STORE LOCATIONS: Increased day-care funding OTTAWA (CP) — Health Minister Jake Epp is expected to sweeten the pot today in an announcement re- vising the federal government's proposal to share the costs of a national day-care program with the provihces. Last December, Epp released de- tails of a $5.4-billion plan to create 200,000 day-care spaces by 1995, twice the number now offered by commercial and non-profit centres across Canada. About $3 billion of the federal kitty would go to match provincial funds for operating costs of day-care centres. But some provinces — such as Ontario — have designed pro- grams so ambitious that Ottawa's matching fund would not meet the demand. One news report suggested the federal pot would be short by about $1.5 billion because of aggressive day-care strategies in some prov- inces. Liberal MP Lucie Pepin asked Epp in the Commons on Tuesday whether the federal government would act quickly to give immediate assistance to working parents who need day- care subsidies. “If she has patience for a day or two, she may have her answer,” Epp said without providing details. A source later confirmed an an- nouncement on increased federal day-care funding is expected today, although there was no indication 6f the amount. Federal legislation enabling the government to strike day-care deals with the provinces will be ready next week for tabling in the Commons, Eric Alexander, an aide to Epp, said Tuesday. He added that the minister stands by a commitment to see the legis- lation through the Commons before the end of the summer. Meanwhile, a Senate subcommit- tee examining the federal day-care proposal released a report Tuesday arguing against any move to pour federal funds into new commercial day-care centres. “In the case of child care, the commitment is most likely to come from those who have an interest in children which is independent of their livelihood,” the report said. The subcommittee, headed by Tory Senator Mira Spivak of Man- itoba, also urged the federal ‘gov. ernment to set aside money to develop a native child-care plan. Airliner stalled UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and Iran agreed to delay a UN Security Council meeting on the downed Iranian airliner, lar- gely on Iran's initiative because it could not muster a majority for con- demnation, diplomats said on Tues- day. A majority vote in the 15-member council would force the United States to use its veto to stop a resolution of condemnation. The meeting, origin- ally scheduled for Tuesday, has been postponed until Thursday morning. U.S. Ambassador Vernon Walters told reporters he did not believe Iran had the votes to condemn the United States for shooting down the airliner July 3 in the Persian Gulf. All 290 people aboard were killed. Walters spoke after meeting with UN Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar, who later conferred with Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Velayati of Iran. Velayati left the building without speaking to. reporters. Ratcliffe fiddling champion Castlegar’s Curly Ratcliffe took first place in the senior division at a fiddling competition in Duluth, Minn., for the third straight year. The Duluth contest was the final one for Ratcliffe, who also won awards at the Peace Gardens compe- tition in Holland, Man., and the com- petition in Detroit Lake, Minn. During his trip, Ratcliffe met with Graham Townsend, the undefeated world fiddling champion, and Town- send's wife, Elanor, who is the only woman to have won the North Ameri fiddling ch: Ratcliffe was gone for over a month and took in the July 4 cele- brations before heading back to Cc ' Terrorists hit ship ATHENS (CP) — Terrorists may have staged a eruise-ship massacre use two accomplices were blown up on land, dashing plans to hijack the boat in a bid to free a Palestinian accused of an airliner bombing, officials say. In Paris, an French radio today and claimed for the car explosion and decided to shoot up ‘the ship,” said the harbor officer. Sehiotis said two Lebanese men were being sought by police in connection with the car explosion. He identified them as Hamoud Abdul Hamid, 36, the man who had rented the car, and Mohammed Zozad, 21, ized by survivors as one of the terrorists aboard attack in the name of the Beirat-based extremist group Islamic Jihad. Radio France Inter quoted the man as saying the attack on the City of Poros or, Monday was in revenge for the shooting down of an iranian airliner by a i warship in the Persian Gulf. The man claimed to be speaking from Cairo. There was no independent confirmation of the claim, and the radio said it was being treated with caution. “We're pretty sure it was a fake,” a journalist at the radio station said. Meanwhile, Greek sécurity sources said the terrorists might have bungled their attempt to seize the City of Poros, which was carrying 471 tourists on a one-day cruise through the Greek islands. Nine people were killed and 98 injured when the terrorists opened fire with automatic -weapons and hurled grenades on the deck, officials said. NOCANADIANS