But he backed McLaughlin after the second batlot and she eventually won on the fourth, De Jong said today he had decided after a Saturday morning meeting with advisers to free his delegates and publicly back no one should he fall off the ballot, hoping to ‘play a bridging role between the competing can- didates.”* Making his way back to the conven- tion hall from that meeting, however, he was hustled into Barrett's backroom, where a conversation took place that was later broadcast “While I certainly had not intended to suggest that any kind of deal had been struck, I can understand fully when Dave was left with the im- pression that an agreement had been arrived at,’’ he said. “I deeply regret my failure to com- municate."* His caucus colleagues accepted his explanation today and offered “their understanding and support,” de Jong said For her part, McLaughlin was an emerald green blurjas she blew by reporters into the ¢aucus meeting, refusing to comment on the de Jong episode but giving a brief peptalk in- side during a photo opportunity. Leak ‘accurate’, CBC says OTTAWA (CP) — People got an earful on a backroom deal gone wrong at the New Democratic Party leader- ship-convention-because-of a‘‘100-p- er-cent accurate electronic leak,” a senior CBC executive said Tuesday. Mark Staroxicz, executive producer of The Journal, said in an .nterview that Regional MP Simon de Jong was fully instructed how to use a small microphone clipped to his clothing to help a Journal crew record the inside ~ workings of aconvention. Starowicz said The Journal's use of a recording in which de Jong met December 6, 1989 Briefly Landing system wanted sooner TERRACE (CP) — Airport officials want an impréved landing system installed ahead of schedule because of the Skylink Airlines crash last September. Joe 2 said y officials will press Tran- sport Minister Benoit Bouchard for a microwave landing system in 199! It’s currently scheduled for installation in 1996. Zucchiatti said the system will make the Terrace airport safer, which could also result in economic benefits. The airport is often plagued by fog, requiring planes to land elsewhere. Zucchiatti said the microwave system will allow planes to land in fog, which might convince local industry to switch to air transport for workers and supplies. A Skylink twin-engine aircraft crashed near the airport Sept. 26, killing all seven people aboard. The cause of the crash is still being in- vestigated, although Skylink’s operating licence was cancelled for alleged safety violations. Train sets new speed record TOURS, France (AP) — A new passenger t set the world record Tuesday for the highest speed on rails, rocketing along at 482 kilometres an hour, the French national railroad announced. The train, carrying no passengers, broke the record of 407 km-h set in May 1988 by an Inter-City Experimental locomotive in West Germany. Tuesday’s record was set on a section of track in the wine-growing Loire Valley due to come into service next year with the TGV Atlantic ser- vice linking northwestern French cities with the sleek, high-speed train. Comaneci discusses her plans HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (Reuter) — Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci, star of the 1976 Montreal Olympics, said she plans to move in with an already-married boyfriend who hy her escape from Romania last week, She also wants to make a film of her life story. Comaneci, 28, arrived in Miami from New York on Monday. She spent the night with Constantin Panait, 34, a Romanian exile who lives just north of Miami, and has a wife and four children there. Comaneci escaped from Romania through Hungary a week ago with six other defectors. On Tuesday, she told a news conference that Panait was waiting for her on the Hungarian side of the border She said she met Panait at a party two years ago. When asked at the news conference whether she knew he is married, Comaneci replied: “*Yes. So what?’* ‘ Neptune winds found fastest SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Photos taken by Voyager 2 show Nep- tune has the fastest winds yet seen in the solar system, and reveal one to four more active, geyser-like volcanoes spewing nitrogen ice on the moon Trigon, scientists said. Neptune's jet-stream winds push frozen natural-gas clouds past the north edge of the planet's Earth-sized, hurricane-like Great Dark Spot at about 2,400 kilometres an hour, said Edward Stone, chief scientist for NASA's Voyager project. That’s about the speed of sound in Neptune’s atmosphere. “*These are the fastest (winds) we’ ve observed,"’ easily exceeding the previous record winds of 1,785 km-h in Saturn’s jet stream, Stone said ata news conference during the American Geophysical Union’s fall meeting CP announced share strategy t MONTREAL (CP) — Canadian Pacific, one of the country’s cor- potate giants, has adopted a ‘‘poison pill’’ strategy to ward off a hostile SAFEWAY (S We bring tt all together MEAT SALE RUMP ") ROAST Or Outside Round Roast * Boneless Cut from Canada ® Grade A Beet Limit in Effect ROAST Standing Beef ¢ Bone-in in Effect.

LECTION behind closed doors between battor with opponent Dave Barrett — unaware he was not speaking privately — to discuss a deal was a legitimate news-gathering technique. It was,‘‘absolutely done with the prior consent and clear instruction of everyone and with the very clear and transparent presence” of a television crew recording the event, he said. De Jong, who, finished fourth behind eventual winner Audrey McLaughlin, was recorded talking to Barrett between the first and second ballots. In the private meeting in the bowel’s of a Winnipeg convention centre, de Jong apparently accepted a deal to ally himself with Barrett in exchange for an appointment as party whip, after which the two men shook hands. After The Journal aired the item, de Jong denied he had made any deal with Barrett to trade support for the whip’: job Starowicz said de Jong had been told how to turn the device on and off and could not account for the MP’s recollection of the event. “What we have here is a 100-per- cent accurate electronic leak,’’ Starowicz said. De Jong’s support late in the day added enough momentum to McLaughlin’s campaign that she was able to narrowly defeat Barrett on a fourth ballot.
