SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) — Migrating salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River got a welcome push Monday and Tuesday nights when all five dams on the river's midpoint opened gates to aid the fish’s move- ment downstream.

Howard Raymond of the National Marine Fisheries Service said he was “very encouraged” with the results of the emergency plan to aid fish runs ham- pered by low water levels.

An artificial spring freshet was created when water was released by federal reservoirs up- stream, but it took an order from the Federal Power Commission to get the Chelan, Douglas and Grant county public utilit districts to open’ the spi gates on the five dams.

The PUDs argued that every drop of water in. the

At night, when they are ready to pass a dam, water is spilled so that not all of them have to pass through the dam's turbines, a fatal journey for most.

Later the fish will be pushed past The Dalles and Bonneville dams and out to Sea.

Lieut.-Col. Pierre Dupuis told a news conference the shell that exploded at the nearby Valcartier base was placed in a truck used to gather training refuse.

He said the warning had been issued Monday night.

Food prices, particularly for fruit and vegetables and for coffee, will be the main influences behind an ex-

ted increase of about six- nths of one per cent in the con umer price index, government economists gay.

The index is the most widely used measure of inflation. ©

That would mean the inflation rate is rising at an annual rate of about 7.4 per cent.

The inflation rate began climbing last December, in- creasing by a 5.8 per-cent annual rate from 5.6 per cent in November. It has continued a steady rise since—to 6.1 per cent in January, 6.7 per cent in February and to 7.4.per cent March.

Today’s bad news on inflation comes only two

days after the release of :

monthly unemployment figures that showed the jobless rate at its worst since Statistics Canada started recording the inform tion in 1953.

The federal agency said 8.3 per cent of the work force was out of jobs in April. There were a total of 914,000 jobless, not counting those so discour, stopped actively searching for work.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Al- though temperatures are moderating, natural gas users in Idaho face new troubles this summer because prices are expected to increase.

Wholesalers and distributors say they expect the Canadian National Energy Board to increase the wholesale price of natural gas coming into the United States. They disagree whether the hike will come by July but say it probably will be set at $2.25 per thousand cubic feet.

That means ‘higher rates for natural gas users in Idaho, Oregon, Washington,

rts of Nevada and Nor-

ern California.

Gas presently moving across the border into the Idaho-based Intermountain Gas system costs $1.94 per thousand cubic feet.: In- termountain is supplied by Northwest Pipeline Co., which in turn is supplied by Pacific Gas Transmission Co., Washington. oo

Intermountain fresident Dean Grimm said he has been told the price might be increased to $2.50. —

A Northwest Pipeline Co. official said the company “views the probability of an increase as inevitable,”

About 75 per cent of all natural gas used in the four Pacific Northwest states comes from Canada, an industry spokesman said.

The latest inflation figures will focus critical attention once more on the selective wage and price controls

Inflation moderated through 1976, but largely because of declines in food: prices that are only partly econtrolied under the anti- inflation program. The forecast for food prices in 1977 is not so favorable, and

POLITICAL MURDER

SAN SALVADOR (AP) —

Foreign Minister Mauricio

Borganovo, kidnapped three . flights from Paris to New .

weeks ago, was found shot to death and a leftist group said Wednesday he was “executed” in a “revolutionary -war to establish socialism.”

Borgonovo'g body, with three .22-calibre bullet holes in-the head, was discovered Tuesday night along a road about 10 miles southwest of this capital city.

President Arturo Armando Molina's military regime had refused to deal with the who had

manded the release of 37 political prisoners for Borgonovo’s freedom.

Molina, an army colonel, met with military advisers Wednesday. Close aides said Molina had told the security chiefs: ‘Any measure we take, strong as it may seem, will be light compared to what they have done. We .., will get them even if we have to search house ‘by house:”’

Borgonovo, foreign. minister for five years and a member of one of Salvador's wealthiest families, was kidnapped April 19 by members of the Farabundo Marti Popular Liberation Front.

IGNORED PLEAS

The president had refused to negotiate with the kid- Nnappers despite pleas from the family, Jabor groups and Roman Catholic Church officials.

The church has long been at loggerheads with Mollna’s military-dominated regime over the issue of human rights and mounting violence in this country of four million. One priest has been murdered, five were ex- pelled from the country and

¥@ more have been denied reentry since Feb. 20.
