ELEVATOR EXPLOSION LAKE LILLIAN, MINN. (AP) — Highly-combusti ble grain dust may have triggered a grain elevator explosion and fire on Friday that injured six people, three critically, a fire official said. The blast ripped through the-Lake Lillian Farmers Co-operative Elevator, causing buildings in the area to shake and doors to blow open in nearby houses. GUNMEN LEAVE SAN SALVADOR (AP) — Five gunmen who seized 73 hostages in a thwarted robbery, held them for nine hours until the guerrillas were given safe conduct out of the country Saturday — reportedly to Mexico. The rebels left aboard a TACA airlines flight to Mexico at 11:20 a.m. (4:20 p.m. PDT), an airline official said. The flight takes approximately three hours. A Mexican y Official who asked not to be identified confirm je five had left the country. At start of one of the most dramatic rebel exploits in the capital in four years, the guerrillas tried to hold up El Tiempo grocery store on the south side of the capital, but the attempt was foiled when two police cars arrived at the scene. LOTTO CRAZE NEW YORK (AP) — Record sales helped push the biggest lottery jackpot in North American history to at least $20 million as last-minute players lined up throughout the state Saturday for a chance to win the dream pot. The already swollen jackpot was upped to at least $20 million from Friday's $18.5 million because of the volume of players who scrambled to purchase tickets, said state Lottery Director John Quinn. Players snatched up tickets during most of Friday at the rate of 17,000 a minute, or 1.2 million an hour, and were near that level Saturday as the 8 p.m. buying deadline approached, he said. ITALY EXPLOSION FLORENCE, ITALY (AP) — Two explosions ripped through the ground floor of the 15th century Pitti Palace museum in Florence on Saturday, injuring at least 10 people, police said. None of the priceless paintings in the building were damaged. A gas leak was believed to be the cause of the blasts. Among the three people listed as most seriously injured was Mary Versterman, 33, from Chicago, Ill., a current resident of Florence. The two explosions, which occurred almost simul- taneously in the ground floor administrative offices at about 11:25 a.m., blew a hole in a frescoed ceiling and knocked out a main exit door. POPE RETURNS ROME (AP) — Pope John Paul returned from his 11-day Asian tour Saturday determined to continue the worldwide pilgrimages that have made him the most widely traveled pontiff in history. “The Pope should be a pastor, he should travel, he should visit, he should be with the people,” John Paul told reporters on his flight home from Bangkok. The 63-year-old Pope looked fit and rested despite a demanding dawn-to-dusk schedule in four Pacific coun- tries that included more than 40 speeches and dozens of ceremonies. CHERNENKO FIT . MOSCOW (AP) — Sources in the delegation with visiting Spanish King Juan Carlos said President Konstantin Chernenko appeared to be ill last week, but the Soviet leader looked fit at a later pubtic appearance. The conflicting impressions are typical of the specu- lation that has surrounded the issue of Chernenko's health since he took office as party chief and head of state. Chernenko, 72, was seriously ill with pheumonia last year and failed to attend the May Day celebration on Red Square. Economy may be slipping By NORMA GREENAWAY OTTAWA (CP) — Oppo- sition MPs pointed Friday to higher borrowing costs and a continued high jobless rate as signs the economy could be lapsing back into recession, but Employment Minister John Roberts said there is no reason to panic. Several cabinet ministers, including Prime Minister Trudeau, came under attack by Conservatives and New Democrats who said the higher interest rates will worsen an already grim em ployment picture. Roberts and Roy Mac- Laren, minister of state for finance, rebutted opposition charges that the govern- ment’s job-creation measures have failed. The sparring — laced with political jibes about the Lib- eral leadership race and re- cent polls showing the Lib- erals and Conservatives neck-and-neck in popularity — was prompted by news the jobless rate had stuck at 11.4 per cent in April for the second consecutive month. The Statistics Canada re- port that almos. 1.5 million Canadians were officially job- less in April capped a rough week for the government, al- ready under fire because of recent increases in borrow- ing costs on everything from IN B.C. AND ALBERTA business loans to mortgage rates. Roberts conceded later that the latest jobless figures are cause for concern, but he said there is no reason to panic. However, New Democrat Nelson Riis and James Mc. Grath, Conservative employ ment critic, said in inter views that the latest jobless figures, coupled with higher interest rates, show that the recovery is stalled and the country could be slipping back into recession. MISSES DEBATE Finance Minister Mare La londe, who has taken most of the recent heat over the economy, was not in the Commons and will be away again next week attending meetings in Europe. He had indicated, however, that efforts will be made at the annual meeting of the 24- member Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris to per suade the United States to take steps to at least prevent further interest rate in- creases. But Riis urged Trudeau to act now and allow Canadian interest rates to fall by faxing speculators who would shift their money out of the country to take ad- vantage of higher interest Parks could be heritage sites CALGARY (CP) — Can- ada’s four mountain national parks likely will be desig. nated World Heritage sites by the United Nations Edu cational, Scientific and Cul- tural Organization this sum- mer, says a Parks Canada of- ficial. “We're pretty optimistic that it will go through,” Jim Hartley, chief of park man- agement planning for the Parks Canada western region office, said Friday. The parks are Banff and Jasper in Alberta and Koot- enay and Yoho in British Columbia. “The significance of the designation, in addition to the prestige, is that it dem onstrates Canada’s interest in promoting conservation internationally,” Hartley said. “And it reminds Can- adians that these resources are internationally signifi- cant.” Yoho National Park's Bur gess Shale already is a world heritage site. The Burgess Shale contains the fossilized remains of more than 120 species, many of which are unique. Hartley said there are sev- eral other sites within the parks worthy of international recognition and Parks Can ada officials ‘decided to apply for a regional designation be- cause of an apparent ten- dency by the organization “to look at larger blocks of land rather than individual sites.’ Informal discussions wit! organization officials have occurred over the last six months, but a formal presen- tation will not be made until next month. Appeal for Indian gains little WICHITA, KAN. (CP) — Supporters of a Manitoba Sioux Indian convicted of murdering his adoptive American father were bit- terly disappointed Friday father, a white bachelor. Native leaders said it high- lighted the worst consequen ces of exporting adoptive children to homes outside of when their appeal for len- iency won only a slight re- duction of his 18-years-to-life sentence. Cameron Kerley, 20, was sentenced in January after pleading guilty to beating his adoptive father, Dick Kerley, to death with a baseball bat in Wichita last September. The case gained national attention after it was re- vealed that Kerley had been sexually abused by his “We could have stood on our heads, it wouldn't have mattered,” Tim Maloney, a member of the Dakota Ojib- way Tribal Council delega- tion, told a Winnipeg Free Press reporter while in Wich- ita to testify on behalf of Kerley. At a hearing where Judge Robert Helsel was to con sider a reduction of the sen- tence, Maloney and Sioux Valley councillor Frank Mc- ACCORDING TO SURVEY Kay made an emotional bid for a sentence of from five to 20 years. “I don’t think Cameron can be excused . . . but J think surely to God there is, jpstice and humanitarian consider- ations to be taken into ac- count,” Maloney told the judge. Kerley was originally sen- tenced to 15 years to life for murder, plus an additional three to 10 years for a 1982 aggravated burglary convic- tion, for which he had ori- ginally been given a sus- pended sentence. The judge ordered that his murder and burglary sen- tences be served concur rently instead of consecu- tively. This means Kerley is eligible for parole in 10 years instead of 12'/: to 13 years. In making his decision, the Helsel said he believed there are Indian children who face similar problems who have never broken the law. Kerley, who learned of the results of the hearing while in a jail cell at Kansas State Industrial Reformatory, told reporters he was not con- soled by the reduction in the sentence. “It makes no difference whether it's 15 to life or 18 to life,” Kerley said. Turner holds lead on Chretien OTTAWA (CP) — John Turner i to hold a cations he is leading other substantial lead over Energy Minister Jean Chretien among delegates picked dur- ing the last five weeks for the Liberal leadership conven- tion, figures compiled by The Canadian Press indicate.

The figures could radically change in the coming weeks as delegates shift allegiances and the undecided ones pick a candidate. ‘Among the 3,500 conven- tion delegates, about 2,500 rates in the United States. He asked why the govern ment would oppose such a move when it does not hesi. tate to penalize drunk dri vers and polluters. Trudeau ridiculed the an alogy and accused Riis of suggesting that Canadians who engage in the “not un virtuous” occupation of sav ing money should be treated like people who drive drunk or pollute the environment. Roberts and MacLaren de fended the government's job- creation record, saying 260,000 permanent jobs had been added to the economy since April 1983, thanks to federal incentives aimed largely at promoting job growth in the private sector. Rather than focusing only on the negative, the opposi- tion should be a “bit more as- sured and slightly more cheerful” that the rate did not increase last month, Roberts said. McGrath insisted there were still 145,000 fewer Can. adians with jobs than during the pre-recession peak of June 1981 and that the gov ernment should take econo mic measures to encourage job growth. Lost brother a chess player TORONTO (CP) — After a 40-year separation, an East German woman has traced her brother through the Red Cross. 5 But she might have found him sooner if she read the Guinness Book of World Rec- ords, which lists Josef Smolij as the world’s fastest chess player. Smolij, a familiar sight on a downtown Toronto street corner where he takes on all comers at chess for a dollar a game, was delighted by the indirect contact with his sis- ter, Olga Seiler. “It’s a miracle of miracles,” he said. “How could my sister find me after 40 years? How did the Red Cross know I was in Canada? This is a surprise for me.” Millie Blair of the Red Cross tracing and reunion division said it took more than a year to track down Smolij in Toronto because he has no telephone. His sister has no phone either, but Blair said a letter has been sent to her to in- form her of her brother's ad- dress. Smolij said he will write to her but was afraid he may never see her again because of the cost of a trip overseas. His only income is the money he charges for chess games — mostly with tour- ists and students. He gives 10-1 odds, meaning he must pay out $10 whenever he loses a game. But those times are rare. Riis says NDP is getting support OTTAWA (CP) — New Democrat Leader Ed Broad bent would likely have to step down if the party doesn’t make a signi handsomely,” he said in a ra- dio interview with Standard Broadcast News taped for broadcast today. The ham-Global poll, gain in the next general elec tion, NDP MP Nelson Riis has suggested. But if the party fares as well as Riis expects, “It would be silly for Mr. Broad bent to step down.” Riis, the party's finance critic, says the party’s own polling shows favorable re- sults despite a poll funded by Southam News and the Glo- bal television network show- ing the NDP at a low 9.5 per cent, less than half the sup- port garnered after the last election in 1980. “Our polls tell us that the work we've been doing over come from the 282 federat~the last four years as mem- ridings and most of the re- mainder have automatic stat- us because of their position in the party. bers of Parliament, travelling into the areas, raising the is- sues, holding public meet- ings, have probably paid off done in conjunction with Carleton University and re- leased Thursday, was based on telephone interviews with 1,490 people across the coun- try May 4-8. It also showed the Conservatives and Liber- als are neck and neck with roughly 45-per-cent support among decided voters. PARTY HOVERS NDP popularity has been hovering around 13 per cent in Gallup polls, prompting speculation Broadbent's lead- ership is in trouble. “I think it would be silly for Mr. Broadbent to think of stepping down with a signi- ficant gain in seats (in the next election). However, if that doesn’t occur, I suspect like any political leader, the writing is on the wall.”
