Ouellet, the minister responsible for the post office, said the Crown corporation's president, Michael Warren, has agreed with Consumers to end the experiment after MP for However, outside the Commons, Ouellet refused to comment further on the decision, saying he is “not responsible for the daily operations of Canada Post.” Warren could not be reached for comment but Larry Sperling, the post office's vice-president of business de velopment, said the project was intended to provide information on the feasibility of other similar services he He said it will be up to Consumers to decide whether Hold put on shopping OTTAWA (CP) — Canada Post Corp. and Consumers Distributing Co. Ltd. have agreed to put on hold a pilot project allowing catalogue shopping: through the mail, Labor Minister Andre Ouellet said. He made the comments after Liberal back-bencher Henri Tousignant, an opponent of the controversial project, pressed Ouellet in the Commons to say whether the service will be extended across the country after its three-month trial in eight Quebec and Ontario postal to continue with the service after the post office hs reviewed the project. OTHERS INTERESTED Sperling said other retailers, including Sears Ltd. and Canadian Tire Corp., have expressed interest in offering similar services. Post office spokesman Michael Rapsey said the corporation is “close to an agreement” with the New Canadian Sports Pool Corp. to sell tickets for the betting scheme at postal outlets in Alberta. Under the pilot project with Consumers, customers can browse through the company’s catalogue at a post office and order and pay for-the goods at the counter. The order is transmitted to the company via the post office computer and the goods are delivered to the station for pickup. The post office, which collects a fee from Consumers to cover the cost of mailing, storage and service, hoped the project would put a dent in its $300-million operating deficit. The post office experiment with catalogue shopping has been criticized by retailers, who consider it an intrusion into their territory. Since 1981 the post office has been steadily reducing its operating deficit and expects to be out of the red by 1987 when its federal subsidy runs out. Chernenko slams U.S. MOSCOW (AP) — Soviet President Konstantin Cher- nenko called Saturday for a ban on all space weapons and accused the United States of wanting to turn space “into an arena of aggression and wast’ Chernenko, in a letter to U.S. scientists released by the Soviet news agency Tass, urged all countries that po- ssess space weaponry to sign a Soviet draft treaty that calls for a ban on space weapons, “There are some who would like to turn space into an arena of aggression and war, as is clear from the plans announced in the USA,” he said in the letter. Chernenko accused the United: States of planning to deploy anti-missile systems in space and said Washington intends to station “super new types of weapons” in space that could strike targets on land, at sea and in the air. Chernenko’s statement did not contain anything dif ferent from offers made by the late President Yuri An- dropov, first to a group of American scientists in April 1963 and again last August during a meeting with nine U.S. Democratic senators. PRESSES AHEAD Since that time, the United States has pressed ahead with plans to develop anti- satellite weapons, It has said the Soviet Union already po- ssesses similar weaponry that can be fired from Earth into orbit. Tass said Chernenko’s let- ter was addressed to Amer- iean stientists Carl Sagan and Richard Garvin. The two wrote to Chernenko and other world leaders in, sup- port of the Soviet draft treaty on banning space weapons, Tass said. U.S. President Reagan, who has proposed research into space-based anti-missile weapons, said in February that it would not be wise to open negotiations with the Soviet Union on a new treaty because it would be almost impossible to verify Soviet compliance. A senior U.S. diplomat said this week that the Kremlin suggested the. two countries discuss space weaponry and the White House agreed, but the superpowers disagreed on what would be d. agreements,” said the diplo- mat, who spoke on condition he not be identified. REJECTS OFFER He said Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko turned down the offer, saying the Soviet Union only wanted to negotiate on the proposed treaty, which has been sub- mitted to the United Nations General Assembly. “Gromyko says he'll only negotiate, he won't just talk.” the diplomat said. “We say it’s impossible to have any ‘tions until you define the subject.” In his letter, Chernenko reiterated the Soviet position on the arms race, saying it “We offered to discuss whether placing weapons in space would be a violation of existing space weapons the pons compe- tition, but would “take mea. sures for ensuring its sec- urity,” if it is faced with a threat from space. Persian ship bombed PANAMA (AP) — A steel-laden freighter hit by an Iraqi missile sank Saturday in the Persian Gulf, shipping sources in Bahrain's capital said. It was the sixth vessel at. tacked by Iran or Iraq in less than a month. The 17,000-tonne freighter Fidelity, of Panamanian registry, was near Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal, headed toward the Iranian port of Bandar Khomeini with a load of Spanish steel, when it was attacked Friday Shipping sources said the 230,000-tonne Spanish oil tanker Barcelona escaped an attack at the same time the Fidelity sustained a direct hit “The Spanish’ tanker Barcelona was not hurt, but the Fidelity sank . . . A mayday call was received from its captain to that effect,” said a Bahrain-based executive of a European ship salvage company. At least 19 other vessels, including several huge oil tankers, have been attacked in the gulf region since February — five of them since April 25. Iran and Iraq have been at war since September 1980. Shipping sources at Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, said 24 crew members of the Fidelity were rescued by other ships or Iranian helicopters while nine escaped in life rafts. There was no word on any casualties. Lloyd’s Shipping Intelligence of London said it was uncertain how many crew members the ship had. On Friday, the Iraqi military said its fighter planes hit two “big” naval targets near Iran's main Kharg Island oil terminal. TARGET SINKS On Saturday, the Iraqi state radio in Baghdad quoted unindentified shipping sources as “Admitting that one of the two naval targets which were successfully hit by Iraqi planes yesterday (Friday) has sunk near the Iranian oil terminal in Kharg Island.” The two targets were identified by shipping sources as the Fidelity and the Barcelona. Sources said the Fidelity sank southwest of Kharg. Riots break out in India BOMBAY (AP) — Police and army troops struggled Saturday to put down fierce Hindu-Moslem rioting and arson that has swept the Bombay area for three days. Police say 67 people have been slain, including a Mos- lem family of 20 trapped and burned alive in their house. The violence is believed to be the worst Hindu-Moslem fighting in India in 14 years. streets of Bombay and near by Bihwandi, in bazaars and narrow alleys, hurling rocks, firebombs, bottles and acid. Curfews were declared in both cities and the army was called in to enforce them, but fighting continued into the night Saturday Police said they fired on two rioting mobs in Bhiw andi, killing 10 people, and rioters in Bombay shot at of- ficers and critically wounded four of them. Police said more than 1,100 people had been arrested since riots and knives battled in the started Thursday. Officials of the Arab War Risk Insurance Fund, a conglomorate of 28 gulf insurance companies, met in Doha, Qatar, to overhaul insurance guidelines because of a wave of recent attacks on tankers and freighters in the oil-rich region. Executives of the fund said its Arab underwriters were considering declaring Persian Gulf sea lanes north of the Strait of Hormuz a war zone. In Tunis, foreign ministers of the 21-member Arab League opened their meeting with discussion of Iranian attacks on Kuwaiti and Saudi oi] tankers. The meeting originally was slated to discuss tension between Libya and Tunisia, but Kuwait called for immediate pan-Arab action to deter Iran. Although the gulf countries have remained officially neutral, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are major supporters of Iraq in the war. Iraq is a member of the league. Iran — a Persian, not an Arab country — is not. Saudi Arabian diplomatic sources said Saudi and Kuwaiti officials were seeking agreement from other Arab foreign ministers jointly to petition the United States, Western European countries and Japan to put pressure on Iran to halt its attacks.
