Mountbatten, known to the Royal Family as Uncle Dickie, was killed Aug. 27 when a bomb exploded aboard his fishing boat in Donegal Bay off the const of the Irish republic, Two other famil¢ members died in the blast, victimes of a terror’ campaign opposing British control of Northern Ireland that has claimed at least 1,968 lives in the last 10 years, A cousin of the Queen and an uncle of Prince Pbilip, Mountbatten was related to moat of the remaining royal howes of Europe, Escorted by 2,500 ser- vicemen, the gun carriage bearing Mountbatten’s casket was pulled to West- minster — where William the Conqueror was crowned in 1066 and where 12 kings and 16 queens are buried — from St, James’s Palace.

Municipal officials called on ‘ the provincial government : Wednesday to remove what ‘they called humiliating : controls on their apending ‘ and tax collection. ’ Delegates from 168 local ‘governments passed resolutions at the opening of their three-day convention demanding removal of a * five-per-cent restriction on : municipal financing this ; year and elimination of similar mill rate imitations set in the Municipal Act, The resolutions were ap- proved without debate after George Ferguson, president of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, said the limits were a matter of urgent concern.

But Ferguson said the provincial government had given no indication’ yet of whether there will be con- trols on property taxes in 1980, Local governments have started to work on their advance budets for next year without knowing whether there will be controls placed on property taxes. Ferguson said he asked Municipal Affairs Minister Bill Vander Zalm to set out his policy in this area. The resolution calling for removal of restrictions said the limits on spending were a hardship to some municipalities and a “negative reflection on the competence of all municipal councils,” Mayor Jack Volrich of Vancouver, the union's past president, sald he did not object to general guidelines but resented compulsory limits even though he favored the five-per-cent fig- ure, Ferguson also told 900 delegates that municipal politicians are fed up with being left in the dark by the provincial government on the status of regional districts, . Vander Zalm, who was ap- pointed minister late last year, has talked about abolishing regional govern- ments and replacing them with a county system. The minister was on the stage during Ferguson's speech but UBCM executives who met with him Tuesday sald they are not optimistic any new lighit will be shed on the subject when Vander Zalm speaks to the con- vention, “In my opinion it is not satisfactory, either for the regional board members or for the people they serve, or for the people they employ, to be left in the dark without definite knowledge of what this (provincial) govern- ment intends to do,” Fer- guson said.

He joined the navy as a 13-year-old cadet and rose to be first sea lord, the top non-civilian post at the admiralty. “What a terrible end,’ but I'm afraid this Irish business will go on,” said Ivor Hunt, a private citizen wha served under Mountbatten in Burma and who came from the English countryside to pay his Jast respects. Among the-mourners was Irish Prime Minister Jack Lynch, who was seeing British Premler Margaret Thatcher later to discuss joint security against the IRA Archbishop of Canterbury Donald Coggan, ‘officiating | at the abbey -service and descrixing Mountbatten as “sorare a person," called on the mourners also to remember the 168 British soldiers killed by bomb blasts in Northern Ireland the same day Mountbatten was killed. ’ After the service at West- minster Abbey, the earl’s Nugdraped casket was taken from Loudon by train for burial in the English Luuntryside at Romsey Soviet | troops WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the U.S. Senate foreign relations committee said Wednesday the hew strategic arms limitation treaty with Moscow will not be ratified as long as Soviet troops remain in Cuba. “There is no likelihood whatever the Senate would - Patify the SALT treaty as ~~long as Russian’ combat~ troops remain statloned in Cuba,” said Senator Frank Church (Dem.
