¥ Don ¦ «*«• o* We’ve gotten the lead out of gasoline Now if we could just get it out of husbands! MOSCOW ( CP ) - The Soviet Union announced Wed nesday it harvested a record grain crop of 223.8 million metric tons in 1976, but still plans to fulfil its com mitments to purchase grain from other countries, including Canada The bumper crop com pares with the previous record of 222.5 million tons in 1973 and with the disastrous 1975 figure of 140 million, a 10-year low Soviet Agriculture Minister Valentin Mesyats, in announcing the record production, told a news conference the Soviet Union plans to boost the average annual harvest of grain to 235 million tons by 1980 Under a one-year contract negotiated with Canada early last year, it agreed to purchase two million metric tons of grain during the current crop year which ends July 31 The pattern in recent years has been to negotiate one-year deals.and Canadian officials in Ottawa said Wednesday talks are continuing for further sales The officials said the Soviet Union may not require as much next year, but they have indications from recent reports that the quality of the record crop may not be as good as first thought BUY FROM THE U S The Soviet Union's agreements for foreign grain pur chases include one with the United States that calls for it take a minimum six million tons annually, a minimum that U S officials say has already been surpassed for 1976 The agreement signed in 1975 runs for five years After talks with Soviet officials here last month, Richard Bell, an assistant U S.agriculture secretary, said he had been told the new' crop looked good, but he pointed out that adverse weather conditions later in the year could cut into the final production figure Soviet grain crops frequently are at the mercy of dry weather or severe freezing under light snow cover But inefficient far ming methods also are blamed for some failures Mesyats said the record production has been achieved despite extremely difficult weather conditions He said the sharp upswing from 1975 was due “to the massive organization and political work’’ carried out by the party among the farmers and by the con centration of resources on agricultural development Mesyats also announced that the 1976 sugar beet crop was 85 million tons, com pared with about 83 million tons in 1973 The 1976 cotton crop was given as 8 3 million tons, about 100.000 tons short of the 1974 record both related to language.” he said “The first is that provincial law requires that any engineer coming to the province gain a working knowledge of French within a year “The second is that Premier Rene) Levesque has put a freeze on the English school system and says future immigrants to the province will have to send their children to French schools," he said This tends to reduce the flow of people willing to immigrate to Quebec and limits the number of potential candidates for engineering jobs, he ex plained However.Mr.Ellison stressed that the proposed move was in no way related to the Nov 15 Parti Québécois election victory and said that the company had been studying the idea “in a leisurely fashion” since 1974 The company is awaiting a report to see how many of the head office employees, if any.can be moved to Ontario, he said Last year Montreal last more than 20 head offices most of them to Ontario However, they did not single out language legislation as the reason for leaving the province US-Canada relations a key issue WASHINGTON iAP) Almost as soon as he takes office, President-elect Carter will face some key decisions likely to influence the United States’ uneasy relationship with Canada for years to come The issues that will face Carter immediately range from joint air-defence needs to the disputed ownership of islands in the Arctic and off the eastern seaboard, diplomatic sources say Other problems have been smouldering for years and quick settlement by the new administration might provide a basis for wider agreements between the two neighbors US defence arrange ments are more extensive with Canada than with any other country and the Cater administration will have to make some early decisions on their continuation The two governments work together within the North American Air Defence Command NORAD, which exercises operational control over U S and Canadian air defence forces and provides ear!’ warning information PRESIDENT CARTER faces several key decisions on US-Uanadian relations in case of air and missile attack Extensive NORAI) radar networks operate in Canada TO DISCUSS DEFENCE Officials of the two countries are due to discuss current air-defence needs and costs late this month Then a policy decision will have to be made in Washington and Ottawa about meeting these needs and sharing their costs Another immediate contact between Canada and the new administration is a Jan 17 meeting in Los Angeles where negotiators will meet to put into place 200-mile fishing zones The aim is to co-ordinate the zones in ways designed to head off possible conflicts The Canadian zone was set up formally Jan 1 The U S zone comes into being March 1 Each is designed to protect depleted fish stocks But certain overlapping difficulties have arisen and, pending a settlement of certain conflicting boundary claims, U S trawlers have been freed from the obligation of having to In* licensed to fish in the Canadian zone In parallel with these talks, the two governments will lx* trying

