Dolphins
used
as
spies
NEW
YORK
(AP)-
The
U.S.
Navy
and
the
Central
Intelligence
Agency
(CIA)
tried
to
teach
dolphins
to
carry
monitoring
devices
Into
Havana
harbor
to
measure
the
efficiency
of
Soviet
nuclear
ships,
says
a
scientist
who
claims
he
was
involved
In
the
secret
project.
Navy-CIA
researchers
also
tried
to
teach
dolphins
to
kill
enemy
frogmen
and
to
place
monitors
on
mock-up
enemy
vessels,
the
scientist,
Michael
Greenwood,
said
In
telephone
interviews
from
his
home
in
Moorhead,
Minn.
Greenwood,
44,
an
animal
behavior
psychologist,
said
the
projects
did
not
work
out
because
the
dolphins
were
too
unreliable.
"They
sometimes
put
their
packages
on
the
wrong
ships,"
he
explained.
'We'll
topple
Trudeau'
TORONTO
(CP)
Dennis
McDermott,
Canadian
director
of
the
United
Auto
Workers
(UAW),
predicted
Sunday
that
labor
will
topple
the
Trudeau
government
in
the
union's
battle
against
wage
controls.
Addressing
a
UAW
policy
meeting,
he
said
a
one-day
general
strike
across
Canada
may
be
called
to
protest
the
controls.
Mr.
McDermott,
a
vice-president
of
the
Canadian
Labor
Congress,
is
the
first
labor
leader
to
call
publicly
for
a
general
strike
against
the
government's
anti-inflation
controls.
He
said
that
before
a
March
22
meeting
in
Ottawa
of
about
15,000
trade
unionists,
he
was
skeptical
of
the
Canadian
labor
movement's
ability
to
mobilize
in
a
cause.
"I
didn't
think
we
had
the
capability,"
he
said.
"I
was
wrong.
The
pendulum
has
swung
"In
my
opinion,
we
have
the
capability
for
a
general
strike
and,
before
this
is
over,
that
is
a
distinct
possibility."
He
said
the
"ineptitude,
brutality
and
injustice"
of
the
federal
anti-inflation
board
has
contributed
to
labor's
deepening
antipathy
to
the
controls
program."
"I
don't
know
who
makes
decisions
for
the
board,"
he
said.
"It's
not
chairman
Jean-Luc
Pepin.
He's
out
making
speeches
every
afternoon
and
evening.
"I
think
they
have
a
trained
chimpanzee
in
a
cage
with
a
digital
computer
who
plays
with
it
all
afternoon
and
whatever
comes
out
is
the
decision
of
the
board."
Mr.
McDermott
and
other
conference
speakers
said
they
will
not
be
bound
in
negotiations
by
the
federal
12-per-cent
guideline
for
maximum
wage
increases
allowed
in
one
year.
College
hit
by
cutback
The
College
of
New
Caledonia
is
faced
with
severe
budget
cutbacks
which
could
mean
reductions
in
staff
or
equipment
during
1976-77.
In
a
report
to
the
college
council
Saturday,
acting-principal
Gordon
Ingalls
said
the
over-all
budget
increase
is
only
8.5
per
cent.
The
college
submitted
a
budget
asking
for
a
38-per-cent
Increase,
he
said.
"We
are
faced
with
major
cutting
if
we
are
to
balance
the
budget,"
said
Ingalls.
He
added
he
was
not
sure
where
the
cuts
would
be
made
but
staff
and
equipment
reductions
are
"possibilities.
The
college
won't
know
where
the
cuts
will
be
until
May.
Ingalls
said
the
budget
for
1975-76
was
$4.2
million
a
20-per-cent
increase
over
the
previous
year.
The
8
5-per-cent
Increase
is
standard
across
the
province,
he
said.

