Bellemare of Johnson and Photo - David \ ineber# Yvon Brochu (far right» of Richmond also attended the press conference held in Asbestos vesterdav.B\ DAVID VINKBFRG of The Record ASBESTOS Union Nationale leader Rodrigue Biron has proposed the provincial government levy a four per cent tax on all minerals and fibres mined but not processed in Quebec-Speaking at a press conference here last night.Biron said his suggestion is a more rational approach, compared to nationalizing mines such as the Asbestos Corporation Biron said Quebec would receive $13 million annually from the tax He said 1.3 million tons of unprocessed minerals are exported each year, at an average value of $250 a ton A four-per-cent tax is $10 per ton, or $13 million The tax revenues could be reinvested into mineral processing plants, said Biron Quebec’s borrowing of $250 million on Wall Street and the accompanying $25 million annual interest is unnecessary the UN chief added “We don't need to pay $250 million for a mine that is going to be poorly administered’’ he said “They (Quebec» are acquiring a problem, a real lemon,” Biron added, predicting that Asbestos Corp will suffer the same fate as Sidbec and Tricofil 70 agents quit Sun Life losing sal MONTREAL — Sun Life Assurance Co of Canada has lost about 70 agents to competitors and about 30 per cent of its Quebec market since January when the company announced it was moving its head office to Toronto, according to a survey of the company’s competitors and figures supplied by the Quebec government's superintendent of insurance Pierre Boileau, recently-appointed head of Sun Life’s new ‘‘Quebec Division,” confirmed there had been losses but would not give any details.He said in an interview published Wednesday that the political furore over the head office move, combined with a weak economy, resulted in a loss of new business in individual policies But the company said it has not detected any wave of cancellations of policies already in force, and that group insurance has not been affected “We are certainly losing young sales representatives but we are keeping our career people, barring a few exceptions,” Boileau said Sun Life policyholders voted overwhelmingly on April 27 to ratify the move of the head office to Toronto.One competitor who declined to be identified was quoted by La Presse as saying that when Sun Life agents meet with customer resistance to writing cheques to Sun Life they place new business with other companies without the company’s knowledge •EASIER TO COMPETE’ Another said it ‘‘was becoming less difficult to compete with Sun Life.I would even go further—life is becoming more difficult for all English-speaking companies ‘‘The issue has awakened a feeling of solidarity among people who would rather see their money remain here.” Most observers agree that Quebec Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau's accusations that Sun Life has underinvested in Quebec by $422 million have disturbed the French-speaking market Quebec insurance agents find it difficult to represent Sun Life, said a spokesman for the Assurance Vie-Desjardins, explaining why agents have been applying for jobs with other companies Paul-Emile Burelle, sales manager for L’Industrielle Cie d’Assurance sur la Vie, said he discouraged one such agent from switching because he was making too much money working for Sun Life “We also discouraged about 10 other agents,” Burelle said Record Highlights U DCS BUDGET Université de Sherbrooke faces a drop in the student population growth and cost-cutting all around in its

d’Assurance Vie said his company had “discouraged about 20 agents.” But other firms are hiring, although all competitors interviewed denied they were deliberately raiding the Quebec branches of Sun Life Andre Ferragne.sales manager of Assurance-Vie-Desjardins, has hired one unit manager and three representatives to open a Sept-Iles branch, but he says it is a coincidence they came from the Sun Life branch there “In our program, w'e had provided for the hiring of two representatives to open a branch n Sept-Iles.” Ferragne said “The ads appeared at the start of Sun Life’s difficulties.We afterwards hired a Sun Life agent in Lac St Jean ” Other companies went to personnel agencies and wound up with former Sun Life agents.