surrounding them where oil and gas deposits are believed to exist Then, during February, the Carter administration must make another key decision to avoid the possibility of a one-sided Canadian action over St Lawrence seaway tolls Canada wants these tolls raised substantially and has been pressing to negotiate changes in existing agreements to remove the all Canadian Welland canal from joint seaway toll fixing arrangements Even though Canada and the United States are military allies within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, they do not always see eye to eye on economic and foreign policies Investigation demanded in Israel TEL AVIV (AP) — Demands for a full investigation of the latest scandal to hit Israel’s governing Labor party continued today despite Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's statement that his housing minister who committed suicide was falsely accused of embezzlement The potential for damage to the party’s chances in the May 17 election was heightened by suggestions that Avraham Ofer shot himself Monday night because Rabin and other members of the cabinet turned their backs on him The prime minister in a eulogy at Ofer’s funeral Wednesday said the charges that Ofer was linked to the alleged diversion of government land money were libels Reading from Ofer’s suicide note that “I did not em bezzle or steal” Rabin said: These sincere words in a moment of supreme reckoning challenge those he held responsible for slandering him and spilling his blood Will this serve to shock, to teach how careful people must be in their speech and in the press to honor a man and his inocence, and not to judge without trial” Fhud Olmert, an anti Labor member of parliament, said Rabin appeared to lx* trying to shift the blame for the suicide “onto the shoulders of those who performed their proper duties, including the press and political bodies ” Olmert, who first raised the question of Ofer’s in volvement in the scandal in parliament last week, said the minister’s “depression resulted from his colleagues attitudes toward him and especially the reaction of Rabin himself” “He was a broken man, abandoned by his so-called friends in the government”, said Arieh Eliav, a confidant of Ofer’s and a member of parliament The Jerusalem Post says a Labor party official told it “No one talked to him, no one said what they had against him There is no doubt he died with a feeling the leader ship had done him wrong.” However, Rabin in his eulogy said he told Ofer the day before his death, after he denied the accusations: “Avraham, I, Yitzhak Rabin, believe you.” Says lottery funds 'pie in the sky' QUEBEC (CP) — Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau Wednesday described as “pie in the sky” estimates of $300 million to $350 million in revenues from Loto-Canada to help pay off the $1 billion Olympic deficit He was commenting on re lease of revenue figures for the first of the 13 Loto Canada draws, which could result in revenues of not more than $185 million for the Olympics by the time the lottery ends in 1979 Lottery officials in Ottawa say it is still possible that an average of 7 5 million $10 tickets will be sold in future draws, and describe the first draw as “a phenomenal success” despite the fact that 1.5 million tickets remained unsold Proceeds from the Dec 5 draw to the Olympic in sta Hat ions board, a Quebec agency, totalled $14 22 million Former Quebec finance minister Raymond Garneau announced in his spring budget that he expected revenues of $350 million from the federal lottery an ex tension of the successful Olympic lottery Jean Chretien, federal treasury Ixiard president, said at the time that $300 million was a more realistic figure COULD BE SHORT If revenues do not increase in future draws, the total revenue from the 13 draws to lx* held four times a year will total $184 85 million, short of both estimates “Now you will understand why we asked for guaran tees,” Mr Parizeau said Quebec’s request for a federal guarantee of lottery revenues was refused by Finance Minister Donald Macdonald at December’s federal provincial finance ministers conference Jean Garneau.a spokesman for Loto-Canada.said in an interview that he is confident sales of the $10 tickets will increase despite competition from the $5 Provincial lottery More than six million LotoCanada tickets were Says rich-poor gap narrowing MONTREAL (CP) — The income gap between rich and poor in Canada is narrow ing despite Statistics Canada figures which suggest the contrary.a McGill University management professor said Wednesday Donald Armstrong said the Statistic Canada figures on income distribution released recently were “terribly mis leading ” The figures showed that the poorest 20 per cent of the Canadian population received 3 9 per cent of the country’s total income in 1975.down from 4 per cent in 1974 and 4 4 per cent in 1965 The