CosNews photo McCARTHY continued from front page Socred leadership convention in August 1986. Smith was second. McCarthy said she couldn't be part of the new cabinet “because I have found more interference and more arrogance from unelected people than I have ever found in any time that I have ever been in a place_of responsibility, in the last 18 months.” She had been particularly critical of the role played by Vander Zalm's principal secretary, David Poole, in the sale of the Expo lands in downtown Vancouver. Vander Zalm said he regretted McCarthy's decision not to take the cabinet position of minister of tourism, provincial secretary and responsibility for multicultural affairs — a job he described as tailer-made for McCarthy. He said McCarthy is loved by many in the party. “Over the last 17 years, Mrs. McCarthy has held a number of portfolios and has served with honor and distinction,” Vander Zalm said. ‘IN CRISIS’ Opposition NDP Leader Mike Harcourt said the government is in a crisis “that’s going to lead to a Social Credit leadership struggle to try to keep the Socreds in power. “What we need is an election to clear the air,” he said McCarthy also said she felt compelled to comment on a proposed new structure of govern. ment “and a not-so-new management structure in the premier's office. “This government has become so isolated from cabinet decision-making that I must rush to this announcement with this new-found knowledge on the eve of this new system being put into place without discussion and without consensus.” McCarthy said Vander Zalm had promised one new administrator would be added to,staff in the premier's office, but she said she expected few improvements as a result. Vander Zalm all but confirmed that Peter Bazowski will take over half of Poole’s duties by being responsible for policy and the civil service Bazowski was deputy commissioner of the RCMP before becoming the deputy minister of health in the early 1980s. He also was the acting ombudsman before returning to the private sector. McCarthy, first elected in 1966, has been deputy premier and has held the portfolios of human resources, recreation and travel and provincial secretary. One of two members from the upper-class Vancouver-Little Mountain, McCarthy is known as Amazing Grace because of her personal flair that included flip hairstyles and chunky jewelry, as well as for her political acumen. A businesswoman who made a fortune in flower shops, she has emphasized the grassroots nature of the party and its commitment to free enterprise. One of the last times McCarthy and Vander Zalm crossed swords was over the premier's interference in the tendering process leading to the sale of the valuable Expo 86 waterfront site in downtown Vancouver. TOOK TO CABINET While the land was eventually bought by a company controlled by Hong Kong developer Li Ka-Shing, McCarthy accused Vander Zalm of taking another proposal by his millionaire friend Peter Toigo directly to cabinet. This, she said,-sidestepped the official process set up by the B.C. Enterprise Corp. which owned the 84-hectare site. “Unelected officials have had more power than they deserve in the premier’s office and David Poole very definitely is one of those people,” said McCarthy. Socred party president Hope Wotherspoon said the resigniations would certainly provoke “a great deal of discussion at (the annual) convention this fall in Penticton. “There will be a lot of questions asked and a lot of answers given.” Wotherspoon cautioned that she had not received a call for a leadership review, and “out of a 100,000 (party) members there’s bound to be some who disagree with what's going on in government.” U.S. considering | air victim aid The U.S. tion for relatives of the 290 ine killed in the Iranian airliner shot down by a U.S. warship in the Persian Gulf.

