corporate leaders and a Canadian television audience Wednesday that Canada s economic recovery hinges on a fast, fair solution to quest ions posed by Quebec separatism “There can he no question that our economic prospects are clouded by the current uncertainty over the future unity of our country,” Trudeau said in a 45-minute speech to a black-tie crowd of businessmen described hv JOE, ED NOT IMPRESSED OTTAWA (CP) — The two major opposition leaders in Cam da said Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech in New York must have failed to impress both Canadians and Americans Commenting after the prime minister spoke for more than 40 minutes at the Economic Club of New York, Opposition leader Joe CL.rk said the prime minister failed to satisfy questions raised in both countries In fact he questioned why the prime minister bothered to go to New York He said no matter whether Trudeau was seeking political gain or to restore interest in the Canadian economy elsewhere, he failed to spell out any specific proposals New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent said the prime minister used rhetoric and facts about Canadian economic recovery that are incorrect one observer as Canada’s “friends and creditors.” Canadians.Trudeau added.are rejecting the separatist aims of Premier Rene Levesque's Parti Québécois government, realizing that only a “foolishly self-destruct ive society” would allow the country to disintegrate “1 am confident that the people of Quebec, where the choice is fairly put, will reject an ethnocentric nationalism in favor of a renewed and more productive relationship with their follow Canadians.” Trudeau (ie\o,t*d only one-tenth of his 5,000-word ad dress to the Quebec question—the bulk of it dealt with economic issues at home and abroad—but it appeared to be the issue

Levesque’s words at a similar dinner here 14 months ago when the premier described Quebec independence as inevitable, “as natural and irreversible as growth itself.” If that was so.Trudeau argued.then the same logic would suggest that he would now he a U S.state governor rather than prime minister Trudeau's remarks were apparently aimed at several audiences-l he U S financial community, the US.government, Quebec and Canadian voters In his speech and in a subsequent quest ion-and-ans-wer session, he assured U S businessmen that Canada wants and needs their in vestments in natural resources and energy projects PM LETS SLIP ELECTION HINT NEW YORK (CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau jokingly hinted at a June federal election date Wednesday “1 would say that June is a likely date but I wouldn't say what year.” the prime minister replied when a questioner suggested the month for an election following Trudeau's speech to the Economic Club of New York By law.Trudeau is not forced to call an election until July, 1979 The questioner had asked why Trudeau remained in politics after 10 years as prime minister “I feel that our party and myself as a member of it have ihe right answers still today to the questions which arise.” Trudeau replied “And quite frankly.I’d rather he governed by our party than by any other And.therefore.I’m staying around at least for one more election" His comments followed a small election date joke at the beginning of his speech that raised eyebrows in Canada DREW 2,000 In his introduction, club chairman Francis J Dunleavy said Trudeau had helped draw more than 2.000 guests to the $50-a-plate dinner Then he asked Trudeau “If you choose to lead your party (into an election) in June, why9’* Trudeau rejoined “I hope there’s some rule that there are no refunds after the speeches I think that might be just what you deserve Mr Chairman, that they would ask for refunds “Because when 1 gave you during our dinner con versation, the date of the next federal election.I didn't expect you’d announce it to this audience “Let’s say we might fool them and l still might change that date that I gave you.” Despite the interchange, there was no firm

as non-renewable The only way to do that is to raise prices, the PM said He came out for government controls, but not too many, tariff barriers but not too high, all in moderation Canada is on the road to recovery now.Mr Trudeau said, but the dark cloud on the national horizon is still the question of Quebec’s future in Confederation Economic recovery and unity go hand in hand Whatever Joe Clark and Ed Broadbent had to say about the speech, the audience ate it up Mr Trudeau came across as the statesman he is.very much aware of world problems, just asawareof the strong ties between Canada and the United Slates He spoke as a leader, among his peers, yet it was one of his best election speeches ever.43 minutes long with only a couple of dull spots The standing ovation may not have had all that much to do with what was said, but the way Mr Trudeau said h leads us to believe he’d have the polls in the bags if the electorate was America’s Top 100.We ll see how the folks at home respond, come June + + -+ + + + li was somewhat ironic that the seventh and final episode of Radio-Canada’s series on Duplessis began immediately after Mr Trudeau’s speech The final chapter in the stormy series, it was a day-to-day account of Mr Duplessis’ death in Schefferville while political games went on around him There’s a fantastic scene of the elderly politician, speaking in jouai so thick we can hardly follow him.as he stands on the edge of the giant open-pit Iron Ore of Canada mine, despairing because of the economic necessity which says strangers must devour the land and despoil the rivers because of Quebec’s need for employment Driving along the Quebec Labrador border, he orders bis driver t o st op t he jeep, get s out and urinal es across t he boundarv.chuckling to himself Thesymbolism is heavy, indeed, as Iron Ore executives curse him in English because their fishing trip is ruined and because ‘the old bastard had to come all the way up here from Quebec City to die There’s no wav this series could lx* translated and keep ns message, but Radio-Canada’s Duplessis is just one of the reasons why Québécois feel more strongly about their past than most Canadians

