CasNews photo by Kris Steinbre INTERNATIONAL NEWS Gorbachev visits Canada Soviet pays tribute to Canada's war dead OTTAWA (CP) — Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev paid respect to Canada’s war dead today in @ ceremony at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. On a bright, breezy day, hundreds of onlookers fell silent as a lone bugler played The Last Post while Gorbachev, his wife Raisa, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his wife, Mila, stood before the memorial. A Canadian honor guard in scarlet tunics and white safari helmets stood rigid as Gorbachev stepped to the memorial, across the street from Parliament Hill, and touched a rib- bon in a wreath placed before the monument. The haunting lament of a bagpiper echoed across the square before Gor- bachev signed a distinguished visitors’ book to conclude the brief- but moving ceremony. It reciprocated similar tributes paid last November by Mulroney at war memorials in Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev during his visit to the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev arrived in Canada on Tuesday for a brief visit before heading to a summit with President George Bush.

Ardent anti-abortionists in Liberal and Conservative ranks, as well as pro-choicers led by the New Democrats, had campaigned vigorously against the bill. MakeaMove!! without Wetome Higa.

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, lunching with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, was not in the House for the vote. The voting was interrupted three times by pro-choice protesters in the visitors’ gallery. About 15 of them began to yell when Justice Minister Kim Campbell — who calls herself pro-choice and who shepherded the bill through the Commons — stood to vote for the bill. Some threw skirts at the floor of the House. The legislation, which must be ap- Proved by the Senate before it becomes law, is intended to fill the legal vacuum that has existed since the Supreme Court of Canada struck down federal restrictions on abortion in January 1988. Bill C-43, introduced last Novem- ber, would allow abortion if a doctor believes the physical, mental or psychological health of a woman is threatened. The Justice Department says the wording would permit abortion for social or economic reasons, as well as because of clinical illness. Each doctor would be free to make the exact diagnosis but a physician who ignores the law, or a woman who lies about her health, could get two years in prison. Anti-abortion lobby groups say the bill amount to abortion on demand and will do nothing to reduce Canada's 60,000-plus abortions a year. Pro-choice activists say the legislation does nothing to guarantee access in areas like Prince Edward Chretien OTTAWA (CP) — Wanted : 200 to 300 good people willing to buck a trend. With surveys suggesting Jean Chretien is heading to a first-ballot win at the Liberal leadership conven- tion, the campaign team of Montreal MP Paul Martin has one i Island, where no abortions have been performed in eight years because no doctor is willing to do them. The Cana Medical Association fears abortion zealots will harass physicians by trying to lay private criminal charges — a concern rejected by the government, which says frivolous prosecutions would quicky be thrown out of court. The National Association of ‘Women and the Law is considering a court challenge, while anti-abortion organizers are taking a more political approach, promising to step up effor- ts in the next federal eléction . VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C. doctors say new federal abortion legislation could make it tougher to get abortions. Physicians may be reluctant to do the procedure for fear of frivolous prosecutions, John An- derson, president of the B.C. Medical Association, said. The legislation,, which was paseed by the Commons on Tuesday and must still be ap- Proved by the Senate, carries a maximum two-year prison term for doctors who ignore the law or women who lie about their health. “I think it certainly could (have an impact on access),’” Anderson said. “I’ve already heard of in- dividual physicians saying they’re unwilling to provide service under that kind of legislation. Whether they will cease to provide service, I don’t know, but they basically said they felt very strongly about it.” The Canadian Association opposes Medical the bill, B.C. abortions may become harder to get saying anti-abortion zealots could harass doctors by laying private criminal charges. In Victoria, Dr. Mary Conley, of B.C. Physicians For Choice, said abortions ‘‘will be. a little more difficult to get.’* “Locally, there’s at least one doctor who has said he'll no longer be involved in referring patients because he’s afraid of being prosecuted,” she said. In the legislature, Darlene Mar- zari, NDP women’s issues critic, asked Premier Bill Vander Zalm for assurances that abortion ser- vices will be offered in all B.C. hospitals. But Vander Zalm, a devout Roman Catholic who opposes abortion, dodged the question. “There’s no problem, of cour- se, in that we all have to abide by the law,”’ he said, Hilda Thomas, of Everywoman’s Health Centre abortion clinic in Vancouver, said she fears the legislation will make access more difficult, but the Privately funded clinic will con- tinue to perform abortions. appears MPs executive members, defeated candidates. Most campaign aeams expect Chretien will take at least half of those 800 votes — which would put him more than 200 votes above the 2,600 needed for victory. Martin’s forces have been pinpoin- and goal: staying alive for a second ballot. A survey by The Canadian Press of most Liberal delegate selection meetings held up to Monday night Suggests 2,415 delegates support Chretien, who placed second in the 1984 leadership race. That's almost half of the 5,200 delegates expected at the leadership convention in Calgary June 21-24. The CP survey indicates Martin has 670 delegates, Hamilton MP Sheila Copps 196, Toronto MP Tom Wap- pel 154 and John Nunziata, also from Toronto, 32. The survey does not include 800 ex- officio delegates who vote as party ting Chretien del whose support may be soft. “The first (objective) is to get to a second ballot and I think that is an eminently achievable one,’’ said David Herle, Martin’s national cam- paign director. Martin's own figures — which in- clude ex-officio delegates — suggest Chretien has 2,678 delegates, Martin 1,589, Copps 375, Wappel 212 and Nunziata 13 with 333 undecided. But Tim Murphy, Martin’s Ontario campaign director, noted as many as winner feels it needs a change of five per cent of delegates — little more than one delegate a riding. At Copps headquarters, organizers are also looking for delegates willing to switch allegiance — to hold on to third place for the Hamilton MP. “Ninety-nine per cent of the delegates say nice things about her, whether they’re supporting her or not,”’ said campaign manager Scott Sheppard. Gary French, a Wappel spokesman, says a lot of People will be surprised in Calgary at the Strength of the anti-abortion MP. Meanwhile, a senior Chretien cam- paign official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the ‘‘peeka-boo”’ strategy by the former Liberal cabinet minister has ended.