Under international law, no country has to compensate for that result from legitimate military opera. signals. The administration said Tuesday” That Capt. Will Rogers of the cruiser USS Vincennes thought his ship was under attack last Sunday partly because of conflicting identification signals sent from the Iran Air A-300 Airbus. Pentagon spokesman Daniel Howard said some of the signals were on a military frequency identified with F-14 fighter jets. In Montreal, the Iranian representative to the International Civil Aviation Organization said the group's 33-member governing council will hold a special meeting to discuss the incident. An ICAO spokesman declined to confirm the report by Ali Akbar Golrounia, but an announcement would be made. today. Galrounia said Iran wants the council to condemn the United States for shooting down the plane. He said the council will decide’ whether to send a team to investigate, and whether to call an emergency session of the full 157-member organization to discuss the incident. In Ottawa, Trade Minister John Crosbie said Canada supports the principle of an independent inquiry and special session by ICAO. Tehran Radio said Tuesday that 200 bodies had been recovered and wreckage had been found, but not the flight recorder. Sources told The Associated Press the idea of reparations for the victims’ families was under active consideration at the State Department, the Pentagon and the White Hodse. President Ronald Reagan did not rule out repara. tions, saying it “is a matter that has to be discussed” once a U.S. investigative team dispatched to the gulf completes its work. CONGRESS SUPPORTS House Speaker Jim Wright (d-Texas) said that if reparations “would assuage the grief of the other aggrieved party, surely we could do that. Congress would support that if it were requested. “I think it would be a wide idea,” said Senator John Warner (R-Va.), the top Republican on the Senate armed services committee. “There's a clear admission by our president that this was an unfortunate accident,” and Congress likely would provide the money for such payments, he said. Iran has accused the United States of intentionally shooting down the wide-bodied jet which was flying over the Persian Gulf. Reagan and other U.S. officials have described it as a tragic accident. Administration and congressional officials said a decision to offer compensation would by no means ensure that it would ultimately be received by the families of victims. Perhaps the most difficult barrier is tions. But the Pentagon does have authority to make payments of up to $100,000 US per person in accidents, Iran's military commander-in-chief, Parliament Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani, said Tuesday on Tehran Radio: “We cannot allow ourselves to refrain from taking revenge. The choice of timing is up to us, and not to America.” TWO MODES Howard, the Pentagon's spokesman, said the Iranian aircraft was broadcasting “in two modes” and that one of those had been “previously identified or associated with an F-14" jet fighter, But other information that surfaced Tuesday cast doubt on initial Pentagon reports that the plane was outside commercial airspace and was descending toward the Vincennes. Congressman Les Aspin (D-Wis.), chairman of the House of Representatives armed services committee, said military officials told his panel during a closed briefing that the airliner never left a commercial air corridor. But a navy spokesman contacted later said that was still one of the “hazy” areas that has yet to be fully resolved. Aspin said one possible explanation the jetliner was broadcasting military signals was that it needed to get back into the area of Bandar Abbas, where it took off from. The airport there is used by both civilian and military aircraft. Officials disclosed that another U.S. ship in the area condluded the Iranian jetliner maintained a steady altitude of 3,840 metres, rather than descending toward the Vincennes. U.S. officials said Tuesday that Reagan had sent a carefully worded diplomatic message to Iran's leaders through Swiss intermediaries, expressing “deep regret’ about the incident. “It was not an intentional act,” message. A team of U.S. military experts headed by an admiral arrived in Bahrain Tuesday night to investi- gate. The team will interview the missile cruiser's captain and other officers. Tehran Radio reported that Iranian President Ali Khamenei asked other countries to condemn the United States, which he said “roused a wave of rage in Iran.” Ayatollah Hussein Ali Montazeri, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s heir-apparent, urged Khomeini, 87, to call on “revolutionary cells . . . to unleash their wrath on American financial, political and military targets everywhere.” In the Persian Gulf, airport sources said commercial flights were cancelled or diverted in several countries because of the downing of the Iranian airliner. he said in the Military jet may have been close to airliner WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon officials have suggested that a military identification signal received raised Tuesday by Defence Depart- ment officials briefing House mem- bers on the missile attack by the Vin- for this. “One is that the Airbus had in fact been broadcasting on both civilian and military frequencies, the d 00), July 6, 1988 Castlegar News A3 hope oy " lw, pn RIB —. $] 59 GROUND BEEF, $99 kg. 21, 99° SARDINES 69° BRUNSWICK.