“French-speaking, homegrown companies are profiting the most from the situation,” the spokesman for La I^aurentienne said “Quebec companies have been growing more rapidly during the last few years and that growth has become more marked since last January.” Latest escape sparks new tune OTTAWA ( CP) — A new theme song has been suggested for prisoners looking for a change from the humdrum existence of life behind bars—Take Me Out To The Ball Game Conservative MP Allan Lawrence told the Commons Wednesday that in view of the escape of a convicted murderer who was attending Monday night’s baseball game in Montreal, particular emphasis should be laid on the line that goes “I won’t care if I ever get back Lawrence related how Albert Marinello.a convicted murderer who had escaped on all three occasions in the past when granted a pass, did it again as he and four other prisoners, accompanied by one guard, watched Montreal Expos defeat Chicago Cubs Marinello.due for a parole hearing next week, was at the game as part of program that prepares prisoners for parole when he slipped away into the crowd at Olympic Stadium I^awrence asked Solicitor-General Jean Jacques Blais to explain the escape of Marinello who has been described by Quebec police as dangerous I^awrence then asked Blais if he was aware that one of Marinello’s previous escapes occurred on Mother's Day in 1974 “when he took the occasion to convert a pass home into a home run ” The Conservative MP asked if there was any sports program in the federal prison system that teaches prisoners that rather than three strikes and you’re out.three outs and then you take a walk Blais said a judgment has to be made about people up for parole but conceded that “undoubtedly the application that was to be heard next week is going to be negativeh affected by Mr Marinello’s absence ” Quebec s handling of Bill 52.the province’s miner disability program, also came under attack In March, the Quebec government began deducting Bill 52 payments from another provincial disability plan, an aspect of the legislation not previousU applied Incapacitated miners were receiving 90 per cent of their salary under Bill 52's provisions Union Nationale MNA for Richmond Yvon Brochu said the government gave no warning on tht' benefit deductions and he asked “where is the logic9" On the sales tax issue.Biron said Federal Finance minister Jean Chretien’s $H5 tax rebate plan is a mistake ‘“He can’t buy the conscience ol Quebecers with $85” he said After the press conference Biron addressed 150 people in the Salle le Benevole in Asbestos He said the Union Nationale has a clear stand on the constitutional issues while the other provincial parties waver Speaking about anglophones, Biron said “They are Quebecers as I am a Quebecer, they are Canadians as I am a Canadian ” He concluded by saying “We wa.it to fight together to build a country that will be more just and more equitable for all ” The speech capped off a busy day for Biron lie spent the entire day in the Richmond Asbestos

would lead to an East-West confrontation in Africa Trudeau maintained at a news conference that Canada has not been invited to a Paris meeting of Western powers which has been called by France for next Monday to discuss Soviet and Cuban intervention in Africa “We probably wouldn’t go even if we were invited.” the prime minister said He added that Canada does not want to gel involved in any “African adventures ” Foreign powers should keep out of Africa and “the Africans should attempt to solve their problems themselves,” he said He suggested Cuban or any other military intervention will not be welcomed in the long run by the Africans Earlier, in Paris.Pierre Hunt, spokesman for French President Valery Giscard d’Estamg.announced that six Western countries, in eluding Canada, would at tend the Monday conference Trudeau said the Paris reports were erroneous results of confusion The prime minister also said at the conclusion of the NATO summit that he is pleased with the alliance’s decisions but feels the final communique is too cautious on proposals to get progress at Vienna talks on reducing conventional East West forces in Europe Trudeau said the communique included several statements on disarmament after he pressed the issue at the meeting He said NATO should be willing to make some major new proposals to ^ reduce troops in Europe in an effort to stimulate talks with the Soviet bloc in Vienna That would test Soviet willingness to pursue disarmament The communique indicated this should depend on the Soviet response to other Western suggestions on reducing conventional forces on both sides, he said The Western allies also ap proved a long-term defence program which calls for increased spending to im prove NATO forces over the next 15 years Trudeau said Canada is currently meeting the spending commitments required under the defence program but this increased Canadian spending is planned only to 1981 Canada, like other Western countries, would have to consider its spending beyond that time Trudeau’s comments on Africa came after a day of confusion about whether Canada would attend the Paris meeting, arranged after discussions last Friday between President Carter and Giscard d’Estaing Trudeau said at the news conference there was a mix-up in Paris after Giscard d’Estaing