richest 20 per cent in Canada increased their share of total income to 42 4 per cent in 1975, one per cent more than their share in • But Mr Armstrong disputed the view that these figures demonstrate the failure of government programs aimed at re distributing income through family allowances and im proved social welfare BETTER PICTURE The McGill professor said a more accurate picture of incomes can be painted using lifetime earnings rather than income for a particular year A soon to be released study by a team in his department estimates that the gap between lifetime earnings of the rich and the pcx)r has narrowed by be tween 10 and 20 per cent since the Second World War.a definite indication that there has been “a significant redistribution of income,” Mr Armstrong said For example, he explained.people now enter the work force later and leave it earlier in life, so that thev earn more money in less time than workers one or two generations ago Mr Armstrong criticized Statistics Uanada for not dividing the lowest income group into categories He pointed out that not all people in the group earning less than $4.968 a year are born, work and die in poverty “Many of these people are students who may be poor by income standards in one par ticular year, but whose pros pects for the future are ex relient,” Mr Armstrong said sold for the first draw and the corporation is hoping to sell seven million tickets for the second draw in Regina, March 13 “By the third or fourth, we’ll have reached our target figure of 7.5 million,” Mr Garneau said The Provincial lottery, a joint venture of the Ontario and Western Canada lot teries, is the main com petition for Loto Canada Like Ix>to Canada, it offers $1 million prizes but Provincial tickets sell for $5 each DR \W SOLD OUT The first draw was held Oct 31 and 90 per cent of the 3 3 million tickets were sold The second draw, on New-Year s Eve was sold out with 4 3 million tickets spoken for Mr Garneau said LotoCanada was lx»gun this fall in a crowded market, but one which has yet to be saturated, especially in English Canada Lotteries are already well established in Quebec Mr Garneau conceded that sales of I>oto-Canada tickets have decreased proportionately in Ontario in comparison with sales of the Olympic lottery On the other hand, Quebecers bought 45 75 per cent of LotoC anada tickets compared with 41 57 of all nine Olympic draws 2 — THE SHERBROOKE RECORD — Till RS.JAN.6.1977

tales of such famous Red Indian tribes as the Sioux and the Xpache.a British company has recently shown its latest collection which includes this Squaw’ look - so popular on the continent -made in I OH per cent cotton crepe MONTREAL (CP) Globetrotting fashion designer Gilles Gagne took his cue from Kenzo and St Laurent recently and launched his first ready-to-wear collection at a chic downtown discotheque Foresaking the traditional soft-music-and-ccmmentary format.Mr.Gagne ordered the amplifier turned up full blast and sent his models gyrating down the short runway and into the crowd which, unable to make conversation above the ear-splitting rock music, gave the clothes its full attention.The insistant drumbeat, some tropical-looking potted plants, the dark room and the brightlycolored spring and summer sportswear all combined to create a jungle-party atmosphere —a welcome contrast to the blustery snowstorm and be-low-zero temperatures outside Mr Gagne himself, his rotund form dwarfed by the tall models, looked flushed and excited as he danced up and down the runway at the show’s end The signature women’s sportswear collection for the Paris-based firm Jousse represents a new direction in the career of the 36-year-old designer who was born and grew up in Montreal’s less-than-fashionable east end TRAVELLED WIDELY Mr.Gagne, who now lives here and in New York, has previously travelled mostly in show business circles A one-time pupil of Rudi Gernreich—father of the topless bathing suit—Mr Gagne says he has worked all over the world His designs have turned up in a variety of stage and film productions and he has costumed several entertainers, including Quebec pop star Robert Charlebois.Two years ago he even created the uniforms for the staff at Montreal’s performing arts centre.Place des Arts.Last year, he did a television documentary on Salvatore Dali, the man he calls his “life master.” Mr.Gagne said in an interview he is happy to leave behind the hassles of doing couturier work for wealthy matrons who are apt to complain if a design doesn’t look as well on them as it does on a sleek model in a sketch To this first ready-to-wear collection he hopes to add a tennis and swimwear collection A cologne bearing his name also is in the works, he said GEARED TO YOl TH The Jousse collection is geared to the young and trim and draws heavily on the flowing.wrapped and drawstring looks that have characterized casual wear for the past few seasons Skin-tight white pants, flared at the bottoms to be tied around the ankle, were worn with a variety of tops ranging from long tunics, and short, hooded blousons to skinny cotton knits Pedal pushers came either separate.as part of a jumpsuit or with an overall top