Sex charges disturb Carter

VANCOUVER (CP) — Businessman Bob Carter has explained that sex charges against him caused him to decide not to move the head- quarters of Northern Life Assurance Co. from London, Ont. to Vancouver.

Carter, chief of Carter Oil and Gas Ltd. and also prin- cipal owner of Vancouver Whitecaps of the North American Soccer League,

lost an appeal Feb. 23 against a British Columbia Supreme Court order requiring him to face trial for rape, buggery, gross indecency and indecent assault. His lawyers are pre- paring an appeal to the Su- preme Court of Canada.

“It was my full intention to increase the company’s pres- ence in Vancouver if I had won my appeal,” Carter said Monday.

“But I don't think it is fair to employees to move to Vancouver and to be associ- ated with a day-to-day basis, given my current situation. I don’t want 200 nervous breakdowns on my hands. Who needs it?”

The purchase of Northern Life, with $2.6 billion in life, health and disability policies, is expected to be completed in early April, Carter said.

He plans to move North- ern Life's marketing and investment divisions to Cal-

gary.

Northern Life, now con- trolled by Industrial Life In- surance Co., has 240 em- ployees,

The purchase is being fi- nanced through bank loans, but the price cannot be dis- closed until the sale is com. pleted, Carter said.

Students take over office

VANCOUVER (CP) — About 15 members of a group called Students Against the Budget occupied the Vancouver constituency office of Universities Minis- ter Pat McGeer on Tuesday.

The students — from the University of British Col- umbia, \ Commun-

schools — said they are upset with government cutbacks in education funding. Spokesman Bill Collar said the group plans to remain in the office for a couple of days and protesters will have to be dragged out if police are or- dered to remove them.

“It's going to take a long time before this government will move. The government has refused to listen to stu- dents, faculty and ‘staff. . about these issués. This is just another part of the cam- paign to fight back.”

McGeer said in a telephone interview from his Univer- sity of British Columbia office that the occupation did not disturb him.

“T'm pleased to have a little action at the constituency of- fice,” he said. “It will bright. en our constituency secre- tary up.”

McGeer said the govern- ment cuts were unfortunate, adding that “it would be wonderful if there were more money to make it possible to supply all these services.”

The minister added that the students are “weleome to use the office as long as they like. I'd like to see them doing some studying there.”

“This is not just a horserace,” Mondale said Tuesday night in Tampa, Fla. “This has become a battle for the soul of the Democratic party and the future of our country.”

Hart also watched the returns while in the South, and he embraced indications there was a Republican crossover vote in Vermont. “I intend to defeat Ronald Reagan,” he said.

Although no delegates were at stake in Vermont and the outcome was mainly symbolic, Hart's victory was dramatic.

Polling conducted of voters by CBS News indicated that Hart drew support from voters under 30 years of age by an 8-1 margin. He also outdrew Mondale among elderly voters. by 2-1 and carried the union vote, despite the former vice-president’s AFL-CIO endorsement. ”

Mondale said he would now focus exclusively on the South, adding: “We were really not contesting Vermont. We spent little or no money there . . . this was one we just couldn't afford to be in.”

With all of Vermont's 264 precincts reporting, Hart had 51,703 votes, or 71 per cent, to Mondale’s 14, 806 votes for 20 per cent.

Rev. Jesse Jackson had 5,677 for eight per cent. By failing to gain 10 per cent of the vote for the second straight primary, Jackson faces the prospect of losing federal matching campaign money in 30 days. To regain eligibility for federal money, he must win 20 per cent in a forthcoming state contest.

“If we don’t get national funds it would not stop our campaign,” Jackson said in Michigan.

“The police are doing absolutely nothing — absolute- ly nothing. It's shocking that they are doing nothing.”

No charges were laid in connection with the incident.

Trailer company fined for defect

OTTAWA (CP) — A major Canadian trailer manufactur- er was fined $2,500 Tuesday for not alerting customers to a serious defect in the air braking system of thousands of its vehicles.

Tax discounting

harmful

OTTAWA (CP) — Con- sumer Affairs Minister Judy Erola says she is considering measures to help low-income families get child tax credits quickly so they won't have to turn to tax-refund discount- ers who siphon off up to 15 per cent of the payment.

Erola said Tuesday outside the Commons that tax dis-

to poor

counting is an unhealthy practice, particularly when it involves low-income families.

