Noriega accused of stealing election

PANAMA. CITY (CP) — The op-

been trying to topple Noriega since his indictment last year in’ Miami on drug-trafficking charges. FIRST RESULTS

The government's electoral com- mission released the’ first. official results Tuesday, giving government candidate Carlos Duque a 2-to-1 lead.

Official returns fom seven of 40 electoral circuits ‘showed the pro- Noriega Coalition for National Lib- eration winning 51,752 votes to the opposition’s 26;878.

But tabulations of results supplied

Bush called on mocratic allies to join him in condemning Noriega while former president Jimmy Carter urged against military or treaty- breaking moves that could play into the general's hands

Bush and his advisers kept alive the prospect of military intervention Tuesday by saying all. options are being considered but administration officials privately said a unilateral military confrontation was unlikely.

Bush would not say what actions he was considering in the wake of what he called a fraudulent election that nonetheless was..mwon—by anti Noriega forces

Noriega has not made a public appearance or statement since the voting — a sign the government was surprised by its apparent electoral loss.

The opposition’s presidential can- didate said Tuesday that he opposes any U.S. military intervention in Panama to oust Noriega

The candidate. Guillermo _Endara, said intervention would cause more problems than it solves

Endara and other opposition lead ers did not specify what action they wanted from Washington, which has

by gave En- pty a 236, 097 to 79,260 lead with 35.8 per cent of the vote counted, close to the 3-1 edge indicated by a Roman Catholic Church exit poll.

For the first time since U.S.

relations ‘a

last year, the Roman Catholic Church has begun speaking out against the

regime

On Tuesday, Endara and his two vice-presidential candidates went to the home of Panama's archbishop, Marcos McGrath. They were fol- lowed by armed security agents, who surrounded the house

The politicans called police, who fired a few shots into the air, scattering the agents and some Endara supporters. Police dispersed the remaining crowd with tear gas.

Endara said they had told the archbishop of their desire for a peaceful settlement “‘in this critical moment in the history of. Panama when the people of. Panama have expressed their will so clearly."*

The opposition has said it will continue peaceful efforts to get rid of Noriega, Panama's de facto leader since 1983 and head of its 15,000- member defence forces

Alaska spill cleanup slow

VALDEZ, Alaska (AP) — Exxon must beef up its cleanup efforts rather than its public relations staff if the company hopes to meet its Sept 15 deadline for sopping up the worst oil spill in U.S. history, a senior U.S Coast Guard officer said.

“‘What they'll have to do is come back next spring and finish the cleanup,” Vice-Admiral Clyde Rob: bins, the top federal official super vising the cleanup, said.

Stay out of WHO, Clark warns

TORONTO (CP) — The PLO. shouldn't seek membership in United Nations agencies such as the World Health Organization, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark says in a letter to Yasser Arafa

Clark's letter warns of ‘‘serious consequences for UN agencies” and a “crisis” throughout the world body if PLO-membership in the health organization results in an end to U.S. financing, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported in a story from Ottawa

Environment said top concern

EDMONTON (CP) — Environmental concerns have outpaced interest in political and economic reforms in Ukraine, says a recently elected Soviet politician.

Every candidate in the recent Soviet elections, ‘even those put forward by chemical companies,’ had something to say. about the environment, says Dr. Yuri Pewee elected deputy to the Supreme Soviet of the U.S.S. R* earlier this year.

Shcherbak, invited to Edmonton by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta, is roughly the equivalent of a Canadian member of Parliament

“The environment in some Soviet cities has reached the stage of catastrophe,"’ said Shcherbak. ‘‘The general population is no longer complacent

Man sentenced for attack

WINNIPEG (CP) — A Winnipeg man who viciously kicked a woman who fondled him because he believed she was a transvestite was sentenced to 18 mortths in jail

Larry Klyne, 30, pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm

Crown attorney Bill Sumerlus told the court that Klyne was arrested by police after they spotted him stepping on the head of a 36-year-old woman and kicking her repeatedly Jan. 29.

Sumerlus said the woman required nine stitches-for cuts to her face

But defence lawyer lan Mahon said the assault was sparked after Klyne decided the woman was really a man in women's clothing.

“The complainant grabbed him by his private parts, made a suggestion, and then Mr. Klyne discovered she was a male,’ Mahon said.

But provincial court Judge Charles Rubin said even if Klyne was right, he still committed a vicious assault

Mayors press for pipeline

VICTORIA (CP) — Mayors from the Comox Valley have urged Premier Bill Vander Zalm not to delay construction of a natural gas pipeline from the mainland to Vancouver Island.

Vancouver-area mayors want Pacific Coast Energy Corp., the consortium building the $500-million pipeline, to reroute the line so it doesn’t go through the Coquitlam watershed, a major source of dtinking water for Greater Vancouver.