There were also a few comfortable looking, simple shifts which can presumably double as tunics.The light cottons and crepede-chine were either in bright primary colors—solid or printed on white—or plain white and neutral shades In the dim light it was hard to distinguish between the latter two.For afternoon and evening, loose, draped and wrapped dresses were shown in solid black, off-white or All were worn with high, high heels or platform sandals and an occasional scarf or hat on the head Priced in the $70-to-$100 range, the French-manufactured collection will he distributed in department stores and boutiques all over Canada and in the United States.Polly’s Pointers Polly’s Problem DEAR POLLY — Please tell me how to remove a water ring from a piece of fine furniture This was made by careless watering of a plant I know you have had instructions for this but I did not have the foresight to clip them.— MRS F DEAR MRS.F.— There are many remedies for this, but remember that with most of them hard rubbing with the grain of the wood is just about as important as what is used.My favorite is to make a paste with salad or mineral oil.Apply and rub vigorously until white mark disappears and then wipe off and polish as usual.For a less strenuous job you could try a few drops of ammonia on a damp cloth and rub LIGHTLY.Always rub dry with a clean cloth.Petroleum jelly rubbed in and left overnight and then rubbed off will usually do the trick, too.- POLLY.DEAR POLLY — Maudie wrote that she had trouble removing marks left by basting threads I suggest that she tries steam pressing using a cloth dampened with white vinegar That seems to close these “pores’’ Hope this helps her.— CAROLYN DEAR POLLY — I am past the age for climbing a step ladder to clean the outside of my windows, so I purchased a sponge mop (the kind sold for cleaning a kitchen floor) and keep it just for washing windows I use a long squeegee on a stick to remove the water.This method is easy, quick and above all SAFE for Grandma.— MRS G M R DEAR POLLY — I feel it is my time to share a few things with the other readers My husband was trying to put a final coating on some desk legs I had refinished and found that tying them on the clothesline (the long bolts were tied to the line» made it possible to do all sides easily and it was also a great way for them to dry My washing machine calls for one half-cup fabric softener in the automatic dispenser, but I have found that buying a good quality fabric softener and diluting it with one part softener to three parts water in a plastic gallon jug makes the fabric softener go so much further I am saved having to dilute it for each wash load — BARBARA Z DEAR POLLY — Put plastic gummed tape over the large holes in a salt shaker when you go to fill it When the shaker is full remove the tape and there is no mess A great way to keep scraps of leftover fabric neat and unwrinkled is to save cardboard rolls out of gift wrapping paper and roll such pieces around them Secure the ends with a piece of tape The rolls also save on space.— ANNA DEAR POLLY — I am up in years and seem to be chilly most of the time This past year I have started to wear warm slacks, but my feet, legs, arms and shoulders would still get cold I bought pantyhose that helped with my legs, feet and hips Then I cut off the thick toe parts of a used pair of pantyhose and made a two-inch slit in the crotch across from one seam to another and a three-inch slit down the middle front seam I slip this over my head and my arms go down in the legs with a neat cuff turned up.They do not have to be hemmed.since the fabric just rolls They are so warm and I no longer need to wear a heavy sweater in the house Many of my friends here at the home are doing the same and like it very much — ARLENE Rene Robert

Alexander Yakushev The brilliant left winger scored two goals from the edge of the crease and was a threat all night against Ken Broderick, the Edmonton goaltender who played several seasons of inter national competition with the Canadian national team Peter Prirodin scored the other Soviet goal, steering a power play pass from Alexander Bilialetdinov past Broderick to put the Soviets ahead for good while Cowboy Flett was serving a penalty for playing with a broken stick Both Edmonton goals were scored by Wayne Connelly, obtained last week on waivers from Calgary Cowboys, who are one point behind the Oilers in the race for fourth place and the last playoff spot in the WHA’s Western Division The first goal was set up by Claude St Sauveur, who came from Calgary at the same time Connelly’s second goal, a power play blast set up by-Bryan Campbell and Barry Wilkins, ignited a late Oiler rally that threatened to force overtime, but Russian referee Victor Dombrowsky called a penalty against Doug Barrie in the final two minutes and the spurt died instantly The Soviets closed out the game by controlling the puer» in the Edmonton zone Broderick made one g(x>d stop and had the puck go

Yakushev opened scoring and Rick Morris beat Sidelnikov with a shot that hit the inside of the pipe shortly before Connelly’s second goal Broderick was especially sharp against Alexander Maltsev and

