Mandell argued at the bail hearing Mondsy that Sati- acum was a peaceful man who had shown his faith in the legal system through 30 years of fighting in and out of the courts for native rights.

The racketeering charges do not fairly characterize Satiacum, shé said.

Mandell said individual counts do not have to be proven for a racketeering convietion — the sum of the evidence need only indicate that racketeering has taken place.

The murder and arson counts were not proceeded on individually because there was not enough evidence for a conviction.

= Economy main issue

By ERIC BEAUCHESNE

OTTAWA (CP) — It will be a bread-and-butter election campaign, with victory going to the party that succeeds in persuading more Canadians it is best able to deal with problems facing the economy.

The No. 1 issue is the economy, and unemployment is the economic problem most on the minds of Canadians, say those paid to keep their fingers on the public pulse.

Leaders of all three parties agree.

Prime Minister Turner, announcing the Sept. 4 election, said Monday an election is necessary because he needs a mandate to deal with high unemployment, rising interest rates, a sliding dollar, a public debt that’s growing too fast and an unsettling world financial situation.

Progressive Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney argued that Turner's Liberals are the same group that created the problems and they must be held accountable.

But New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent, referring again to Turner and Mulroney as the “Bobbsey Twins of Bay Street,” said there is no different between the two leaders who put the interests of corporations and financial markets ahead of the suffering of the unemployed.

FOCUS ON ECONOMY

It’s nd surprise that all three are focusing on economic problems.

Despite an economic recovery, 11.2 per cent of the work force, or 1,362,000 people, are officially unemployed, 50 per cent more than the 7.4 per cent of the work force jobless when the last federal election was called in December 1979.

“The economy is overwhelmingly the major concern of Canadians,” said Ilan McKinnon of the Tory polling firm Decima Research Ltd.

Jordan Levitin, assediate director of CROP Inc., a Montreal-based public opinion survey firm, narrowed the issues further:

“In the past it has been unemployment and inflation but right now the biggest concern.”

Recent surveys suggest Canadians want a government and leader that will give them, a sense of confidence, he said.

Esch party is also well aware that having a job and being able to meet mortgage payments on a home add to Canadians’ self-image. A Gallup poll released this week sug: gests unemployment is the major concern of Canadians. Fifty per cent of those polled said unemployment is their main concern. Inflation was seeond with 27 per cent.

Over the next two months, Liberale, Conservatives and New Democrats will stomp the country selling their pres- criptions to fight high unemployment, high interest rates and a falling dollar while keeping a lid on inflation.

During the campaign the Liberals are

announce new job-creation and job-training programs and will point to the more than $1 billion they are spending in that area. They will also continue to blame high unemploy- ment on the sharp growth in the labor force.

But don't expect many details.

Turner said specifies will have to wait for a budget and he offered only to let Canadians know “how I envisage the problems, and what directions and general proposals are needed to get us back on the road to a solid recovery.”

MULRONEY TO ANNOUNCE HIS CHOICE FRIDAY

OTTAWA (CP) — Conservative Leader Brian Mul roney will abandon his Nova Scotia riding and seek a Commons seat in his home province of Quebec in the Sept. 4 federal election, a party source said Tuesday

Mulroney, in an attempt to reve jee party's standings in Quebec, has narrowed his chéite-to two ridings, the source said. They are Missisqdoi, once held by Conservative Heward Grafftey, and Manicouagan, which ‘contains Mulroney's hometown of Baie Comeau, the source said.

‘The Tory leader has said he will go to his Nova Scotia riding of Central Nova and announce his intentions there Friday.

Beer, wine sales opposed

VANCOUVER (CP) — City council opposes the sale, of beer and wine in city grocery stores.

Council voted 91 Tuesday to tell Consumer and Corporate Affairs Minister Jim Hewitt it is concerned that such relaxation of the liquor laws would make boose more available to children and the laws difficult to enforce.

However, city legal director John Mulberry told council the city would not have the power to prevent stores selling liquor if the provingial government permit! them to do so.

Hewitt said last week that the government is considering the sale of beer and wine in grocery stores, but will do an opinion poll before implementing the plan. He said the selling of beer and wine in grocery stores was one of the strongest messages given his ministry during its review of B.C.’s liquor laws.

