Bad record cost us sale By BOB DOUGLAS ‘OTTAWA (CP) - Canada's. spotty record in buil a nuclear reactor in Argentina was a major reason for rejecting a §1.5 billion Canadian bid to sell a second plant to the South American country, says the bead of Argentina’s atomic energy commission, In an 16-page statement recelved by the external affairs department Wed- nesday, RearAdmiral Carlos Castro Madero said rising coats, delays and contract changes In construction of the firat reactor influenced Argentina’s decision. West German-Swiss bid — costing $500 million more than Canada’s — won the contract, Castro Madero said other factors influenced his commission's recom- mendations, but did not specify agama’ nuclear Heeaid Argentina accepts safeguards which will be negotiated with the European governments involved and applied by the Laer any, Atomic nergy Agency. , Canada has a chance to win future nuclear contracts, particularly if the firat Canadian plant.is finished qui and problems are ironed out, he said. In Ottawa, Liberal deputy leader Allan MacEachen blamed the contract loss on - government indecision on safeguards and “imprudent remarks ata critical time” oy External Affairs Minister Flora MacDonald. - Miss MacDonald denied her commenta ‘on nuclear safeguards at the United Na: tions last week led to bility of tougher safeguards, torpedoing the Argentine _ But Miss MacDonald eaid ina Toronto interview the Argentine ambassador in Ottawa told her that neither the safeguards Issue nor her comments on alleged human rights violations in Argen- tina were responsible for the reactor decision. Castro Madero told journalists the German- Swiss proposal was chosen partly because Argentina would not have to rely on a single foreign supplier, And it would stimulate com- petition for future reactors. His statement, translated and sent to external affaira, also said Argentine industry will be able to supply more goods and services for the German reactor than for the Canadian plant. 7 The Germans have already built a small reactor for Argentina, But they plan a different and much bigger. reactor this tlme, one they have never built before. The Germans built their amaller reactor in six years, with, no change in price, an efficient management and an excellent operational record, he said, The German‘ group had been co-operative, agreeing to Increase the reactor’s power after the contract guarantee expired, “AECL agreed in 1979 to mupply one Candu for $920 oa ion by January, 1980, he “Sucetesive contract renegotiations and changes’ te. previous obligations had to accepted’to vent stoppage of work und to dp, it Is thought the term tion ‘date of the works wil be Ww March, 1982, arid that cost. approximately §1 billlon, added to the interest ’ gherges for, each year of investment."” These’ Candu problems ‘contributed to the com- mission's decision to pick the German proposal over Canada’s this tlme, he said. Jury exonerates cop in shooting TORONTO (CP) — Almoat 14 months after Andrew (Buddy) Evans was killed by: Litan Toronto Police” Metro) fol a tavern brawl, a coroner's jury has exonerated the officer who shot him. After deliberating for more than 17 hours, the four- member jury decided Wednesday that Constable John Clark, 25, ‘‘had reasonable and probable grounds to fire the gun in protection of hia,own life.’ Clark shotand killed Evans after the 2+-year-old black man struck him on the ‘head with a billy club, - The coroner's inquest heard 11 weeka of testimony and waa the longest to in- veatigate a single death in Ontario history. A spokesman for the Ontario coroner's office said the inquest will cost about $200,000. . “The billy in the hand of Buddy Evans; a very angry man in close proxim! to Constable Clark, must be construed as being a very dangerous weapon capable of causing grievous bodily harm or even death,” the jury said. Although the jury's lon carries no legal weight, Clark had tears in hia eyes when Coroner Margaret Milton read the finding to a silent hearing Clark refused to comment and left the room im- mediately after the ruling was handed down, but the policeman’s lawyer, Austin Cooper later said: ‘‘Con- stable Clark ia delighted with the finding, he told me he feels completely exonerated.” “He has lived under a cloud for the past year, but now he can walk the streets with his head beld high. He. just wants to be a policeman again.” Doris Evans, the dead man’s mother, Flew home to Halifax on Wednesda before the jury returned wi its deciston. She had threatened Tuesday to lay a murder charge against Clark — a move that would have aborted the hearing — but she did not appear before a justice of the peace Weitinesday. The Ontario Coroner's Act says & coroner must discharay the jury and close the inquest once charges are lald in connection with the death. Jack Pinkofaky, the con- troversial lawyer representing the Evans family, was also absent. He. has been in the coronary unit of a Toronto hospital since he complained of chest pains Saturday. Among the jury’s recommendations were that: . »=Qutside police forces should inveatigate pollce ngs. —Independent bureaus should be set up to inquire - into complaints of police wrongdoing. . ' —Policemen involved in shootings should have legal counsel present when giving statementa, .—At leaat four race- relations committees should be formed in Toronto to mediate between police and ethnic communities, Two recommendations suggested by Crown At- torney Robert McGee— that | coroners be given power to cite lawyers for contempt and to issue bench warrants for witnesses — were also listed Senators okay pipe SEATTLE (AP) — A lelter has been kent to President Carter and Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus by 35 senators, endorsing 4 proposal by Northern Tler peline Co. to pump oil from Port Angeles, Wash., to Clear , Minn.