The External Affairs Department in Ottawa said there were no reports of Canadians aboard. A senior Greek harbor authority officer said the terrorists wanted to seize the vessel “maybe to force the freeing of the Palestinian on trial.” Mohammed Rashid, 34, was arrested June 1 on charges of entering Greece with a forged passport. He is wanted by the United States on charges of planting a bomb on'a Pan Am jet that exploded on a Tokyo-Honolulu flight in April 1982, killing a Japanese teenager and wounding 15 people. Greece has said it is considering a U.S. request for the extradition of Rashid, whose trial was scheduled to begin in Athens today but was postponed until July 27 because of a countrywide work slowdown by prison guards. Public Order Minister Anastasios Sehiotis released on Tuesday photographs of three men and a woman he said were involved in the ship attack. He linked the group with an explosion that killed two men in a rented car near the liner’s home dock about six hours before the ship attack. Police said the car was laden with automatic weapons, grenades and a large quantity of explosives. “We think they (the terrorists) found out about the the ship. Coroner Manolis Nonas said nine people were killed, not 11 as reported earlier. He said the discrepancy arose because some of the bodies were torn apart. ‘The dead included Antonis Demaizis, 45, the ship's first mate, and Klaus Johan Grabas, 39, a Danish tourist and Irene Kack,-55, a Swedish tourist. Deputy Health Minister Manolis Skoulakis said 23 of the wounded were still in Athens hospitals Tuesday night. He said they were 17 French, two Swedish, two Danish, one described as Scandinavian and a five-year-old Egyptian girl. Several injured French tourists were flown to France for treatment. SAVE TERRORISTS? Initial police reports said the terrorists escaped in a waiting speedboat, but the harbor officer and several survivors said Tuesday the terrorists jumped off the burning ship into the sea and were picked up by rescue boats. Some survivors said the terrorist team consisted of two men and two women. Others said there were two men and one woman. The senior harbor officer said authorities believe there were two women, one with a Moroccan passport and the other with a French passport. Officials at the French consulate, however, said a French tourist was misidentified as the Moroccan woman, and that she was probably just chatting with one of the terrorists when their photograph was taken. “She's disappeared, we are looking for her,” a consulate spokesman said. Security sources said they believed the terrorists were pro-lran Arabs because an Iranian magazine was found in the wreckage of the blown up car. But Iran’s ambassador to Greece, Habibullah Biazar, called the speculation “a pack of lies.” Iran's official Islamic Republic news agency quoted him in saying the magazine was “an Arabic one.” Biazar suggested that the United States carried out the attack to overshadow its downing of the Iranian jetliner last week. The United States said a U.S. warship mistook the plane for a fighter, and Iran said all 290 aboard were killed. ; i Hy | ON THE JOB . . .

Speaking in a‘ huge hall at the Warski shipyard to rows of workers in hard hats and dungarees, the Kremlin leader emphasized the theme of cooperation between meeting by Iran “I don’t think it (a resolution of condemnation) was a matter of serious consideration because I don’t think they can get the votes for it,” Walters said in response to a question. The council meeting was post- poned Monday night by Ambassador Paulo Nogueira-Batista of Brazil, the president for July, after consulta- tions with the United States, Iran and other members. The official reason for the post- ponement was that more time was needed for consultations and prepar- ations. Officials also cited the Interna- tional Civil Aviation Organization meeting today in Montreal on the shooting down of the airliner after the cruiser USS Vincennes fire a missile at the ci in aireraft. The United States says the crew mistook the Iran Air Airbus for an F-14 fighter. Traffic tips Poland and the Soviet Union. “If the Soviet and Polish leader- ship did not feel the support of the working class, it would not be able to undertake the act of perestroika (re- structuring) and renewal,” he said. “And one more thing: Without the support of the working class, these policies would not be worth any- thing.” HANG BANNER Overhead, shipyard officials hung a banner reading: We are in solidar- ity with the Soviet leader. The stop was Gorbachev's main opportunity to address Polish work- ers during his six-day Polish visit, which began Monday. Polish leader Gen. Wojciech Jar- uzelski spoke earlier to the Warski workers and referred to the “stormy days” when Solidarity, the Soviet bloc’s first and only independent labor movement, was born. “Everything creative and valuable brought along by that period will be developed,” he said. But he said the period “set working people at vari- ance. It has already become history.” In southeastern Poland, 1,600 workers went