The Crown did not oppose the applications in view of the decision of Mr; Justice Peter Sea-ton two weeks ago to quash RCMP search warrants used to raid offices of the Plumbers Un ion and Local 213 of the Electrical Workers. Seaton had ruled that the provincial court judge who issued the warrants was not given sufficient information on which to base a reasonable belief that police could find evidence that an offence had been committed. George Cumming, Crown counsel, argued Tuesday that in the case of the Carpenters Union, details on" the Bworn information "were full and sufficient and were cast in precise terms." Therefore, he said, the Crown was not bound in this case by the earlier decision by Mr. Justice Seaton. CHESSTANATIC CHECKMATED LONDON (AP) British financier and chess fanatic- Jim Slater has been checkmated in his efforts to get the 50,000 ($120,000) prize he put up, for the world chess cham-pionship between American Bobby Fischer and Russian Boris Spassky to the'winner.

Under Britain's tough foreign exchange control regulations, he cannot get the money out of the country until the Bank of England says so. He cannot transfer the money his worldwide banking and investment empire to foreigners, or 'open bank accounts for either Fischer or Spassky in Britain without the bank's approval. The most he can do is pay the winner 300 ($720) a year. That's the maximum gift payment permitted to go to non-sterling areas from Britain. SUBJECT TO APPROVAL Slaterls office declined to.

comment on the impasse, but stressed: "The offer was made subject to Bank of England approval" A bank spokesman saig Slater had applied for pernm--sion to get the money to the winner of the -m match, but declined to say whether bank approval would be forthcoming." He stressed: "Whichever a way he turns, Mr. Slater has' to come to us." Divided on the same tasis as the official purse, the victor of the chess match in Reykjavik, Iceland, would get about $75,000 from Slater's prize, the other $45,000 would go to the loser. Slater, 43, put up the money to get Fischer to Reykjavik after he appeared reluctant to play because the $125,000 purse put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation was not enough.

Paul's Hospital will be involved at first, she said. But we hope to have others." Miss Kennedy said the lack of nurses with operating room experience is one of the main symptoms of a general shortage or nurses in the province. At Vancouver General Hospl- tal, Mary McBean, director of nursing, said some elective surgery still is being cancelled be cause of staff shortages. Mrs. McBean said there were 247 vacancies to be filled in June compared to 180 vacancies for the same month last year.

By RICHARD STARR WINNIPEG (CP) Manitoba's New Democratic Party government, which has been coming up with major and controversial legislation at a once-a-year pace since taking office three years ago, is. keeping its average intact with a new labor relations bill.

With nearly a dozen representatives of business, industry, labor and religious groups already slated to appear before committee, deliberations may come close to rivalling the controversy aroused by the NDP's implementation of state-run auto insurance in 1970 and its municipal reorganization of Greater Winnipeg in 1971.

Southeastern B.C.

is the only federally designated incentive area in the province. On June 23 Ottawa refused a B.C. request to have other B.C. regions so designated, making them eligible for federal aid. Three major areas which B.C.

sought to have declared slow growth districts are East and West Kamloops, the Squamish-CUnton area and South Peace River. With lower priority, a section of Vancouver Island centred on Port Alberni was also nominated for federal aid by the provincial government. Mr. Skillings said the federal government had given B.C. a final and irreversible no to the application.

No further applications for fed eral aid except in the south eastern corner of B.C. would, be possible until 1974, he said. 'We are getting the short end of the stick from Ottawa in fact we are not getting any part of the stick at all," Mr. Skillings said. We pay our way nation ally and we are not getting our fair share.
