The benefit was held last November to help the MP for St-Henri-Westmount cover expenses incurred during his unsuccessful bid for the Lib- eral leadership. The amateur pianist per- formed Broadway show tunes for an audience of 400, including former prime min- isters John Turner and Pi- erre Trudeau. About 600 tic- kets were sold at $150 each or $250 a couple. Now the city wants him to file a return for the event showing how much money he took in. Tax collector Pierre Auger said Johnston must pay a 10-per-cent entertain- ment tax on the net price of each ticket. BCGEU announces merger VANCOUVER (CP) — 500-member B.C. Hospitality Workers’ Union has merged with the 45,000-member B.C. Government Employees’ Union, BCGEU president Norman Richards announced Tuesday. The hospitality workers’ union, which represents workers in hotels, legions and cafeterias, was formed in October 1982 by a group which broke away from the Hotel, Restaurant, Culinary Employees’ and Bartenders’ Union Local 40. Since then it has achieved 16 certifications. Lloyd Toreson, president of the Hospitality Workers, said in a news release that his union began discussing a merger with the BCGEU last summer because it was too small to continue organizing in the hospitality industry by itself. “Our executive board rec- ognized that we would need access to the resources and organizational strength of a larger union like the BCGEU,” said Thoreson. “We also know that the BCGEU is a democratically run union which fairly repre- sents all its members and that too was an important consideration.” hards said his union is pleased with the merger.

Hatfield,caucus meet FREDERICTON (CP) — Premier Richard Hatfield broke off a Council of Maritime Premier’s conference Tues- day to meet with his Conservative caucus after brushing aside rumors that he may resign following allega- tions of possible drug use in 1981. Later, fellow Tories walked brisk- ly and grimly from the meeting, most as tightlipped as their leader. Caucus members went into the meeting wondering about allegations first reported by Southam News and then by other news organizations about an encounter that two former uni- versity students said they had with the premier in 1981. The men, one now living in Halifax and the other in Toronto, said in inter- views with Southam and other news media they and two others were invited to Hatfield's house after meeting him in a Fredericton res- taurant and, once there, used mari- juana and cocaine with him. Hatfield, 53, has refused for two days to comment on the reports. On Tues- day, he laughed and said “I am un- revised and unrepentant” when asked at the premiers’ council meeting in Saint John, N.B., about rumors of an impending resignation. “There are also rumors I have cancer of the throat and athlete's foot,” the veteran premier said. “I have not con- sidered resignation, I don’t think, in my political career.” Going into the caucus meeting, back- bencher Eric Kipping of Saint John North said Hatfield should quit if the reports are true. But after the meeting, he and most others wouldn't say anything. “I am not commenting on that,” Labor Minister Joe Mombourquette said of the allegations. “That's his problem, not mine.” Back-bencher Douglas Moore of Vic- toria-Tobique said he understands people are asking a lot of questions but at this point, “I'm not prepared to give them all the answers.” “All I can say is don't believe every. thing you read in the paper,” Roger (Butch) Wedge, back-bencher from Baie du Vin, shouted at reporters as he left the building. Health Minister Charles Gallagher was asked if he was happy with the leadership. It suits me fine,” he replied. Meanwhile, interim Liberal leader Raymond Frenette told a news con. ference Tuesday that Hatfield should make a statement about the alle gations. “In the interest of all New Bruns- wickers, Premier Richard Hatfield should immediately make a full and satisfactory statement to the people of the province concerning allegations contained in the story,” Frenette said. “It is true the marijuana possession charge was dealt with in court, but we must coment on this new situation.” WAS ACQUITTED In a Fredericton court last week, Hatfield was acquitted on a charge of marijuana possession, which was laid last year when 35 grams of marijuana was found by RCMP in a pocket of his suitease during the Queen's visit to New Brunswick. In Ottawa, John Nunziata, Liberal critie for the Solicitor General's De- partment, raised questions about the handling of the marijuana charges and asked for an independent inquiry. Solicitor General Elmer MacKay turn ed down the request. Nunzata's own handling of the affair came under attack in the