This week, however, any Progress U.S. President George Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev make to control nuclear and chemical weapons will take a back seat to other thorny foreign policy disputes that have bedevilled superpower relations during a period of rapid change in East-West relations. Bush said last week he hoped for “significant progress’ to control nuclear and chemical weapons during the four-day summit, which begins Thursday when the two leaders sit down at the White House for the first of several face-to-face meetings. Gorbachev, who arrived in Ottawa on Tuesday for a 29-hour visit and talks with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, expressed hope for enhan- ced co-operation between the Soviet Union and the United States. “*Dialogue and trust between leaders, countries and nations are especially important” at this time of dramatic change in East-West relations, the Soviet leader at the Canadian Forces Base Uplands near Ottawa. “‘Dialogue and trust between leaders, countries and nations are especially important”’ at this time of dramatic change in East-West relations, the Soviet leader said at the Canadian Forces Base Uplands near FINANCING .C. 48 Month Fixed Term) OR FACTORY REBATES ON MOST NEW MODELS . . . ¢ GMC — Full Size Pickups /Compact Trucks/Safari Vans e 2 FONTIAG — Firefly /Sunbird/Grand Ai K — Skylark /Regal See a Kalawsky Sales Professional Today! m/Tempest/Grand Prix AR or BS Lé Se —_- KALAWSKY PONTIAC BUICK GMC (1989) LTD. —— THE KING OF CARs—— 1700 Columbie Av, 2 Castlegar 365-2155 Collect TRAIL, FRUITVALE, ROSSLAND CUSTOMERS CALL 364-0213 colored skies as Gorbachev and Raisa Stepped on to a red carpet at Canadian Forces Base Uplands.
