No motive was given’ for the fourth deadly attack against European Jews in 15 months. A booby-trapped yellow van blew up Tuesday on a narrow street in the heart of the largely Jewish district, An anonymous caller who told the Belgian news agency Belga he represented “Direct Action Group, Section Bel- gium,” claimed responsibil- ity. The caller said the blast was not a racist act but did not elaborate, Belga said. “We don't know this group but we'll investigate this,” a police spokesman said.

DENIED INVOLVEMENT In Paris, former members of “Direct Action” denied any role in the Antwerp blast, calling the telephone claim “idiotic.” Says Canada is playing politics WASHINGTON (CP) — Canada was accused Tuesday of playing politics with the acid rain-polluti “to seek external issues which might unify Canadian constituencies” that are div- sy to divert attention from internal squabbles on con- stitutional reform and its en- ergy policy. At the same time, in a sep- arate statement, a U.S. en- vironmental administrator said it would be wrong to impose a costly American cleanup program against acid rain — urged by Canada — before being certain it would work. The statements came in : toa id He added an acid-rain alli- ance against Ohio and other Midwestern states by Can- ada and some Northeastern states gulty of air pollution demonstrates “politics, not science, is at the root of such a position.” Friedman also set U.S. grievances against Canada beside Canadian interven- tions in the U.S. acid-rain debate.

The report, released Mon- day by the umbrella organi- zation for B.C. credit unions, said the provincial govern- ment faces a $700 million to $1 billion shortage in proj- ected revenues for the next fiscal year starting March 31. “President (Ronald) Rea- gan has declared the U.S. is Genelle man fined $2,000 A Genelle man, Albert John Humphries, has been fined $1,000 on each charge, one of impaired driving and one of dangerous driving when he appeared in provin- cial court in Nelson Tuesday entering a guilty plea.

POLICY WILL CONTINUE “The tight money policy is expected to continue and the Reagan administration is not going to let it heat up,” he said. With no U.S. recovery ex- pected soon, expecially in the construction supplies market and in the demand for metals for automobiles, the pro- vincial government will be in for some serious budgeting problems, he said. Opposition Leader Dave Barrett, supporting the re- port, said funds accumulated by the previous NDP gov- ernment will bail out the Social Credit government this year. He said the deficit could run between $700 million to $1 billion next year. “However, for this year, the government can easily dip into the reserves of the special funds that we set up Britian’s jobless rate unchanged LONDON (AP) — Seven. bolster security in the wake of recent attacks on Euro- pean Jews.

While forestry revenues are down $100 million this fiscal year, McAlary. was more concerned about the projections for the year start- ing next March because they were made when it appeared that the U.S. economy was recovering. He said he found it highly unlikely that forestry rev- enues would triple from pro- jections of $130 million in the + current fiscal year to $430 million next year. Instead, he put them at $190-$150 mil- lion. ‘The government had pro- jected corporate income tax at $532 million this year and $620 million next year. It will more likely be $500 million next year, given the tight positions most major com- panies in the province are facing, McAlary estimated. ‘At the same time, the re- cession in the U.S. means that natural gas sales to the U.S. will not increase over the short term, while the federal government may cut $100 million in education and health transfer payments —— USE NUTS AS CLEANERS Use the meat of raw wal- nuts or pecans to clean the inside of a sticky, gummy wooden saiad bowl.

Y Focusses on the victim VANCOUVER Media and justice system at- tention traditionally has fo- cussed on the criminal, .but there is a growing awareness of the need to also look after the victims of crimes. Geoff Norquay, director of programs for the Canadian Council on Social Develop- ment, says while the Can- adian criminal justice system will spend about $3 billion this year for offenders, the government expenditures on services and compensation for crime victims won't be more than $15 million. “Victim: ‘programs are going to be the next great fad in Canadian corrections,” says Jerry Philipson, com- ‘munity services tol for the John Howard Society which launched an Aid to Victims of Crime project in March.