role OTTAWA (CP) — Mackenzie King convinced himself as prime minister 30 years ago that he had been divinely appointed to expose an Ottawa-based Soviet spy ring and thereby help the world toward an era of interna tional brotherhood That belief is expressed repeatedly in the 1946 personal diaries of the late prime minister, 1,173 pages of typescript released to the gene ral public for the first time Tuesday by the Public Archives of Canada The documents show that, in his own mind.King buffered the frightening reali ties of cold war tensions released by the spy case with mystical visions or mundane asides about bathing his pet dog, finding somebody to ar range his travels and chortling privately about the dis comfiture of Russian diplomats at a cocktail party “I have been somehow sin gled out as an instrument on the part of unseen forces to bring about the exposure that has now taken place,*’ the late Canadian leader told his daily diary after official disclosure of the spy case that helped start decades of East-West hostility.King, prime minister for more than 21 years between 1921 and his death in 1950, added in a diary entry for Feb.16, 1946, that exposing the international spy ring and showing the Soviet masses how they are ruled complications .“ Tallulah dazzled the late Prime Minister by a few might bring about “a real brotherhood among the common people of the earth." “To help towards that end is unquestionably my mission and the thing for which I was born " EXPOSED ABROAD In fact, the first public disclosure of the Ottawa-based spy ring was made in the United States by broad caster Drew Pearson that Feb 4 — five full months after coding clerk Igor Gou zenko defected from the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa and gave incredulous autho rities names and details con cerning years of espionage in Canada, the United States and Britain King, who had hoped his government could “clean up the situation itself" without disclosing the spy ring affair believed that the Drew Pear son scoop had been leaked intentionally by the US.state department to expose the Soviet duplicity to the world King had been skeptical at first, disbelieving Gou zenko, and cautious about affronting Russia “I do not believe his story about their having avowed treachery," King had writ ten in his diary the day after Gouzenko had defected the previous Sept 5.“For us to come into possession of a secret code book of a Russian secret code book would be a source of major OTTAWA (CP) - Tallulah Bankhead, the late American actress with the deep voice and irreverent manners, dazzled and startled former prime min ister Mackenzie King in an encounter 30 years ago with her capacity to toss back champagne after a hard night on the stage The actress is among scores of personalities, great and small, who people the pages of King’s personal diary The diary for 1946 was released Tuesday by the Public Archives of Canada The late prime minister, who loved the company of women, met Miss Bankhead at an Ottawa party July 8, 1946, after seeing her in a touring production of the Noel Coward play Private Lives at the old Capitol Theatre He records the meeting in his diary: “She, herself, is a free and easy sort of person I doubt very much, however, if she will last long I notice that she drank a glass of champagne straight down and then later had more champagne in the evening, which is pretty bad after the kind of play she had been in." King, then 71 and abstemious, died four years later Miss Bankhead, then 43.went on for another 23 years to her death in 1969 RECORDED FEELINGS King, prime minister for more than 21 years between 1921 and 1948, confided to his diary his true feelings about many people, from the mighty to the now-forgotten On Jan 10, during a visit to Ottawa by then Gen Dwight I).Eisenhower, later U.S.president, King announced “the change in the name of Castle Mountain in Banff to that of Mount Eisenhower .I noticed that his eyes filled with tears as he made a reference to what it meant to have his family name go down through centuries to come." Thirty years later there is a campaign in the Rocky Mountain region to change the name back to Castle Mountain On June 28, King records with a touch of annoyance that he rewrote a speech about citizenship by Paul Martin, then secretary of state and currently Canadian high commissioner in London “He had written out something, but it was a mere mass of platitudes," King observed The following day, the prime minister had a meeting with the late Lester B.Pearson, then am bassador in Washington and later prime minister of Canada “I spoke to him of keeping in mind a possible future for himself in Canadian public life," the diary records, “stressing the need of leadership by those who have an understanding of world affairs." Vincent Massey, Canadian high commissioner to Great Britain and later governor-general, was denounced by King for his “vain glory" in actively seeking the British Companion of Honor decoration King wrote that he despised Massey for desiring the honor but nonetheless helped to arrange it.Cuban vessels hit with maximum fines for trespassing