But council members said the move would be a mistake. “We can't even control dirty magazines in those stores, so how can we control alcohol?” said Ald. Mar- guerite Ford, who moved that council oppose the liquor sales. “Anything that is going to make liquor more available. to minors is certainly a mistake.

“We have grocery stores in almost every corner of this town — next to schools and in residential areas.”

Ald. Harry Rankin said Vancouver residents have enough access to alcohol through government outlets and

pubs and that the availability of beer in the stadiums has been a disgrace.

Ald. Warnett Kennedy, the only one to oppose the motion, said counci] should not appoint itself censor.

In the meantime, Mulroney admitted Tuesday that Conservative campaign promises would drain the federal government's coffers.

“There's a cost in everything and I indicated there's a short-term cost to get the economy moving again,” Mulroney told reporters before meeting MPs who make up the core of the Conservative shadow cabinet.

Mulroney said government revenues would pick up in the long run with more jobs, increased production and better economic conditions that would result from the Conservative policies.

REFUSES PREDICTION

However, he refused to outline the cost of tax breaks announced last week and other promises that will be made during the campaign. He said Monday the Con- servatives would release all the costs and benefits of their campaign proposals in one shot, presumably before the election.

Mulroney and New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent both spent the first day of the campaign in Ottawa with aides and election strategists. Prime Minister Turner was at his Toronto home and is expected to return to Ottawa for a cabinet meeting Thursday.

The Liberals, behind slightly in election prepar ations, announced Turner's choices for co-chairmen of the party's campaign committee: Finance Minister Marc Lalonde from Quebec, Consumer Affairs Minister Judy Erola from Ontario and Izzy Asper, a

In other campaign developments Tuesday, Canada Elections Commissioner Joseph Gorman said he doubts the recent distribution in Winnipeg of a 16 page newsprint pamphlet extolling federal government initiatives in Manitoba violates federal electoral laws.

Political parties and candidates are prohibited from running ads pi t or others until Aug. 5 and they ‘must halt their advertising cam paigns at midnight Sept. 2.

Gorman said the pamphlet, titled “We're in it together,” and bearing the Government of Canada logo and “Manitoba” on the front cover, does not appear to fall within the legal definition of political advertising

McAleer says Tory Leader Brian Mulroney has been working hard in the ethnic communities in Toronto's key ridings in a bid to end the historical Liberal lock on that vote.

Two Toronto Liberals, Ursula Appolloni and Paul Cos- crove, are not seeking re-election and another riding has been without an incumbent since Tory Gordon Gilchrist re- signed this year after a conviction for tax evasion.

INCLUDES COUTTS

Among other interesting Toronto battles will be Spadina, where former Liberal adviser Jim Coutts is taking gn NDP incumbent Dan Heap, and in Broadview-Green- Awvood, where journalist Peter Worthington and the Tories are trying to oust Lynn McDonald and end a 20-year NDP hold on that riding. Veteran Paul Hellyer is attempting a political comeback by seeking the Liberal nomination in York South-Weston.

McAleer is also optimistic about improving Tory prospects in the North, a barren region where they hold only one seat — a 1982 byelection win in Timiskaming — and fin ished a distant second or third in most others.

But there are new factors at work.

McAleer says the Conservatives drew more peeple to

First debate is set

TORONTO (CP) — The first debate on women's is- sues by party leaders during a federal election campaign will take place next month at the invitation of Canada’s most powerful women's lob- by group.

Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney and NDP Leader Ed Broadbent accepted in- vitations Tuesday to the de- bate from the National Ac- tion Committee on the Status of Women.

Prime Minister John Tur. ner has yet to confirm his participation, but a spokes man in the Prime Minister's Office said “I don’t think he would refuse.”

Chaviva Hosek, president of the committee, said the debate will be held in mid- August in Toronto. The com mittee, which represents 300 women’s groups with a com bined membership of 2.5 mil lion, will formally announce the debate next week.

More than 1,500 women are expected to attend the event, which may be tele-

vised ionally.

Some Ontario Liberals say, in fact, they've never seen such aggressive organization by the Tories.
