Salt accord unlikely

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. and the Soviet Union re-
sumed Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) talks
Thursday and U.S. State Secre Cyrus Vance said it is
a ”" the two sides will be unable to reach an agreement
to replace the expiring SALT I treaty.

“The main issues are still unresolved,” Vance told
reporters after a five-hour meeting with Soviet Foreign
Mininster Andrei Gromyko at the state department.

The expiration date of SALT I is Oct. 3. It has raised legal
and political questions about what will happen if the two
countries fail to reach a new SALT agreement.

“I believe it is possible for us to state an intention with re-
spect to what we shall do in the event there is an expiration
on Oct. 3,”” Vance said.

Officials have said the two sides probably will agree in-
formally to extend SALT I, which imposes limits on land-
based and submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic
missiles,

Fighting subside

BEAUFORT CASTLE, Lebanon (AP) — Fighting sub-
sided in southern Lebanon Thursday, but Palestinian
guerrillas and their leftist Moslem allies said they were
‘convinced only the calm of the Jewish Yom Kippur holiday
caused the lull,

While the Moslems rested during the reduced shelling and
gunfire, the Palestinian commander of this hilltop redoubt

: pointed to what hesaid were Israeli tanks entrenched inside
Lebanese territory.

Some seattered shelling occurred, and the Lebanese gov-
ernment said that Israeli tanks made a fresh crossing into
Lebanon at Kfar Kila, one mile from the border. The
Lebanese government, in a rare statement that supported
Palestinian claims, publicly accused Israel two days ago of

| VICTORIA (CP) — The man charged in connection with
"last weekend’s hostage-taking incident at Wilkinson Road
~ jail made a brief but noisy appearance in provincial court
“<on Wednesday.
Judge Fred Green had to have Roger Lindal, 38, of Vic-
‘Storia, removed from court when he refused to stop talking.
.. Lindal was charged by Saanich police with unlawful con-
finement after the incident involving a prison guard, and
“was to have the charge formally read to him in court on
» Wednesday.
= However, Lindal didn’t allow proceedings to begin,
_ stating that he was not able to make contact with crown
prosecutors or Saanich police in an attempt to have at-
“tempted murder charges laid against two prison guards as
2a result of an incident at the institution and a half
“years ago.

: Green asked Lindal to listen and, when the accused man
“refused, warned him that he would be removed from court
_if he persisted.
- “Wouldn’t bother me,” Lindal replied,

Green then remanded Lindal until today, when he was ex-
pected to make another court appearance to have the
‘charge read against him.
. Lindal and three others were in prison awaiting
“- preliminary hearing on an armed robbery trial.

VANCOUVER, B.C. CP-
The Wyeyerhaeuser pulp

Thuradey in a dispute with
the p, Paper. and
Woodworkers of Canada.

About 45 maintenance
workers walked off the job
Wednesday because of
disciplinary acction taken

against them by the com-

pany.
A company spokesman
said forty-seven main-
tenacne workers and three
shops stweards were given
two-day suspensions
because they were holding a
meeting during working
hours and refused to return
to work.

The workers, who were to
serve the suspension on a
rotating basis, set up picket
lines Thursday morning,
preventing about 225
maintenance workersfrom
reporting to work.

Andy Lappa, presidnet of
local 10 of the PPWC, said

attended by over
200workers. He said the
shop stewards told the
members to go back to
work, which 70 per cent did.

“The stewards stayed
around with the remaining 5
because that’s their job,”
Lapp said.

Meanwhile,
Weyerhaeuser said, it is
planning a shut down

ause of a high pulp in-
ventory and to perfrom
maintenance.

Pat Kelly, Weyerhaeuser
public affairs manager, said

e did not know when the
closure would take place ot
how long it would last.

A world surplus of pulp
caused the company to shut
down for about three weeks
in August.

Nanaimo

NANAIMO, B.C. (CP) —
The Pulp, Paper and
Woodworkers of Canada
shut down the Harmac pulp
mill Thursday after the
company suspended 400
maintenance workers for
their part in a work stop-

page last week.

Union pickets apeared at
the mill gates Wednesday
evening after the company
had announced that the 400
workers would be given two
day suspensions without

pay.

Both the midnight shift
and the morning shift
Thursday were turned back,
affecting about 1,200
workers.

Harmac industrial
relations manager Brian
Smith said production in
both the pulp mill and the

wool rooms was halted
Thursday morning and
management staff kept

services operating.

Union officials would not
comment on the latest in a
series of walkouts but a full
membership meeting was
expected to be held Thur-
sday evening.

Smith said the suspen-
sions resulted from what the
company calied an illegal
strike, when the main-
tenance workers walked off
the job over the suspension
of two members of the yard
crew.

He said the susupensions
were not designed to be

unitive or a form of
.narassment.

week that it submitted the high bid of $1,010 for the
remains of a wind generating plant at ‘Masset, B.C,,
installed by Hydro.

The Crown corporation began a pilot project of wind
generation in 1975 with the installation of two windmill

power plants, one at Masset and the other on Carson
ountain near Clinton, B.C. in the Cariboo.

Total capital cost of the program was estimated at
$32,000 but it ended up costing $66,841 because it ran into
many problems. Neither windmill ever produced power.

The Clinton windmill had its blades destroyed by
vandals and the Masset windmill was damaged in a
storm.

Hydro said last year that the windmills had proved to
be unreliable and economically unfeasible when com-
pared with other forms of power generation.

However, the Islands Protection Committee believes it
can succeed where Hydro failed.

Committee co-chairman Vic Bell said Wednesday that
the group’s bid of $1,010 was the highest of eight sub-
mitted to Hydro for purchase of the Masset windmill,
including a tower, a voltage regulator and a converter.
