The government statement read over the radio at 8 p.m, local time (11 a.m. EDT) said that none of 37 people aboard was believed to have survived. In addition to Zia and Raphel, the passengers included several senior Pakistani army generals, the radio said. An earlier report said the plane crashed after taking off from an airport in Lahore. In Washington, U.S. State Depart- ment and congressional sources con- firmed Zia and Raphel died in the crash. The sources, who spoke on conditidn of anonymity, said two Pakistani generals were on board and there were no survivors. No other details on the crash were not immediately available.

Lamb prepares for trip to Japanese school Lamb will travel to Japan for a year to study in Yokohama. Winning a Pacific Rim Scholarship was not easy.

From those, the Ministry of Education selected 25 students for interview by a panel of six people drawn from government, business and education, with knowledge of the Pacific Rim. The 10 winners were selected on the basis of i and personal interests, matur- For Teresa Lamb the world is with a rush.

Uranium mining discussed The Rock Creek-based Committee for a Clean Kettle Valley met last week with Bruce McRae, acting Dep- uty Minister of Mines, to discuss concerns about the development of uranium-bearing claims in the prov- ince, The goal of the group is to have a ban placed on uranium exploration and mining in British Columbia. The B.C. Mines Ministry has re- portedly approved the first explora- tory drilling program on claims once frozen under a moratorium on uran- ium exploration and mining. The 10- week exploratory program was ap- proved on July 13, and according to a Vancouver newspaper article was approved ‘‘without an announcement or a public hearing.’’ The moratorium was declared in 1980 by then-premier Bill Bennett. Simultaneously, the premier halted B.C.’s royal commission on uranium (the Bates Commission) midway through its proceedings. Commission hearings on social impact, ethical considerations and jurisdiction, reg- ulations and enforcement were not held and hearings on environmental impadt and public and worker health were not completed. When the sev- en-year moratorium expired in Feb- ruary 1987 the government did not reopen the inquiry. In its meeting with the deputy minister, the committee asked that the ministry calculate and make public the ‘‘increased number of can- cer cases which would result from a tailings pond containing the ‘allow- able’ level of uranium’? — .005 per cent by weight. “The environmental group also ex- pressed concerns about what it feels are inadequacies in the current uran- ium-thorium exploration regulat- tions,"’ according to a prepared release. ‘‘They requested that com- panies no longer be required to perform work on their designated claims — as is now mandatory for the owner to retain title. “This would prevent unnecessary disturbance of uranium deposits,”’ said the group. The committee also called on the government to put in place a policy which would allow ‘‘full public par- ticipation in the decision-making pro- cess on the issue of uranium.’’ The group also says it is concerned that the provincial government is vio- lating ‘‘basic democratic principles on the issue.’’ It said that during the last general election, Premier Bill Vander Zalm said he would like to see a vote taken in affected areas. “In spite of the overwhelming referendum results (83 per cent) calling for a ban on uranium mining and exploration, no ban has yet been ”* said it spokes- Running mate chosen NEW ORLEANS (AP) — George Bush, veteran of the Republican vineyards, reaches his long-sought moment of triumph tonight, receiving the party's presidential nomination from a convention abuzz with excite- ment over his running mate, young, conservative Senator Dan Quayle Many delegates admitted that they didn’t know much about Bush’s choice, but seemed enthusiastic any- way about the selection of the hand- some, wealthy, two-term junior sen- ator from Indiana. “Super, super choice,’’ said John Lindley, chairman of the Vermont delegation. ‘A real spark plug for Bush,"’ said North Dakota Republi can party chairman Layton Freborg. Many delegates said Quayle would be a bright lure for baby-boomer votes. “I think it’s a good choice,’’ said Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. ‘‘He’s a Midwesterner, he understands agri- culture, he is just 41 years old, he is a pro-life conservative. Savoring the reviews of his run- ning mate, Bush planned to appear with him today at a news conference. Bush’s first order of business was to tour the Louisiana Superdome and try out the podium where he will deliver his acceptance speech on Thursday night. BUTTONS SELL The Quayle choice set off a race among entrepreneurs: to be first on the street with Bush-Quayle political buttons. Within 90 minutes of Bush’s announcement, the first buttons — a simple white model with merely the mame — had surfaced. Four hours later, buttons with Quayle's picture were on sale and “‘going like hot- cakes,’’ said vendor Megan Warlick Democratic rival Michael Dukak- is’s campaign sought to make polit- ical capital of Quayle’s wealth and status as heir to an Indiana pub- lishing fortune. “I think they’d make better tennis partners than a presidential ticket,”’ said Mark Gearan, a spokesman for the Democratic nominee. ‘‘Or should that be squash partners?" Dukakis, meanwhile, planned to begin a four-day campaign swing today, hoping to steal some of the spotlight from Bush. His itinerary in- cluded Minnesota, Florida, Alabama, Missouri, Illinois; Arkansas and Tex as. With the suspense ended about the vice-presidential nomination, the Re- publican National Convention was practically on automatic pilot. Dele- gates had little to do beyond crown- ing Bush to lead the battle against the Democrats’ Dukakis and ratifying his choice of Quayle BUSH UNOPPOSED As the victor over five other rivals in caucuses and primaries stretching back into the winter, Bush came before the convention unopposed. Underscoring the importance of Texas and its 29 electoral votes in the fall election, Bush chose Texas Sen- ator Phil Gramm, a onetime Demo- crat, to nominate him tonight. NEW ORLEANS (Reuter) — Vice-President George Bush pointed out his part-Hispanic grandchildren to President Ron- ald Reagan on Tuesday as “‘little brown ones.”” He was overheard telling Rea- gan: ‘‘That’s Jebbie’s kids from Florida — the little brown ones.”’ His son Jeb and daughter-in- law Columba, who is Mexican- American, have young children, George, Noelle and Jeb Bush made his comment dur: ing an airport ceremony at which ‘Reagan symbolically handed him the mantle of Republican party leadership.

Dukakis has a strong start with Hispanic voters. He spent time as a volunteer worker in Latin America and speaks fluent Spanish In a newspaper interview last month, Bush, who once spoke to @ young Spanish girl in French, said ‘Michael Dukakis speaks Spanish. I wish I did. But I have three grandchildren, my blood coursing through their veins, who are half-Mexican."’ Bush's remarks Tuesday could hurt him with Hispanic-Ameri- cans and other minority groups who resent being referred to in terms of color. The words were picked up by microphones Bush and Reagan were wearing so their formal remarks could be broadcast. person John Hughes. ‘‘Indeed, ex- ploration for other erals on a ‘uranium-designated site’ has been approved by the government.”’ Trail man dead at age 70 Kenneth Allan Ross of Columbia View Lodge, in Trail, B.C. passed away Saturday, Aug. 13 at the age of 70.
