strike, the total quantity of
copper produced was 274.6
million kiiograms..

Chabor said that with a
small increase in the in-

pensation plans last year for
occupational accidents and
illnesses that could have
been prevented, J.H. Currie,
chairman of the new Cana-
dian Centre for Occupational
Health and Safety, said
Thursday.

"It is a horrifying pic-
ture,” said Currie, as
members of the Commons
labor committee studied a
chart that showed more than
11% million working days
were lost last year because
of industrial accidents and
diseases. That is sig:

last year due to strikes and’

ment, business and labor

favor in a number of:
places," Curry said,

“We will publish and be

Prison reform a problem

OTTAWA (CP) _
SolicitorGeneral Jean-
Jacques Blais and Correc-
tional Commissioner Donald
Yeomans said Thuraday It
would be difficult to reform
the federal prison system
along lines proposed by a
special Commons sub-
committee 18 montha ago.

In effect the two rejected
the major pi Is of a
subcommittee that sald the
system was in a state of
crisis and needed immediate |
reform. .

It proposed that the.
system be divorced from the
rivil service and run along
the lines of the RCMP, with
professional career training
for employees, higher
wages, earlier retirement,
and more discipline.

OXFORD, England (AP)
— Richard Nixon, showered
with jeers and applause,
protesters’ eggs and British
courtesy, told a student
group in this historic
university town Thursday he
has “‘not retired from life’*
and will continue to speak
out on public affairs. ;

"T feel as long as I have
any breath in me I will speak
up for what I believe,” the
former president told aa

audience of 800 in the hall of

the Oxford Union debating
society. .

Nixon said that as
president of the United
States he had authorized
wirelaps and break-ins to
root cut a group of Palestin-
ian terrorists in the U.S, |

He arrived and departed
from the building through a
battery of 500 noisy, egg-
tossing protesters, both

students. During his 20-

MINEHEAD, England
(Reuter) Cross-
examination of former
male model Norman

allegations of a
homosexual affair with
Liberal politician Jeremy

Thursday when Scott said
he could prove his story
through a medical exam-
ination of Thorpe.

Scott told Sir David
Napley, one of Thorpe’s
lawyers, that warts under
Thorpe’s arms would

air.

Scott suggested that
Thorpe be taken with
witnesses to another
room, and "T will tell you
something I know about
him which I could not.
know if I had not slept
with him."

The lawyer said ~he
wauld like to take up the
suggestion of a personal
examination and Scott
said: “It is just that
Thorpe, without his
clothes on, has warts or
nodules under his arm. I
ara not sure which arm, it
could be both. I'm not
sure.” . .

He also said that
Thorpe’s spinal columo

As Sir David questioned
Scott about his unhappy
childhood, illness,
frustration and self-pity,
Scott, 30, denied that he
escaped into fantasy.

But he admitted that

relationship with Thorpe

robbery

WASHINGTON (AP) —
The only reason for robbing
a bank is to steal money,
right? Wrong, saya a
peychiatrist who examined
more than 200 bank robbers
and found thelr motives
ranged from proving their.
manhood to embarrassing a
domineering wife.

“The act of committing a |

‘bank robbery often had very’
little, if any, relationship to
the theft of money for per-
sonal profit,” Dr. Donald
Johnston concluded after a
two-year study of federal
prisoners convicted of
robbing

nks.

He found many - bank
robbers to be ‘passive and
dependent,
ignorant, often physically
unattractive, and met in
frequently grassly
psychotic.” ‘

Johnston, an assistant —

sy Tite
peychiatry at ve

of Colorado Medical Centre
in Denver, described his
findings in a telephone inter-
view and in an article in the
current issue of the
American Journal — of
Psychiatry :

Few
studied, Johnston said, were
professional criminals in it
for the money. Most were
deeply troubled men who
saw bank robbery as a way
of avercoming a lifelong
sense of failure.

For example, a Man
identified only as Mr. C,
robbed a bank twice to
punish his domineering wife.
At51, Mr, C was fat, “had ill-
fitting dentures’ and felt he
was a failure at eve:
Unablete stand up to his wife

tly, he would “fiddle
with chemicals
nt, making small ex-
plosions: which would
frighten her,” Johnston
related

Finally, in a fit of rage at
his wife, Mr. C “robbed a
m ood branch bank
with a jar of Wesson Oil,’

Released from prison eight
years later, Mr, C remarried
the same woman and soon
