PAGE 12, THE HERALD, Tuesday, July 18, 1978 a There's no clowning around when it comes to salmon barbecue time! One of the highlights of the annual VANCOUVER SEA FESTIVAL is the nightly salmon barbecue at English Bay - this year from Sly 2 to ‘July 50. Every year, tourists and residents go through thousands and thousands of pounds of world-famous .C. salmon. Barn burning left Cobb ‘sick at heart OTTAWA (CP) — A smail group of Mounties who formed the force's anti- terrorist squad in Montreal in the early 19703 wanted to take more drastic action against members of the Front. de Liberation du Quebec, the former squad leader said Monday in ’ testimony before a royal commission into RCMP wrongdoing. “If isey had had carte blanche, God knows what would have happened,”’ Chief Supt. Donald Cobb told the McDonald commission. Cobb identified former staff sergeant Donald Mc- Cleary as one of the Mounties who favored proposals such as arranging to put terrorists: into “‘in- criminating situations.” «- The RCMP officer said he was glad only two questionable incidents arose while he was head of the squad, set up after terrorist activity occurred in Mon- trea]. Its job was to prevent any further terrorist out- breaks. Asked by McDonald to identify the two questionable incidents, Cobb said they were the burning of a barn at Ste. Anne de Ja Rochelle in May, 1972, and the theft of dynamite at about the same time. COBB DISTRESSED He said he had not been in- formed of the two incidents and added that when an RCMP investigation brought them to his attention “I was sick at heart ... profoundly distressed,’’ Cobb said that as com- mander of the squad, he accepted moral respon- sibility for the two acts, Hesaid he couldn't explain why his men had committed theacts, the men would have to say why. Cobb explained that bureaucratic delays in getting permission for field operations had been getting serious. He favored giving field comimanders the right to approve actions against terroris! groups. . He deseribed such actions ~ as on the edge of the law and in the spirit, if not the letter of the law. BURN BARN He' said that despite his opposition to more drastic 7 action, McCleary and others took -action on their own, resulting in the barn-burning and theit of dynamite, He said, however, that he never felt squad members were out of control. He said he thought matters: im- proved when McCleary was taken off the squad and given other duties. Cobb said the policy of allowing field commanders to make independent decisions could only work when the men under them were loyal. . Hesald later disclosure of somesquad activities was an example of what he con sidered disloyal acts. He said he favored a return to decision-making in Ottawa rather than in the field when such disclosure were possible. _ The hearings continue. Rights group | support prisoners OTTAWA (CP) — Civil liberties and human rights groups said today they will hold public demonstrations Aug, 10 in support of a one- day hunger strike among federal prisoners. The groups said in a state- ment after a weekend meeting that a demon- stration will be held on Parliament Hill. Others are planned outside prisons near Montreal, Kingston, Ont., and New Westminster, B.C. Meeting here = were delegates from civil liberties groups in Montreal, Ottawa and Kingston, the Canadian Federation of Civil Liberties and Human Rights Associations, the Law Union of Ontario, the Moraterium Committee on Prison Con- struction and the John Howard Society. Delegates said federal plans to spend $400 million on 21 new prisons by 1984 are a waste of public funds and such construction should be stopped, They said conditions within ‘“‘special handling units’ at Millhaven In- stitute, mear Kingston, and the Correctional Develop- ment Centre near Montreal are deplorable and akin to {hose condemned as “cruel and unusual” by a 1975 Federal Court of Canada judgment on sclitary con- finement conditions at the British Columbia peniten- tiary. Special concern was ex- pressedat the plight of three men in the special handling unit at Millhaven. They were sald by other prisoners to be “in urgent need of psychiatric and medical attention, which they are not recelving.” The special units are “prisons within prisons" for long-term prisoners, Longway fromnormal after Que. strikes SEPT-ILES, Que. (CP) — Operaticn: ai the Iron Ore Co, of Canada resumed Monday even though one holdout group of strikers was preventing the company railway from moving ore to port facilities here. While miners and mill ‘workers in this town, in Labrador City, Nild,, and in Schefferville. Que., were returning to work, ‘the company indicated it would be days, maybe even weeks, before everything is back to normal. “We can't use everybody right away,” vice-president J.B. Gallighan said in an interview. "It takes five days to get the furnaces going from a cold start.” - Rose freed from prison 8 years after kidnapping — MONTREAL (LP) — acques Rose embraced . J family and friends Monday as he emerged on parole from an eight-year prison term as an accessory in the kidnapping of Quebec labor minister Pierre Laporte during Canada’s traumatic October Crisis of 1070. Laporte was murdered Oct. 17, 1970, seven days after being kidnapped from his home by the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ). Looking robust and tan- ned, Rose strolled casually from a doorway at the maximum-security Laval Institute ontoa sun-irenched parking lot after serving four years and two months of the eight-year sentence handed down in July, 1973, Rose, 31, served the time for helping his elder brother Paul, who is serving two concurrent life sentences for Laporte’s kidnap and murder, avoid arrest. Paul Rose is not eligible for parole until December, 1980, He wag transferred to Archambault Institute last week after four months in solitary confinement at Laval for what a prison offi- cial described as “being a troublemaker.” PAROLE FOR LORTIE On Sunday, parole was granted to Bernard Lortle, sentenced in November, 1971 to 20 years and 11 months for his part in the Laporte. kidnapping. Lortie had been out on regular day leave since January. The freed Rose, bearded and his red hair tied in a pony-tail, dropped a box of documents before em- bracing his mother, Rosa Rose, his father, JeanPaul, and several friends. He told reporters he was going to work for a com- mittee whose aim is to free . Pail and the other FLQ prisoners. Asked if his political views had changed, he said, ‘No, not at all. I’m still a good independentist." - “All the population” was hurt by the the federal War Measures Act of 1970, Rose - said, adding he was treated “like all the other prisoners during his term at the penitentiary. - . The federal government invoked .emergency powers under the War Measures Act on Oct. 16, 1970, after the Quebec and. Montreal governments said a‘state of apprehended insurrection existed in the province. The arrests af some 450 people in more than 3,000 palice'raids followed;. -. : OUT. SOONER? , Rose’s lawyer and friend, Robert Lemieux, who repre- sented him throughout his many trials, said bitterly that Rose was released 18 months after being eligible for parole. "They didn't release him sooner because he ‘was an FLQ prigoner.’’ He would have been released on .mandatory supervision, an. automatic release for good behavior, in . December, 1978, Doug Parkinson, a National Parole Board spokesman, said Rose was sald Rose had several assur- ances of employment, a factor Im the board's decision."
