(AP) — The founder and former director of the California Boys Choir has been sentenced to eight years in prison for molesting several of his choirboys during a summer symposium last year. While Douglas Neslund, 40; was not found to have engaged in “heavy” sexual offences with the boys — who ranged in age from nine to 12 — Superior Court Judge George Grover said he decided against probation because Neslund had breached the trust placed in him by the boys’ parents. Charges were filed after eight choirboys who left the summer symposium alleged molestation by Neslund and a junior counsellor RETURN TO EARTH MOSCOW (AP) — Three Soviet cosmonauts, including the first woman to make a spacewalk, prepared Saturday to return to Earth after 10 days aboard the orbiting Salyut-7 space station, Radio Moscow said. The broadcast did not say when the team would begin the descent. Soviet space missions usually return to Earth with a dry landing in central Asia.

STRIKE CALLED OFF DUBLIN (AP) — Bartenders in the Irish capital have called off — temporarily at least — a planned strike against about 700 area pubs, giving cheer to Dubliners enduring one of the hottest and driest summers on record. A joint statement by the 3,500-member bartenders’ union and the Irish Licensed Vintners Association was issued today just six hours before the normal pub opening time saying the walkout had been postponed pending fresh talks next week. The announcement came after four hours of talks Friday night at a Dublin hotel among representatives of the union, the pub owners association and officials of the Irish Labor court GALLUP DIES PRINCETON. N.J. (AP) — George Gallup, founder of the Gallup poll, has died at his summer home in Tschingel, Switzerland, a close associate said Friday. He was 82. Gallup, whose widely used polls were circulated through about 100 newspapers in the United States and Canada, apparently died of a heart attack, said Sarah Van Allen, Gallup's assistant “Everybody is very moved because he loved everybody; he meant a lot to everybody here,” Van Allen said DEPORATION DELAYED SPOKANE, WASH. (AP) — The deportation of a Canadian dental technician has been delayed until next spring, following a request by congressional subcom. mittee for a report on the case. Russell Williams, formerly of Penticton, is however, still under a court order to seek permanent residency papers by Oct. 10. The case stems from a 1980 ruling by the immi gration service that Williams had no right to open his own business after leaving the employ of a dentist who peti tioned to get him into the country CLARK HEARTENED FREDERICTON (CP) — Former prime minister Joe Clark says he is heartened by Friday's Gallup poll, which showed the Liberals holding a nine-point lead over the Conservatives among decided voters. Clark told reporters that the party's 39 per cent is a full three per cent better than the poll he took when the Tories formed a government in 1979 The party that is in serious trouble is the NDP, he said. He predicted the New Democrats will lose their western support HINCKLEY CURED? WASHINGTON (AP) — John Hinckley says he's cured of the mental illness that caused him to shoot President Reagan in 1981, and he is asking to be released from a Washington mental hospital “I am ready now,” Hinckley told the federal judge who committed him to St. Elizabeths Hospital after a jury found him innocent by reason of insanity in the assas- sination attempt.

The last ar lated fire occurred about 10 days ago. All were their base camp on a ridge near this BC. community this week when the forest fire they had been comatting swept down on them. The crew left everything behind in scrambling down the mountainside ahead of the blaze. The fire, still out of control Friday, turned on the crew suddenly Thursday night. They had to abandon the camp immediately, said Ted McArthur, operations supervisor for the Golden forest district. Several firefighters did not even have time to put on their boots, leaving them behind on the fire-swept ridge, he said. “It was close,” McArthur said. “There was no danger of the crew being burned up but they lost all their gear.” The fire is one of two burning out of control in the tinder-dry Golden area and one of 12 throughout the province still uncontrolled, according to the B.C. Forest Ser. vice. Bate said that, from Thurddily to Priday, 318 new fires were spotted. Of those, 307 were caused by Hghtning. The rest were man-caused. There are now 480 fires still burning in the province CONTACTED RCMP In the East Kootenays, the forest service has called on the RCMP for assistance in investigating up to 10 fires that brought under control. Ross Tozer, forest district manager, said there are no leads on who is starting the fires. All the firest have been in piles of logging slash and have been brought under control “within a couple of acres,” he said. There are campfire bans in effect, but if the temper atures remain high into next week the forest service will consider a total recreational and industrial closure in the East Kootenays. In the Fraser Canyon, Okanagan and Burns Lake areas, the fire hazard is rated extreme. In the Vancouver area, the Surrey fire department can celled Friday all outdoor burning permits unti] further notice Some 14,000 hectares have gone up in smoke since the fire season began.

