Newspapers reported arrests, con- fessions and trials of officials who defrauded their work units and took bribes, driving home the image that the ruling Communists are involved in a major effort to root out corruption.

The State Tourism Bureau ordered major hotels in Beijing that receive Cable News Network and the American Forces Radio and Television Services to shut down reception of the broadcasts, the officials said. The corruption cases reported today included what the Communist party newspaper People’s Daily called the biggest fraud case in the Chinese capital since the founding of the People’s Republic 40 years ago.

The paper did not indicate when the trial began or whether a verdict was reached. ; At another trial in Shanghai, seven people, including four party members, were charged with cheating the city government's Textile Industry Bureau out of the equivalent of $42,000 Cdn, the Legal Daily said. Led by Liu Zhen, deputy director of the bureau, they charged inflated prices for equipment, concocted bogus expenses and dodged taxes, the paper said. It did not give any results of the trial, which began June 20. Officials in Wuhan, Hubei provin. ce, reported that 13 people have turned themselves in since Jan. 1, including the party secretary of a marine tran- sportation enterprise who confessed in May to accepting bribes the equivalent of $4,200, the Worker’s Daily said Wuhan prosecution authorities ‘‘aré using various channels to promote awareness of laws and consequences of corruption, including rewarding in- formers and protecting them from revenge,”’ the paper said Officials in Chengdu, Sichuan province, also reported achievements in cracking down on corruption in the first half of this year, the Worker’s Daily said without elaborating. 3 Offer!

The spree began when the boys stole a 1983 Lincoln Continental that was left with the motor running in front of their elementary school on Feb. 17 . They drove around ‘‘for their enjoyment" before stealing iden- tification and credit cards from the owner’s wallet and abandoning the car, said Crown prosecutor Orest Yereniuk Decision being appealed REGINA (CP) — A recent court decision that could affect striking workers across the country is being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
