ministry earlier this year, said this week he has raised the
dead and will return after his own death to rule alongside
Jesus Christ.

Roberts's comments, made Thursday to about 5,000

Richard Roberts also said his father’s promise to return
— after his own death should be no surprise. He said
‘all born-again Christians” should expect to return to earth
ie the anticipated second coming of Jesus Christ spoken of
in the Bible.

On his program Friday, Richard Roberts said he
recalled one instance in his boyhood when he said a dead
child was brought back to life by his father.

“Right in the middle of my dad's sermon, a woman came
running up the platform with her baby in her arms
screaming ‘My baby has just died. My baby has just died,’ ”

The elder Roberts, whose 40-year ministry originated
with tent revivals in which the sick came to be healed, told
his fellow ministers Thursday he has brought the dead back
to life.

aceused believed the situation was
through their eyes.”

He said the brokers never delib-
erately lied about their comission and
he observed that “some or all” of the
men had convinced their own friends
and family to invest in the scheme.

“Did they do this to help them or
deliberately defraud them?” Fabbro
asked.

Fabbro also pointed out that of the
$3.2 million collected, more than $1.5
million was actually repaid to inves-
tors.

Fabbro said the brokers must have
believed Powers and were confident,
after the April 16 police raid, that they
had the “best lawyers in the world”
representing them.

He later remarked that by acquitting
the brokers of the fraud charge he was
not making a declaration of their in-
nocence but, nonetheless, he was left
with “reasonable doubt.”

According to previous testimony, the
20 per cent commission each broker
made during the duration of the
scheme, between January 1985 and
April 1986, totalled almost half a
million dollars.

Voykin was accused of having a
personal take of $263,000, or 20 per
cent of $1,315,000; Evdokimoff made
$102,000 or 20 per cent of $511,000;
Stoopnikoff made $72,000, 20 per cent
of $361,000; and Chursinoff netted
$56,000, 20 per cent of the $284,000 he
collected.

All four men later admitted their
own personal records of the invest-
ments were not detailed enough to dis-
pute the figures.

After the trial, many in the court-
room gallery said they were disap-
pointed with the decision.

Many said they had expected the
brokers to be found guilty of fraud.
Others said they were frustrated with

the time consuming justice system and
were dismayed that the four men were
released on thelt own recognnaissance
until the end of the summer, when a
sentence will be handed down.
Defense attorney Donald Sperry,
who represented all four men in court
Thursday, declined to say whether his

However, Crown counsel Bill Heflin
commented that the pressing question
now is a matter of restitution for those
investors who lost money.

Civil suits addressing restitution are
expected to be filed some time this
summer.

PM rejects demands

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney re-
jected opposition demands
Friday that he break off free-
trade talks with the United
States following reports that
President Ronald Reagan has
refused to exempt Canada
from punitive U.S. trade
laws.

Mulroney acknowledged

Reagan had rejected Can
ada’s demand for an indepen
dent bilateral tribunal with
binding powers to settle
trade disputes.

Liberal leader John Turner
said if this is true, there is
not point in continuing the
talks.

Turner said Canada has al-
ready made too many con

ing a letter exp g
Reagan's views.

But the prime minister
said he believed Reagan was
stating a bargaining position,
not a final stand on Canada’s
key demand in the trade
talks.

Opposition MPs grilled
Mulroney about a report that

and Mulroney
should order Canadian nego-
tiator Simon Reisman to
“walk away from the table
while he still has his shirt on
his back.”

Mulroney refused to re-
lease a copy of the letter and
carefully avoided confirming
its contents.

“The president of the

United States expresses a
point of view in this letter
and he does not go beyond
that,” Mulroney said. “On the
basis of that, the negotiations
will continue.”

He also restated his com-
mitment to obtain an exemp-
tion for Canada from U.S.
trade laws and said a trade
deal without this would be
“self-defeating.”

Meanwhile, Trade Minister
Pat Carney suggested in
Vancouver that if the talks
are going to fall apart, it will
happen in the next few
weeks.

She said the issue of set.
tling trade disputes would be
a key factor because the

system Canada wants would
curb congressional control of
trade policy.

