Turning to other matters. in the throne speech, Bennett told reporters that his government will pursue the commitments made in the March speech. One was a vow to eliminate discrimination based on sex, marital status or geographical residence in setting the auto insurance rates, Bennett said the govern- ment intends to require that all insurance companies operating in the province — not just the Crown-owned Insurance Corp. of B.C, — DC-l Os GRO UNDED “bald; “that | end discriminatory prac- tices, Driving skills have ‘nothing fo do with sex, age or where the driver | lives,.. ha inten The proposal has ‘drawn strong protests from private - auto insurers‘ who maintain that some statistical generalities must be drawn to set rates fairly.

It was also seen ag reaffirming the premier's denial of election campaign warnings from the labor movement and some quarters of the NDF that the government planned to ~ hatch right-to-work legislation which would destroy the union movement, Bodies. found after ship burns THUNDER BAY, Ont. * (CP) — The bodies of two crew members of the Car- tlercliffe Hall were found Wednesday after the fire- stricken lake freighter was pulled into harbor.

The agency also said it will stop ali foreign-operated DC- 10s from flying in U.S. air- space. caused widespread disruption to air travel and was followed by similar orders grounding DC-10s ina number of other countries. The only two DC-108 in The unvrecedented move Canada, bath operated by Wardalr, were automatically grounded by the FAA order. . Laker Airways, which operates regular charter flights out of Toronto and the cut-price Skytrain service between London and New York and Les Angeles, grounded its fleet of six DC- iés on the orders of the British Civil Aviation Authority. FAA administrator Langhorne Bond said the planes will remain on the ground until McDonnell Douglas Corp, —_man- ufactirer of the DC- 10, proves the aircraft is safe. He sald that will take a week and perhaps longer. “It's going to be some time,” Bond told a news conference, ‘I can't make a guess on just how long. The grounding will remain in effect until the problem Is found, analysed and cured.” It was the fourth time Ina week that all or some of the U.S.-owned DC-10s had been grounded in the aftermath of the May 25 crash of A DC-10 in Chicago. The American Airllnes plane crashed and exploded after an engine tore of the wing during takeoff, Killing 275 persons in the worst aviation disaster In U.S. history, The FAA grounded the jetliners Wednesday after fresh hairline cracks were found In the engine mounts of two of the big jetliner that had been inspected and cleared during one of the earlier groundings. The cracks were in the same area where a 25-centimetre crack was discovered on the American. Airlines plane which went down in Chicago. The new grounding came in the form of anemergency suspension of the DC-10's design certificate, which Is required before the FAA certifles that an aircraft type is airworthy. FAA spokesman Dennis Feldman said that while the order covers the design of the entire plane, the engine mounting area la “the only area we're concerned with at the moment.” The otder said FAA ad: - ministrator Langhorne Bond “has reason to believe the .: the Mode] DC-10 series | aircraft may not meet the uirementa (for a cer- lificate) in that it may not be of proper design, material, specification, construction and performance for safe . operation, or meet the minimum ‘standards, rulea and regulations prescribed."