on the first ballot “Trudeau has been down playing Mr ( lark,” he said “What has Trudeau and his government done0 They played up the “Diefendol lar" about ten years ago and yet our currency has sunk

doctors and dentists apparently are not getting the message This is the conclusion of Food and Drug Adminstration officials who have been investigating X ray dangers for over a year Medical and dental patients, they found, are far too frequent 1\ exposed to potentially harmful levels of radiation Over 130 million Americaas are subjected to at least one X ray examination every year Doctors, dentists, and hospital technicians flipped the switches on their X ray machines an astounding total of 240 million times in 1977 alone, at a cost of over billion to their patients About one third of such examinations, the federal officials concluded, are totally unnecessary and cost consumers a wasted $2 billion a year The cumulative effect of too much exposure to X rays can cause cancer and birth defects The latter hazard is especially worrisome to scientists “The developing embryo is particularly sensitive to the carcinogenic effect of radiation." warns one EDA document A one-third reduction in X ray tests for pregnant women “would avoid ap proximalely 90 cases of childhood cancer annually." it concludes During their intensive probe the EDA inspectors came up with some startling statistics Thirty per cent of all new X ray equipment, they found, is defective and emits loo much radiation They checked only 10 per cent of the older equipment, but this was enough to suggest that the equipment may be leaking too much radiation Some doctors also use faulty techniques The physicians set the X ray levels toe high, and repeat one X ray test in 10.thus subjecting the patient to twice the amount of radiation he would get in a normal exam There is an underlying financial benefit, sav our sources, for some doctors who order needless X-ray tests Many doctors with their own X-ray machines recommend tests for their patients because it means more money." one official told our associate Howie Kurtz “The X-ray profits are much higher for doctors who have their own X-ray equipment ” other doctors order X-ray exams merely to protect themselves against future malpractice suits in case they fail to spot an injury This is known in the profession as “defensive medicine ” The EDA has launched a 2R-state program that will attempt to reduce the public's exposure to X-rays Federal authorities are focusing their efforts primarily on four types of X-ray tests Skull X-rays By limiting them only to those cases where they were clearly needed, officials in one Seattle hospital cut skull X rays by 40 per cent Ehest X-rays Alternative techniques have precluded the need for routine chest X-rays for tuberculosis and other ailments Nevertheless, the federal government and some businesses still require job applicants to take such examinations Dental X-rays EDA inspectors say some* dentists are “very sloppy” and shoot too many pictures of a patient's mouth during checkups Breast X rays Many such tests for cancer detection are unproductive and can Ik* eliminated, officials

amiable secretary of agriculture, has quietly resisted the pressure from farmers to bail them out with new outpourings from the federal treasury In his confidential weekly report to President Carter Bergland warned about I he danger of “overreact ion” to the farm crisis He explained that the farm bill which Congress passed last year, contains a “sell help program" that should save the hard pressed farmers Ender this new law.they can store their excess crops, thus keeping them off the market until prices rise It shouldn't be necessary, therefore, for them to go on strike and halt production in order to prevent diring down prices, he contended The farmers are caught in a cost squeeze that has forced many of them to mortgage their farms for every dollar the banks will lend They have been swarming over Capitol Hill clamoring for help But Bergland has stood up against pressure from powerful congressmen that the federal government cough up $7 million in farm aid Bergland reported to the president that he “is urging congressmen not to panic Later at a closed door Cabinet meeting, the president acknowledged that Bergland “has been under the most intense pressure for months " Carter praised his agriculture secretary for his “wise and calm handling of the farm strike situation ” RISKY REACTOR Despite ob jecimns by congressmen and scientific groups, the* Export

