Calderbank Canada combats apartheid OTTAWA (CP) — Canada hopes to promote new ways to combat South African censorship and propaganda at a Commonwealth meeting next week in Toronto, officials said Tues day. Countries will be able to choose from a wide range of options to cut through censorship and propaganda that the South African government uses to support apartheid, External Affairs Department officials told reporters at a briefing on the meet ing. Canada has prepared a report on the matter that is being circulated to the eight foreign ministers of the Commonwealth committee on south. ern Africa who will meet in Toronto for three days beginning Aug. 1 The officials, who briefed report ers about the meeting on condition they not be identified, would not say what Canada’s report contains. But they noted the Commonwealth committee has placed a high priority on helping black South Africans get reliable information and combatting South African propaganda in support of apartheid. Commonwealth members and other countries might choose to fund additional radio programs to broad. east uncensored news into South ZEON GUESS WHO'S Africa from the so-called front line states, the officials said, while others might elect to train more black South African journalists. The committee includes the for. eign ministers of Australia, Canada, Guyana, India, Nigeria, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Its chairman is Joe Clark, Canada’s external af. fairs minister. PRESS RESTRICTED At their meeting at an Okanagan, B.C., resort in October 1987, Com. monwealth ministers issued a state ment deploring South African press restrictions as so severe that “much of what is happening in South Africa no longer reaches the television screens and newspapers of the out side world.” Canada has organized a public forum on South African censorship and propaganda that will be held at Toronto city hall Aug. 2 Canadian and foreign experts will hold three discussion panels The chairman will be Anglican Archbishop Edward Scott, who was a member of the Eminent Persons Group appointed by the Common wealth in 1985 to assess the possi bilities for peaceful change in South Africa Canada has also organized an arts BACK? and entertainment festival to be held parallel to the foreign ministers meeting. The cultural events will hightlight the problems of apartheid The officials said it's unlikely the ministers will endorse further econ. omic sanctions at the meeting, but they will discuss-a report on the ef- fects of sanctions on the South African economy and more action could come later. A rally of concerned citizens is planned for Friday, at 12 p.m. at the Provincial Building in Nelson. The topics of concern are based on the responsible management of the forest industry. A coalition of local public groups has organized the rally in response to the imminent use of chemical sprays; HOSTAGE DEAL White House says no NICOSIA, CYPRUS (AP) — The speaker of Iran's parliament offered to try to have U.S. hostages held in Lebanon freed in exchange for Iranian assets frozen in the United States, but the White House said no deal. Before starting negotiations on the nine U.S. citizens believed held hostage in Beirut by pro-Iranian Shiite Muslim extremists, the United States must act to prove it is not hostile toward Iran, speaker Hash- emi Rafsanjani said Tuesday. One indication of good will would be releasing Iranian assets in the United States, he said in a television interview monitored in Nicosia. “So long as America keeps its hostile attitude toward Iran... there will be no negotiations,” said Rafsan- jani, who also is commander-in-chief of Iran's armed forces. In Washington, - White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater told porters: lo deals. The clearest signal they could send. is to_release the hostages.” Rafsanjani, considered the second most powerful man in Iran after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, did not refer to any specific Iranian as-, sets in the United States. PAID FOR GOODS But he said the Iranian govern- ment paid the United States for goods not delivered before the Islamic revolution toppled the gov Heart patient exposed to AIDS TORONTO (CP) — A_ heart recently transplanted into a patient at Toronto Western Hospital may be infected with the AIDS virus, though the hospital's director of transplan- tation says evidence is inconclusive. Doctors are monitoring the patient for evidence of the virus that causes the fatal disease after a test showed the donated organ might be infected. Tests of the donor of the heart conducted at the hospital where he was dying did not show the virus. A second test of the organ by the Red Cross —a routine procedure — was positive, but this test result did not come in until after the transplant. “It was a bit of a surprise to us,” said Dr. Carl Cardella, the hospital's director of transplanation. “How- ever, we still don't have conclusive evidence of . . . (the virus). Per: sonally, I'm not convinced he’s been infected.” A third test — designed to weed out false positive results — was in. conclusive, which usually