INTERIM OTTAWA ‘(CP) — The Progressive Conservative leadership convention will be held in Ottawa. the week ending June 12 but Joe Clark remains interim leader with * severely limited powers, the party's national executive ittee decided LEADER Clark any advantage in his campaign to win the Teader- ship back. “He receives no benefits by maintaining those two spec- ifie responsibilities’. . . “No doubt he will receive some criticism butt think the Party president Peter Ei zinga told reporters the 33- member committee was unanimous in asking Clark to remain leader for the techni- cal requirements of signing nomination papers if a by- election is called and appoint- ing the party's official agent for fund-raising. Both duties are required by the Canada Elections Act, - he said. But Clark relinquishes all control over the party machinery, no longer speaks on its behalf and, loses his seat on the executive. Elzinga was insistent that * the arrangement won't give be Reporters pressed Elzinga asked for an 82-cent-an-hour wage increase and improved COLA payments. . Owen said the union's next move is to write to the com- pany asking that bargaining resume. Cominco senior public Te- lations officer Richard Fish agreed that the company is hoping to return to the bar- gaining table. However, he said he has no idea when bar- gaining will resume. On Wednesday, .Cominco executive vice-president Har- old Fargey _ warned that d possible shutdowns with Cominco president Norm Anderson and: Ander- son said there is the pos- sibility of a three-week shut- down this spring and another in late summer. “He never mentioned any- thing about rotating three- month shutdowns, ” Owens said, But Owens ‘added that it wasn't just coincidence that the report came the day be- fore the union took its vote on the company’s proposed concessions, “That's a definite ploy ... _ during a vote to try to sway the membership,” Owens charged. But Cominco’s Richard Fish said Fargey was really just saying what Cominco officials have been saying all “13 ig docs in mass | killings ga ‘ling club astendne ‘and found ‘the bodies of 12 men and a woinan, all Asians and most bound and shot in the head in the. worst mass killing in Seattle history. Police speculated robbery might have been the motive, but Capt. Mike Slessman would say‘ only the “very methodical” killings ap- peared to be the work of more than one person. Within hours of the dis- covery atthe Wah Mee Club, police arrested two men on suspicion of homicide, and a third man was being ques- tioned, said police spokesman Gary Flynn. He declined to provide additional details. Names of the victims were not immediately made public. Police went to the club shortly after midnight Friday night. after a passer-by re- ported seeing a wounded man in analley. The wounded man, who also had been shot in the head and is in hospital By RON NORMAN Editor More than a thousand tons of wet clay slid down a 60-foot embankment early Friday morning and crashed through the rear of a Castle- gar business, ‘ resulting in more than $100,000 damage. No one was injured in the ‘mudslide, though damage was extensive to the Armour Plating building, located in , the 900 block Columbia Ave., ‘across from the old arena. The mudslide also dis- rupted CP Rail traffic into Castlegar because .the rail line runs close to the edge of the embankment. A CP Rail work crew was out early Saturday morning realigning the track three or four feet further west, into the hill. CP Rail division engineer McKee ‘said in. an ‘interview Friday that trains have been instructed to slow to eight kmh from 82-kmh until crews have had time to rebuild the embankment. .- ‘He said crews should begin : the ‘rebuilding work some- time this week. Meantime, ~Rail will have an em- . ‘The ‘president of Slocan Forest Products says he har- bors no hard feelings ‘about the ‘provincial government's decision to turn 60,000 hec- tares of the Valhalla moun- tain range into a class A pro- vineial park. “We made all our presen- tations to the goverrment . . « and our government through the political process made a decision and we abide ” by it,” Irving Barber said in an interview Friday from his Vancouver office. He added later, “It is now a park and I wish everybody “well.” , Slocan Forest Products, the valley's major employer, had considered logging in the area as part of its 10 to 15 year logging plans. The class A park status means the Valhalla area will now be limited to approved recreational use, said Envir- onment Minister Stephen Rogers in a formal announce- ment this week. The Valhalla proposal had been the centre of controver- sy between those who wanted only a wilderness park and those who wanted the area to be used for timber extraction as well. In_ his announcement, Rogers indicated the cabinet decision had been influenced by the recent Slocan Valley planning program tourism analysis carried out by the along — that if the doesn’t improve, the com- pany will have to do some- thing. ard Quebec P Jean Riou repeatedly to say what title, if any, Clark now | holds. Riou said: Clark “is no longer our leader.” But after continued questioning Elzin- i referred td him as “in-~ rim leader” for the pur- ae of the Canada Elections Act. Asked who Clark was chosen above any one else, such as Yukon MP Erik Nielsen who assumed the separate but related position of Opposition leader Feb. 2, Elzinga said simply that the committee thought he was the best-choice. Trail’s could be closed down on a “It's not with what we said last March,” th on, th off basis or scaled back if ne economy does not recover. Fargey said that-a shut-_ down would be staggered because it would be difficult: to scale down operations completely. He warned that the three- month, on-three month off scenerio is all “a big if,” but, said the company can't lose money forever. Steelworkers’ Owens ssid the union doesn't “hold much stock” in the threat of a three-month rotating shut-- down. He said ‘the union tained. Last March Cominco announced a five- week summer shutdown, the first in the company’s his- ‘tory, and said .more shut- downs may be contemplated if the economy does not im- prove. “It’s not new as far as we're concerned . . . It’s one of a myriad of possibilities.” Fish later added that Far- gey’s comments were “specu- lation” and noted that Fargey hedged himself by saying, “This is all a big if.” continued on pege AS in serious’ ‘conditi heavy police guard, a olin police toward the private club.

