Sex charges disturb Carter

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Businessman Bob Carter has
explained that sex charges
against him caused him to
decide not to move the head-
quarters of Northern Life
Assurance Co. from London,
Ont. to Vancouver.

Carter, chief of Carter Oil
and Gas Ltd. and also prin-
cipal owner of Vancouver
Whitecaps of the North
American Soccer League,

lost an appeal Feb. 23 against
a British Columbia Supreme
Court order requiring him to
face trial for rape, buggery,
gross indecency and indecent
assault. His lawyers are pre-
paring an appeal to the Su-
preme Court of Canada.

“It was my full intention to
increase the company’s pres-
ence in Vancouver if I had
won my appeal,” Carter said
Monday.

“But I don't think it is fair
to employees to move to
Vancouver and to be associ-
ated with a day-to-day basis,
given my current situation. I
don’t want 200 nervous
breakdowns on my hands.
Who needs it?”

The purchase of Northern
Life, with $2.6 billion in life,
health and disability policies,
is expected to be completed
in early April, Carter said.

He plans to move North-
ern Life's marketing and
investment divisions to Cal-

gary.

Northern Life, now con-
trolled by Industrial Life In-
surance Co., has 240 em-
ployees,

The purchase is being fi-
nanced through bank loans,
but the price cannot be dis-
closed until the sale is com.
pleted, Carter said.

Students take over office

VANCOUVER (CP) —
About 15 members of a
group called Students
Against the Budget occupied
the Vancouver constituency
office of Universities Minis-
ter Pat McGeer on Tuesday.

The students — from the
University of British Col-
umbia, \ Commun-

schools — said they are upset
with government cutbacks in
education funding.
Spokesman Bill Collar said
the group plans to remain in
the office for a couple of days
and protesters will have to be
dragged out if police are or-
dered to remove them.

The injured worker, identified by project manager
Nick Eustace as Terry Carrier, 23, was struck in the face
by a rock, one of about half a dozen lobbed at him by the
tradesmen.

The non-union worker had infuriated the pickets

“If I were in the White House tonight; I: would ‘be very.

Hart, whose campaign snowballed through northern

Vermont's non-binding primary Tuesday. He won the Maine
caueuses Sunday and the New Hampshire pimary Feb. 28.

The Democratic national convention is in San Francisco

Democrats — and the fight between candidates is to win as

his today in Georgia, Alabama snd
Florida — three of the nine states holding Democratic presi-

“This is not just a horserace,” Mondale said Tuesday
night in Tampa, Fla. “This has become a battle for the soul of
the Democratic party and the future of our country.”

Hart also watched the returns while in the South, and
he embraced indications there was a Republican crossover
vote in Vermont. “I intend to defeat Ronald Reagan,” he
said.

Although no delegates were at stake in Vermont and
the outcome was mainly symbolic, Hart's victory was
dramatic.

Polling conducted of voters by CBS News indicated that

Mondale said he would now focus exclusively on the
South, adding: “We were really not contesting Vermont. We
spent little or no money there . . . this was one we just
couldn't afford to be in.”

With all of Vermont's 264 precincts reporting, Hart had
51,703 votes, or 71 per cent, to Mondale’s 14, 806 votes for 20
per cent.

Rev. Jesse Jackson had 5,677 for eight per cent. By
failing to gain 10 per cent of the vote for the second straight
primary, Jackson faces the prospect of losing federal
matching campaign money in 30 days. To regain eligibility
for federal money, he must win 20 per cent in a forthcoming
state contest.

“If we don’t get national funds it would not stop our
campaign,” Jackson said in Michigan.

FELL TO GROUND
The worker fell to the ground when struck and lay in
the mud. He was helped to a nearby construction trailer
and later taken to hospital.
Eustace criticized the police for failing to intervene

“The police are doing absolutely nothing — absolute-
ly nothing. It's shocking that they are doing nothing.”

No charges were laid in connection with the incident.

George Jalava, co-ordinator for the British Columbia
and Yukon Buildings Trade Council, said the non-union
workers on the site work for $9 or $10 an hour, about half
of what the union men are paid. Safety standards also
suffer when non-union workers are used,

he said.

Tax discounting

harmful

OTTAWA (CP) — Con-
sumer Affairs Minister Judy
Erola says she is considering
measures to help low-income
families get child tax credits
quickly so they won't have to
turn to tax-refund discount-
ers who siphon off up to 15
per cent of the payment.