Carney also acknowledged
that her relations with Reis-
man have been tense.

She said Reisman was “go-
ing nuts” because there are
only three months left ot to
finish negotiations. Carney
said she was trying to rein
him in “so that he doesn’t
give away the bath water be-
fore we've even had a chance
to sip it.”

The negotiators held a
twoday session this week,
after which Reisman said
both sides were exchanging
written proposals on the
most important items.

picketer.

Picketers were also angry about a postal tryck that
broke through the picket lines about 8:45 a.m. It was the
only truck that made it into the post office delivering mail
from Kelowna. But it did not leave with any Castlegar
outbound mail.

The truck first ran the line and then drove out again
to open its doors away from the picketers. If then drove
through the linc a second time to unload the mail and then
drove out again.

“He could have easily run over somebody,”
Guglielmi.

The strikers were also upset that an RCMP cruiser
urove through their picket line and parked beside the
postal truck.

A picket spokesman said it appeared the RCMP were
protecting the Canada Post truck. He added that the
RCMP should have stayed off Canada Post property and
simply ensured picketers obeyed the law

Picketers protested to the Castlegar RCMP detach
ment about the incident.

The Friday picket line went up at 6:30 a.m. after
Gugliemi said he received word “sometime during the
night” to set up a picket line.

Ben Fietz, representing Castlegar's inside postal
workers, said Friday morning that he expected all of his
members to report to work

“They all have to come in otherwise they'll be

said

He added that he did not expect problems with his
members crossing the picket line since the two unions
have an agreement.

Inside postal workers were permitted to go into the
post office through the main entrance.

Gugliemi said he did not think Canada Post
customers would be upset at his union for setting up a
picket line.

“Once people start to realize what the issue is . . . it’s
a lot bigger than Castlegar and a lot bigger than Mr.
Brisco (Kootenay West MP) wants to admit,” said
Guglielmi.

Later in the day he said that support for the letter
carriers had been strong

“People have refrained from going to get their mail,”
he said.

The letter carriers received support on the picket
line from other unions like the United Steel Workers of
America and the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

Steel Workers spokesman Ron Schmidt called
Canada Posts’ actions “disgusting.”

“The postal workers will get tremendous support.
It's the most disgusting thing I've seen. In this one, we're
in a fight to the finish,” Schmidt told the Castlegar News.

Asked if things will return to normal between the
letter carriers and McNeil once the strike is over,
Guglielmi replied: “It’s not going to be as nice as it used
to be.”

Almost all vote

MOSCOW (REUTER) — More than 99 per cent of
the Soviet electorate voted in local government elec-
tions last Sunday, showing the high political
consciousness of Soviet people, the Communist party
newspaper Pravda said Saturday. The elections,
involving experimental multi-candidacy slates in some
areas, elected more than 2.32 million local government
deputies, of whom 66.7 per cent were not members of
the Communist party and 49.4 per cent were women,
Pravda said.

Diners beaten

LONDON (REUTER) — Diners who complained
about food at the Diamond restaurant in the heart of
London's Chinatown met a stronger reaction than they
expected — four of the waiters beat them with
baseball bats, clubs and sticks.

The four waiters, all Chinese, were jailed Friday
for two years each for what Judge Denis Paiba des-
cribed as a disgraceful show of unprovoked violence.

Kim Chu, 30, Frankie Lam, 30, Peter Lee, 25 and
Cheung Ki, 35, pleaded not guilty.

The court heard the diners, who expressed their
dislike for food they had been served, were “clubbed
like seals” when they complained.

Panda dies

WASHINGTON (AP) — Zookeepers _said-
Saturday that a panda cub died of respiratory arrest
less than four days after its seemingly healthy birth to
Ling-Ling at the National Zoo.

Doctors who examined the female cub said it
apparently developed an infection that caused fluid to
fill its abdomen and lungs, killing it shortly before
midnight Friday night while it was in its mother's
arms.

Richard Montali, the zoo's chief pathologist, said
the fluid was apparently caused by an infection,
perhaps peritonitis. But tests are still being done, and
final results on the cause of death may not be known
for several days.

