WINNIPEG (CP) — A controversial power plan endorsed a decade ago by a Progressive Conservative government was _ ripped apart Monday at an inquiry into Manitoba Hydro.

Hydro chairman Leonard Bateman testified that the plan for a “high-level’’ diversion of the Churchill River into the lower Nelson River was I3ter shown to be impractical.

Under cross-examination by inquiry counsel Richard Scott, Bateman gaid Hydro decided in 1968 to proceed with the plan even though little study had been made of ita enviromental impact.

Scott described the plan as" ‘a disaster that would likely have flooded several nor- ‘thern Manitoba communities ‘and caused widespread ‘damage to resources and wildlife.

Bateman sald Scott seemed to be overstating the case, but he agreed that.he didn't realize the enormous problema that would have

arisen.

“From the vantage polnt of 1968 and 1969, I was convinced that it would have ‘been workable.”

The high-level diversion plan was proposed by Hydro in April, 1968, a5 a way of securing additional water for generating plants to be built along the lower -Nelson River.

The Conservative government of Premier Walter Weir endorsed the ae arto the legal tlon e ure in the spring of 1069.

The bill died when the legislature was dissolved for a general election, but the uproar it created helped the New Democratic Party win an upset victory. -

Later that same year, the NDP scaled down the diversion to a “low-level”

plan and decided touse Lake tgag

innipeg as a reservoir for storing any additional water needed

Monday’s session was the first since the inquiry began public hearings last month to deal at any length with the power policies of the former

Conservative government. |

Most of the testimony to date has dealt with Hydro’s alleged shortcomings under the NDP.

Arabs seek oil firm

ST, JOHN'S, Nfld, (CP) — An idle oil refinery at Came by Chance, Nild., will be back in production by late 1930 if First Arablan Corp. S.A. of Luxenbourg succeeds - in obtaining ownership, the company’s chief executive officer said Monday.

Roger Tamraz, chairman of First Arabian, said the company is awaiting decisions by the Newfoun- dland Supreme Court and Canada’s Foreign = In- vestment Review Agency (FIRA) on its bid to pur- chase the bankrupt 100,000- barrel-aday plant on Placentia Bay, 160 kilometres west £ St. John’s.

Tamraz told a news conference that receivers Peat, Marwick and Co, of Toronto and the British government's Expapt Credits Guarantee Depart: ment (ECGD), backer of the refinery’s first mortgagé, of $110 million, have accepted First Arablan's letter’ of intent. at
