Doctor tells ailing Is THE HERALD, Wednesday May 25, 1977, PAGE 3 raeli PM | to slow down his hectic pace TEL AVIV (AP) — A doctor advised on Tuesday that ailing Menahem Begin slow down, and Israelis wondered whether the Likud bloc leader will be well enough to take over as lisrael’s prime minister, “It’s too early to tell— ~we'll have to wait and see” ‘whether he'll be up to the job, said Dr. Shlomo Laniado. “I said he must slow down, I would advise anybody working at Mr. Begin’s pace to slow down.” Begin, 63, was in the cardiac section of Ichiloy Hospital, where he was admiited Sunday after feeling ill. Doctors said he did not have a new heart attack and would go home after a few days of rest and observation. The right-wing party leader was in hospital for three weeks in March after suffering a heart attack during the election cam- paign. The Likud won the May 17 election, taking 43 seats in the [20-seat Knesset, or parliament. Begin’s aides said they are’sure he will be able to function as prime minister once a coalition is formed, _ probably in midJune. Party leaders, meanwhile, con- tinued negotiations with smaller parties to form the coalition, Ezer Weizman_ and Simcha Ehrlich met with representatives of the Democratic Movement for Change (DMC), which won 14 seats in its first run for election, Likud’ and DMC Negotiators said they Top Soviet man dropped MOSCOW (AP) President Nikolai Podgorny, one of the three most powerful men in the Soviet Union, was dropped without ex- planation Tuesday from the ruling council of the Soviet Communist party, Moscow radio and . television did not say whether the 74-year-old Podgorny will retain the presidency, a largely ceremoni: t, but ob- server's said the position will be virtually impossible to hold without membership in the party’s Politburo, ' here was aiso no sign . whether Podgorny had retired voluntarily. In other cases, Central Committee communiques often say a leading figure has ‘left in connection with retirement, ill health or “at his own request.’ Tuesday’s communique said the Communist party's Central Committee Had “freed Comrade Podgorny . from the duties of a member of the. Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist party ‘of the Soviet Union.” ~ : Theoretically, the presidency is bestowed and taken away by the Supreme Soviet, the country’s parliament, but its standing executive committee can act without approval from the full house.

Hubert Gauthier told a meeting of La Federation s des Franco-Colombiens, representing French- speaking residents of British Columbia, that if French language and culture disappear, Canada may cease to exist. - . At the current rate of assimilation, he said, it will soon “be the English who speak French among emselves. “At the rate things are going, our grandchildren, if not our children, will no longer be able to speak French and might -not already know how.’’ The federation represents about 8,000 of the 110,000 French-speaking residents of the province. “We want simply that it be recognized, once and for all, that we are here, that we have historic rights that go All types of Roping, pleasure, Saddles. 534-4852 Saddle & Tack AUCTION SALE Sat, May 20 - 1 p.m. Thornhill Community Contre professional, pleasure & child riders.

He said that when French- Canadians do demand equality “we are accused of racism, that we are too demanding, that we are not being reasonable and that we are extremists, “It is racism to ask for services for which you and I pay taxes?