Contract rejected

TORONTO (CP) — More than 3,000 striking plant
and office workers at de Havilland Aircraft of Canada
Ltd. voted overwhelmingly Friday to back their
union’s decision to reject the company’s latest contract
offer.

Bob White, president of the Canadian Auto
Workers union, said the vote was a strong message to
the company that the workers won't actept conces.
sions on seniority rights, shift schedulding, grievance
procedures and other issues.

“If you reject this proposal today, we'll do our
best to get the company back to the bargaining table
as soon as possible,” said White, who received tumul-
tuous applause and a standing ovation.

Reagan test

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ronald Reagan's physi-
cians “fully expect” that laboratory tests will show no
recurrence of colon cancer in the president, White
House chief of staff Howard Baker says.

The four-doctor team that took part in Reagan's
colonoscopy at the White House on Friday are
scheduled to release the results of their tests on
Monday.

Reagan, leaving the White House for Camp David
shortly after the exam, gave reporters a grin and an
OK sign when asked about his health.

Bodies found

MANILA (AP) — Searchers on a fog-shrouded
mountain have recovered the bodies of all 50
passengers on board a Philippine Airlines plane that
crashed and burned near the summit, officials said
today

Ariline officials and workers at the Rescue
Co-ordination Centre in Manila said the bodies are
being flown to the capital for identification.

Workers hadn't been expected to recover all the
bodies today becausé rain and darkness hampered
efforts to land helicopters on the slopes of 2,100-metre
Mount Ugu, where the twin-engine plane crashed

Iraqi claim

NICOSIA, CYPRUS (AP) — Iraq said Saturday
its forces killed at least 1,000 Iranian fighters in the
mountains of northeast Iraq and recaptured strategic
peaks, repulsing three assaults by Iranian Revolution
ary Guards

But Iran said the guards mauled several brigades
of Iraq's troops in fierce battles on Friday night,
inflicting thousands of casualties, and pushed into
Iraqi territory in a two-pronged offensive

Tehran's official Islamic Republic News Agency
said Iraqi warplanes dropped chemical bombs to stop
the latest Iranian push in the Persian Gulf war, now
nearly seven years old.

pro-democracy demonstrations across South Korea, opposi

concessions or face more and escalating protests.

Friday's countrywide marches, which turned into
running battles when police attacked demonstrators with
tear gas and trunch din d areas early
today.

Top dissident Kim Dae-jung issued a statement \
claiming Friday's protests — among the most extensive in
2'/ weeks of daily demonstrations — were a “great success.”

Kim Tae-ryong, spokesman for the main opposition

i ion D party, p d that if reforms
are not initiated, the party will abandon civil disobedience
and “switch to a line of decisive struggle.” He did not
elaborate.

The two Kims are not related.

By midmorning today, the traffie-clogged streets of
Seoul appeared back to normal after hours of clearing away
debris from the clashes.

Government-guided newspapers called for a resumption
of talks between opposition and government leaders in an
effort to end the growing confrontation and violence, but
little ground for compromise was evident.

HIT 37 CITIES

Massive anti-government protests began Friday in 37
cities and continued early today in areas of Seoul, Kwangju,
Chongju and

Anestimated 200, 000 people marched through the cities
shouting Doo-hwan, a former army general.

Police blasted protesters with tear gas, and students
hurled firebombs and rocks.

Authorities said 39 police stations, 20 vechicles and six
government office facilities were burned or damaged
overnight.

Police said 3,467 people were detained. But 2,665 of
them were released after being warned to avoid future
protests.

The report said 573 police were injured. There was no
word on civilian casualties, but they were believed heavy
because many people were seen hurt by police firing
tear-gas canisters or by squads trained in martial arts.

The 200,000 figure was based on domestic news reports
from across the country and estimates by witnesses in the
street. Government estimates were much smaller, while
opposition figures far higher.

Researchers claim Washington
keeping silent on UFOs

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Researchers, trying to doc-
ument that the U.S. govern:
ment recognizes the exist:
ence of unidentified flying
objects, believe Washington
has tried to keep UFO in-
formation under wraps.

