y.

her ttan in 1974 and fuel

crease more than eight per
cent."

CP Air also said there will
be some lower fares, with

reduced for mid-week travel

The company said 4 new
35-per-cent discount ex-

Manning said, in ex-
Plaining revisions to
Canadian charter class fares
to provide for seasonal
levels, that there is a need to
even out traffic patterns and
lower rates are planned
when passenger loads
traditionally are light.

Judges
inquiry

quashed

British Columbia govern-
ment will not initiate an
inquiry into the cir-
cumstances which lead to
the resignation of John
Farris as chief justice of the
B.C. Court of Appeal,
Attorney-General Garde
Gardom said Wednesday.

Gardom said the matter 1s
a federal responsibility and
itis up to Farris to reveal the
reasons for his resignation if
he wishes to so,

Farris submitted his
resignation last week in the
wake of an investigation into
his affairs by the Judicial
Council of Canada.

The inveatigation began
after Farris’ name was
found in a notebook obtained
by Vancouver vice squad
detectives during an in-
vestigation of a city apart-
ment that police suspected
was being operated as a
bawdy house,

The council dropped its
investigation following the
judge's resignation.

know that will not'be popular
with some people but that is
what we are doing,” said
Paul Johnston, a Kitimat-
Terrace and District Labour
Council supported candidate
in the municipal election.

Both he and his coun-
terpart, Marguerite
Clarkson, said they will act
as independent voices on
council, They spoke to a
small greup at a “town hall
meeting’’ in the Terrace
Hotel on Tuesday.

“There is a view that the
mayor is the only veice un
council but we will provide
another voice,’ . said
Clarkson.

They want to ensure that
local services are main-
tained and expanded and
thal laxpayers have a
greater local voice in
decisions made, both
provincially and federally,
that affect them.

They want a revised tax
base which would include
heavier taxes on those who
can pay and lesser taxes on
homeowners. They say they
will — investigate the
possibility of land-banking
for residential construction
and the development of
cooperative housing.

Services in Terrace should
equal, or surpass, services in
neighboring communities
and major -urban centres,
they say. Municipal council
can serve as a catalyst for
people services and council
should actively encourage
the development of better
day care, alcohol and drug
counselling, legal aid ser-

’ yiees, and a home for bat-

tered wives, they said.

Johnston said he is amazed
council is allowed to plan for
the future of the community
behind closed doors. He and
Clarkson support a com-
prehensive publicly debated
plan for the future.

They said that both senior
levels of government should
become directly involved in
the industrial growth of
Terrace and municipal
government can provide
input towards that direction.

Johnston said he has heard
figures that there are only
seven to 10 years of trees lett
and Terrace is still basically
a one resource Lown. He said
secondary industry, like
production of aluminum
products, a distillery or
brewery, or furniture
making factory should be
started. ‘

He said coal trains will

Peace talks
meet crisis

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat said
Wednesday the peace-trealy
talks between Egypt and
Israel are in a state of
serious crisis and he raised
the possibility of a suspen-
sion to allow the two coun-
tries time lo consider their
positions,

Informed Egyptian
sources said their govern-
ment has new proposals
designed to avoid a total
deadlock in the Washington
talks while still holding to
Egypt's primary demands.

In Jerusalem, the [sraeli
cabinet cut short its review
of the Israeli-Egyptian
negotiations toawait thenew
proposals. .

In Washington, the White
House’ said U.S. President
Carter met with Israeli
Defence Minister Ezer
Weizman on Tuesday to ask
Israel tq wait until Egypt's
new position is clear before
making any decisions.

Sadat, speaking to
university professors and
students in Ismailia, a Suez
Canal town, said:

“We have gone a long way
at the Washington talks and
‘Pave achieved 90 per cent of
‘the road. |

“Now we are al a serious
crisis and if we can avoid it
in order to achieve the
remaining 10 per cent by
suspending the talks for a
while to allow the parties to
think againand then resume,
sobeit.” . . ,

‘Sadat did not elaborate on
the nature of the crisis, nor
did he refer to the reported
fresh formulation of Egypt's
demands. However, in-
formed sources in Cairo
said: “The word crisis can
be underlined. It is very
real."

The Washington
negotiations have been
snarled by Egyptian

pressure to tie the tran-
sformation of the Israeli-
occupied Jordanian West
Bank and Gaza Strip into an
autonomous Palestinian
region to the development of
peaceful relations between
Egypt and Israel.

Israel wants the peace
treaty tosland on its own and
has opposed setting any
timetable on the develop-
ments in the West Hank or
Gaza Strip.

There was some confusion
in Western diplomatic cir-
cles in Cairo as to the weight
of the new Egyptian
proposals, particularly over
a report that Sadat is
demanding the return of the
Gaza Slrip. Egyp! adminis-
tered the territory from 1948
to 1967, when it was captured
by Israel.

Sadat, harshly criticized
by some Arab states for
ignoring the Palestinians,
has insisted thal a link be
made. Because of Israel's
rejection of Egyptian
demands thus far, the
sources said, Sadat is trying
to deal with Gaza first,
leaving the West Bank for
later.

“It is less emotional ...
than the West Hank," one

source said. “EL would be
easier to implement steps in
Gaza than in the West

Bank.”

Hearing finds
no conspiracy
in King death

WASHINGTON ¢AP) —
The House of Represen-
tatives assassinations
committee said Wednesday
it could find no evidence that
James Earl Ray was ever
paid to assassinate civil
rights leader Martin Luther
King Jr.

Ray probably financed his
flight from the assassination
scene in Memphis, Tenn.
with cash obtained in ar

Illinois bank robbery,
committee investigators
have concluded.

“Hf there is a conspiracy,
then there is no evidence that
he . (Ray) received
payment," said Robert
Blakey, the committee's
chief counsel.

Following the King
assassination. on, April 4,
1968, Ray fled to Atlanta,
took a bus te Detroit, crossed
into Canada, flew to

England, went on to Por-.

tugal, then returned to
London and was arrested
June 8, 1963. ;

Those who believe there
was a conspiracy to kill King
have always cited the lack of
any apparent source of in-
come which Ray could have
used to pay travel and other
expenses, including phony
documentation used by Ray
to mask his identity. .

In testimony Wednesday,
committee investigator
Edward Evans recounted a
detailed examination of
Ray’s finances from the time
of his escape from prison to
his capture at London’s
Heathrow Airport.

Evans estimated that Ray
spent $9,607.94, and took in
$1,238.54 from known sources
during the period. He had
$144 in his pocket when
arrested.

Refugee ship
is forced out

PORT KLANG (CP) ~—
Despite pressure from the
United States and a personal
appeal from the United
Nations high commissioner
for refugees, the Malaysian
government decided Wed-
nesday to force a freighter
packed with 2,500 Viet-
namese, mostly ethnic
Chinese, to leave its
territorial waters.

In Paris, Deputy Foreign
Minister Olivier Stirn told
the national assembly that
France is willing to accept
all the refugees aboard the
Hai Hong who “express a
wish to settle in France.”

The French government
has a long-standing policy to

admit refugees from the
former French colonies of
Vietnam, Laos and Cam-
bodia, Stirn said.

In QOltawa, immigration
officials said Canada is
willing to consider admitting
refugees who have relatives
in Canada or those with
promise-of-visa letters
handed out prior to the
Communist! takeover in Viet-
nam several years uge.

Canada might also take
others, depending on
whether they meet selection
standards, but was awaiting
results of an investigation
into the plight of the refugees
by the UN commission,
officials said.
