He rejected Reagan's offer to meet in New York during a special United Nations ses- , sion in June, saying a super- power summit should not be incidental to another forum. _ At the White House in Washington, spokesman Larry Speakes said Reagan continues to express hope he can meet Brezhnev in New York in June, when the two are expected: to attend the UN special session on arms reduction.

Waterland told the annual meeting of the Council of Forests Industries that in- dustry must be as innovative and flexible in its operations as the ministry has been in its administration. He ‘chastized the larger companies for “hanging around” while the smaller improved equipment and pro- duced. higher-value products in an effort to survive. “One day the big compan- ies will owe their continuing profitability to innovations now on the drawing board in some small or medium-sized operations,” Waterland said.

It is _ thought to have four nuclear- powered submarines in the zone, with the lead vessels of a powerful British armada about a week away. The Defence Ministry de- clined comment on whether it based its certainty that A- gentine vessels were not in the blockade zone on U.S. intelligence reports. But U.S. officials denied reports that Washington was giving Argentine intelligence on the approach of the British fleet toward. the Falklands, even ‘though ‘other kinds 'of intelligence were supplied in keeping with U.S. efforts to remain even-handed. The U.S. embassy in Lon- don said the United States was not giving Argentina satellite intelligence.

The questions are con- tained in a 16-page confi- dential survey conducted for ICBC by a Winnipeg com- pany, Delphi Consulative Surveys and Research Ltd. The survey asks: “Would you guess that ICBC's rates for the average B.C. driver would increase faster, or more slowly, or about the same, during the next three to five years with a Social Credit government in power in Victoria? An NDP gov- ernment? A Conservative government? A Liberal gov- ernment?” ICBC spokesman Bev Pen- hall and Delphi president Arthur Gillman denied in in- terviews that there was any- thing political about the sur- vey and said the question was one of several designed to measure general attitudes in. a sophisticated survey technique. But Opposition ICBC critic Ernie Hall said it is “ob- viously a loaded question for the (Socred) political mas- ters.” The Surrey MLA said he saw little wrong with “a corporation in as much trou- ble as ICBC” canvassing its customers to find out how service could be improved. But he said Crown corpor- ations should jealously guard themselves against being used by government to ga- ther other kinds of informa- tion. Penhall said 600 to 700 people were interviewed per- sonally for the survey in” January and February. Cost of the survey and the results, which have just been an- alyeets are confidential, he said Gillman said questions about the legality of mari- juana and gambling are used to measure attitudes toward taking risks, an important factor when it comes to in- surance. The question about a possible depression yields information about consu- mers’ attitude toward the economy, providing a glimpse at likely spending patterns, he said. Participants who com- pleted the survey were re- warded with two free lottery tickets, which a covering let- ter described as “a token of our appreciation.” Gillman said such inducements are common and that the tickets were purchased at market value for distribution.
