Friends and VANCOUVER (CP) — Long-term peace talks involving the Attorney General's Ministry and the various Doukhobor groups in the Kootenays are not being harmed by individual acts of arson, says the civil servant co-ordinating the discussions. Arson involving members of the tiny, radical Sons of Freedom sect are increasingly isolated, individual acts, said Greg Cran, Kootenay special projects officer with the ministry. in a Doukhobor historic village in Castlegar last Sunday “doesn't hinder us in any way,” Cran said. For the last six years, Cran has worked full-time as secretary of the Kootenay Committee on Intergroup Relations, set up in 1979 by then attorney-general Garde Gardom. . Cran said in a telephone interview from Cranbrook the committee ii to meet with repr ives of all three Doukhobor groups: Orthodox, Reformed and Sons of Freedom. For most of this century, the Freedomites have used arson to express their rejection of property and what they consider icon worship. The Orthodox group now is by far the largest, with several thousand members, primarily in the Grand Forks area. The Reformed group, about 1,000 strong, comprises former Freedomites who have renounced the concept of arson, bombings and public nudity. “continue despite fire Evena high-profile fire that: destroyed four buildings—participants, he said, they-still attend meetings and are Officials of the Orthodox and the Reformed groups signed an. ag last April, ing past burnings and bombings, agreeing to deter those. who advocate “violent acts,” and ‘promising to keep participating in the committee. The Freedomites refused to sign the pact, saying they had outstanding issues to resolve first, said Cran. Although Sons of Freedom representatives on the committee have-acted more as observers than as working toward a possible agreement. Cran said recent fires, Sunday's museum blaze among them, do not appear to be harming that process, and only small numbers of Sons of Freedom members appear to be involved. As recently as 1977, 29 Sons of Freedom stood trial simultaneously on arson charges. Only one person has been charged in the’ museum fire. “We see the fires as isolated incidents,” he said. “They don't appear to be operating on behalf of the group; they're operating on behalf of themselves.” Cran said the museum had been an arson target twice before. “For 10 years, the museum was not as issue at all among the Sons of Freedom. Then, all of a sudden, in the 1980s, they claim it's an icon.” Cran, 35, said he considers the job “a long-term assignment.” FOR SALEWSKI FUNIDNG - Decision reserved By CasNews Staff A B.C.

The change in nuclear readiness came over the last two years, writes William Arkin, an Institute for Policy Studies researcher, in an article to be published Monday in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. As evidence, he cited an October 1983 Munitions Bulletin published by the headquarters of U.S. Air Forces in Europe. It recently’ was obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. 3 STILL MISSING LISBON (AP) — A station master has. been blamed by Portuguese government officials for causing ‘the head-on collision of two speeding passenger trains in which at least 52 people died.

A Paris-bound express-full of migrant workers slammed into a local train, and the wrecked coaches were engulfed in flames. U.S. BAN TORONTO (CP) — The United States has banned foreign repairman, including Canadians, from entering the country to fix machinery made abroad unless no American worker is available.

Negotiations among the three parties are to resume Monday on what form: the committee_should_take-.and... develop. for. what evidence it should hear. Turner said the committee should have the broadest possible terms of reference, have the power to summon witnesses and place them under oath and perhaps be assisted by a staff of legal and economic experts.

The final cost to taxpayers of the Canadian Commercial collapse and continuing troubles at Northland. Bank could be $1 billion. On another matter, Turner announced the Liberals will campaign a policy” aimed. at ensuring “anyone legitimately trying to find a job in this country can find it.” Turner was unable to say how many people the policy might cover but noted Stat- istics Canada says 1.3 million are officially unemployed while thousands more are so discouraged they . don't bother looking for work. ‘GOODNESS KNOWS’ “Goodness knows what the figure is.” : However, he cautioned the “full employment policy” is not a promise of full employ- ment but.a commitment to work toward it. = The policy is to be devel- oped by a committee headed by Montreal MP Warren All- showing ‘weakness’ JOHANNESBURG (CP) — President P.W.

Suzuki, who has been a host of numerous CBC pro- grams focusing on science, said in an address to a con- vention of the Certified Gen- eral Accountants of British Columbia in this southeast- ern city, said the suggestion was ridiculous. “The CBC becomes some- thing that is so precious to us as we hear more and more talk by this (federal) govern- ment and by the provincial government of opening up the floodgates to the Ameri- cans,” he said. “I think it is absolutely in- sane for anyone to say that the CBC is not a funda- mentally-important thing to this country. And I hope that no member of the electorate will let a man get away with that kind of a statement.” Suzuki said questioning the usefulness of the CBC is sheer ignorance. “For anyone to even ask if the CBC is useful is to display an ignor- ance that I just can’t ima- ine.” “ Suzuki likened the CBC's current role to the one played by a national railway. By BRIAN KENNEDY VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia Premier Bill Bennett will need to muster all the salesmanship he learned from his late father W.A.C. Bennett — a hardware salesman-turned B.C. premier — to woo California into coming to Expo 86. Bennett leaves for a five-day visit to California Monday, where he will spend five days trying to persuading businessmen to raise $1 million so their state can participate in Expo 86. He also will promote the benefits of purchasing power from British Columbia. The state has put up $1.5 million for a pavilion at Expo, but needs an equal amount from the private sector in cash, products and services. So far, only $500,000 has been raised. If the full amount isn't pledged by next month, California might not have a pavilion at the world's communications and transportation fair. Bennett said he can lend a hand in raising the money “by showing their business community while I'm down there that it’s good business for them to make sure California has a pavilion in which their industry is highlighted.” However, while Bennett and Expo officials are confident about California's participation, the corporate world is not overly eager to contribute. “Corporations are gun-shy after the U.S. world’s fair experiences in New Orleans and Knoxville,” said Allen Goldstein, who is managing the project for Californ “We've not received great ovations from them but we continue to identify the support and stimulate Expo officials say California's participation would increase attendance and help promote the fair to the state’s-25 million residents. MEETS GOVERNOR. The premier will meet with California Gov. George Deukmejian, Fred Hartley, the U.S. Commissioner- General for Expo, and other senior officials connected with the fair during his visit which takes him from Sacramento to Los Angeles with a stopover in San Francisco. While Expo appears to be the most urgent matter on this trip, Bennett and his entourage — including B.C. Hydro chairman Chester Johnson, will also try to sell surplus power to the state. Jjeves_the province has “a unique opportunity” to turn 1s dbundant—-fresh—water_into hydroelectric power and get American dollars to pay Tor it. “It is the policy of this government to pursue more power sales in order to facilitate further construction and a security of supply.” said Bennett, whose father was responsible for spurring most of British Columbia's hydroelettric development, while he was premier for 20 years. His son has suggested building a 900-megawatt dam on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. with export contracts covering the construction costs. Bennett will meet with the chairman of the California Energy Commission and business leaders to discuss future power sales. The premier will also meet the president of Toyota and tour a GM-Toyota plant in Freemont, Calif., as well as speak at the University of California at Berkeley, the Los Angeles press club and the Los Angeles World Affairs Council.
