TORONTO (CP) — Denis

“T can honestly tell you

Harvey said of the drama.

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

tinued negotiations with

whether Podgorny had

cases, Central Committee
communiques often say a
leading figure has ‘left in

_ vital? Gauthier

NEW WESTMINSTER,
B.C, (CP) — The director of
La Federation des Fran-
cophones Hors Quebec said
Saturday that French-

Canadians outside Quebec °

the English way of life at the
rate of 27 per cent a year.

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

racism, that we are too

we are extremists,

“It is racism to ask for
