rescue spokesman said airport officials report no survivors.“All we know is that there were no survivors,” said Maj.Kenneth Miller of the Search and Rescue Centre in Halifax.He said his information came from the Gander control centre.The plane, owned by Arrow Airlines of Miami, Fla., went down at about 7:05 a.m.Newfoundland time in a hilly, wooded area on the north end of Gander Lake, about 400 metres from the airport.Ann Hurley, who lives about 15 kilometres west of Gander, said she saw a large explosion.“We were probably half-way between Gander and Glenwood when we saw this big explosion right on top of the trees and it died down very quickly,” she said.“In a matter of seconds it was gone.“But, as we drove out to Gander, every once in a while we would see a red glow down towards the lake and that was all.” The plane was carrying service personnel to Fort Campbell, Ky., from West Germany, said Vedder Steed, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Atlanta, Ga.He said no dependents were on board.It was overcast with light snow, light winds and a temperature of -4 C at the time of the crash, according to the aviation weather report.There had been light, freezing drizzle a few hours earlier.Gander International is located about 140 kilometres northwest of St.John’s, the provincial capital, and is often used by aircraft travelling between Europe and North America.The DC-8 is a four-engine jet manufactured by McDonnell Douglas.N.B.included from the start — Mulroney By Edison Stewart OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney strongly denied Wednesday a claim by outgoing Quebec Premier Pierre Marc Johnson that Ottawa had agreed to exclude New Brunswick from a planned summit of francophone countries and now has gone back on its word.“The government of Quebec knew full well throughout that we intended to include New Brunswick in these things,” Mulroney told reporters.And he noted in the Commons later that he had said so publicly, weeks ago.The prime minister also appeared to accuse Johnson indirectly of trying to make New Brunswick francophones second-class citizens.“There aren’t two kinds of francophones — first-class and second-class.There is only one kind, first-class francophones, in Canada,” he told the Commons to a wave of applause from Conservative MPs.Johnson had maintained Tuesday that Ottawa’s decision last week to allow New Brunswick to attend next year’s first-ever francophone summit was “a gesture hostile to Quebec.” Johnson, who will be replaced today by Liberal Leader Robert Bou-rassa after being defeated in the Dec.2 election, also said that in his negotiations with Mulroney on Quebec’s participation at the summit, he told the prime minister he didn’t expect other provinces would be allowed to attend “and he told me he would take care of it.” NEVER A DOUBT But Mulroney said there was never “a shadow of a doubt” that New Brunswick, the only officially bilingual province, would participate.He noted that on Nov.8, the same day a federal-provincial agreement was announced on Quebec’s participation, he told an Ottawa news conference that discussions were under way with New Brunswick “with the goal of concluding with it an agreement assuring its participation at the summit.” Mulroney also noted that for years, Quebec and New Brunswick have had equal official status as participating governments in the Agence de co-operation culturelle et technique, an organization aimed at encouraging co-operation among francophone countries.Similar rules will apply for the summit, expected to be held in France in late January or early February.The agreements between Ottawa and the two provinces call for a two-part summit — one part on world political and economic issues and the other on such items as culture and development.Both provinces may attend the entire summit but there is no provision for them to speak on political issues.They may speak on economic issues with Mulroney’s consent and they can participate fully in the second part of the conference.Mulroney, clearly upset at Johnson’s remarks, took the unusual step of reading reporters a formal statement on the issue on his way See ACCUSED, page 2 Not so, says Johnson By Linda Drouin QUEBEC (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney misled him about the status that Quebec and New Brunswick would have at a summit of francophone nations next year, outgoing Premier Marc Johnson said Wednesday.Johnson was responding to a statement by Mulroney earlier in the day in which Mulroney said Johnson had always been aware that New Brunswick would be on the same footing as Quebec at the meeting.Johnson said that’s not true.He lifi RECORD/PERRY BEATON Massed choirs raise cathedral Hundreds of students from the 11 elementary schools of the

