Barnes, also known as John J.

Holland, who posed as a New York millionaire when he met and married the widow of three years, disappeared June 19, 1971 after returning with the woman from a honeymoon in the United States. He was the object of4 a police search throughout North1 America and was finally arrested in Toronto Sept. 9, 1971. The woman had placed an advertisement in the personal column of a newspaper in hopes of meeting a male companion. Barnes answered the ad and after courting the woman they travelled to Nevada and wen; married.

Court was told the woman paid for the honeymoon and a luxury car and turned over cash to Barnes because he had claimed his money was still tied up in the eastern U.S. VANCOUVER (CP)-A lawsuit involving allegations of fraud and negligence against Canada Kelp Co. Ltd. and three-individuals opened In British Columbia Supreme Court Monday. Canada Kelp, which planned to' harvest seaweed off the B.C.

coast and process it, was put into receivership by the contractors employed to build its plant. Veterinarian Arthur A. Mac-Donald and Almac Veterinary Hospital are the plaintiffs in the case. Named as defendants are Canada Kelp, promoters Harold R. Hine and Donald E.

Bennett, and Robert D. Young, receiver and manager of the company. Court was told MacDonald purchased $90,000 worth of shares in Canada Kelp in 1968 after conversations with Hine and Bennett, and that he loaned Suit He said Hine and Bennett each withdrew $50,000 from this account. The lawyer said that in an-. other transaction, Hine a former magistrate, and the brotn-er-law of B.C.

Attorney-General Leslie Peterson netted an additional $50,000 from the sale of his own private share holdings in the company. Toy said that at the time he agreed to' make the loan, MacDonald was unaware that Hine and Bennett were selling shares. The lawyer said the $1100,000 raised by the sale of shares should have gone into the company treasury if Hine and Bennett had been acting as promoters with the best interests of the company at heart. Toy said i client had thought the promoters also were contributing substantial funds to the company to help save it from bankruptcy. Lawyer William Craig, acting for Hine, Bennett and Canada Kelp, said the shares sold by the two oromoters were not treasury shares and they were entitled to sell them.

Craig denied any fraud had been committed, and said there was no onus on Bennett and Hine to disclose the sale of their own shares. The hearing continues. By PETER BUCKLEY WASHINGTON (CP) A group of private educational companies has apparently flunked its big test trying to prove that "free enterprise" can do a better job than the public schools in educating poor children. "I guess it's back to the drawing board," said Phillip V. Sanchez, director of the United States government's: Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), as, he announced Monday the "disappointing" results of a year's experiment in what is known as performance contracting.

Six companies were each assigned classes in three widely -scattered U.S. school districts. Under contracts that cost the government more than $6 million, they were to improve reading and mathematics skills among disadvantaged pupils at a faster rate than the ordinary school programs could do. The better the companies did, the more money they receive under their contracts. The firms used a dazzling array of equipment, books, and specially-recruited teachers.

But the result, said an OEO report, was that the private companies "did not perform significantly better than the more traditional school systems."

Watch for your 10-page flyer in tomorrow's paper and shop Nanaimo SIMPSONS -SEARS Henry Kessler's 2-0 defeat ofj Jim Cookson was the most notable of many surprises in the second round of Nanaimo Chess club's selected openings tournament last week.

Kessler, an accomplished, experienced player, has not played competitive chess for a number of years. Cookson, in his teens, is one of the best junior players on Vancouver Island. Opening selected for the round's play was the Austrian attack variation of the Pirc de-defence (1. P-K4, P-KN3; 2. P-Q4, B-N2; 3.

N-QB3, P-Q3; 4. P-B4, N-QB3; o. B-K3, N-B3; 6. P-KR3). The Pirc is a complicated defence.

Black adopts an entrenched position; encourages white to over-extend his position; and, when the startegy is successful, the latent dynamic forces in black's game seem to pour from his defensive pawn structure and overcome the white pieces. The Austrian attack is an attempt at immediate violent refutation. It has been tellingly used by grandmaster Bobby Fischer. Experience of the night was that white maintains his early initiative. Results (progressive scores in brackets) Fred Schulz (4) Gordon Sanborn (2) 0.

Schulz had no trouble at all with the white pieces but it took an outright blunder by Sanborn to give him the game when he had black. Jim Cookson (2) 0, Henry Kessler (4) 2. Kessler's style of play was smothering; Cookson failed to ister of what doctors have privileges at each hospital and which ones have been denied privileges.

The report said doctors, administrators, trustees and others who provide hospitals with infor--malion on the competence of pther doctors should be protected against defamation i s(' by legislation. But the problem of discrimination in the granting of hospital privileges was "small indeed" in proportion to the number of hospitals in Ontario.

The OEO experiment involved some 13,000 pupils in large and small communities.

The results were compared with a carefully matched "control group" of 10,000 children taught by ordinary public-school programs. Although there were variations among companies and communities, the over-all result was generally the same. Five of the six companies were still negotiating the final price they will be paid under the contract because of disputes about terms and results. But four of the six companies have since dropped out. of per-formance contracting altogether.

Thomas K. Glcnnon, an assistant director of OEO, said the experiment proves above all that school boards should exercise caution" before trying similar programs.

The committee, headed by Toronto lawyer Samuel Grange, was appointed last July following complaints by Dr. Claude Maedonnld, a surgeon, and Dr. J.

E. Sheriton, an obstetrician, that they had been unfairly denied privileges at North York General Hospital. After release of the report Monday both doctors said they thought it was fair. "If they set up the appeal board, I shall be the first to appeal," said Dr. Sheriton.

The report recommended an appeal board of three doctors, a lawyer and a layman.

Shaffec said four screening systems, used alone or in combination, are acceptable to the FAA. They are: The hijacker behavioral profile, developed by the FFA, which is designed to alert properly trained airline and airport personnel to the appearances and personal characteristics of potential air pirates. Magnetometer devices which can signal the presence of hidden metallic objects large enough for possible use as weapons. Identification systems for clearance of acceptable persons and baggage.

In Ottawa, an aide to Transport Minister Don Jamieson said Monday he had not heard of the U.S. measures. He noted that Mr. told the Commons in December that the department and Canadian airlines are taking precautions to meet the hijack threat. labor subcommittee started hearings Monday on the Nixon administration bill ordering binding arbitration of the dispute by a three-man board.

Harry Bridges, the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union president, said it was a "cockeyed" proposal that wouldn't work to force an end to the strike. Writing in the ILWU newspaper, The Dispatcher, Bridges said that the union's members had voted in a secret referendum to strike and would return to work only by a secret vote approving contract settlement terms.

Monday ordered all the United States scheduled airlines to start screening passengers and baggage for weapons or sabotage devices. The new order will go into effect 72 hours after it appears in the Federal Register.

That printing is expected today or Wednesday. The new procedures will go into effect Friday or Saturday. The rule will apply to all domestic scheduled airlines and U.S.-flag international airlines, and to intra-state airlines. It will not affect the supplemental airlines, which specialize in charter service, foreign airlines, or air taxi companies. Because foreign airlines are not included in the ruling, passengers embarking on Air ada planes in the United States, for example, would not be affected by the move.