but that is normal”, as Rene Levesque is so fond of saying You win a few and lose a few And sometimes I think you are right for the wrong reasons - as in your editorial of March 14th.on the proposed takeover of Asbestos Corp.by the P Q government, entitled “Pig in a Poke”.Incidentally there is an historical inaccuracy in your article You refer to Asbestos Corp., somewhat sourly, as “a mining concern distinguished in Quebec history only because it was the scene of vicious strike breaking tactics 30 years ago ” Tbe truth is that there were no strike-breaking tactics, vicious or other wise, by Asbestos Corp The only violence in the Thetford Mines area during the 1949 strike was the abduction from in front of his home of Lionel Piuze.mine superintendent at Asbestos Corp.’s British-Canadian Mine, who was taken off.beaten, and thrown into a ditch twenty miles away.On another occasion dynamite was thrown at the residences of the presidents of Asbestos Corp and of Johnson’s Company.with some damage to Mr Johnson’s house but fortunately with no injuries Except for these three incidents the Thetford area was peaceful throughout the long strike Rioting to which I assume you refer did not take place at Thetford Mines at all.but at Asbestos, P Q where the Canadian Johns-Manville mine was and is located A.I.PENH ALE North llatlev Cabana portrayal unfair Editor : Radio-Canada’s series on Maurice Duplessis provokes a need to explain the role of individuals in our history and the dramatization, or dinarilv correct, in the episodes presented I must strenously object to what appears to me a deliberate underlying hostility to the Quebec Church in the series Ender the cover of a certain historic rigor, they have presented caricatured images in the personalities, and in the visibly conscious selection of incidences They ignored the Asbestos strike and the commitments made by several members of the clergy in favor of the miners Cardinal Villeneuve was present ed as an opportunist The presentation of Monseigneur Cabana, who is still living, ‘took on a shabbiness which escapes the true historical role played by this Sherbrooke Archbishop They have disfigured his moves, and did not even mention the join effort which he and the Hon J S Bourque who was outwardly ridiculed in episode six - and other personalities from the region played in the founding of the Cniversity of Sherbrooke The series misrepresented the Eastern Townships population, who made large sacrifices for the establishment of this university ’of which it is so proud The creation of the institution is credited to the obscure influence of a shady personality Briefly, the injustice to Monseigneur Cabana was so severe that l feel Radio-Canada should publicly offer its apologies In doing so.they would certainly be more respected bv the public and foremost by the people who knew the Sherbrooke archbishop and realized and appreciated the true value

Thou Me9” These two questions represent the greatest riddles of history and yet strangely, one of them is the simple solution to the other’ Why did God forsake His Son You will find the answer when you ask why mankind, represented by Saul, forsook and even persecuted God’s Son God s action, in giving Christ up to die.was the antidote to man’s Christ’s death was the remedy for man’s sin It was because of the utter unreasonableness of man’s sin that God, to save him.had to be more than reasonable.Saul had led his nation and the world in rebellion against Christ, but this is just why, in infinite love God chose him to become the great apostle of grace, telling the world that “Christ died for our sins ” Hear him tell how he had been “blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious” but how

easy time from the Nationals, who dragged last year’s playoff draw to seven games before dropping out “I think it will be a long series again and we will have to be ready for them in every game Sometimes they play badly in one game and then turn around and play very well in the next We ll have to keep our motivation high “I^aval has faster skaters than us and my key point is going to be a strong defensive game,” Delage added “We have a definite advantage in that respect because our defencemen are bigger and taller than Laval's and it gives us a better opportunity to hit the opposing

with a 35-26-11 mark Keeping those statistics in mind, the upcoming eight point series between the ri val clubs should be high scoring, fast-skating and exciting The teams are also pretty well matched

have to keep a tight grip on Glen Currie, Patrick Daley and Richard Pepin comprise the top trio and the line of Gilles Hamel, Constant Priondolo and Andre Carlos are equally deadly scorers Fan participation at the junior level is very import ant, as Delage pointed out, noting especially the regu lar season finale with the Royals.‘The players react very much with the specta tors in junior hockey,” he said, “ if the crow d is quiet, the tempo of the game will likely be calm as well If the fans are behind you and making lots of noise, the home players will work that much harder “In Laval, the fans really support their team and make it rough for visiting teams so we need much help to w in at home to counter that,” he concluded The second game in the series is in Laval on Sunday

National League are trying to save themselves time in evaluating the major league prospects of young players in their farm system with the collabora lion of sports psychologist Jack Llewellyn.33, an associate professor at Miami’s Florida International University.“He is not an evaluator of talent.” said Bob Gebhard.the Expos’ minor league field director and pitching instructor “Thai is our job.and it’s our job to get the most out of what ability is there “But by having the added advantage of knowing, or having an idea, how to handle the boy, it speeds up his progress and speeds up our coaching techniques on him.” Llewellyn had Gebhard as a student at Mankato State University at Mankato, Minn , several years ago.making enough of an im pression that Gebhard brought the professor into the Expos’ circle Llewellyn administered a 187-quest ion psychological inventory test to another 60 or so Expos farmhands this week and is to report to Jim Fanning, vice-president for player development, and other club personnel in 10 days with written assessments of the players’ mental makeup The inventory itself, developed by the Institute for Per sonality and Ability Testing of Champaign, 111 ,

Sontag North had a mighty good nand and felt that he was fully strong enough to double a second time after East had raised one diamond to two.This repeated double led to a jump to three spades by South.Not that a king and a jack is much of a hand, but rather that his five spades and four hearts looked like money from home.North should really have signed off at four spades.It was most unlikely that South would hold the king of spades and an ace and even if he did the slam would probably depend on a finesse.The cue bid didn’t excite South.He simply went to four spades and was happy when North passed.Not that he didn’t make an overtrick.There were any number of ways to play the hand and as long as South didn’t try the club tinesse and did draw trumps fairly early in life, he could ruff two diamonds and just lose to the two red aces.Aafr tlia A California reader wants to know what our opening bid is with: 3-23-B 4 J x V A Q x x ?K x x 4 A Q x x We open one notrump.We have