Minister Brian Mulroney will meet Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa in Montreal on Friday for the first time since Bourassa’s Liberals swept the Parti Québécois from power last week, the prime minister’s office says.Few details were released Wednesday, although Mulroney’s press aides said the meeting was scheduled to take place in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, one of the prime minister’s favorite Montreal haunts.The session will give Mulroney a chance to discuss what may be a troublesome aspect for him in relations with the new Quebec premier — Bourassa’s tough position on the federal government’s desire to pursue freer-trade talks with the United States.President Ronald Reagan served notice on the U.S.Congress this week that he wants to begin trade negotiations with Canada, and the president’s move came only a few days after Bourassa expressed caution about a new trade agreement with Washington.In an interview with the New York Times, Bourassa said a freer-trade pact could lead to a customs union with the United States and a loss of Canadian sovereignty.He said a customs union, where the two countries would be required to apply common economic policies to other countries, would lead to common political institutions.“If we start one degree of economic integration, it will be difficult to stop others,” Bourassa said.He said he supports Mulroney’s efforts generally to improve Canada’s external trade.But, after meeting last Thursday with Ontario Liberal Premier David Peterson, Bourassa also said Quebec should have a veto power in trade talks when the province’s interests are at stake.Peterson had earlier taken that position.Bourassa is to be sworn in as Quebec premier today.He was not part of an agreement, which guaranteed the provinces a role in any trade talks, that was reached recently between Mulroney and the premiers — including Parti Québécois premier Pierre Marc Johnson.said Mulroney had implied the two provinces would have “similar" but not “identical” status.The exchange of comments star ted Tuesday when Johnson said a New Brunswick delegation would dilute Quebec’s presence and was a “hostile gesture.” The agreement with New Brunswick was announced last week.The agreement with Quebec was announced with great fanfare Nov.8 during the Quebec election campaign and brought to an end more than 15 years of negotiations about Quebec’s participation in a francophone summit along the lines of the English-speaking Commonwealth.The summit of leaders of the world’s 39 francophone countries is slated to take place in Paris in early February.About 20 countries are expected to participate.NOT IDENTICAL “I was aware New Brunswick would be present but to the extent that Quebec has a special status I believed in good faith that New Brunswick’s status would not be identical,” Johnson said Wednesday.“I always thought New Brunswick would be present behind the flag of Canada.” The agreement with New Brunswick announced last week is identical to the one signed with Quebec.They provide for the premiers of both New Brunswick and Quebec to be at the table alongside the prime minister of Canada and behind their respective flags and nameplates labelled “Canada-New Brunswick” and “Canada-Quebec.” “It’s not a matter of the size of the chair or the flag or the color of the napkins but do you recognize that Quebec is something different in Canada,” Johnson said.Johnson said Mulroney was aware of Quebec’s stand “because it had been explained in the meetings with officials, that we would find it unseemly that the status of Quebec would be the same as New Brunswick.” Johnson said he finds it strange that “the unilingual English speaking premier of New Brunswick (Premier Richard Hatfiel3) wants to go and speak in the name of French New Brunswickers.” Johnson rejected Mulroney’s suggestions that he’s creating two classes of francophones in Canada.“The reality is that Quebec is the only state in North America controlled by francophones,” Johnson said.“Reducing Quebec to the same level as any other province on this international level, is denying that specificity.” Johnson said he believes Robert Bourassa, who will be sworn in as premier today, agrees with his po sition.Number of drug smugglers caught doubles MONTREAL (CP) — Almost twice as many people have been discovered trying to smuggle in packages of drugs by ingestion since tighter customs security around flights originating in Jamaica began at Mirabel Airport, an customs official said Wednesday.Pierre Sigouin, interim chief of operations for Canada Customs’ anti-drug squad in Montreal, said 70 “swallowers” have been caught so far this year compared to 40 in 1984.Though swallowers have also been apprehended at Dorval Air- port, Mirabel seems to be the favored airport because the flights from Jamaica arrive directly, Sigouin said.Five flights a week arrive at Mirabel from Jamaica.Some flights from Montego Bay have as many as 60 travellers whose profiles, behavior or “psychological symptoms” make them suspicious, said Sigouin.“Increasingly, Jamaica has become a supply point for hashish and cocaine,” he said.Customs officials responded to the increased activity 18 months ago by beefing up checks on flights originating from the Caribbean island.Ninety per cent of those who try to smuggle drugs past cus-toms now use the ingestion method, Sigouin estimated.Though customs officals say they have had few complaints about the additional checking, at least one passenger is outraged by the process.Daniel Cloven of Montreal has written to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Jmaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga and the Canadian Human Rights Commission to complain about the customs treat- ment of a nephew at Mirabel last month after their return from Jamaica on a Nordair flight.Cloven said his nephew was detained five hours, interrogated and subjected to a strip search before being cleared.It had been the nephew’s first visit to Jamaica.