Plenty of
whitefish

Mid-Week Wrap-up

reported

®

The Fisheries Branch in toro
Nelson reports there is an Nonoi
abundance of whitefish in the 4
West Arm at Balfour. K

Regional Fisheries Biolo- *:
gist Harvey Andrusak notes
that survey work conducted
in the Balfour and Sunshine
Bay areas last summer re-
vealed large concentrations
of whitefish.

Juvenile whitefish were
especially abundant in the
shallow area of Sunshine Bay
and adult size fish were pres-
ent in most of the deeper
parts of the upper West Arm, Spoon’. V.

Although kokanee are
closed to fishing in the arm,
fishermen can selectively fish
for whitefish and catch their
limit, he said. Usually white-
fish are found in the deeper
holes where the current is
not too fast.

“Kokanee prefer the faster
water and are usually not
found in the same place as
whitefish,” Andrusak said.
“If a kokanee is caught ac-
cidently then it must be re-
leased. If a fisherman is not
certain where to fish, he can
inquire at the local resorts
who usually know where the
favorite whitefish spots are.”

Andrusak added: “White-
fish fishing seems to get
quite good from mid-March
until May but they can be
caught every month of the
year.”

South Africa named

WASHINGTON (AP) —
South ‘Africa's white-minor-
ity government may have
built as many as a dozen
nuclear weapons which could
fall into the. hands of a
“radical ruling faction” or be
used by terrorists, concludes
an American study released

Tuesday.

The frightening prospect
was raised in a report on the
global spread of nuclear wea-
pons issued by the Carnegie
Endowment for International
Peace.

The report was prepared
by Leonard Spector, an asso-
ciate at the private organ-
ization, who told the U.S.
Senate governmental affairs
committee that “recent (Pro-
liferation) developments are
profoundly troubling.”

Senator John Glenn (D-
Ohio), chairman of the com-
mittee, said at a hearing
called to discuss the report
that the United States must
take steps to “protect both
ourselves and the interna-
tional community from the
global insecurity that arises
from the proliferation of nu-
clear weapons.

Spector's report reviewed
developments around the
giboe which could lead to the

profliferation of nuclear wea-
pons.

Officially, five countries
say they possess nuclear
weapons — the United
States, the Soviet Union,
China, France, and Britain. A
sixth, India, successfully con-
ducted at atomic test in 1974
but isn't believed to have
built a stockpile of weapons.

Several other countries are
believed to either have secret
atomic stockpiles or are able
to produce weapons in short
order, including South Afri-
ca, Israel and Pakistan. None
of the three has publicly
confirmed that it possesses
nuclear weapons.

ADMITS ABILITY

One of the most threat-
ening situations is South
Afrida, Spector said, is that it
has a large natural store of
uranium alng with the ability
to enrich the material to
bomb-grade status.

He said South Africa prob-
ably has been able to build
atomic weapons for the last
six years and may already
possess at least a dozen of
them.

As the black majority in
South Africa struggles for
control, the report saids,
there's the possibility that

atomic weapons “might fall
into the hands of a radical
ruling faction — black or
white — which might use or
threaten to use them to ad-
vance extremist objectives.

“Should domestic -order
crumble,” the report warned,
the weapons or the compon-
ents of weapons could be a
prime target.

In other findings, the re-
port said:

Israel may have acquired
enough nuclear weaponry “to
level every urban centre in
the Middle East” with a pop-
ulation of over 100,000.

e Pakistan may be in a
position to manufacturer all
neecessary .components for
nuclear arms. “A consensus
appears to have emerged
that Pakiston is at the nu-
clear weapons threshold: it
either possesses all of the
components needed to man-
ufacture one or several atom
bombs or else remains just
short of this goal.”

e And, the shah of Iran,
shortly before his ouster in
1979, began work on a

nuclear weapons research
program that presumably
has been inherited by the
government of Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini. Iran is
still far short of a nuclear
weapons capability, partly
because the United States
rejected the shah’s request
for enough research reactor
fuel to build at least one
bomb.

4 4 A 1

In a 245-page study released this week, the human
rights group maintains that capital punishment is stil)
capriciously applied, despite American court rulings
designed to eliminate arbitrary and unfair aspects of the
law,

The report comes as the Conservative government is
clearing the way for Canadian MPs to vote on restoring
the death penalty, abolished by Parliament in 1976.

There have been no executions in Canada since 1962.
For 14 years until abolition, successive federal cabinets
commuted every death sentence that came before them
for review.

Amnesty rey there have been 57 executions in
the United States in the last three years, compared with
11 in the previous years. Another 1,838 prisoners
are waiting to see if they will he electrocuted, gassed,
poisoned, hanged or shot dead.

PLAYS FAVORITES?

More than 40 per cent of those on death row are
black, although blacks and other racial minorities make
up 12 per cent of the overall population. And blacks are
overwhelmingly more likely to be executed if they killed
a white than if they murdered a fellow black.

Of the 68 people executed between 1977 and 1986, 24
of the defendants were black and in 17 of those cases their
victims were white.

The largest category, still consists of whites
convicted of murdering other whites. But no white has
been executed in the last decade for killing a black

Although 87 of the 50 American states have the
death penalty on their books, two-thirds of the executions
im the last 10 years have been in Texas, Georgia and
Florida.

Amnesty notes that in Georgia one black man was
executed while higher courts were reviewing other
Appeals that argued the state death penalty was racially
biased. Another was executed after his lawyer admitted
he had bungled the defence and he had been barred by
state authorities from furtehr

Amnesty says the mentally ill, retarded and
juveniles have been executed in some cases, in apparent
violation of international human rights agreements
signed by the U.S. government.

In deciding whether to charge people with crimes
carrying the death penalty, local prosecutors can also be
swayed by “political considerations, local feeling about
the death penalty and the high costs of capital trials,”
Amnesty says.

A 1976 Supreme Court ruling struck down death
penalty laws in many states on grounds that they were
arbitrary and thus violated constitutional guarantees
against crue] and unusual punishment.

Since then, many states have revised their laws and
the high court, in the opinion of many legal scholars, has
relaxed its standards in reviewing such laws.
