Special E Squad Prepared
For Cycie Gang Visits

Motorcycle gangs from
western Canada and the U.S,
will pose a security problem in
B.C, this summer, the head of a
special RCMP unit assigned to
bikers said last week.

Cpl. Don Brown, in charge
of the six-man surveillance
team Special E Squad, sald in
an interview the outside clubs
will combine with local gangs
on weekend rides.

“Clubs realize 100 bikers
look more impressive than 20,"
he said, “When they ride into a
town which is hostile to bikers,
they can put up more resis-
tance,”

Clubs which police will ob-
serve closely this summer in-
clude the. Rebels and War
Lords of Edmonton and the
King’s Crew, Grim Reapers and
Minority out of Calgary.

Farther east are the Los
Bravos and Spartans from
Winnipeg, while south of the
border are California’s Ravens,
the Oregon and Washjngton
Ghost Riders and the Brothers
Speed from Idaho.

Brown said the outside
gangs are considered the
troublemakers when they. com-
bine on rides with B.C.'s largest
clubs: Satan's Angels, formerly
Vancouver-based but now

Sun Myung Moon
Not Tax Exempt

A New York city tax
board, claiming that the activi-
ties of the church led by the

* Rev. Sun Myung Moon are not
exclusively religious, has re-
jected an application for tax
exemption on property worth
more than $2.6 million, it was
learned last week.

Informed sources said the

: exemption was rejected by a

+ 43 vote.

: The majority found the

: church was threaded with

. political motives and activities,

+ and thereby failed to meet the
legal requirement that the
property be used

They also concluded that
Moon and his followers actively
supported President Richard
Nixon's efforts to remain in the
White House and were behind
many programs that would
have benefitted the govern-
ment of South Korea.

The majority also cited as

-spread th shout the Lower

Council to Oversee
University Programs

A special council has been
established to oversee the
development and delivery of
university programs to centres
outside metropolitan . Vancou-
ver and Victoria, Education
Minister Pat’ McGeer an-

+ nounced last week.

Tricluded in the council's
ities will be i ie

from existing public’ univers-
ities to be offered in the
Interior,

The programs would lead
to degrees from the. existing
public universities.

The co-ordinating council:

was established, McGeer said,
as an outgrowth of the recent.

Mainland, Gypsy Wheelers of
Surrey-White Rock and 101
Knights‘of Nanaimo-Powell
River.

He explained that. some
bikers with hunting permits
will legally carry shotguna on
their $3,500-plus machines.

“We are aware of the po-
tential but there is nothing we
can do. And we don't care as
long as they keep the peace.”

“Bome people are really
aghast when a group of big
bikers come into town,” he said,
“When a group is drinking in
their town, attracting attention
or talking to thelr womentolk,
there can be trouble. And a
biker never backs down from
trouble."

Members of E Squad who
travel in cars behind the clubs
on weekend rides are often
forced to step in to prevent
local residents from starting a
fight.

Brown says police recruits
will be on standby this summer
to quell any problems which

may occur. In fact, the knowl- ©

edge. that eventually: more
police than bikers can be sum-
moned, prompts’ gangs to
generally keep a low. profile.
He added that, despite.the
available police, an increase in,
bikers from outside the ‘pro-
vince this summer will create a
greater threat than last year.
While most clubs have member-
ships of 15 to 20 each, any club
could triple -its ranks at. any
time through close friends.
Brown explained that
bikers with their long hair,
beards and Aa dress cause
at

gathering and traveling the,

country.

‘A spokesman for the pro-
vince wrote that while a special
squad of RCMP officers follows
major motorcycle gangs on
thelr travels, once inside a city
or town the gang becomes the
responsibility of the local police
or. RCMP detachment. .-

Mayor Louls Maglio asked
council to’ send a resolution to
the Association of Kootenay-
Boundary Municipalities, say-
ing if it is endorsed by that
group it will go on to the Union
of B.C. Municipalities.

brought them out ‘early ‘so

Tim Roark, public health
inspector for the Ladner-Fsaw-

Mosquito complaints are
coming in several weeks earlier

have inereased as much as.25

The same conditions,. say

the experts, could mean a °

which in turn would mean more