“I urge you to find a way to put a halt to these fishing expeditions that could have disastrous consequences in discouraging the public to travel, especially out of Mirabel,” he wrote.Sigouin claimed that all checks conform to the Canadian Charter of Rights.Minority education rights disregarded — report OTTAWA (CP) — Only Quebec and New Brunswick have acted so far to conform with Article 23 of the Canadian Constitution dealing with minority education rights, says a report prepared for Secretary of State Benoit Bouchard.The report, compiled by Pierre Foucher, a constitutional specialist at the University of Moncton, says there has been a lack of determination by the other provinces to provide schooling in minority languages where numbers warrant, under the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms adopted three years ago In 1982, Article 23, which was supposed to guarantee English-speaking Quebecers and francophones outside Quebec the right to education in their own language, as w ell as operational control over their own schools, “inspired hope among minority francophones,” the report says.However, inaction by the provinces to revise their legislation has led minorities to seek legal recourse.“The provinces must face up to their constitutional obligations better than they have done so far,” says the report, which was made public Tuesday.It says Quebec could improve its laws to allow English-speaking Quebecers to manage their own schools.However, it notes that both English-speaking Quebecers and French-speaking New Brunswickers do have full rights as far as access to schools is concerned.Elsewhere in Canada, the report notes, the situation is less rosy.In Newfoundland, where provincial laws make no reference to the language of teaching, there is merely a statement of principles without legal value.In Prince Edward Island, the Education Department has a pedagogical adviser who has no authority except to make recommendations.In Nova Scotia the situation is equally unsatisfactory.The legal situation in Ontario is still too fluid to make a judgment, the report adds, but because of vagueness in provincial laws francophones may have to make their claims for educational rights, case by case, before the courts.Drop in dollar value may extend into the new year TORONTO (CP)— Every time Christmas decorations start going up, the Canadian dollar starts going down against its American counterpart and Canadian vacationers heading south feel the pinch.This seasonal decline is sparked largely by the flow of annual dividends and profits from Canadian subsidiaries to parent corporations in the United States as companies clean up their balance sheets before the end of the year.When they convert funds into U.S.dollars, that currency rises while the Canadian dollar declines.This helped the Canadian currency slip from just below 73 cents U.S.a few weeks ago to the mid 71-cent level earlier this week It rallied slightly to close Wednesday at 71.89 cents.Although it usually rebounds in the New Year, some traders and analysts feel the Canadian dollar will continue to drop after the traditional December pressures ease.“There’s a chance it could go below 70 cents in the next several months,” said A1 Pipher, foreign exchange adviser at the Cana- dian Imperial Bank of Commerce.Barry Davenport, vice-president of foreign exchange at the Bank of Montreal, reels off a long list of reasons why the Canadian currency should go down, including the high budget deficit, the threat to Canada’s oil industry of a worldwide price war, bank crises and a reluctance to raise interest rates.He says the currency should average about 71 cents U.S.next year, down from just over 73 cents in 1985.All this spells bad news for Canadian holidaymakers planning a trip to Florida or other spots in the U.S.sunbelt this winter.It already costs about $1 40 to buy one U.S.dollar and if the predictions are borne out, people will soon be charged a few pennies more.The recent volatility in currency markets has also forced banks to increase the spread between the cost of buying a U.S.dollar and what it sells for.For example, it costs $1.40 to buy one U.S.dollar at the Royal Bank, yet if you changed it back into Canadian funds you would only get $1.37. 2—The RECORD—Thursday, December 12, 1985 Farm groups firm in their opposition to federal grain subsidies By David Gersovitz MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec farm groups haven’t mellowed in their opposition to seeing the $658-million federal grain transportation subsidy paid directly to western farmers instead of the railways.Two of the province’s major farm groups made that point to a Grain Transportation Agency hearing Wednesday, calling the current policy of paying the annual subsidy to the railways the “only acceptable compromise” in an un certain farm economy.Spokesmen for the Union des producteurs agricoles, which represents 50,000 producers, and the Cooperative Federee du Quebec, representing co-operatives, said federal money shouldn’t be used to favor the growth of the livestock industry in one region to the detriment of others.They added, however, that they have no qualm about provinces subsidizing their own agricultural producers.They told a panel headed by former transport minister Jack Horner that predictions in the 1984 Hall Committee report that the federal transportation subsidy could be paid directly to