100,000 Draft Dodgers Flee To Canadian Refuge AW TOP and for American expatriates in Canada, says their quest for livelihood is hampered because they've been blacklisted by the American corporations that dominate the Canadian economy. Neither can they avoid knowing that they come to Canada at a time of high unemployment. Canadian workers don't like losing their jobs to draft-dodging foreigners. Some of the Americans who have found jobs contend they are being exploited. They can't squawk because without jobs they could be forced to return to the U.S.

and jail. Thousands may be working long hours at low pay because they are working illegally, and their employers know it. Exiles who want to teach will probably have to enter some other field. There is widespread grumbling at the number of U.S. people already on the faculties of universities and colleges.

These are reducing American imports instead of adding more. Few Canadians are indifferent to the U.S. their quest for livelihood is hampered because are strongly nationalistic and Any issue involving Americans strikes sparks, including actions of the draft dodgers. These youths are coining at a time when there is uneasiness between Canada and the United States. Canadians, generally, disapprove of American involvement in the war in Southeast Asia.

Washington, in turn, is disappointed and irritated at Canada for harboring deserters and making it easy for draft dodgers to evade their responsibilities. The exiles can be oblivious to the scowls they are causing between the two governments. They don't seem to care that there is international disenchantment with the U.S. as the powerhouse of the west. But they soon learn that the U.S.

has more financial interests and power in Canada than any other foreign country in the world. Stan Pietlock, editor of "Amex," a bi-monthly newspaper produced by Draft dodgers and deserters enter Canada as visitors, and then apply to Ottawa for landed immigrant status. As visitors they cannot work. Many don't have enough money to live on while they wait for their new status which may take a couple of months. Some take jobs and risk the danger of being deported.

Mrs. Naomi Wall, of the Toronto Anti-Draft program, says some commit suicide when the little money they brought with them is gone. (Two draft dodgers killed themselves in Toronto in two months.) Others become petty criminals. Other are charged with more serious crimes. Two teenage deserters from Connecticut were picked up hitch-hiking west a few hours after a Montreal woman who had befriended them had been clubbed unconscious with table legs and tied up with electrical wire.

She was in critical condition.

A few Canadians embrace them for fleeing their homeland and the war.

A few more call them scum. Some compare them to Canada's United Empire Loyalists who chose to remain under the British flag and fled northward when the 13 colonies waged their war of independence. Theitf descendents are still proud of what they did. Others say there is no similarity. Instead of helping form Canada's backbone, as did the Loyalists, they picture the American newcomers as spineless whiners who would quickly scamper to another country should Canada face danger.

The bulk of Canadians have adopted a wait and see attitude: eool and wary but not antagonistic. By MURRAY SINCLAIR Star Feature Writer First of a Series TORONTO, Ont. It would take the combined populations of Douglas, Bisbee, Casa Grande, Coolidge, Nogales, Safford and Tombstone to equal the number of U.S. draft dodgers and deserters in Toronto. That's 50,000 people.

Every man, woman and child in six of Arizona's 14 counties would be needed to match the 100,000 youths who have fled across the full length of the Canadian border. Perhaps these published estimates are high, but even the most conservative figures are staggering. And still they come, perhaps as many as 1,500 to 2,000 a month. Some are from Tucson. Others are from Phoenix.

S. Embassy, staged a mock trial of President Nixon and to the music of an Irish reel burned him in effigy. The march was to protest Nixon's visit to Ireland and American policy in Vietnam. Nixon was far from the demonstration, resting on the other side of Ireland at the home of Irish-American millionaire John A. Mulcahy, near Limerick.

The marchers carried a black coffin emblazoned S. Imperialism" and on top of it was a stuffed figure representing Nixon. Behind the banner of the Irish Communist party came placards reading "Nixon Murderer" and "Victory to the Viet Cong." In front of the embassy, in the Ballsbridge district a mile from the center of Dublin, the protesters staged a mock trial of Nixon with a girl In a black robe and a horsehair wig as the Jodge. Ampriran diplomats watched from the embassy windows. lf Index FINAL Edition TWENTY-EIGHT PASES Nixon Unit Denounces Gun Policy By JACK ROSENTHAL 1970 New York Times News Servict WASHINGTON The President's Commission on Campus Unrest declared Sunday that students who committed and encouraged violence share responsibility with the Ohio National Guard for the death and injury at Kent State University last May.

In a detailed investigative report, the commission said, "The actions of some students were violent and criminal and those of some others were dangerous, reckless and irresponsible. The discriminate firing of rifles into a crowd of students and the deaths that followed were unnecessary, unwarranted, and inexcusable." At the same time, the commission assailed as an underlying cause the Ohio National Guard's policy of issuing loaded weapons to riot-control troops. If this policy contrary to federal guidelines had not been followed, the commission said, "no one would have died. "The Kent State tragedy must surely mark the last time that loaded rifles are issued as a matter of course to guardsmen confronting student demonstrators," the commission continued. Four students were killed and nine injured in the May 4 shooting, which sharply intensified nationwide student demonstrations against the movement of American troops into Cambodia.

The commission issued its conclusions Sunday in a special investigative report. It is the last of three publications, following a general report and an investigative report on the killing of two students at Jackson State College in Mississippi. The new report contrasts with the Jackson findings, which sharply criticized Mississippi police. At Kent State, the commission found greater provocation from students and greater strains on guardsmen called to duty on control disorders.