and Carter decided on the meeting “We aren’t invited and we aren’t going,” he said “T think external powers should keep out of Africa,” he said, adding, however, that he supported French and Belgian intervention to rescue whites who were being massacred in Zaire’s southern province of Shaba by Katangan rebels “They had no alternative but to go and save people who were being massacred,” Trudeau said rights abroad a PC government would first enact freedom of-inf or mat ion legislation, rewrite the Official Secrets Act which permits secret trials and eliminate such procedures as writs of assistance which permit police searches without warrents.He said a PC government would assert human liberties every opportunity it gets, rely on quiet diplomacy only in some individual cases and actively support ap point ment of a UN commissioner of human rights While a joint motion by Clark and John Diefenbaker, former Conservative prime minister, cited the Soviet Union only, Clark also named South Africa, Chile, Cuba and Argentina as human rights violators in his speech attacking the government for saying much but doing little Clark also said Conservatives would be more realistic about Soviet motives than the Liberals, whom he described as naive t 2 - THE

Court has quashed a challenge by an Italian company over the authority of the government s Atomic Energy Control Board to set uranium export prices Agip S P A took the board to court over its refusal to issue export permits for uranium oxide, a nuclear fuel, unless the price was more than $42 a pound Agip had purchased uranium from Madawaska Mines Ltd at $30.50 a pound In a decision released Tuesday, the court said it did not hold jurisdiction since the board in this case was not exercising a judicial function Petroleum products prices climb OTTAWA (CP) — The anti-inflation board has cleared the way for three petroleum products suppliers to once more raise their prices The board said Tuesday it will not intervene to stop U S controlled Shell Canada Ltd of Toronto from raising its prices by two-tenths of one cent a gallon on refinery sales and by four-tenths of one cent for all other bulk sales Federated Cooperatives Ltd of Saskatoon plans to increase its prices by one-tenth of one cent a gallon on its wholesale prices Canadian Fuel Marketers Ltd of Don Mills, Ont will increase its prices by six-tenths of one cent a gallon for wholesale and retail prices.Sneezing powders banned OTTAWA (CP) — The importing, sale and advertisement of certain sneezing powders which contain a cancer-causing element has been banned in Canada, it was announced Tuesday.Powders containing the chemical 3,3’-dimethoxvbenzidine have been banned under the Hazardous Products Act, the consumer affairs department said in a news release.The ban covers any substance used to induce sneezing which contains the chemical or its salts, whether or not the product is called sneezing powder The release warned consumers to take extreme precautions in disposing of any such sneezing powder they already own to prevent inhalation of the chemical Methanol fuel feasible OTTAWA (CP) — Production of methanol as a fuel is economically feasible and could provide a major new industry in the 1980s.says a consultant’s report prepared for the federal government Environment Minister Len Marchand, who released the report Tuesday, said the idea looks promising and should be studied closely by government and industry “The methanol study does not constitute federal government policy, but I feel this report contains an idea that should be given the widest possible debate as we plan for future energy needs ” With imported oil prices of between $15 and $20 a barrel, it is technically possible to consider use of natural gas and renewable resources such as waste wood to consider production of three billion gallons of methanol by the mid 1980s.the report says Imported oil currently costs $15.50 a barrel Automotive plants in the works OTTAWA (CP) — Trade Minister Jack Horner said Tuesday he hopes to be able to announce in June the establishment of up to three or four new automotive industry plants Homer s remarks came in the Commons shortly after a United Auto Workers official said the Canadian automotive industry could be obsolete within seven or eight years unless major new investments are made by auto manufacturers Replying to questions from Ed Broadbent.the New Democratic Party leader and MP for the auto industry city of Oshawa.Horner said he hopes to have written confirmation of the plants to be constructed when he makes the announcement The government has recently been