farmers without harming Quebec livestock producers were based on overly optimistic projections for the growth of Canada’s livestock exports to the United States.THREAT TO FARMS They said U.S.protectionism is a direct threat to existing farm imports from Canada.Heavy third-world indebtedness may also encourage the United States to favor livestock imports from Latin America — taking away Canadian market share — to help those countries pay off some of their huge debts with American banks.Steps may be taken to devalue the strong U.S.dollar, which would make foreign imports more expensive in the United States and U.S.farm products cheaper abroad.Either way, Canadian producers are going to lose markets.To support their contention that studies in the early 1980s were overly optimistic, the Quebec groups cited a 1981 U.S.study predicting a growth in overseas export markets of up to 2.7 per cent annually, and a 1981 Agriculture Canada survey predicting one-to-two per cent annual growth in real farm prices through to the year 2000.Then they cited the MacDonald Commission report on the economy this year, which noted that more recent studies predict no growth or even a drop in real farm prices.The Grain Transportation Agency is reviewing the Western Grain Transportation Act, which replaced the Crowsnest Pass railway grain rate.Horner’s panel is to report to the government by Fe- bruary.WON CASE When the Crow rate was being phased out in 1983, Quebec farmers argued that giving the federal subsidy — intended to offset higher rates — directly to western farmers would encourage western farmers to sell grain as low-cost feed locally to western livestock producers and pocket the subsidy.That in turn would give western livestock a huge advantage over eastern producers.Feeling the pressure from Quebec, the Liberal government in Ottawa opted to pay the subsidy to the railways.That way, the full value is applied to export grain shipments.Some western farm groups ar- gue that paying the subsidy to farmers would help the western agricultural economy diversify, that subsidizing railway grain rates has favored grain producers to the detriment of growth in the livestock area.Between 1962 and 1982, the western share of Canadian hog production has fallen to 27 per cent from 42 per cent while Quebec production has rose to 37 per cent from 18 per cent.But the Quebec farm groups said Wednesday that had more to do with go,d markets and prices for grain abroad, which encouraged farmers to export grain.They argued that hog production in the last few years has been growing in the West and stagnating in Quebec.It’s official: Black buys two British newspapers By Rick Gibbons LONDON (CP) — Toronto financier Conrad Black has acquired a Controlling interest in The Daily Telegraph and its companion, The Sunday Telegraph, in a multimil-lion-dollar deal, the former owner of the financially-troubled company confirmed Wednesday.The announcement by Lord Hartwell ended a week of boardroom manoeuvrings and lively gossip along Fleet Street and came only hours after Black’s bid to gain control of the newspaper won the blessing of the British government, which waved an investigation by the Monopolies and Mergers Commission.A statement released by Industry Secretary Leon Brittan said there is no need for an investigation because the deal did not create competition problems.“This proposed acquisition is not a newspaper merger,” the statement said.Though there are regulations governing concentration of newspaper ownership, Black has no other press interests in Britain.In a statement expected to be published in today ’ s edition of The Telegraph, Lord Hartwell said the deal was struck “in order to finance the complete replanning” of the newspaper.PLANS RESTRUCTURING “The company will have to be restructured,” Lord Hartwell said.“As a main result, Mr.Conrad Black, already a substantial shareholder through his Canadian companies, will subscribe for new shares, giving him a 50.1-per-cent holding.” Lord Hartwell’s family has owned the newspaper group since 1928.“My family, previously controlling 60 per cent, will be reduced to a minority,” he said.In giving the government’s nod of approval, Brittan rejected an appeal by journalists at The Telegraph for guarantees of noninterference in editorial policy by Black.In a letter earlier this week to Brittan, 250 employees represented by the National Union of Journalists asked for safeguards against interference “in the content, policy or editorial direction of the newspaper” by foreign interests.However, Brittan’s office said the minister had no statutory powers to respond to the request.His decision to support the sale followed a recommendation Monday by the Office of Fair Trade that the deal be allowed to go through.Telegraph management had sought speedy approval of the package given the current financial state of the newspaper.Grits and NDP to fight allowance cuts together OTTAWA (CP) — The Liberals and New Democrats plan to put up a final fight to stall passage of a bill that will limit inflation protection for family allowances.But the government, which wants the legislation passed by Christmas, hinted Wednesday it would respond to any stalling tactics in the Commons by moving once again to cut off debate on the bill.“We’re going to put up a real fight against it,” Liberal House Leader Herb Gray said in an interview.