Alcanr Union liff Grows at Kemano
K1TIMAT iCPi � A spokesman or the Aluminum Co. of Canada   Wednesday   described   as 'grossly  exaggerated"  a  union tatement that the company had tanned   visits   by   relatives   to mployccs    stationed    at    th ompany's powerhouse townsit t Kemano.
A statement liy United Steel workers of America Local 5115 said the ban had been imposcc until work is completed on the tunnel which carries water from the storage lakes to the big powerhouse.
E. W. McKernan, manager ol power operations here, said the company has merely requested the men not to invite visitors. "Because of our desire to complete quickly any work that may be required in the tunnel and gel our people back to work as soon as possible, we have asked our employees to co-operate with us in every way they can during this emergency," Mr. McKernan said.
The company is attempting to find a cave-in that is obstructing water flowing through the 10-milc tunnel.

He madq the denial lo tl Commons broadcasting commi tee after Douglas Fisher (CCF Port Arthur) said he had r ceived representations that po itics played a role in a licenc going to CKPG-TV. The unsu cessful applicant was Auror Television Limited.
The BBG recommended a 1 cence for CKPG-TV and the withdrew its rccommendatio to enable it to study the ap plication further. It then re newed its recommendation anc the transport department sub sequently granted the licence "The representations ar completely- false," Dr. Stewar said,
He said the board in rccom mending QKPG-TV did so-afte coming to the conclusion "tha the area was a marginal mar ket for a television station. The board felt a combined radio and television outlet woulc have more success than a single television operator.
Dr. Stewart said W. C. Hcnd erson (P;C-Cariboo) felt at first that the licence should 'have one to Aurora Television. However, he said Mr. Hcndcr son later changed his opinion. Replying to further questions jy Mr. Fisher, Dr. Stewart said ic had received no represents-ions from External Affairs Minister Green or any senators n connection with a television station at Prince George.
"As far as I'm concerned, we're too busy trying to build a station to .worry about these things," CKPG manager Bob Ilarkins  commented   today.
He said charges political influence was involved in the granting of a TV license to the company were not true.