Caccia said the government negotiated an exemption for beer, but not for water, in the agreement to lift trade restrictions between the two countries. “While the government has re peatedly stated that nothing in the trade deal forces Canada to sell water to the United States, the same government cannot give assurance that the deal prevents the export of water,” Caccia told a news con ference. The figal day of debate on second reading of Bill C-130, which would amend 27 federal statutes to conform with the trade deal, is scheduled for today with a vote Wednesday. Once approved in principle, the bill would be sent to committee. Environment Minister Tom Mc- Millan has ridiculed opposition ques. tions about water exports, saying government policy forbids them. Caccia, said ambiguity must be ended by amending the free-trade legislation. He said he is especially suspicious because Simon Reisman, Canada’s chief free-trade negotiator, advo- cated water exports to the U.S. before his appointment in 1985, Caccia said diverting water by canal would be an environmental dis- aster for an area such as the James Bay basin in northern Ontario and Quebec. A number of U.S. congressmen and governors have advocated im- porting Canadian water to alleviate the current drought in the American Midwest. Ontario's Liberal government in- troduced legislation last week to control water transfers out of the province. Under the free-trade deal, Canada and the United States would phase out tariffs and other border barriers over a 10-year period beginning Jan. 1 However, legislation must still be passed on both sides of the border to meet that deadli by the U.S. navy ship Vincennes may have been sent by a military jet and not by the Iranian commer: air- liner shot down Sunday, Congress- man Aspin said today. cennes, which killed all 290 people on the Iran Air jetliner.

The old’ mill will still be used regularly to cut logs over 10 inches in diameter but Kalesnikoff said the new system will get most of the work because 65 to 75 per cent of the wood he cuts is within 10 inches in diameter. “If I have enough volume, enough logs, I cag.sun both of them,” he said. The recent switch to high technol- ogy sawmills in the province had led to layoffs at the larger mills around the province but Kalesnikoff is ada- mant his employees will all remain with his organization. “There won't be any job loss,” he said. “We don’t anticipate any job loss at all.” Kalesnikoff said the key to the whole expansion is to increase lum- ber production exponentially without sacrificing any jobs or increasing the mill's operating overhead costs too much, “The cost of producing lumber at this current capacity at these stumpage rates is too high,” he said. Kalesnikoff is paying about $10 per cubie metre of round log. “In order to make a profit I have to take the price of manufacturing the lumber down, But I also have to spend the money to do it.” from Iran Air flight 655 on a military frequency, leading the cruiser’s crew to think it was an Iranian F-14 jet fighter. Aspin, a Wisconsin Democrat, said the Defence Department briefing advanced three possible explanations second is that people on the Vin- cennes made a mistake in reading the information, and the third is that there was a second plane that was a military plane. “The possibility exists that there was a military plane that was some how masked.” The IFF (identification friend or foe) system used by the Vincennes “is good, but it also has a lot of limi- tations,” Aspin said. ‘i, Lott The new mill is d to be fully operational by May 1989. mh stands in on o of i av which ie even rea is mi i house a $2, 5-million sawmill expansion. = aly England leaders voted Tuesday in favor of proposals to admit women to the priesthood, even though their spiritual head said doing so could split the church. The General Synod of bishops, clergy and laity voted 299-216 for draft legislation allowing the ordin- ation of women. But the Anglican state church likely won't see its first woman priest before 1992 or 1993. The legislation will be debated and voted on by all 44 of the church's dioceses before going back to the General Synod for final approval. It must then be approved by Parliament. Most Rev. Robert Runcie, the Ar- ehbishop of Canterbury, told the synod the proposals could divide the church. He had no comment after the four-hour debate. Opponents of women priests esti- mate at least 1,000 of the 10,660 clergy will leave the church if women are ordained. The draft legislation allows for them to be paid up to the equivalent of $62,000 Cdn if they quit on grounds of conscience. The legislation also allows bishops the right to refuse to ordain women or have them in their dioceses. 420 Cobembn Ave... Caatlogat * 348-4363 GREAT SUMMERTIME FAMILY PAK MEALS!

SIGNALS DEATH The Bishop of Peterborough,- Ww im Westwood, voted in favor of the proposals but said later he thought the vote signalled the “kiss of death” for women's ordination. “When it comes back to the synod in four years’ time it will need a two-thirds majority because it will be at a decisive stage. It certainly didn't get that today and I d da clear taken in 1975 when the synod said there were no’ fundamental objec- tions to women priests. Since then, Anglican churches in other countries, including Canada, have ordained about 1,000 women.