Grits' Arab boycott stance OTTAW A (CP) Industry Minister Jack Horner warned Tuesday any company complying with the Arab boycott of Israel campaign will be named by ihe government But the refused to panv lhat minister then name one com the government knows did comply with the boycott last year Horner was giving some clarification in the govern ment’s program designed to combat the Arab and any other international com mercial boycott Under government policy any company that complies with such boycott prohibitions as trading with Israel is denied the sub stantial federal assistance offered to Canadian foreign traders and businessmen But up until now it has re fused to name companies which have complied with the boycott and thus lost government assistance Now those companies will be name*d Horner was interviewed after tabling a report on the application of the govern ment antiboycott policy, covering the period Aug 1.1977.to Jan 31, 1978 XGREED TO BOYCOTT That report mentioned a company which agreed to a general boycott clause in a $25 million contract and had government services withdrawn last August Later it renegotiated the contract and government services were restored This was the only company found by the government to have contravened Canada s boycott policy in the period A spokesman for the Jewish community condemned the report He said it is evidence of the government’s weak-kneed ap proach to the troublesome boycott question The report was ambiguous and lacked specific commitments Premiers' budgets repeat rhetoric Canada's 10 provincial governments appear to be having limited success following through on the general economic com mitments they made at the summit conference in Ottawa last F’ebruary As finance ministers unveiled their budgets this spring, they repeated earlier promises about keeping government spending under control and freeing private industry to get on with the job of economic recovery.Yet their specific budget proposals underline the difficulty of converting rhetoric to action An analysis by The Canadian Press reveals the following trends in provincial economic policy: —Manitoba is the only province with radical spending restraints Current and capital spending by most other governments is in line with the predicted increase in C’anada’s gross national product —Government employees appear to be bearing the brunt of austerity programs All provinces have plans to limit the size of the public service or to restrain increases in wages and fringe benefits.—Eight provinces have introduced tax cuts that should have some effect in stimulating private business activity, but most are modest in nature —Half of the provinces plan to reduce deficits Both Alberta and Saskatchewan should have sizable surpluses and British Columbia proposes a balanced budget MANITOBA LEADS WAY At their February meeting in Ottawa, the first ministers agreed that growth in government spending should be less than growth in the economy as a whole While most provinces claim success in working toward this end.Manitoba stands out.Its estimates of current spending and outlays for non-revenue-producing capital projects for the 1978-1979 fiscal year are up only 1.2 per cent from the estimate of actual expenditures last year Roughly comparable figures for the other provinces range from an increase of 7 8 per cent in Ontario to 15.9 per cent in Saskatchewan Most increases are between 10 and 12 per cent.The federal government anticipates an increase in the gross national product— the value of all goods and services produced in Canada—of about 11 percent this year All these figures show that public spending will continue to account for a large part of total spending in Canada this year A minimum of $1 of every $3 will be spent by governments This does not include spending by Crown corporations Few areas of spending are immune from inflation News Briefs Budworm bill tabled FREDERICTON (CP) — A bill introduced by the New Brunswick government Wednesday would oblige it to “take all reasonable steps” to comply with requests from land owners who don’t want their property sprayed with anti-budworm insecticide But the bill, introduced as a replacement for another that was withdrawn last week, would not allow land owners to take the government to court for failing to comply with their requests—unless they alleged negligence was involved A land owner would be specifically prohibited from suing for trespassing or nuisance Union leaders attend march MONTREAL (CP) — Four transit union leaders who had been scheduled to start jail terms Wednesday got a 24-hour reprieve because they say nobody told them which jail to report to.Instead, the quartet joined 300 demonstrators outside the main entrance to the downtown headquarters of Hvdro-Quebec, where Premier Rene Levesque’s Montreal office is located The four were sentenced last week by Chief Justice Jules Deschenes of Quebec Superior Court, who ruled they encouraged the rank-and-file of the city transit maintenance union to ignore a back-to-work injunction during an illegal, 43-day strike in 1974 The union is an affilate of the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU).L'Evangeline negotiations resume MONCTON, N B (CP) — Members of the Syndicat des Imprimeurs Acadiens voted Wednesday to reject a contract offer from L’Evangeline, a French-language daily newspaper here, and a union spokesman says negotiations will resume today Normand Leger said in an interview Wednesday that the union guaranteed that members would stay on the job to publish today’s paper The union is in a legal position to strike The paper did not publish on three days last month after union members were locked out for one day and refused to return until