Turner later admitted “it's clear I've overstated what Mr. Mulroney said,” but by then the damage was done. He had insisted earlier his claim was correct, saying “that’s the quote that we got.” But press secretary Dennis Baxter, admitting there was no such quote, said the conclusion was an inference drawn by putting together two separate statements Mulroney made in May 1983 and last February. In 1983, Mulroney is quoted as telling an Ottawa columnist that public servants would be fired unless they carried out a new government's wishes with “total enthusiasm.” Then, nine months later, he told Nova Scotia Con. servatives: “I think it is illusory to believe that everybody in Ottawa, 600,000 public servants all told, but particularly the small group on the top, would welcome us with unbridled enthusiasm. Maybe some enthusiasm but not unbridled.” Reporters asked whether that meant 600,000 civil servants would be fired but Baxter adamantly defended his boss. “The inference is — and I don’t know why you can't understand this — the inference is right from these lines: (if they have) no enthusiasm for his government's wishes, they'd be fired.” However, confronted with the quotas later, Turner admitted the error. His original statement was based on érroneous briefing notes, he said. By that time he seemed so rattled that, after saying he knew how many civil servants there really are, he was unable to give any figure.

CATHARINES, ONT. (CP) — Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney, saying the wine industry is in a “state of crisis,” promised Saturday that a Tory government would buy the industry's surplus crop this year. But Mulroney, who said unfair foreign competition and federal taxes are behind the problem, would not spell out how much he is willing to spend to rescue grape grow. ers and wind producers. He acknowledged that the Liberal government has al- ready committed itself to taking up to 30,000 tonnes of surplus grapes, but said Lib- eral proposals do not go far enough “Today, I give you my per. sonal commitment to sction,” region. Liberal MP Al MacBain announced Thursday at his nomination meeting in Nia gara Falls that the federal government is prepared to $12 million purchase the grape surplus. Mulroney said a federal excise tax on wines, which each year, has had a devastating rises automatically effect on domestic wine sales. In the first five months of 1984, national sales of do mestie wine dropped by seven per cent, while sales of imported wine rose by eight per cent, he said ALTER TAX HIKES The excise tax increases “This is something you look at with great reluctance at the last possible moment after all other means have failed.” Earlier, Mulroney opened an election campaign office for Shirley Martin, the party's candidate in the Ham- ilton-area riding of Lineoin. The riding was held by Liberal MP Bryce Mackasey, named Canadian ambassador to Portugal in a controversial round of patronage appoint- ments by Prime Minister Turner As Mulroney cut a blue ribbon opening Martin's of. fice, he again denounced the probation April 22, 1983, af ter a burglary conviction, Of ficer Scott Gilliam said.

Each will later be fitted with an artificial leg. CHANGES SEX Because of the shared gen. italia, the operation will have to change the sex of at least one of the twins. Doctors have said the parents would decide the matter with med Children and organizer of their trip; a nurse from the hospital; and Nang Yin, a Burmese nurse who took six months training at the Hos pital for Sick Children in 1964 Conjoined twins have been separated twice before at the hospital, but both sets were joined at the chest and upper abdomen and had fewer com plicating features. Surgery in 1966 separated three-month-old twin girls Sherri Lee and Crystal Ann McGee, but Sherri Lee died eight hours later. Crystal Ann died of other causes later in childhood. Nine-day-old Kristen and Heather (their family name was never released at the parents’ request) were suc cessfully separated in 1971.

Meanwhile, Norm Atkins, co-chairman of the Conser- vative campaign, said the Tories benefitted by having the television debates early in the campaign rather than near the Sept. 4 election date. A debate late in the cam- paign “just reinforces the support that you have got,” Atkins said in an interview with Selkirk News Service. Last week's debates gave the large number of un decided voters a chance to ‘make an assessment” of the leaders, he said. The most recent Gallup poll suggests the Liberals have 48-per-cent support te 39 per cent for the Con- servatives. However, 38 per cent of those surveyed said they would not or could not say who they will vote for.