“It’s not a matter of stalling, but a matter of fully and adequately debating it, something which this bill hasn’t had in our view.” He added that a full debate on the complex issue can’t take place in the seven sitting days left before the House breaks for Christmas.New Democrat House Leader Ian Deans also said his party would like to stall passage of the bill but hasn’t decided on its course of action.The bill, one of several arising from the Conservative government’s May 23 budget, would limit future cost-of-living increases in the monthly baby bonus to increases in inflation higher than three per cent a year.In other words, if the inflation rate was four per cent a year, the baby bonus would go up by only one per cent.Accused of favoritism Continued from page 1 into the weekly Conservative caucus meeting.YEARS OF SQUABBLING The squabble reminded many observers of the fighting that for years had scuttled previous attempts to organize such a summit.It was only a few weeks ago that Conservative MPs were boasting in the Commons of an end to the “war of the flags” over which government could do what.They claimed that, unlike the federal Liberals, they knew how to deal with Johnson s Parti Québécois and get results.The relationship began to go sour toward the end of the Quebec election campaign, as the polls made clear the provincial Liberals were about to win.Mulroney had initially been accused by federal Liberals of favoring the PQ.But then Johnson complained that the prime minister was holding up several important development projects he wanted to announce during the campaign.1_____faei lESGUTu Georgs

transplant in Canada is in satisfactory condition at the Montreal Children’s Hospital six days after the operation, the hospital said in a news release Wednesday.The vital signs of the 13-month-old baby girl, whose name was not released, are within normal limits and the liver is functioning well.A combined liver transplant team from four hospitals in the Montreal area carried out the surgery Dec.4, becoming the first team in Canada to perform the complicated surgery on an infant.Cops’ gun hunt bags plenty MONTREAL (CP) — Montreal police., who launched an operation to seize illegal weapons, were surprised when raids turned up more than 5,000 weapons at 17 stores.“We really didn’t expect to find this much,” Det.-Sgt.Claude Lesieur said Wednesday.“We tried to do a small operation, raid maybe three stores.Instead we found 15 (selling the weapons).I’m sure we’ve eliminated most of the illegal weapons in the city.” Sixteen people have been charged with selling and distributing prohibitive weapons, and possession of illegal weapons.The weapons have a total value of about $70,000.Mulroney hears gassers’ plight OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney met Wednesday with members of a group trying to save their jobs in Montreal’s hard-pressed petrochemical industry.Mulroney told the group he would meet Friday with Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa in Montreal and that the fate of the petrochemical industry would be on the agenda.The workers want federal assistance to save the Petromont ethylene plant and the Gulf oil refinery.The refinery closes at the end of the year, putting 450 out of work.If the ethylene plant closes, 250 would be unemployed.StatsCan releases killing totals TORONTO (CP) — Killers in Quebec and British Columbia prefer guns; those in the Prairies and Ontario favor knives; Atlantic Canadians like beating their victims to death; and murderers in the Yukon and Northwest Territories are equally fond of guns and fists, says Statistics Canada.While poet T.S.Eliot deemed April the cruellest month, it was by far the least deadly for Canadians in 1983, when the fewest killings—6.2 per cent of the year’s total of 682 — were committed, the federal statistics agency says in its latest compilation of homicide figures.March had the second-lowest toll of slayings, while October had the highest percentage at 10.2.Nameless tarantula stolen WINNIPEG (CP) — A cat burglar dropped through the roof of a local pet store and stole away with a black tarantula spider and some money, police said Wednesday.Crime Supt.Clarke Peckover said the thief apparently ripped open a rooftop air vent and crawled through the hole before dropping to the floor and making off with the six-month-old spider.Store owner Dave Watkins said the missing spider had only been in the store for a few weeks before it was stolen.“We hadn’t even given it a name,” Watkins said.The thief carried the eight-legged spider away in its glass display bowl, although a tarantula bite is not any more poisonous than a bee sting.$7.5M cheque found in store REGINA (CP) — SaskOil and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce were relieved when a $7.5-million cheque was found under a rack of clothes in a store.“I just about died,” said store manager Ela-nor Pollock, who found the cheque.“I didn’t think it was real.” She called SaskOil, but was cut off, so she walked across the street to a branch of the Commerce.“It freaked them out, too,” she said.Meanhile, the unidentified courier service that lost the cheque was frantically retracing its steps from the main branch of the Commerce, where it was supposed to have gone.The only reward Pollock apparently will get is a word of thanks.“I thought a share in (SaskOil) would have been nice,” she said.Reagan orders