on strike at two de- partments of a steel and defence plant that employs 18,000, opposition activists said. The government de- nied any strike was in progress. Two months ago, workers at various enterprises throughout Poland went on strike to demand free trade unions and higher wages, but Warski employees did not join in the job actions. ches were allowed to reopen with their confiscated property returned. Soviet Foreign Ministry spokes- man Gennady Gerasimov said after the Krakow tour that it was Gor- bachev's first visit to a functioning church since he became general sec- retary of the parfy in 1985. ‘PRECIOUS ART’ “I believe Mikhail Gorbachev has visited various churches” previously, Gerasimov told reporters. “I believe that he finds in them a precious piece of art.” The Catholic Church claims 95 per cent of Poland's 37 million people as members and churches in Poland, including the one visited by Gor- bachev, have traditionally been rally- ing points for anti-government dem- onstrators. After the visit, Gorbachev went to a rally attended by about 3,000 Polish and Soviet young people and urged them to return to the teachings of Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet state. Speaking in a courtyard at Wawel Castle, the residence of Polish monarchs until the late 1500s, Gor- bachev said Lenin's example could serve as a model in “the era of the secend world revolution since the birth of socialism. He urged the people to join the drive for rebuilding communism and said: “Do not miss the perestroika (restructuring) train.” >» now was chartered by Polish authorities in 1980 during countrywide strikes. The Lenin shipyard in Gdansk is consid- ered the birthplace of Solidarity, but workers at the Warski complex also were backers of the free trade union federation.

In Krakow, Gorbachev broke pre- cedent for a Soviet leader by visiting a functioning Roman Catholic chureh. His 20-minute tour of the 14th century St. Mary’s church on Market Square in Krakow was believed to be the first time that the head of the officially atheist Soviet Communist party made such a visit. In April, Gorbachev received at the Kremlin the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, the first such meeting in at least 40 years.

The Conservatives «used their Commons majority Tuesday to pass that and other changes to Bill C-84 and send the controversial bill back to the Senate jagain — hoping the move will be enough to persuade the upper house to finally approve the bill. But it wasn't enough for Liberal and New Democrat MPs, who chas- tized the government for not tighten. ing the definition of who can be prosecuted for helping people enter Canada illegally. Immigration Minister Barbara Mc. Dougall told the Commons she would accept a Senate amendment to remove the government's power to turn away ships, but only if the Senate passed a second immigration bill, C-55, which would speed pro- cessing and stop bogus refugees at the border. “One. of the contentious issues concerning Bill C-84 was the minis. terial power to turn back ships bringing people to Canada to make refugee claims,” McDougall told the Commons in tabling her changes. ‘SUNSET CLAUSE’ “I am announcing today a sunset clause which will eliminate the power to turn away ships six months after proclamation of Bill C-55.” In the interim, she said, a new clause will limit the power to turn back ships to those carrying illegal migrants and intercepted outside Canada's 12-nautical-mile limit. But she rejected a Senate amend. Sikhs establish scholarship HALIFAX (CP) — A Sikh organ ization has established a scholarship to thank the Nova Scotians who greeted and fed 174 Asians when they landed on a remote south shore beach one year ago. Narinder Paul Singh, spokesman for the Canadian arm of the World Sikh Organization, said Tuesday the scholarship will be for the best stu dent each year from the area around Charlesville, N.S.

Singh said Canadian Sikhs are grateful for the hospitality. Most of the Asians are now living in Toronto and Vancouver, but 10 have disappeared and Canada-wide warrants have been issued for their arrest. The rest are waiting for the federal Department of Employment and Im migration to decide whether to grant them status as refugees fleeing violence in India, which would allow them to remain in Canada. ment that would've defined those who can be prosecuted for helping people to enter the country illegally as those who “intentionally encour- age false refugee claims or assist clandestine entry.” Without the change, church groups and refugee aid organizations that help illegals come to Canada would be liable under the act, which sets penalties for the organizers of illegal migration and for their accomplices at up to 10 years in jail and fines as high as $500,000. William Doody, the deputy Tory leader in the Senate, said the Senate will probably begin to deal with the amended bills today. If the Senate accepts the government compromise, the bills need only royal assent to become law. Assent could come later this week. SUMMERTIME FAMILY PAK MEALS!
