Smith said he has already discussed the case with Crosbie, and “we hope to do it jointly.”

He would not be specific about the amount of money British Columbia has in ‘mind, but said that a recent settle- ment between the province of Nova Scotia and wrongfully convicted Donald Marshall of $270,000 was “way out of line.”

Smith said he would rather see Fox receive enough assistance to acquire some education, and then receive ‘some

“I don’t see cash payments in large amounts as appropriate im these cases,” Smith said. However, he noted that a mistake was made and the government owes Fox some aid.

Marshall spent 11 years in prison before being pardoned for a murder he did not commit. He spent months attempt- ing to obtain government compensation, bat Nova Scotia argued the federal government should pay, while the former Liberal justice minister argued the provinee was respon- sible. Nova Scotia finally put together’ i board to examine the Marshall case, later determined the board would take too long and decided to offer Marshall a lump sum payment.

“I think Nova Seotia handled 'the thing very badly,” Smith said. “In that case, they floundered. I don't think this should become 4 politieal issue, with #6Vernments (having to be) goaded into action.”

Fox was sentenced to life in prison for a brutal rape in 1960, and was free on parole in 1976 when he was arrested for another, similar rape.

Pez down, not out

VANCOUVER (CP) — Vancouver stock promoter Murray Pezim — who lost control last week of Peza. merica Resources Ltd. and International Corona Re sources Ltd. — may be down, but he'd not out, says his as. sociates.

Pezim was forced to sell off his controlling interest in Pezamerica to Royex Gold Mining Corp. because of a margin call, says Peter Brown, president of Canarim Investment Corp. and past chairman of the Vancouver Stock Exchange.

“He was buying Pezamer.

A margin call is when a ‘brockerage house orders in- vestors .wha have beught shares partially on credit to pay off their debt. If the in- vestors don't come up with the money, the brokers can begin selling the shares.

The Toronto-based Royex now is the major shareholder of Pezamerica. Pezamerica's major asset is its holding, through Pezeor Holdings Ltd., of 65 per cent of the outstanding common stock of

Brown, who negotiated the deal, said Pezim is still worth up to $9 million in “hard” as- sets.

“I think Murray will be back and kicking,” he said.

Brown said that Pezim, following the deal, retains $2 million in cash, a $2-million home and between $4.5 mil lion and $5 million in various stocks. Pezim also remains as chairman of Pezamerica’s

Mila resting in hospital

TORONTO (CP) — Mila Mulroney, resting in a Tor. onto hospital after under. going minor surgery for an undisclosed problem, “is a little weak but coming on fine,” Prime Minister Mul. roney said Tuesday night after a 45-minute visit with his wife.

“She's in good cheer,” a smiling Mulroney said. “She's upholding the Yugoslavian standard for tolerance of pain.”

Mulroney, who said he wanted to keep the nature of the operation confidential, expects his wife will be re leased Friday. He added that the operation was performed in Toronto because his wife's long-time gynecologist, Con. stance Nucci, moved here several years ago from Mon treal

Mulroney returned to Ot tawa after his visit, which oceurred shortly after regu lar visiting hours ended at 8

Just before he arrived, a florist delivered a huge bou quet of flowers from the prime minister. One female security guard watching over Mila said “she’s got more flowers than a botanical gar den.”

PM reveals salary details

MEECH LAKE, QUE. (CP) — Prime Minister Mulroney, whose month-old government has been accused of excessive secrecy, made good on an open government campaign promise Tuesday by revealing new details about the hefty salaries of top cabinet appointees.

But the disclosures may not end @& hegal battle by Southam News and Information Commissioner Inger Hansen to obtain even more details about the money paid Crown corporation ives and other i

Figures released following a day-long meeting of senior cabinet ministers show the two top-paid cabinet appointees are Petro-Canada chairman Bill Hopper and president Edward Lakusta, who each receive about $400,000 a year.

That's more than three times the salary and benefits package paid the prime minister and almost six times what an ordinary member of Parliament earns.

Only one-quarter of what Hopper and Lakusta earn is actual salary — the rest is cash payments from subsidiary or associated corporations.

Second on the list is Joel Bell, who earns between $235,000 and $260,000 a year as president of the Canada Development Investment Corp., ineluding $100,000 in management fees and directors fees from subsidiary corporations.

Mulroney told reporters he was surprised by the bonuses and vowed thy'd be reviewed by his government. But he said the salaries of those and another 20 cabinet appointees released Tuesday were probably not exagger ated when compared with the private sector.

“We have to maintain and attract good qualified people in the public service,” he said

“I have no quarrel with paying somebody top dollar, never have.”

The other salary ranges released include J.H. LeClair, president of the Canadian National Railways ($210,000- $240,000); Air Canada president Pierre Jeanniot and chairman Claude Taylor ($185,000-$210,00); Canada Post president Michael Warren ($160,000-$185,000); Via Rail president Pierre Franche ($114,000-$135,000); and Bank of Canada Governor Gerald Bouey ($97,090-$114,260).

Souvenir shows secret satellite

HOUSTON (AP) -- Hundreds of spacecraft trivia buffs have a sheteh ef a top-secret U.S. navy satellite — because it appeared on a souvenir envelope selling for $1 at the Johnson Space Centre gift shop for at least three years.

The souvenir, bearing a likeness of a satellite said to monitor Soviet ship movement, languished on the shelves for years until a published report this week revealed its classified nature.

The envelope, with a 13-cent stamp postmarked April 30, 1976, shows a purple and blue sketch of the satellite called Project Whitecloud which was launched that date.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials received the last one late Monday and passed it to security officials, said William Grimes, manager of exchange operations at Johnson Space Centre, on Tuesday.

An article in this week's Aviation Week Space Technology magazine revealed that the gift shop was selling the postal covers. The magazine said the project was “so secret they are not supposed to use the Project Whitecloud name over the telephone.”

After the article appeared Monday, an estimated 25 to 35 copies of the commemorative envelope sold quickly, gift centre clerks said.

While space centre officials said Tuesday the project was declassified and scrapped in 1977, the project contractor and a navey spokesman said only the name, Project Whitecloud, was declassified and the project itself remained top seeret.

Grimes said his office called the Department of Defence, which learned from the navy, that the project was cancelled and declassified in 1977

But Lieut. Peter Johnstone, a spokeman for the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, said only the name was declassified and that some unclassified photos of the project were released in 1975 and 1976.