Commons on Tuesday from New Democrat’ John Rodriguez, who accused him of abusing MPs’ privileges when he released confidential information about the drug investigation. TORONTO (CP) — Our Native Land and Identities. Major changes were announced Tuesday to CBC radio's fall schedule, including the cancellation of Variety Tonight and the weekly programs CBC radio changes line up Tuesday. Variety Tonight host Vicky Gabereau will be given and FM networks. Its new format will include coverage of theatre, dance and the electronic media, CBC said irplane fuselage, which was set on fire with about 300 And there were suggestions that special program- her own one-hour weekly network program, but her ming and live ge by the gover -owned, commercial-free network may be curtailed because of budget cuts starting in April. At the same time, the CBC announced plans for several new series, i a twohour af “lifestyle” network program to replace more costly, regionally produced shows onCBC Radio, on the AM band in most areas. Reflective of the budget cuts, the new fall schedule emphasizes music over spoken-word programming. The network will start a three-hour pop music show Saturday nights, a late-night classical music program on weekdays and a religious music program Sunday afternoons on CBC Radio. Information programs on sports journalism, medi- cine and business will also be introduced weekday evenings, CBC said. New Democrat MP David Orlikow, commenting in the Commons on the cuts, said CBC radio has strayed from its mandate to provide cultural programming and has become “a grovelling homage to yuppiedom.” WILL BE EXPANDED The literary program Anthologies, which was rumored to be among shows considered for cuts, is being expanded to two hours and will be heard on both the AM ht show will di 5 es for Our Native Land and will be “redii into prime-ti network and regional programs on native affairs and, multiculturalism, said Donna Logan, CBC's information program director. Margaret Lyons, vice-president of CBC English radio networks, said the changes were not the result of the government's decision in November to cut CBC's $896 million in annual federal funds by $75 ion. She insisted the changes have been in the works since September. The network will eliminate 1,150 of its 12,000 positions, including 750 by layoffs, starting in April. of the $75-million cut that radio will few milljon dollars — may mean such laimed Orwell series and live coverage may be reduced “unless some other means of funding can be found.” The network is also considering the creation of a one-hour program on its Radio and Stereo service dealing with “contemporary religion and values.” Robert Weaver, the founding producer of Antholo- gies, will stay on as an adviser of literary programming following his retirement. Lyons said the changes are the biggest in 10 years for radio and will be presented later this month to the CBC board of directors for final approval. Mon. thru Fri.

Airport and border inspec- tors have seized drugs in ex- cess of $120 million since last April, said spokesman Terry Langley. “Hash marijuana, cocaine, heroin and amphetamines have all been seized,” he said. There were two major seizures at Vancouver Inter- national airport in late Jan- uary, he added. A 23-year-old man was ar. rested Jan. 20 after one kilogram of heroin, with an estimated street value of $2 million, was found in a body pack worn around his waist, Langley said. In the other, a 30-year-old woman was arrested Jan. 24 when three kilograms of her- oin, worth about $12 million, was discovered in the false sides of two suitcases. Few drunks arrested OTTAWA (CP) — Police apprehended only 10 to 15 per cent of all drunk drivers and the majority come from house parties, not bars, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police told the Commons justice committee Tuesday. Most arrests are made at roadblocks or by roving offi cers, deputy chief Keith Farraway of the Hamilton Wentworth police force said. He added that officers rarely sit outside licenced estab. lishments waiting for pa trons It would be unfair to target particular bars and hotels for special attention simply be- cause they provide parking lots, he said. Thomas Flanagan, Ot tawa's deputy chief of police, said a roadblock outside a drinking establishment's parking lot would increase apprehensions for one or two nights, but after that people would stop drinking there. Education and changes in Public attitude towards. im. paired driving would do more to reduce the number of drunks on the road than the Proposed changes to the Criminal Code, said Farra. way, while offering his sup- Port for the amendments now before the committee.
