LONDON (CP)
President Carter is reported
to have received strong
support Tuesday as he
called on NATO leaders to
join the United States in
strengthening the Atlantic
alliance against the growing
Communist offensive in
Europe.

Carter later returned to
Washington saying the U.S.
has recovered its faith in the
alliance.

The leaders agreed they
should make a study of
progress toward greater
military effectiveness and
meet again in Washington
next year to consider
reports from their defence
ministers.

But while some leaders
echoed Carter’s views about

BALLYMENA, Northern
Ireland (AP) — Rev. Ian
Paisley, leader of a faltering
Protestant strike in Nor-
thern Ireland that began
May 2, was detained by
police Tuesday. when he
refused to order a tractor
barricade dismantled.

The preacher-politician, a .

member of the British
Parliament, was held for
two hours along with
another strike leader, Er-
nest Baird, and 10 of their
supporters.

Police said they will be
charged with the minor
offence of obstructing a
highway.

Paisley told cheering
crowds of supporters in
Ballymena, his home town
northeast of Belfast: “‘The
strike goes on. it’s a fight to
the finish.’’

Then he drove off to whip
up support for the stoppage
and man another barricade.

Trudeau also called on
NATO leaders to adopt a
more informal atmosphere

where something more than
mere speech-reading can be
accomplished. Canadian
officials said that three
leaders threw away their
texts and spoke off the cuff.

Computers to guard
new 200-mile limit

--TORONTO (CP) — The
federal fisheries and en-
vironment department has
decided to use a computer-
based contro] system called
FLASH to watch over
Canada’s new 200-mile off-
shore fishing limit, a
department official says.

L. J, Cowley, director-
general of the department’s
Newfoundland region, told
the Fisheries Council of
Canada the system receives
data from each vessel as it
enters the Canadian zone
and all sightings and in-
spections of the vessels.

At the end of each day, the
system gives ‘the en-
forcement authorities an up-
to-date record of all the
vessels active in the zone.

Cowley said the move to
the 200-mile limit was
prompted by depletion of
fish stocks, From peak
catches of all species to-
talling 2.6 million metric
tons in 1968-69, catches by
all countries declined to 1.8
million tons in 1975.

“At present, most of the
species that have
traditionally supported the
commercial fisheries of the
Canadian Atlantic coast are

in a very depressed condi-
tion” and are not expected
to improve substantiaily
until] at least 1980-31, he said.

By developing adequate
surveillance and control of
the new limit and by ex-
panding fisheries research,
Canada might promote their
return, he said.

In Atlantic waters, sur-
face surveillance will be
doubled to 1,650 operational
sea days. Aerial sur-
veillance will be more than
doubled to 3,750 flying
hours.

H. D. Johnston, the
department's Halifax-hased
directorgeneral i the
Maritimes region, said the
Atlantic fishery, which
employed 50,000 and had an
annual output of $560 mil-
lion, was hit by infiation and
a jump in fuel costs,
“eliminating any hope of
profitability in the short
term.”

W. E. Johnson of the
department’s Pacific region
in Vancouver said extension
to the 200-mile limit opens
the possibility of doubling
the value of annual landings
from the present $200-
million level.

Mystery impurity

_ OTTAWA (CP) — Federal

indicate an as yet uniden-

‘may be the culprit.

But the federal findings do
not mean a speedy return of
the sugar substitute to the
market, cautioned Dr. Alex
Morrison, head of the
federal health protection
branch,
‘Tuesday.

_**Phe manufacturers
‘would have to find out what
‘that impurity is, study
whether it is commercially
feasible to remove it from
saccharin, and then prove
that saccharin minus the

impurity is safe— which’

would take at least four or
five years of animal studies

Morrison said a_ three-
year, $300,000 federal study
which led to the saccharin
ban gave a clean bill of

saccharin impurity called

‘seem fait accompli

OTTAWA (CP) —
Announcement of new oil
prices to go into effect late
this summer will come
before June 15, even if the
provinces fail to reach
agreement at price
negotiations today, Energy
Minister Alastair Gillespie

says.

Gillespie, and the 10
provincial ministers resume
their talks amid predictions
both in Ottawa and the
provinces that chances of
any agreement are slim.

If that happens, Ottawa
will negotiate privately with

the producing provinces of
Alberta aah Manitoba and’
impose a er price on the
rest of ther country. Any
failure in those talks would
force Ottawa to act
unilaterally ._ ‘

The federal government
still favors an increase of
about $2 a barrel on the
current wellhead price of
$9.75 a barrel effective July
1, energy sources say. That
would increase the price of a
gallon of gasoline by seven
cents and heating oil by 6.2
cents, likely around July 1.

tankers to Kitimat

Jahour said the convention
is “‘not our type of function
and the chamber of com-
merce cruise is not our
concern. We've heard about
it (the blockade) but we
have not heen asked to
participate.”

While TAASK is a
member of the Kilimat Oil
Coalition, ils participation
in the demonstration is not
required because many
froups are orienting their

activities more towards the
formal hearings of the
Thompson Inquiry Com-
mission, established by
Ottawa to study the oilport
proposal.

When the Princess
Patricia docks at Kitimat,
there will be a land
demonstration sponsored by
the Prince Rupert Labour
Council. . Two busloads of
Prince Rupert unionists will
be making the trip to
Kitimat. Among the rally
speakers will be UFAWU
president Jack Nicholl and
representatives of Green-
peace and SPEC.

Labour council
spokesman Mills says the
blockade and rally will

attempt “to show we're
against the pipeline and port
and the environmental
destruction they would
bring to the north coast.”

The fishermen are
worried that oil spills may
wipe out the north coast
fishery on which they base
their livelihoods. “If the
government is willing to
corrupt our environment by
building a pipeline and
letting supertankers in
dangerous areas, then
iubour wil! have to stop the
project." Mails said,

unions may refuse to wurk
on the project because of its

fects, Mills cites the case in —

the Maritimes where work
was lost for many years
following the grounding of
-the oil tanker Arrow.

“The fishing industry may
be out of work now for one or
two months at a time butif a
disaster hits, like the one on
the east coast, we could be
out for five or six years.

“We don’t want work for a

Although Quebec
separatism is not an official
topic of debate in five
byelections to be held in the

s dominated the speeches
of Prime Minister Trudeau
each time he has visited the
ridings recently.

Most Parti Quebeccis
support in the riding is found
in the rural regions
surrounding the twin cities
of Rouyn-Noranda, although
the provincial urban riding

tained by Social Credit MNA