In recent years, around tax time, scores of storefront operations have sprung up in which discounters offer im- mediate cash for tax-refund claims in exchange for the right to retain up to 15 per cent of the total amount claimed.

Riis criticized for backing cutback plan

WINNIPEG (CP) — Mem- bers of the Winnipeg Labor Council criticized federal NDP finance critic Nelson Riis Tuesday night for sup- porting Manitoba's restraint policy.

Riis (Kamloops-Shuswap) told a meeting of the council that Manitoba's government, the only NDP administration in Canada, must have good reasons for suggesting work- ers trade wage increases for job security.

“The policy is probably based on a good deal of sense

for this region,” Riis said of Manitoba Premier Howard Pawley's three per ' cent guideline on spending in creases.

But the comment was greeted with skepticism by some council delegates who suggested. the provincial NDP’s policy is similar to those of the Alberta and British Columbia govern. ments, which the federal NDP has criticized.

Six on trial for rape

FALL RIVER, MASS. (AP) — A woman who says she was raped on a barroom pool table by six men while others cheered initially said two of the men now on trial hadn't even touched her, a policeman testified.

But another witness testi- fied he was asleep in Big Dan's taveran the night of March 6, 1983, and awoke to see one of those two de- fendants on top of the woman, who was crying “as if she was in pain.”

The 22-year-old woman says she stopped at the New Bedford bar to buy cigarettes and was grabbed and at- tacked as she tried to leave.

New Bedford police officer Carol Sacramento testified Tuesday the woman told her of having been raped by at least six men, first on the bar and later on a pool table.

“I asked her how many men had intercourse with her and she said she lost count after six,” Sacramento said.

“I asked her if she could identify the men who raped her. She stated that she could not identify them, that they all started to look alike.”

Sacramento said the wom- an told her bartender Carlos Machado could pick out her attackers.

But when Machado pointed to Daniel Silvia and Joseph Vieira, now defendants, the woman said they were not among those who raped her.

“She said they were in line, but they didn’t get their turns,” Sacramento said.

In testimony last week, the woman said Silvia and Vieira took turns holding her down and raping her. She said one of them tried to force her to have oral sex, and that a third man, John Cordeiro, also tried to force her to per- form oral sex.

The woman said she did not.remember making earlier statements to police that she bad been raped by at least six

men.

Sylvester Vultao, a cus- tomer in the bar, testified Tuesday he saw Silvia on top of the woman, who he said was making noises “as if she were in trouble.”

Speaking through a trans- lator, Vultao, a Portuguese immigrant, said he had not been “right in my senses” af- ter drinking beer and wine. He said he fell asleep at the bar, but woke up when he heard noises.

Vultao said he saw Silvia and the woman on the pool table. Other men in the bar were laughing, he said, but “the girl was very anxious.”

Vultao also said he saw de- fendants Virgilio Medeiros and Jose Medeiros touch the woman “close to her legs.”

“She was crying softly as if she was in pain,” he said. ‘If I were in my right sense, I wouldn't have stayed.”

Silvia and Vieira are being tried in an afternoon trial.

‘FAT TUESDAY’ OVER FOR YEAR

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Where parade after parade of Mardi Gras carousers had danced hours before, only the street cleaners were left to sweep up today as the long party season known as Carnival gave way to Lent. Undaunted by chill winds that scattered light rain into mist, tens of thousands of partygoers packed the sidewalks of New Orleans on Tuesday to watch thousands more celebrate Mardi Gras, French for Fat Tuesday.

Gorillas, Frankenstein monsters, sea monsters, priests, monks, clowns, cowboys and a large variety of rabbits — pink bunnies, white bunnies, Bugs and Playboy bunnies — all turned out for 15 parades in the city and its suburbs.

Police and fanciers of the female form alike kept an eye out for women who, at the urging of the crowd and despite the weather, bared most or all in the name of conviviality.

“We spend about $20,000 a year to come here,” fumed a California restaurateur who spent hours waiting for three female companions to be released from the Central Loeckup, where they had been taken after unbuttoning one button too many on a Bourbon Street balcony.

“T'll tell you, never again,” added the man, who said he comes to town every year to see Mardi Gras from rented balcony rooms on the French Quarter's celebrated street.

It was to protect your eyes from just such scenes that thousands of families went instead to suburban Metairie, where children ran into the street to gather up strings of beads thrown from floats in the Krewe of
