The resignation of Crown attorney John Pearson leaves the three men charged in the April leak in limbo until May 28, after provincial court Judge James Fontana ad. journed the case Pearson told Fontana he was withdrawing because he may be called as a witness. Moments before, Pearson had told the court he Suspected RCMP Staff Sgt. Richard Jordan was using a claim of solicitor-client privilege to avoid disclosing infor mation that would show the Mountie had been lying Jordan “‘knows that if he’s required to say what it is that was said to him he’s liable to be charged with perjury,” Pearson said On Monday, a Justice Department lawyer claimed solicitor-client privilege as Jordan was about to testify about meetings involving RCMP investigators, deputy RCMP commissioner Henry Jensen and associate deputy justice minister Doug Rutherford Jordan said Thursday he had been advised by counsel to claim lawyer-client privilege for his dealings with the provincial Crown Pearson responded that Jordan was “‘using the con cept of privilege as a cloak’” against revealing information he didn’ \want divulged The\adjournament ended four days of startling testimony in the trial of television reporter Doug Small and two other men. Small broadcast details of a leaked budget document April 26, the day before Finance Minister Michael Wilson was to have made the budget speech. TEACH A LESSON Jordan, the only defence witness so far, said in earlier testimony that Jensen wanted Small charged to teach jour- nalists a lesson. Jordan said he refused to sign the charges, as did his superior, because they felt prosecution was unwarranted, but a subordinate laid the charges Jordan, who holds a law degree, said discussions with Rutherford and Jensen were inclined ‘more toward. scheming than legal analysi Leonard Shore, counsel for defendant Normand Belisle, said Pearson's suggestion that Jordan was lying **may have been something that weighed on his mind”’ in deciding to withdraw from the case. Belisle, Small and John Appleby are charged with possessing stolen property under $1,000. Belisle is also charged with theft under $1,000. David Scott, Smal?’s lawyer, said Pearson will have to be a witness to **justify himself.

An agitated Mulroney responded by questioning the Newfoundland premier’s moral authority. “Where do you get the moral authority to impose a Constitution on Quebec?” Wells insisted he wasn't rejecting Quebec, but he was impatient with the amount of time it took to satisfy his neighbor to the west No one province can hold up the constitutional development this nation forever,” he said Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa missed most of Wells’s remarks. An aide said he left the conference hall to set up meetings. But Bourassa rejected the suggestion of a national referendum because the accord has already been approved by Parliament and eight provincial legislatures “‘How could we tell the Parliament of Canada and eight legislative assemblies to start again from zero?"" he asked. **Re-opening the Meech Lake accord is tantamount todestroying it.”” ¢ tone for the conference had been set at a dinner Wednesday night, at which the first ministers argued about the accord in an exchange which sources say featured some pretty harsh words Meech Lake recognizes Quebec as a distinct society and gives all provinces an increased say over immigration, the naming of Supreme Court justices and the naming of senators. Only Manitoba and New Brunswick have not ratified the accord, which must be approved by all 10 provinces and Parliament by June 1990. Manitoba’s Gary Filmon, who also wants significant changes in the accord, saw Wells usurp him as the spoiler at this conference, but went ahead with his own attack on Meech Lake “While the Meech Lake accord was created as a positive effort to cement the unity of our nation, it has since become a symbol of disenchantment and alienation,"’ he said.

Drivers will pay more VICTORIA (CP) — B.C. motorists will pay up to 13 per cent more for car insurance next year, the Insurance Corp. of British Columbia announ: ced “ICBC has to make its premium projections based on the number and cost of accident claims,”’ said Michael McCarthy, vice-president of insurance operations. ‘And those numbers are still rising McCarthy said an additional 4.8 per cent is required to meet the rising cost of accident claims and because a num- ber of changes are being made to Autoplan. Premiums for claim-free motorists for 1990 will rise a maximum of six per cent, ranging from a decrease of about $15 toa $60 increase “ICBC’s claim-rated scale ensures that, all other factors being equal, claim-free motorists will always pay less for their insurance than those who have caused accidents,"’ McCarthy said Those at fault inan accident in 1989 face hikes of 60 per cent or more, he added. Vehicles rated for pleasure use only or people who live in new rating territories face increases between seven and 13 percent Under the changes to Autoplan, the province will be divided into 15 territories rather than the current six As in the past, premiums charged within a territory will depend on the number of claims in that area McCarthy said premiums will rise an additional one to four per cent over and above the general increase in some areas and there will be offsetting decreases in other areas. Premiums for compulsory and ex tended third-party liability coverages, combined, will increase by six per cent, as will comprehensive coverage.

Zhivkov, 78, also resigned from the ruling Politburo, and the party’s policy-setting Central Committee proposed he be relieved of his post as state president, the official BTA news agency said. Zhivkov, who moulded Bulgaria into one of the Kremlin's most loya allies, was replaced by Foreign Minister Petar Mladenov, the news agency said. Mladenov, 53, has been foreign minister since 1971 and is considered more open to reform than Zhivkov. The changes occurred at a Central Committee meeting called to discuss various proposed changes and followed dramatic developments in East Germany and other east bloc countries Still have role, Deng says BEIJING (Reuter) — Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said today he still has a political role to play despite resigning from his last Communist party post as head of the military commission.

Tens of thousands of East Germans streamed into West Berlin and other parts of West Germany today after a heady night of celebrating the opening of the Berlin Wall and East Germany’s other borders Thursday. They drove cars, took the subway, walked and ran to better view Headlights blazed from hundreds of East German cars, jammed solid along the street leading to the wall. They waited for the crowd to walk through so they could drive across.

Berlin is again Berlin,”’ proclaimed today’s banner headline in the Bild Zeitung, the West Berlin tabloid. People flashed copies of the newspaper, popped champagne corks and waved sparklers. After thousands of East Berliners had entered the western half of the city, East German radio announced they would be required to get a visa for such trips starting this morning. ‘But East Gerliners who rushed to the wall and to police stations today for visas kept the divided city’s border open They swamped official attempts to control the flow through the eight crossing points Police at one station said visa-free travel would probably continue throughout the weekend. The all-night celebration in downtown West Berlin lasted until about 5 a.m. today. West German television said East Berliners were continuing to cross to the western side this morning. Others, who spent the night celebrating, were returning home. Also today, a reshuffle of the Communist leadership continued with the firing-of one of its new members, ap- pointed just this week.

The tempo of change has been much faster in East Germany than in the Soviet Union, Poland or Hungary Events have spun out of control since East Germany, the Communist child of the Cold War, celebrated its 40th birthday just a month ago with 77-year-old leader Erjch Honecker heading the celebration ANALYSIS But the party was spoiled by images of East Ger mans fleeing to the West, through Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Poland. Now Honecker builder of the Berlin Wall in 1961 — is gone, along with most of his aging comrades. What was left of the Communist party Politburo resigned en masse Wednesday, and the new leader, Egon Krenz, tried to put together a leadership that could retain the political supremacy of a discredited party He promised free elections, and then on Thursday Politburo member Guenter Schabawski announced the opening of his country’s borders, unleashing the once unthinkable flight of thousands through crossings in the Berlin Wall As Mikhail Gorbachev decreed reform in the Soviet Union, he -atso-set toose reform movements across the Soviet bloc-At home, he allowed freer elections, a more open press and formation of legislative bodies that par tly reflected popular will In a decade of struggle, Poland managed to come to terms with an opposition that rallied around Solidarity to form the East bloc’s first non-Communist government. Hungary moved slowly but surely toward demoractic reform. East Germany seemed firmly embedded in the old ways, its leadership wary of change.