“We've been dealing with a
kind of cosmic Watergate,”
said UFO researcher Stanton
Friedman at a briefing Fri-
day on this weekend's Inter.
national Symposium on Uni
dentified Aerial Phenomena,
1947-1987.

Frieaman is one of the
scheduled participants in the
weekend session at American
University coinciding with
the 40th anniversary of the
first reported UFO sighting
June 24, 1947.

A later incident that sum.
mer was the alleged crash in
July of an alien craft outside
Roswell, N.M. The UFO
logists contend the U.S. gov
ernment retrieved the crash
ed object and covered up all
traces of it.

Freidman said the govern
ment has been able to keep
the lid on its UFO program,
which began with the so-call
ed Majestic 12 group under
the administration of former
president Dwight Eisenhow
er, because only a few people

keep the information.

The only reference to the
group in official government
documents is a declassified
July 14, 1954, letter from
Robert Cutler, special assi-
stant to the president, to

Alter girl not
allowed to serve

TORONTO (CP) — The al.
ter girl who was forbidden to
serve at a mass conducted by
the archbishop of Toronto
has taken her protest to the
Ontario Human Rights Com
mission, saying the Roman
Catholic church discriminates
against women by banning
them for the altar

Sandra Bernier, 11, has
been an altar girl at Sacre
Coeur Church in downtown
Toronto for four years.

Vatican policy prohibits al
tar girls, but Sacre-Coeur
Church accepted Sandra be
cause there're too few boys
for the job. Many other local
churches algo breach the role.

But a special mass this
week to celebrate the
church's 100th anniversary,
only boys were allowed at the
alter because Emmett Car

of Toronto, strictly follows
Vatican policy

LODGES COMPLAINT

With her mother Suzanne's
help, Bernier complained in a
statement to the commission
Friday that the church vio
lated the Ontario Human
Rights Code by forbidding
her to participate in the
ceremony.

“T'm hopeful now,” she said
in the elevator outside the
commission office. “Now that
I know they'll look at it,
things will calm down.”

The commission (will re
view Bernier's complaint and
contact her soon, spokesman
Fern Gaspar said

However, Ontario Attor
ney-General Ian Scott said
this week the church has the
right to set rules that dis.

Bernier said Friday she
thinks her days as an altar
girl may be over.

“I don't know if they'll tet
me (continue).”

New citizenship
policy considered

TORONTO (CP) — Ottawa is considering a policy
that would make it more difficult for landed immigrants
to become citizens and ban many Canadians from
carrying dual citizenship.

In releasing a discussion paper Friday, Secretary of
State David Crombie said rules governing Canadian
citizenship have been too lenient.

A 22-page discussion paper suggests a complete
overhaul of the 40-year-old Citizenship Act, including new
requirements for citizenship, a new citizenship oath that
deletes the pledge of allegiance to the Queen and a
national holiday in February to celebrate multicultur
alism.

Crombie also announced changes to the Citizenship
Court, where immigrants receive their citizenship,
including training to “sensitize” judges and increased
power for the senior judge. Two Toronto judges resigned
last year after they were accused of badgering citizenship
applicants.

Here are some_of the changes being considered:

— Revoking the Canadian citizenship of those who
apply for citizenship in another country. Currently
thousands of Canadians living abroad hold dual
citizenship.

— Requiring that immigrants who want Canadian
citizenship renounce their “prior status.” Applicants now
may retain citizenship in their native lands and get
Canadian citizenship.

— Changing the residency requirements for citizen.
ship, perhaps lengthening it from the current three years
and banning applicants from claiming credit for time
spent in the country as illegal immigrants.

_ Barring people who have been convicted of major
crimes in other countries from becoming
citizens

WORK ON DETAILS

Crombie said the details of the proposals will be
worked out during the summer and legislation tabled in
October

He also announced the names of 12 new Citizenship
Court judges, including Joseph Piccininni, a Toronto
alderman for 25 years until he was defeated in 1985.

In 1982, Piccininni provoked a storm of protest when
he said women have a hard time getting jobs because
they are “generally lazy and won't get out of bed.” He
also made headlines in 1980 when he refused to explain
how taxpayers benefited from a $2.900 free trip he took
to Italy
