Salmon demand nets prices

SEATTLE (AP) — Big
catches from Alaska’s
biggest Bristo] Bay salmon
runs in many years and a
heavy demand in Japan
mean high earnings for
fishermen.

Harold Thoreen of Seattle
said he and his two partners
caught nearly $165,000 worth
of fish in less than three
weeks. ;

“There was 24-hour fishing
just straight through,’’
Thoreen said. “Once you put
you gillnet in the water, it
would just explode with the
fish hitting it.

LONDON (AP) — Gold
tapped $300 U.S. an ounce for
the first time ever Wed-
nesday and the United States
dollar dropped on foreign
exchanges amid uncertainty

about President Carter's

energy program and the
future of his cabinet.

The dollar, which slumped
earlier in the week on
traders’ skepticism over the
U.S. president's energy-
saving measures, was driven
lower by overnight news that
all the Carter cabinet
members had offered their
resignations.

Gold, which 18 months ago
sold for .around $170 an
gunce, closed in Zurich,

Itzerland, at $301.125 an
ounce — a giant $5 leap from
Tuesday's close, which was
itself a record for Europe's
main bullion market.

London was not far behind,
closing at $300.75 in hectic
trading, compared with
‘Tuesday's $298.375. In New
York gold closed even higher
at $302.40, up $6.30,

CANADA WANTS
60,000 REFUGEES

“ OFTAWA (CP) —The gov-

ernment expressed op-

timism. Wednesday that,

~ becauge of a new program it

is .etarting immediately,
Canada will be fi

| home for
60,000 Indochinese refugees’
by the end of 1980.

About 50,000 of those will
have come this: year and
next. About 10,000. arrived
between 1975 and 1979.

’ External Affairs Minister

migration Minister Ron

Atkey and Miss MacDonald
expressed confidence there
will be no flagging of
Canadian will,

Atkey said the 50,000 figure
was not necessarily a max- -
imum figure. The govern-
ment would review the
program when the figure
‘was reached.

It algo would decide in the
fall of 1981 whether to con-
tinue it. Meanwhile, nelther
the policy of taki, refugees
from other parts of the world
nor the immigration policy
would suffer, ;

Atkey and Miss Macdonald .
gave no figures of private
sponsorship to hack up their
**realistic’’ and “
legitimate" estimate of
50,000 refugees.

The immigration depart-
ment said that up to the end
of June, S&B groups had
agreed to sponsor 1,604
refugees. But that did not
take into account
such as the Canadian Jewish
Congress which says it will’
sponsor 1,000 refugees and

such cities as Ottawa which

says it will accept 4,000,

Atkey had no cost
estimates for on Rane
program, saying the cabis
Feat wanted to get it moving.

’ But he said the government
should be able to finance
mast of it through available
immigration department
funding.

Miss MacDonald and
Atkey gave several reasons
for the new program. There
was a need for Canadians in
and oul of government to
work together to deal with
the great human tragedy of
Southeast Asia,

Mids MacDonald said she

will convene a meeting of
several countries to discuss
such things as how Vietnam
and others can be made to
show more humaal-
tarlanism, The question of
withholding of ald to Viet-
nam would be discussed,

She called the expuistons
from Vietnam as well as
Cambodia and Laos in-
tolerable. .

“Canada will urge that the
countries of exodus assume
their responsibilities to treat
their citizens in a humane
ninner and umend those
policies causing the exodus," -
she suid in » statement.

She would insist that those