HIGH
COSTS
CITED
Lumbermen
want
break
VANCOUVER
(CP)
The
Council
of
Foiest
Industries
of
British
Columbia
has
applied
to
the
provincial
government
for
relief
from
costs
of
tougher
forestry
guidelines
being
applied
to
logging
operations.
Thomas
G.
Rust,
re-elected
chairman
of
COFI
at
the
annual
meeting
Friday,
said
in
an
interview
that
the
council
had
made
representation
to
the
new
Social
Credit
administration
about
costs
but
no
promises
have
been
made.
The
guidelines
resulted
in
the
need
to
construct
more
logging
roads
because
smaller
clear-cut
openings
are
allowed
and
there
are
more
stringent
rules
about
environmental
matters.
Mr.
Rust
said
the
council
is
important
as
a
vehicle
to
present
the
industry's
viewpoint.
'As
the
role
of
governments
increased
in
society
"industry
must
be
constantly
alert
to
present
our
point
of
view."
Mr,
Rust
predicted
that
sales
of
lumber
and
wood
products
will
improve
from
1975
but
"will
be
nothing
spectacular,"
U.S.
housing
starts
will
reach
about
1.6
million
In
1976,
down
from
the
boom
year
of
2.4
million
in
1972,
he
said.
"There
is
little
Justification
for
the
continuation
of
this
course,"
Hardwick
said
in
the
letter.
i
But
Alex
Oayle,
dean
of
vocational
and
technical
programs
at
CNC
said
the
graduates
of
the
eight-year-old
course
have
no
trouble
finding
jobs.
"There's
a
high
demand
for
log
homes
In
this
area,"
Dayle
told
the
council,
"We
enrolled
18
students
in
the
course
In
January
and
there's
18
still
in
It.
They'll
be
here
until
they've
completed
it.
Most
of
them
have
Jobs
He
expressed
concern
that
pulp
sales
would
not
Improve
due
to
the
large
inventory
which
has
now
reached
more
than
two
million
tons.
Don
Lanskail,
COFI
president
for
B.C.,
said
lumber
has
not
contributed
significantly
to
the
rapid
escalation
in
home
prices.
He
told
the
COFI
board
of
directors
that
recent
figures
from
Central
Mortgage
and
Housing
Corp.
show
building
materials
have
Increased
39
8
per
cent
since
1971
while
wages
have
gone
up

S
per
cent,
land
57.9
per
cent,
mortgage
interest
56
8
per
cent
and
insurance
112.5
per
cent.
to
go
to.
The
government
doesn't
consider
it
a
recognized
trade
but
If
you
look
around
the
area
there's
an
outstanding
number
of
log
buildings."
Dayle
said
about
30
students
graduate
from
the
four-month
course
every
year
and
there
Is
a
list
"of
hundreds'
waiting
to
take
the
course.
Ralph
Malda,
dean
of
student
services,
said
the
college
recently
received
a
letter
from
a
man
In
Holland
saying
he
was
on
his
way
here
to
take
the
course.
"I
can
only
hope
he's
not
on
the
boat
yet,"
said
Maida.
Dayle
said
because
of
the
high
demand
for
the
course
perhaps
it
could
be
self-supporting
through
night
school.
In
this
way
students
would
pay
all
expenses
in
the
program.
"The
government
feels
people
are
'taking
log
building
for
their
own
benefit
but
most
of
the
graduates
are
being
hired
to
build
homes,"
he
said.
Log
construction
is
currently
taught
by
Helmut
Stobbie
but
for
most
of
Its
funded
life
was
taught
by
Allan

his
final

her

for

In

prompted
by

the

said
he
will

the
commitment
to
provide
further
information
to
guide
him
in
sentencing
the
22-year-old
newspaper
heiress.
U.S.
District
Judge
Oliver
Carter,
following
the
letter
of
the
law,
temporarily
imposed
the
maximum
sentence
of
35
years
in
prison
on
two
counts,
but
sa
id
he
intends
to
reduce
the
sentence
no