Advanced Education Minister Stan Hagen, the member of the legislature for Comox, said the island mayors are worried that a delay in pipeline construction could mean potential jobs are lost

Tot given metal rib cage

WASHINGTON (Reuter) — A Texa¥ toddler is well on his way to recovery following landmark surgery for implantation of a metal rib cage in his chest, the boy’s mother said

“Mentally, he is on target and doing great,” Monica Cardenas said of two-year old Christopher in an interview from her San Antonio home

The tot made medical history when a team of doctors implanted a custom-made computer-designed titanium rib cage in his chest during six hours of surgery last month

“Chris has the rarest of all birth defects,’ Dr. Robert Campbell, the surgeon who led the operating team, said in a statement.

The child was born with virtually no ribs or muscles on his right side and was missing part of his spine.

When traditional orthopedic manufacturers could not produce an expandable prostethic rib cage’ that could grow with him, Campbell and*a medical devices firm worked together for eight months to design the rib cage

The device will require minor surgery at regular intervals over the next three to five years to adjust to Christopher's growth Campbell said

Israel unveils Delilah

TEL AVIV (Reuter) — Israel has disclosed a new weapon of deceit in the field of electronic warfare named after the biblical temptress Delilah who defeated the mighty Samson by exploiting his weak spot

The Delilah Unmanned Air Vehicle Decoy is ja remote-guided drone aircraft about 2: metres long aimed at disrupting air defences and allowing attacking Israeli planes to slip-through to their targets

Delilah, built by state-owned Israel Military Industries, was disclosed to the public to mark Independence Day

Delilah flies ahead of attacking planes to neutralize radars and disrupt detection and fire control systems by simulating aircraft presence and drawing ground fire, the builders said in a news telease

Invest more: study

VANCOUVER (CP) — Canadian forest companies must invest. more money and make better use of wood (© compete worldwide in the next 20 years, says a three-year study done for the federal government

The industry should spend more money turning out expensive products such as papér for writing and magazines, and less on cheaper.com- modities like lumber and raw pulp, the report says.

The $320,000 report, by the Van- couver consultant firm Woodbridge Reed and Associates, was com- missioned by Forestry Canada, the federal ministry that oversees the forest resource.

“The key issue facing the Canadian forest sector over the next 20 years is

* said Douglas Ketcheson, a Forestry Canada economist. “We're talking about an industry that will have to restructure and modernize itself."*

The report says the industry must spend about $5.5 billion a year during the next eight years to keep up. That's about $1 billion more a year than has been spent on average each year since 1981

‘Lf we treat this industry as a sunset industry, then that’swhat it will be,’ consultant Peter Woodbridge told reporters.

“*Lf we want to invest in it and do the right kinds of things, then we can (suc- ceed)."”

Canada leads the world in produc- tion of softwood and newsprint, ac- counting for $2 per cent of the world’s supply of softwood and 59 per cent of newsprint.

FUTURE LOOK

The report predicts a relatively rosy future if the industry plays its cards right

Even with conservative growth in world demand, Canadian forest com- panies could see the value of their production increase by at least 55 per cent to more than $41.5 billion a year, up from $26.7 billion in 1987. Pulp and paper, which now account for 70 per cent of that figure, will rise to 76 per cent of value by 2010.

Quebec, now the leader in the value produced because it relies on pulp and paper rather than solid wood products, will be overtaken by British Columbia by 1995, the report said

Canada faces formidable com- petition from Chile and Brazil, which will have the lowest fibre and labor costs in 20 years. But Canadian com- panies should capitalize on Canada’s extremely low energy costs and high- quality fibre, the report said.

Canad has done well in export markets so far, shipping out large volumes of construction-grade sof- twood lumber to the hungry U.S market, and feeding the world’s demand for softwood bleached kraft pulpand standard newsprint.

But lumber and certain pulp markets are slowing down

U.S. demand for lumber, is **maturing and little real growth is ex- pected"’ and ‘‘the outlook is mixed also for the Canadian kraft market pulp sector.”’ Kraft pulp, in which long wood fibres are extracted chemically, is used to make products requiring strength such as grocery bags and toilet paper

Canada should have a sufficient supply of wood for the next 20 years, Woodbridge said, because industry is doing a better job of using what it har- vests.

SOME SHORTAGE

“‘Our assessment is that there are local shortages,"’ he|said, ‘‘but we're saying the response Of the industry to do a better job of bringing more fibre out of the woods and using it better in

Spokesmen for the British Colum- bia forest industry welcomed the report

“The report seems to anticipate something over $5 billion a year across Canada needs to be spent in the next eight years and I don’t see that as unrealistic," said Dick Bryan, chief economist for the Council of Forest Industries, an industry lobby group.

But labor spokesmen criticized the report, saying it doesn’t fully discuss the environment or jobs.
