Mildred Watson Clark, 35, broke down when her eldest daughter, Carmen, who turned 18 on Monday, turned away from her when Clark wished her happy birthday during a court recess, Clark, a cook from Clear- brook, B.C., came to the Bigfoot Philippines on April 1. vowing to regain custody of her children, who now live with her former common-law hus- band, Eduardo Gomez, 58, a Filipino businessman who la- ter became a naturalized Canadian citizen. Gomez and Clark lived to- gether in Canada for six years until they broke up in 1978. Clark said a B.C. court awarded her custody of the children but that Gomez al- legedly kidnapped them and took them to the Philippines in 1974.

(AP) — A confession from a retired logger who said he perpetrated a Bigfoot hoax by stamping giant footprints in the snow has only in- creased a 's belief Wash. “I tell you, people will believe just about anything.” But Mullens’ confession adds credibility to the legend because the Mount St. Hel- ens story didn't mesh with that the 350-kilogram apelike creature exists, At 86, Rant Mullens said he wanted to get a six- decade-old practical joke off his chest: he said he spurred the legend of the Bigfoot of Mount St. Helens by carving _ Wooden “feet” to leave large footprints. “If I don't set the record straight now, peoplé will go on believing there really is a hairy monster,” the logger said from his home in.

JAILED The judge ordered Gomez jailed last week for refusal to produce the children in court but lifted the order Monday Canadian flax. trade may benefit. WINNIPEG (CP) — The current dispute between’ Britain and Argentina could place Canada in a prime posi- tion for flax trade, says Doug Ford, president of the Winni- peg Commodity Exchange. Ford said Argentina is a major exporter of flax and a British naval blockades or trade ‘sanctions by other countires could halt ship- ments and raise world flax prices. Canada, as a major supplied of flax, would bene- fit as a result, Both Argentina and Can- ada export from 500,000 to 600,000 tonnes of flax a year, with much of the Argentine flax going to Europe and the Soviet Union, Countires of the Com- when the children During’ a recess, ‘Clark tried to talk to'the children but they refused to answer. She cried when Catherine hesitated to approach her. Gomez's lawyer Herras asked the court to put it on record that the children appeared to be indifferent to their mother. Clark’s lawyer Juliet Eustaquio said ..the children. had been brain- washed. In a memorandum to the court, Gomez's lawyer said Clark does not deserve’ to have custody by reason ‘of misconduct. He also said Clark is married to a man who is not the children's father. Eustaquio said Clark's marriage to another man in no way inhibits her from per- forming the duties: of a mother. She added that the 1974 Canadian decision giv- ing Clark custody came from a responsible court recog- nized by Gomez at the time. munity have declared in em- bargo on Argentine imports, so ‘they will have to find another supplier. Also, whatever. war ac- tivities that might go on be- tween Britain and Argentina | might also block off any ship- ments to the Soviet Union, said Ford. We would prob- ably be the only major sup- plier left. . Although the U.S. pro- duces flax, it uses almost all of its production domesti- cally. Canadian flax is used primarily in the production of linseed oil, which is used in the paint and chemical in- dustries. Other commodities affected by the embargo are corn and soybeans. Argentina has made some major sales to the USSR, said Ford. They will be supplying something in the neighbour- hood of 25 per cent of the Soviet Union's. needs this year. If that’s disrupted, then again it could be a spillover into our markets.

It guess the Pressure just caught up to a lot of guys... Kevin Lowe,, the Oilers’ steadiest defenceman all season, said the “biggest shock was that we panicked.” Oilers out of playoffs By BRAD ZIEMER ‘EDMONTON (CP) — It was a worse feeling, Wayne Gretzky said, than the humiliating loss Team Canada suffeed at the hands of the Soviet Union last September. Gretzky and his Edmonton Oiler teammates bowed out of the National Hockey League playoffs Tuesday night, losing 7-4 to Los Angeles Kings in the decisive fifth game of their Smythe Division semifinal series. “You play 80 games and it’s too bad we got.beat out,” a softrenoken Gretzky said in a somber Oiler dressing “We didn't panic all season, through 80 games, and then when we needed to be calm the most, we panicked. We didn't really panic tonight but there was a strange feeling we just were never in our right environment.” LEARNING EXPERIENCE Garry Unger, at $4 the elder statesman on a young Edmonton team, said the Oilers simply have to view the loss as a learning experience, “You have to learn from every experience you're in and we did learn an awful lot from the experience we were in this year and we learned a lot last year with Montreal and the Islanders,” said Unger. “It's just that this year we really felt... that we could do it. We might have overlooked this series; sometimes that happens.” While the Oiler dressing room resembled a morgue, the Kings were celebrating their first playoff series win in the last five years. “We've had bad luck the last four years in the first round and we came in underdogs and we sort of liked it that way,” said Charlie Simmer, whose two goals early in the first period, set the pace for the game. “They had the fans on their side but I think it can work against you if things don’t go good for you right away.” Tekst scalpers were getting, $100 a ticket for the gam "Among the spectators was former Oiler Doug Hicks, who was traded late in. the season to Capitals. “Ifelt for them every minute of the game,” Hicks ‘said outside the Edmonton srepsing: Foom, “I had to be here with them.” National League roundup By The Canadian Press Steve Carlton has won 262 games and pitched six one- hitters, a National League baseball record. He is one of only four pitchers to win three Cy Young awards, has struck out more batters than any left-hander in major league history and has won 20 or more games five times.

Carlton has made two starts. this. season, both against the Mets, both losses, ‘The latest one was Tuesday by a 6&2 score that dropped Carlton’s career won-lost mark against the Mets to _ 25-30.
