Hinds had placed himself in
an impossible position by
deciding to admit testimony
given Monday by Viola Kiess
and helt-year-old daughter
Paula about conversations
they had with Rodgers.

Vilvang said the judge
allowed the evidence on the
basis of what he alleged was

prosecutor Sam Hanson.

In dismissing the ap-
plication, Judge Hinds said
he was not satlafied he was
wrong in admitting the

evidence, but said that his
ruling that the evidence was
admissible was no indication
ofthe weight he will give it in
his final judgment.

Kelss had testified that
Rodgers told her in the fall of
1976 thathe was interested in
Paula, who was then 12 years
ald. She testified he sald he
would “‘like to have Paula
but that if he was, he'd have
to have her soon because she
was growing very full and he
liked to have his girls very
petite and small."

Some pilots -

speaking French

TORONTO (CP) — Some
pilots flying large com-
mercial jetliners over
Quebec have started
speaking with ground control
in French, says Roger
Demers, president of the
Association des Gens de l’Air
du Quebec... :

A federal inquiry into
whether bilingual air traffic

-gontrol is safe will report iri.
September and until then the
transport ministry . has
prohibited the use of French
for air control on planes
flying under federal in-
strument flight rules.

Officially, the use of
French in the air in Canada
is restricted to small planes
that use visual flight rules at
six Quebec airports,

However, officials say
French now is being used
frequently for instrument
flight rules control at the
Quebec City airport by pilots
flying for Quebecair, a re-
gional carrier, and for the
Quebee government. . :

Walter McLeish, director-

general of civil aeronautics
for the ministry, said he is
satisfied that the
unauthorized .usé of French
is not causing any safety
problems.

McLeish did ‘not know

. Whether pilots for‘any other

airlines had used French on
flights under instrument
flight rules control, but said
he would not be surprised if
more airlines were involved.
’ The transport ministry has
not ordered the use of
French stopped because of a
legal appeal by the Gens de
lAir against the ‘federal
prohibition, said McLeish.

Ken Maley, president. of
the Canadian Alr Line Pilots’
Association, who led the
campaign against French in
the air in 1976, would not
comment on whether * the
unauthorized bilingualism
now in effect over Quebec is

‘causing any problems.

He said he wants to avoid
the emotionalism which
pervaded the bilingualism
issue in 1976.

| Shortage of

TORONTO (CP) — While
the nimber of organ tran-
aplants performed in Canada
has doubled since’ 1973, a
shortage of persons willing
to donate kidneys, eyes and.
other vital organs when they
die is causing long waits for
patients, awaiting ‘“tran-
splants, says the director of
the transplant program at
Toronto Western Hospital. _

“There are 1,500 people in
Canada waiting for tran-
planta, with about 800 new
patients. showing up each
year; and there are only
about 450 transplanta done
each year,” George deVeber
said in a recent Interview.

“There is no shortage of
doctors to do the operations

and no shortage of hospital

facilities. The major shor-
tage is donors,” |

“But I think it ls a matter

Dr. Michael Robinette,
chairman of the Metro
Organ Retrieval and Ex-
change program operated by
six hospitals in Toronto and
Hamilton, said it would take
40 or 70 more donations a
month to solve all the
problems of the Canadian
Natlonal Institute for the