means there is no infection, said Dr. Jack Nusbacher, who heads the Red Cross lab where the tests were done. FEW DETAILS The patient, who is recovering well from the operation, took the news about his new heart “very well.” Girl hides on Navy destroyer DUBLIN (REUTER) — A 15-yea old Irish girl stowed away on a U. guided missile destroyer when it docked in Cork on a goodwill visit and crossed the Atlantic hidden in a eubby-hole above the ship's refrig- eration unit for 10 days. A U.S. navy spokesman told Irish State Radio today that five sailors have been arrested and could face five-year-jail terms and $2,000 US fines for aiding and abetting an illegal. immigrant. and was found to be in generally good condition. “She had been hiding in an access passage . .. about the size of a small attic in a house that normally houses electric cables,” Lloyd said. “The destroyer had been bn a North Atlantic training course and the girl evidently got aboard when it stopped at Cobh near Cork, earlier this month on a courtgsy call. The girl, who claimed she was an orphan desperate to find work in the United States, comes from a large family, and is being flown home later this week. Five sailors from the USS Conyn- gham are already in naval custody and three more men are to be ques tioned, U.S. Lt.-Cmdr. John Lloyd told Irish Radio in a telephone inter. view from the United States. He said the girl was medically checked last Saturday when the Conyngham arrived in Norfolk, Va., Traffic tips Castlegar RCMP remind you thata bicycle operated on a highway be- tween one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise shall have a lighted lamp mounted on the front displaying a light visible for 150 metres and a red reflector or 4 red-lighted lamp mounted on the rear. ernment of the late shah Reza Pahlavi in 1979. State Department officials, speak- ing on condition of anonymity, said: : Rafsanjani probably was referring to military equipment, but they had no dollar figure. The United States broke relations with Tehran and put a hold on its; : U.S. assets after Iranians stormed the U.S. Embassy and took 62 Americans hostage.

By 1987, the tribunal ahd awarded about $1 billion to U.S. claimants and about $60 million to Iranians, plus an undetermined amount of interest to claimants on both sides. Nine Americans are among the 18 foreigners missing and believed held hostage in Lebanon by Shiite Muslim extremists. The longest held is Terry Anderson, 40, chief Middle East cor- respondent for The Associated Press who was abducted in western Beirut on March 16, 1985. Siamese twins fine HALIFAX (CP) — A baby girl, who was surgically separated from her siamese twin shortly after birth, went home Tuesday — eight days after her sister. Two-month-old Elizabeth Tanner shared an intestinal tract with her sister, Amanda, when the twins were born May 13 at the Grace Maternity Hospital in Halifax. Born to Donna and Joe Tanner of nearby Dartmouth, the girls were separated during a five-hour opera- tion at the Izaak Walton Killam Children’s Hospital, also in Halifax. It was the first time the surgery had ever been performed at the hos- pital. “We have every reason to believe their life expectancy is normal,” said Dr. Alex Gillis, who led the surgery. Donna Tanner said she knew she was going to have twins but didn't know they were joined until the birth. “I was scared, I didn’t know what was going on,” said the mother, who also has a four-year-old son, Jona- than. Amanda left the hospital on July 18 but Elizabeth stayed because her bowel wasn't working properly. Gillis, who said the problem has cleared up, said the infants will need more surgery in the future but will enjoy a full, normal life. concern about visual’ manag: logging in watersheds; the use of cleancut and slash-burning tech niques; new forest management pol- icy; changes to tenure and privat ization of the Forest Service. The coalition hopes that this rally will give people a forum to voice their concerns and to issue a challenge to all community groups, industry and government workers and private citizens to work together to ensure that development in our forests will be a benefit to its communities.

When he found there was no other machine like his listed, he went ahead with the 102 Foot Mate. j “There's no such machine like it in the world,” » he said of the machine which he demonstrated at the , West Kootenay Trade Fair in April. The portable machine simply plugs into a wall. You put your feet on the pegs on top of the machine and turn the switch on. It is based on the theory of applying accupressure to strategic points on the soles of the feet to rejuvenate the corresponding parts of the body. The 102 Foot Mate is currently being manu factured in Castlegar and retails for $399. y ANOTHER NATIVE son returns to Castlegar MARK KOWALKO . visits this weekend when Mark Kowalke, son of Alma and Ede Kowalko, South Castlegar, visits his former church, the Kinnaird Church of God, on Friday, July 29 at 7 p.m. Mark is now Youth Minister in St. Helen's, Oregon and is bringing a choir of young people 13-18 years old to sing and minister.

