OTTAWA (CP) — Police eavesdropped on thousands of private telephone ‘and ° other conversations’ across Canada in 1982, resulting in 1,007 arrests and 16 convic- tions. $ The electronic bugging was authorized by judges, who approved all 565 appli, cations and all 160 renewals of applications to monitor suspects, said an annual report released by Solicitor General Robert Kaplan on Friday. Electronic-surveillance ap- plications must name the suspect and suspected crime. used in 46 court cases. Evi- dence was used but not cited in 66 cases, ‘ The: report said 1,848 authorizations. were given under, the Narcotic Control ‘Act, 575 under the Crimiral Code, 178 under the Food and Drug. Act, and two under the Customs Act. This year three’ authorizations were made under, the Bankruptcy Act.

Barrett. says the new rules remove the luxury of extra time. _ It’s going to be intense,” said Barrett, also hard on the campaign trail. “(The shorter race) condenses travel time, it cond area visiting, it everything.” Barrett speculated there might be ‘added exiphaits ‘on media exposure this time. He said the advanced state ‘of preparation in.both NDP and Socred camps. was due more to election speculation that has been rampant since -last fall than to the shortened ‘election period. ‘The.. heightened: awareness . of election forced everybody in: politics to become: more prepared.” “Lampert said the time reduction has affected -the pace of the party's television advertisements. é “If it were a longer campaign, we might have started slower and worked up to a crescendo. But both ourselves and the opposition decided to go full-out because of the length of the campaign.” STAFF WiLL BUBGEON Chief Electoral Officer Harry Goldberg said his staff, which will burgeon to 14,000 from 80 for a brief ‘period this spring, will have to be on their toes for the duration of the race. He said his office will save some money from the shorter campaign, which now is more in line with the other provinces. Newfoundland has the shortest election. period, requiring a minimum of 21 days between the call and election day. Ontario winter elections are the longest, with a minimum of 44 days required because of vast distances and bad weather. Between May and October, , Ontario: elections have a S7-day minimum. Federal campaigns were reduced last year toa minimum of 50 { v8 from 60. + Goldberg sald the electoral office must also. ensure advertising is out at the right time. “That has to be watched much more closely than it has in the past, press releases have to, be much more timely and the selection pf polling places by our returning officers in the province has to be undertaken. and accomplished more quickly. “Yes the pressure is on much more in a reduced period.” \. y, Green Party has global intentions fledgling: ‘provincial -Green Party, which advocates’ nu- formed Wednesday to search’ for candidates The riding was held by Pay iteocilsas ao students — esas the subject. _ before us today is cellulite and it poses a vexing problem. use; in a word, Shere tant any.* It: does” not exist Bote lie watey ““What's that Lye adam?
