Natives told to go to Queen OTTAWA (CP) — Indian chiefs across the country have been told to begin preparing now to carry their constitutional fight to Queen Elizabeth in London next May, The National Indian Brotherhood, in a letter to: the nation’s 510 chiefs, says it is committed to the trip ‘and it is important that a. ‘maximum ‘number-pf chiefs: go along. Brotherliood ° of- ’ ficials hope thal 300 or more chiefs chiefs ean go. The chiefs will ask’ the. Queen nol (o approve Prime Minister Trudeau's plan for patriating the Canadian constitution. They also plan to call on the British prime minister, the foreign sec- retary and other legislators. Approval for the trip was given by the brotherhood's assembly in Fredericton last month. - The brotherhood is upset by constitutional. reform proposals placed before Parliament in June, It says the proposals ignore nalive rights and Indian special status, and that patriation. should be veloed until Indian sovereignty is recognized, Indian Affairs Minister Hugh Faulkner has said the visit of the chiefs will Third plane theories said in SAN DIEGO, Calif. (CP) — A US. government in- vestigator said Wednesday it now appears remote that a third plane confused the pilot of a jetliner seconds befure his plane collided wilh a single-engined Cessna. Philip Hogues, a member of the National Transport Safety Board, said he believes afler listening to tape recurdings of con- versations between the jel- liner and ground control the third plane was probably tov far away to be involved in the tragic accident. Charles Farrar, a flight in- structor abuard the third plane, said Wednesday his twin-engined Cessna was more ihan eight kilometres over the Pacific Ocean practising instrument ap- proach landings at the time of the accident. Hogues said it remains a mystery what the jetliner pilot meant when he told the airpurl control lower: “They've passed." He said the twin-engined Cessna was about 13 kilometres west of the area where the Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 jetliner and the single-engined Cessna 172 collided on ap- proach to Lindbergh Field here Monday morning. At least 150 persons were killed, including all “135 persons aboard the jet, both persons in the small plane and 13 persons on the ground, making it the worst air disaster in United States history. Investigators said the death toll among those on the ground could go higher as coroner's deputies continued trying to identify bodies. Many victims were mutilated and deputies sought dental charts for identification. “Tt may be days before we know exactly how many ac- tually did die while going about their business," said Warren Chambers, a deputy San Diego county coroner. Investigators still are trying to determine the fate of a mother and her child who were believed in the North Park neighborhood where the planes crashed, The woman's estranged husband reported them missing. “We think a mother and her child may also have been killed as they drove to a baby sitter’s home,” said Chambers. “We think we've found their car in the debris,” Hogue had said Tuesday that taped conversations indicated that Lindbergh traffic controllers told the FIREWORKS PREDICTED -. Cost sharing debate Saturday The apparent schism between Kitimat council, led by Mayor George Thom and District of Terrace representatives over regional cast “sharing should erupt this Saturday when the regional district council meets. At the August meeting of the Regional Hospital District Board, a resolution was passed which asked the administration to prepare a bylaw to transfer the capital service costs of the yet-to-be- built health centre from the reglonal district to the District of Terrace, and if the annual debt repayment exceeds the annual grant in lleu of faxes for the health centre, the amount of the excess be shared by district. the regional hospital Aldermen Talstra and Jolliffe along with Director Chen-Wing opposed the mation. During his recent visit here Minister of Health Bob McCtelland noted that hospitals do not pay property taxes nor did he anticipate that the health unit would pay taxes. He made no com- mitment as fo any grant In lieu of taxes which the city does receive on some government bulldings. At the moment, the district health unit is located in the ground floor of the municipal bulle wig. provide ‘live theatre” .but will not do much to solve Indian problems.

One ..bevihechood . official: bald Wedneddsy a small delegation will visit London In’ December to lay - out arrangements for the trip. Meanwhile, brotherhood president Noel Starblanket has repealed his threat to crash federal-provincial constitutional conferences. “This is to notify you that the democratically elected leaders of the Indian nations -of this country intend to act as full participants In con- Stitutional conferences which deal with amend- ments to the Canadian constitution,” Starblanket says in a letter to Trudeau. The brotherhood says that since Indians are a founding peoplein Canada they should have a seat at federal- provincial conferences. The federal government has turned down previous requests for a seat, doubt PSA pilot, Ji McFeron, that a amall @ was also making an approach to the nick eron told the tower: 4 ey've passed,”’ logue said Tuesday. Al that ime Hogue indicated the tower temark referred lo the twin- engined Cessna and he Suggested McFeron may have been unaware that there was actually another small plane in the area—the Cessna with which his plane © collided about five kilometres from Lindbergh. But when the twin-engined Cessna was located, It was determined the aircraft wae about 13 kilometres west. Under current legislation the regional district is required to pay 20 per cent of the cost of the health unit capital expense (the bullding and fixtures). Total cost of the unit, to be constructed In Terrace, is estimated at approximately $300,000, of which Kitimat will, under the present cost- sharing arrangement, assume close fo 60 per cent. Should the proposed bylaw pass, Terrace would have to accept the entire 20 per cent, or $460,000. Terrace representatives on the regional council are determined that this shall not hap- pen. re eee en Fe me ae TE PO Me eg oe eae ae. 1 AE eSpace eee a eS a re nesrai gener: ep ry 27 ter,