Erola said Tuesday outside
the Commons that tax dis-

to poor

counting is an unhealthy
practice, particularly when it
involves low-income families.

In recent years, around tax
time, scores of storefront
operations have sprung up in
which discounters offer im-
mediate cash for tax-refund
claims in exchange for the
right to retain up to 15 per
cent of the total amount
claimed.

Riis criticized for

Riis (Kamloops-Shuswap)
told a meeting of the council
that Manitoba's government,
the only NDP administration
in Canada, must have good
reasons for suggesting work-
ers trade wage increases for
job security.

“The policy is probably
based on a good deal of sense

for this region,” Riis said of

Six on trial for rape

FALL RIVER, MASS.
(AP) — A woman who says
she was raped on a barroom
pool table by six men while
others cheered initially said
two of the men now on trial
hadn't even touched her, a
policeman testified.

But another witness testi-
fied he was asleep in Big
Dan's taveran the night of
March 6, 1983, and awoke to
see one of those two de-
fendants on top of the
woman, who was crying “as if
she was in pain.”

The 22-year-old woman
says she stopped at the New
Bedford bar to buy cigarettes
and was grabbed and at-
tacked as she tried to leave.

New Bedford police officer
Carol Sacramento testified
Tuesday the woman told her
of having been raped by at
least six men, first on the bar
and later on a pool table.

“I asked her how many
men had intercourse with her
and she said she lost count
after six,” Sacramento said.

“I asked her if she could
identify the men who raped
her. She stated that she could
not identify them, that they
all started to look alike.”

Sacramento said the wom-
an told her bartender Carlos
Machado could pick out her
attackers.

But when Machado pointed
to Daniel Silvia and Joseph
Vieira, now defendants, the
woman said they were not
among those who raped her.

“She said they were in line,
but they didn’t get their
turns,” Sacramento said.

In testimony last week, the
woman said Silvia and Vieira
took turns holding her down
and raping her. She said one
of them tried to force her to
have oral sex, and that a
third man, John Cordeiro,
also tried to force her to per-
form oral sex.

The woman said she did
not.remember making earlier
statements to police that she
bad been raped by at least six

men.

Sylvester Vultao, a cus-
tomer in the bar, testified
Tuesday he saw Silvia on top
of the woman, who he said
was making noises “as if she
were in trouble.”

Speaking through a trans-
lator, Vultao, a Portuguese
immigrant, said he had not
been “right in my senses” af-
ter drinking beer and wine.
He said he fell asleep at the
bar, but woke up when he
heard noises.

Vultao said he saw Silvia
and the woman on the pool
table. Other men in the bar
were laughing, he said, but
“the girl was very anxious.”

Vultao also said he saw de-
fendants Virgilio Medeiros
and Jose Medeiros touch the
woman “close to her legs.”

“She was crying softly as if
she was in pain,” he said. ‘If I
were in my right sense, I
wouldn't have stayed.”

Silvia and Vieira are being
tried in an afternoon trial.

‘FAT TUESDAY’
OVER FOR YEAR

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Where parade after parade
of Mardi Gras carousers had danced hours before, only
the street cleaners were left to sweep up today as the
long party season known as Carnival gave way to Lent.
Undaunted by chill winds that scattered light rain
into mist, tens of thousands of partygoers packed the
sidewalks of New Orleans on Tuesday to watch thousands
more celebrate Mardi Gras, French for Fat Tuesday.

Gorillas, Frankenstein monsters, sea monsters,
priests, monks, clowns, cowboys and a large variety of
rabbits — pink bunnies, white bunnies, Bugs and Playboy
bunnies — all turned out for 15 parades in the city and its
suburbs.

Police and fanciers of the female form alike kept an
eye out for women who, at the urging of the crowd and
despite the weather, bared most or all in the name of
conviviality.

“We spend about $20,000 a year to come here,”
fumed a California restaurateur who spent hours waiting
for three female companions to be released from the
Central Loeckup, where they had been taken after
unbuttoning one button too many on a Bourbon Street
balcony.

“T'll tell you, never again,” added the man, who said
he comes to town every year to see Mardi Gras from
rented balcony rooms on the French Quarter's celebrated
street.

It was to protect your eyes from just such scenes
that thousands of families went instead to suburban
Metairie, where children ran into the street to gather up
strings of beads thrown from floats in the Krewe of