Charles Mims said after the first closed-door meeting on Tuesday be tween four leaders each of the Crips and Bloods, gangs depicted in the senstational crime film Colors. Gang violence also was the target of a protest on Tuesday night in East Los Angeles, where hundreds of people conducted a candlelight march. “We won't live in fear,” said Rev. Applicants fail to claim visas TORONTO (CP) — Eighteen menths after more than 22,000 people flooded U.S. consular offices eeress Canada to apply for special immigrant visas, about one-third of the successful applicants have yet to pick up their documents, American officials say. Many of the 2,078 visas awarded to Canadians aren't collected by Sept. 80, the U.S. government will go down the international list and give them te the next applicants, said Ralph Nider, deputy principal officer at the US. Consulate in Toronto. “Those numbers seem to be about what I expected,” Nider said. “There's also still a lot of time.” The one-third of Canadians who haven't picked up their visas under the one-time program is about the same proportion as in 36 other countries where the offer was ex tended, he said. The United States offered a total ef 10,000 visas under a congressional q@rder. The so-called non-preference THINKING OF SELLING YouR HOME? 1 NEED HOMES TO SELLI!

Nider said many applicants are likely waiting until September to get their visas while they clear up their affairs in Canada. Once the visa is picked up, the person has up to four months to report to the U.S. gov ernment. The people who applied for the special visas “come from all walks of life,” he said. “There were professionals, there were skilled laborers, unskilled la borers and retirees.” There were no country-by-country quotas and all applications were to be treated on a first-come-first-served basis. Ireland provided the largest num. ber of successful applicants with 3,112 while Canada was second with 2,078. Gregory Boyle, who organized the rally. Crips and Bloods leaders met with the ministers at a motel in suburban Carson 24 kilometres south of Los Angeles for about 90 minutes, then agreed to meet again today and Thursday. As they met, Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies from the Operation Safe Streets gang detail cruised nearby streets and watched from rooftops with binoculars. A news blackout on details of the meeting will continue until a news conference scheduled for Thursday, said Mims, one of the ministers in Los Angeles’ Watts neighborhood who organized the talks. The ministers arranged the nego- tiations in hopes the gang leaders would find enough common ground to at least slow the pace of killing. More than 165 people in the county have died in violence attributed to street gangs this year. Last year, 387 people, many innocent bystanders, fell victim to gang violence. OUT OF CONTROL Tuesday's rare face-to-face’ en- counter among young people who usually confront each other at gun- point was triggered by concern the gs had gotten out of control. “They're tired of the violence and they're tired of being used” by drug dealers and other underworld fig- ures, Rev. James Sterns of the Tabernacle of Faith Baptist Church said on Monday. Last weekend, four people died and 16 were wounded in Los Angeles area gang attacks. Police estimate gang membership in Los Angeles County at 100,000. NRS Mountainview Agencies Ld. Come In And N snnrl year-old UN ceasefire plan that his country agreed to accept last week. Perez de Cuellar said he dispensed with formalities and began peace talks Tuesday, one day ahead of schedule, because Velayati had already arrived. Aziz arrived later Tuesday, but did not make a statement. Velayati and Perez de Cuellar discussed implementation of Security Council Resolution 598, which was passed unanimously on July 20, 1987 and demands an immediate ceasefire in the eight-year- old Iran-Iraq war. PEACE TALKS The plan also calls for withdrawal to inter- nationally recognized borders, prisoner exchanges, peace negotiations and an investigation to determine which side started the war. Iraq quickly accepted the resolution last year. Iran's announcement of acceptance came after a string of battlefield defeats that began in the spring. Iraq asked for direct talks with Iran in New York, but Perez de Cuellar said he would not try to compel the two sides to meet face to face initially. Before meeting the secretary general, Velayati told reportres that Iraq was trying to sabotage the admitted using them, citing UN reports withi evidence of use by both sides, while Iran denies their use. Velayati said after his first afternoon meeting with the UN chief that the talks were “constructive and fruitful” and covered the steps to carry out a truce and a peace plan. Perez de Cuellar has said that he hopes he can announce next week the dates for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, two UN teams were at work in Tehran, one laboring over truce details, the other inquiring into the prisoner-of-war situation. The ceasefire would be monitored and super- vised by about 250 UN peacekeeping troops. Vernon Walters, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Tuesday on the CBS television program This Morning that it would be possible to work out a ceasefire between Iran and Iraq in the next two months. But UN officials have said the UN budget crisis may make it to finance the force unless the United States and other debtors pay what they owe. Such a force could cost $20 million to $30 million US a year, according to early estimates.; Washington has been witholding full dues payments to demand UN spending reforms.