News Briefs Helms: CIA involved with Mafia Smallwood doubts referendum Canadian dollar down MONTREAL (CP) — An end-of-the-month demand for American funds pushed the Canadian dollar down a quarter-of-a-cent in early trading on New York money markets Wednesday before recovering later in the day The dollar slipped to a low of 89 05 U S cents only two hours after the markets opened It rallied in the afternoon, closing at 89 17 U S cents, down 13-100 from Tuesday’s close of 89 30 U S cents Traders said the morning plunge was caused by a last-minute demand by Canadian debtors to acquire American dollars to settle accounts in the United States due today The Canadian dollar, which had been below 90 U S cents since February, broke that barrier for two days earlier this month before it began its current dive Income tax info 'passed along' OTTAWA (CP) — RCMP Sgt Tony Kosij of Winnipeg, head of a seven man unit with access to confidential income tax information, testified Wednesday he would pass along such data to almost any Mountie seeking it in a criminal case Kosij and his detail are among 75 Mounties designated as “authorized persons” under the Income Tax Act and thus able to get such information Under a 1972 agreement with the national revenue department, they are supposed to use it to attack organized criminals through income tax prosecutions However, Kosij said tax data was given to criminal investigators in the drug, customs and excise and other RCMP sections on the theory that a tax benefit would result Missile installed in Zaire UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Prime Minister Lopo do Nascimentoof Angola said Wednesday a missile base has been installed in Zaire near the Angolan border that “constitutes a grave threat to the security of all African states and to the lives of the people of our continent.” Nascimento told the UN General Assembly’s special session on disarmament that the signing of an agreement between Zaire and the West German firm Orbital Transport und Raketen AG is “clear evidence that the neocolonialist policy of certain circles is closely bound up with instigating the arms race ” He said the base is “the barrel of a gun aimed at the heart of my country.” The Stuttgart based Orbital says the rockets it is testing in Zaire are a private venture and are designed to carry satellites into space for commercial purposes NEW YORK (Reuter) - Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director Richard Helms said in a television interview broadcast Wednesday night that he was misled into letting the CIA get involved with the Mafia in plotting against Fidel Castro Helms, in the interview with British television per sonality David Frost, also denied that the CIA’s now well-publicized assassination plots against the Cuban leader ever got out of the laboratory planning stage In the interview, broadcast by the NBC, he also said he had never tried to blackmail former president Richard Nixon into making him ambassador to Iran and claimed that his successor at the CIA, William Colby, and former president Gerald Ford weakened the agency The interview marked Helms’s first public answers to allegations of agency misdeeds during his years as the head of the CIA HALIFAX (CP) — Joey Smallwood, former New foundland premier, said Wednesday he seriously doubts that the Parti Québécois will go through with its promised referendum on separation “I’ve sometimes heard of politicians who made promises they didn’t keep,” Smallwood said while speaking on national unity to the Canadian Grocery Distributors Institute “They come out with ingenious explanations and Rene Levesque is one of the most ingenious-minded politicians in Canada ” Smallwood said he sometimes wonders if Prime Minister Trudeau’s strategy may not be to allow Levesque an option out of a referendum by amending the British North America Act Levesque may want to take advantage of this if he sees disaster staring him in the face, he said Townships’ Crier COURTESY OF Au Bon Marché KIRKDALE The Kirkdale A C W will hold their June Tea and Sale, Wed , June 7, 3:00 -