HALIFAX (CP) Two of three Cuban fishing vessels were given maximum fines after pleading guilty in magistrates court Tuesday to charges of trespassing in Canadian territorial waters The trawler Playa Colo-rada and the factory ship Oceano Antartico were fined $2,000 each and the trawler Playa Giron was fined $1.500 as a result of a Nov 8 inci dent off Nova Scotia which a senior federal fisheries officer says highlights cost and enforcement problems in coastal surveillance At the time, the Canadian territorial limit was 12 miles It now is 200 miles “After hearing this case you can use your imagination to see how hard it’ll be to enforce a 200-mile limit." Stan Dudka, supervisor of international surveillance for the federal fisheries de partment.said in an inter- Even five months later, after the U.S disclosure.King took a cautious 10 days to issue a public statement which made no mention of Russians He called in Soviet embassy representatives be forehand to tell them what he was doing ATTITUDE SHIFTS But King’s attitude as re vealed in his diaries shifted to the idea that he had been destined by other worldly powers to orchestrate this shock to world politics And.finally, he believed world leaders applauded him for his courageous role in the espionage affair By cloaking the affair in ideas of providential destiny.King helped disguise from himself the sharp edges of danger He had fretted that Russia might react in anger, that Canada would become an atomic battleground, or at least break up as its regions sought closer ties with the U.S.for protection On Feb 16.the day after publishing formal confirmation of espionage and ap pointing a royal commission of inquiry, the prime minis ter portrays himself as the instrument of unseen powers and observes that “the forces it will arouse are more terrific than any of us begin to comprehend And then, in a previously unpublished passage.King goes into seven pages of meandering thoughts about his role in exposing the Gou zenko affair “Now for some interesting psychical phenomena." he begins The episodes involve receiving new books, about Indian mysticism, which he believes symbolize the struggle of the materialist world against the spiritual communism against Western democracy RECALLS VOICE That, in turn, reminds King of a spirit Hindu who “guided my thought" for years Then the prime minister shifts suddenly from the mystical to the everyday practical in playing his global role “This is all what the world rightly describes as mystical.but the whole vision is as clear to me as day What I have to pray for above all else, is physical, mental and spiritual strength." he says “I must command who ever I need But there is no one in sight around me who could look after steamship.hotels and make arrange ments of that kind.” Next, he perceives in a cover picture of a hand on one of his new books the initials.D McK.which make him think of his brother McDougall King The hand also reminds him of a spiritualist experiment where, upon death he says, the life departs through the finger tips so that a spirit hand is “quite visible at some distance from the former living hand " Finally, in connection with the stress of exposing the spy affair.King remarks that the hand theme reminds him of the quotation “our times are in Thy hands.” which is what he always thinks about when he looks at a clock and sees its two hands together \\ ASHES DOG That same dav.he had broken away from thoughts of the Gouzenko affair to wash his pet terrier — “I gave little Pat a partial bath so he would be presentable tonight" at a prime minister ial dinner for diplomats At another diplomatic reception about the same time.King records what he takes to be the embarrassment of Russians present : “I noticed a certain coloring up on faces of one or two.but what amused me most was the way in which Olga's husband seemed greatly perturbed at seeing me and took great pains to get away without seeking to converse.” By May 22, at a meeting with Winston Churchill in London.King recorded the former British prime minister applauding him for handling the spy affair “in a mag nificent way — spoke of the courage I had in bringing the matter out A month later in Ottawa.Anthony Eden.future British prime minister, was telling King in private that “we handled the whole matter superbly," says the diarv for June 23.1946 BEEKEEPER SUPPLIES PACKAGE BEES (Order early for Spring 1977 delivery) QUEENS STRAPPS HONEY PRODUCTS INC.Box 641, Sutton J0E2K0 514 538 2711 view after the trial “It’ll be impossible to enforce the law unless the fishing nations agree to obey it ” COSTS HIGH Mr Dudka estimated the Nov 8 pursuit by two Cana dian destroyers, two military aircraft and two fishe ries vessels of the three Cuban vessels, two of which were commanded by Soviet skippers, cost Canadian tax payers $20.000 “American and Canadian ships and aircraft are still out there looking for a missing 640 foot tanker w ith millions of gallons of heavy oil on board and they can t find a trace of her.” Mr Dudka said “You can see the problem the 200 mile limit creates and you know the answers to questions on surveillance problems before you ask them."