what
the

of

Carter
did
not
say
which
federal
institution
will
be
designated
for
Miss

Miss

was
convicted
March

of
willingly
taking
part
in
the
holdup
of
a
San

branch
two

In

that
she
was

into
the
crime
by
the

The
average
Prince
George
homeowner
faces
a
tax
increase
of
about
$100
this
year.
Mac
Carpenter,
Prince
George
school
district
secretary-treasurer,
said
today
the
local
school
mill
rate
increase
will
be
close
to
Education
Minister
Pat
McGeer's
predicted
seven-mill
average
for
the
province.
Added
to
the
city's
mill
rate
increase,
proposed
to
be
set
at
a
minimum
of
2.25
for
urban
residential
property,
the
total
mill
rate
increase
will
be
about
nine
mills.
For
the
average
city
homeowner
a
resident
of
a
new
subdivision
with
an
1,100
square-foot
home
worth
about
$40,000
the
tax
increase
will
shoot
the
total
tax
bill
to
more
than
1800.
Because
of
Prince
George's
triple
mill
rate
system
for
urban,
suburban
and
rural
property
owners,
suburban
and
rural
homeowners
will
face
an
increase
of
about
13
mills.
Their
actual
tax
bill,
however,
will
be
lower
than
the
average
city
dweller
because
of
lower
property
and
improvement
values.
Tax
predictions
are
extremely
complicated
to
average
because
actual
property
values
have
little
relation
to
assessment
values.
Not
only
are
assessments
usually
a
few
years
behind
actual
value
but
the
assessment
increase
freeze
in
force
for
the
past
10
years
throws
figures
completely
out
of
wack.
School
board
official
Car
penter
said
the
school
tax
hike
is
due
to
the
provincial
government's
restraint
policy
which
has
cut
into
the
government
share
of
school
operating
costs.
"The
provincial
government
is
not
assuming
as
big
a
share
of
costs
as
it
did
previously."
The
cost-sharing
formula
for
schools
is
as
complicated
as
the
mill
rate-tax
amount
calculations.
However,
the"
government
is
cutting
back
its
share
by
abeut
one
mill,
The
basic
tax
levy
for
education
was
set
Friday
at
32.5
mills,
a
six-mill
increase.
Coupled
with
the
one-mill
reduction
in
government
sharing
the
total
increase
to
the
average
taxpayer
will
be
seven
mills.
Carpenter
said
the
local
school
budget
increase
is
about
two
per
cent
less
than
the
provincial
average
and
the
mill
rate
hike
could
be
slightly
less
than
average,
also.
City
council
today
fees
the
onerous
task
of
deciding
the
city's
mill
rate
for
1976.
Two
choices
face
aldermen.
City
treasurer
Chuck
Schat-tenkirk,
in
a
report,
recommends
setting
the
city
rates
at
49
25
for
urban,
31.25
for
suburban
and
21.25
for
rural
property
owners.
An
alternate
choice
which
would
increase
the
city's
surplus
fund
would
see
the
rate
set
at
51.25,
33.25
and
23.25.
Schattenkirk
says
the
mill
rate
increase
could
be
as
high
as
4
25
for
urban
and
8.25
for
suburban
and
rural
property
owners
or
as
low
as
2.25
and
6.
25,
depending
on
the
choice
made.

Levi
raps
own
party
on

RICHMOND,
B
C.
(CP)
-Former
New
Democratic
Party
human
resources
minister
Norm
Levi
criticized
members
of
his
own
party
Saturday
for
sympathizing
with
Social
Credit
welfare
policies.
Mr.
Levi
told
a
Richmond
NDP
social
evening
audience
that
party
members
should
be
defending
welfare
recipients,
who,
he
said,
are
belnfi
exploited
by
Human
Resources
Minister
Bill
Van-der
Zalm.
He
said
that
when
he
was
human
resources
minister,
"I
got
some
of
the
dirtiest,
snot-Tiest
letters
about
welfare
recipients
from
NDP
members."
Mr.
Vander
Zalm
is
blaming
those
on
welfare
for
B.C
's
economic
ills,
Mr
Levi
said,
"He's
saying
what
the
people
out
there
want
to
hear
That
the
economy
of
the
province
is
in
a
bad
state
because
there
are
some
people
on
welfare,
Levi
said
he
has
no
apologies
for
his
handling
of
the
portfolio.
"If
anybody
comes
to
me
and
tells
me
I
did
too
much
for
people
on
welfare
I'll
tell
them
to
go
to
hell,
There's
no
need
to
be
defensive
about
that
at
all."
She
appealed
confused
at
one
point
by
the
announcement
that
she
would
receive
the
maximum
time,
but
Johnson
appeared
to
reassure
her
that
the
sentence
was
not
final,
Carter
said
he
has
received
extensive
psychiatric
reports
from
Miss
Hearst's
personal
doctors
and
decided
he
wants
federal
experts
to
balance
out
the
information
with
a
separate
study.
"It
is
the
intention
of
the
court
to
follow
a
policy
of
getting
the
most
information
before
ultimate
sentence
is
pronounced,"
said
Carter,
"I
should
have
the
benefit
of
psychiatric
reports
of
institutional
people,
which
will
give
me
an
extensive
and
balanced
judgment."