Confederate and Nationalist Chi nese flags fluttered in the bright warm light 17 Hostages Freed By Inmates NEW YORK (AP) Seventeen hostages held by inmates at the Tombs prison in Manhattan were freed Sunday night, Mayor John V. Lindsay's office reported. The action by the prisoners left one jail in the city in which guards still were held by inmates three hostages in a jail in Long Island City, Queens. Those freed had been held by prison rebels on the 11th floor of the Tombs since Friday, the second day of the current rash of jail takeovers that have affected five city detention houses. The hostages were released, the mayor's office said at 11:35 p.m., following an ultimatum aired by Lindsay.

He had given the prisoners until 10 p.m. to free their captives. Lindsay had said that if the hostages weren't freed "other courses of action must be taken." Since Thursday, there have been inmate outbreaks at five jails housing a total of 5,900 prisoners, although far from all actually participated in the takeovers. Inmates are demanding lower bail, speedier trials and better prison conditions among other things. Officers moved in force to retake two of the jails Sunday and the rebellion at the fifth died aborning, police reported.

Newsmen were moved away both at the Tombs and at the Mens Detention Center in Long Island City. Prison guards using clubs and tear gas battled into Brooklyn and Kew Gardens jails earlier in the day and regained control of those institutions. An attempted takeover of a fifth jail, on Ri-kers Island, was begun and quelled in midaft-ernoon. There also was a brief flareup at the Tombs, where the prisoner takeover was confined to the 11th floor of the 12-story building. Some inmates tried to take over the fifth floor but were quickly suppressed.

Huey Newton, national leader of the Black Panther party, claimed his party had been named negotiator fQr the rebels, but neither the inmates nor city officials confirmed this. i Times News Service significant, despite differences between the two nations. He said he and Tito agreed that confrontations between the major powers should be avoided at all costs, in part because they would inevitably involve nonaligned nations such as Yugoslavia. Nixon maintained that Europeans showed a more sophisticated understanding of Amer ica's aims in Vietnam that they had when he toured the continent in February, 1969. He said he did not find the same "skepticism" about either the motives of the United States or the prospects for the success of America's efforts to extricate itself.

He reported that the men to whom he had talked in the last week now realized that the U. S. was "bringing its participation" in the war to an end. Ziegler insisted, however, that Bruce would not carry a "massive" set of new instructions back with him to Paris. In addition, it was believed that Bruce did not mean to make a detailed reply on his return to Paris to the eight-point program outlined by Mrs.

Nguyen Thi Binh, the head of the Viet Cong delegation in Paris, on Sept. 17.. The inference seemed to be that when new proposals are forthcoming, Nixon will make them. The press secretary said further that while Nixon had received a "complete report" on the Paris negotiations, Bruce could offer him little evidence of progress. But Ziegler left wide open the question of future overtures by the U.

(AP Wire-photo) Ethel Is 'Cleared' Of Poolside Push NEW YORK (AP) Time magazine said Sunday it wasn't Ethel Kennedy who pushed historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

into a swimming pool fully clothed it was Lee Udall. At the time of the Incident, John F. Kennedy was president, Robert F. Kennedy was attorney general and Stewart Udall was secretary of the interior. Schlesinger was a presidential aide.

"All those years Ethel has been taking the rap for me," Time quotes Mrs. Udall as saying. "I'm the one who pushed Arthur into the pool. I was dancing by, and he was standing there holding forth and looking so Arthurish, and something came over me. I just stuck out my arm and pushed him in and danced away.

He never knew." Some officials said Ky's presence would have swelled the crowd, but march coordinator Clifford Peterson, a Baptist preacher from Phoenix was dubious: "There was a violence st are. People were afraid there as going to be violence." Those ho did come carried banners saying "USA don't forsake little Vietnam," "Ky is the victory to Vietnam," "Freedom is everybody's business."

IF Small Turnout Called A Success ft 1970 New York KNOCKLONG, Ireland President Nixon conferred privately Sunday with his chief negotiators at the Paris peace talks, David K.

E. Bruce and Philip Habib. Afterward, White House officials did not rule out the possibility that Nixon might set forth new proposals later this month aimed at breaking the stalemate in Paris. "They (the President and his advisers) don't stay in the same position they were in two months ago," declared White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler, in a briefing after the talks.

"We hope if at all possible to make progress in bringing the conflict in Vietnam to an end through the negotiating process." Except for some courtesy calls on Irish officials today, the meeting with Bruce and Habib effectively ended the President's five-nation European tour, which he reviewed for reporters in informal remarks at a reception at Dromoland Castle his evening. The President expressed hope that the 90-day cease-fire in the Middle East, scheduled to expire Nov. 5, will be extended and said he did not think that any of the contending parties would risk worldwide criticism by breaking it. He confessed, however, that the prospects for a resumption of peace negotiations were "not bright." Noting that one of the main purposes of his trip was to reassert American interest in the Mediterranean, Nixon pledged to keep the 6th Fleet as strong as necessary to resist and said there would be no "unilateral" reduction in American commitments to the North Altantic treaty alliance. The President said he regarded his lalks with President Tito of Yugoslavia "particularly" Win-The-War Ralliers Head For Home WASHINGTON (AP) Their dual causes of anti-Communism and win-the-war-quickly dramatized, thousands of March for Victory demonstrators headed home Sunday after a weekend of parades and speechmaking.

Organizers called it a success despite a turnout of a fraction of the 500.000 persons their leader, the Rev. Carl Mclntire, a fundamentalist radio preacher, had predicted would come. U.S. Park Police put the crowd who heard the speechmaking at the Washington Monument Saturday at 15,000 to 20,000. Among those who failed to appear at Mclntire's invitation was South Vietnamese Vice President Nguven Cao Ky and his wife Mai.