Many of the victims. lay face’ down and the bodies were “just strewn around the , floor,” said Flynn.

The study found that pres- erving the area as a park could lead to as many as 229 new jobs in tourism and rec- reation and would bring in $3.5 million in additional rev- enue. As well, it could pro- vide related capital invest- ment of up to $18 million. Meanwhile, planning for the wilderness mountain area = located on the west side of Slocan'Lake between Slocan City and New Denver —-is expected to get underway immediately. _ Ron Routledge, visitor ser- vice’ manager for regional parks in Nelson, said Friday that a master plan will be ployee on hand every time a train runs over the dan- gerous portion of the track to ensure that the embankment does not give way. McKee said if the embank- ment appears to be giving way while the train is over it, the employee will warn the engineer to stop the train. He said the move is “usual procedure” in this instance. He added that the eight kmh limit should reduce ‘any ‘vi- brations from the train and help prevent any. ‘more slides. McKee said the slide oc- curred because of a buildup of water in the area just above the embankment. He said a culvert is in place, but the culvert has been draining only part of the water that has collected above the em- bankment. He called the slide .a' which took . “surface slide,” out about 10 feet of the em- bankment. The area affected is a half-moon shaped piece of steeply-sloped clay about 80° feet long at the top and 200 feet long at the bottom. McKee estimated that about .1,000 cubic yards of nee building | clay slid down the embank- ment and into the Armour Plating building. A cubic yard weighs about 1.2 tons, he said. The property on which the slide occurred belongs to CPR, through it is at the intersection of four separat- ely-owned parcels of land, ac- cording to city works super- intendent Igor Zahynacz.. Zahynacz said that the em- bankment had been excav- ated about three years ago and soon after the excavation “sloughing” — where the clay begins to slide — started to occur, Zahynacz said Castlegar council wrote to CP Rail lest March 25 notifying them’ of the sloughing and voicing concern about the embank- ment. The letter also asked CP. Rail to inspect the em- bankment and “remedy ‘the situation.” The city followed up with another letter Sept. 28, again asking that the CPR solve the problem. In the letter Zahynacz. said, “I would like to make note of a concern with: regard to continued on pege AS: .

And facil- ities such as trails and camp shelters will have to be care- fully considered because of the impact they will have on the surrounding area, Rout- ledge said. For example, he said de- velopment’ planning must take into account such ecol- ogically sensitive areas as an unusual plant community of Engleman Spruce and fern along Nemo Creek and a rare stand of Yellow Cedar. “Those kind of things we have to look at carefully,” he commented, Planners will also have to take into consideration the rugged terrain and limited access to the park, 2. P we might be interested in establishing a water-taxi ser- vice to carry recreationalists across the lake to the park. This method of access would provide jobs as well as enable parks officials to nionitor the number of people using the park. Some trails could even be established as early as this summer if a grant is ap- proved through the New Employment Expansion and Development program (NEED) program. Routledge said as many as 20 people could be hired to clear trails and take inven- tory of existing facilities.
