HIGH-TECHNOLOGY Cominco, Japan sign agreement VANCOUVER (CP) — Cominco Ltd., best known for big mining operations, has moved once again to increase its trading ties with Japan, this time in the high-technology field. Cominco has concluded an agreement with two Japan- ese companies that will boost sales of its high-technology electronic materials in the Asia-Pacific region. The Vancouver-based company has appointed Mitsui and Co. and Denki Kagaku Kogyo KK, both of Tokyo, as joint agents for the marketing of most of its. electronic materials product line. Mitsui and Denki Kagaku, who belong to the same group of companies, or keiretsu, in Japan, will market the electronic materials in Japan and southeast Asia. The Japanese government is quietly moving to loosen ° controls over the large industrial groups such as Sumitomo, Mitsui and Mitsubishi. - : Under ‘y J law, a single holding company is prohibited from controlling and inating the group. One pany having 50 per cent of the market, or two companies having-75 Per cent, would be open to scrutiny. But these rules are not enforced vigorously. The 16 keiretsu are made up of 920 companies and their annual sales account for almost 25 per cent of the sales of all Japanese companies. Rae out HARD TO CRACK oo Foreign businesses have long’,complained that the informal meetings of members of a keiretsu make it very difficult for outsiders:to crack the Japanese market. Cominco's link with Mitsui could develop later into a joint venture production company in Japan with Cominco ~ supplying the high purity materials, made from rare metals extracted along with the lead, zinc and copper that are the company’s main products. Although Cominco Electtonic has been exporting to Asia for years, the agreement with Mitsui and Denki should boost sales said Dave Guetting of marketing at Cominco Electronic. “Worldwide sales totalled about $50 million last year,” said Guettinger. “But 90 per cent of that was in North America.” , Prior-to the link with Mitsui, Cominco was assumed to be affiliated with the Mitsubishi group. Cominco has a joint venture with Mitsubishi in Japan through its 45 per cent stake in Mitsubishi Cominco Smelting Co. Ltd., which has operated a lead smelter in Japan since 1966 using lead mined at Cominco's Pine Point operation in the Northwest Ter- ritories. e But in recent years Mitsui has been quietly solidifying its relationship with Cominco.

Lions do to their defence, Tor- onto Argonaut Cedric Min- ter figures they'll be ripe to establish a running . game against them in the Grey Cup game today. Minter and his Toronto teammates are underdogs — 8 1-2 points on the most recent line — to win their first Canadian Football Leagu title since 1952. Bookmakers obviously ‘are looking at the noise factor in the cavernous domed B.C.

The lone at-home loss was to Toronto. aR There were reports following the Western Division final last Sunday against Winnipeg that Blue Bombers players were even faking injuries to create a vacuuth in the noise factor. e The Lions, however, have been hard-hit by injuries to their defence, forcing head coach Don Matthews to make several key changes, including the use of rover- outside linebacker Kevin Konar at middle linebacker and Bernie Glier at rover. ~ ‘ Among the more serious late-season injuries have been to middle linebackers Tyrone Crews and Dave MeNeel, outside linébacker Glen Jackson and defensive hack Andre Jones, CONREDGE HOLLOWAY . «Argos underdogs to suggest the changes weaken the structure of the Lions’ defence. 5 Minter, however, hopes all the lineup juggling by B.C. could affect how the Toronto coaching staff approaches today’s game plan. “It could help our running game ... because Konar really isn’t an inside linebacker,” the 24-year-old running back out of Boise State suggests. “He's going to be playing a new position today. : a “Maybe we could take advantage by running the ball a little more.” , Only Jackson remains as bone fide linebacker in the B.C. scheme, and the eight-year-pro — all with the'Lions after he was a territorial protection out of Simon Fraser in the 1976 CFL Canadian college draft — returned to the lineup for the Winnipeg game after a month on the sidelines. Why, when the Toronto braintrust has been down- playing the Lions injuries, would Minter try to stir up the opposition? j “Because I like to run,” he replied. “It doesn’t happen in the ball game too often. “But we had pretty good success in the first game we played against B.C. this year (a 14-11 win in Toronto on the strength of Minter’s 102 yards rushing of 16 carries). “They were d about Condredge (q: back Condredge Holloway) on his rollouts that (injured defensive end Nick) Hebler would line up so wide it was too obvious to miss, “We just ran a basic draw through where Hebler would normally be positioned.” : ‘ Middleton sparks Bruins to victory BOSTON (AP) — Rick Middleton's 12th goal of the season, on a power play, broke a 1-1 tie early in the second period Saturday and sent Boston Bruins on their way toa6-2 victory over New Jersey Devils, who lost for 20th time in 22 National Hockey League games this season.
