G-8 Out OaKtiC, Montreal, Saturday, July 20, 1 935 enounces tying Zionism, racism iSVTHS DEiiT IN MEMORIAM CARDS OF THANKS NAIROBI (AP) Israeli delegates yesterday condemned apartheid as abhorrent and anti-Semitic as the UN conference marking the end of the Decade for Women debated resolutions equating Zionism with racism. Dozens of women staged an anti-Israeli demonstration at Nairobi University, waving placards that read, "Down With Zionism." A larger group protesting the apartheid policies of South Africa's white-minority government rallied 1 at the university after police refused to allow a march downtown. About 14,000 women at the conference, which bagan Monday and ends next Friday, also attended a series of seminars organized by nongovernment groups called Forum '85. The 10-day Forum '85 ended yesterday with delegates from 150 countries exchanging farewells. Forum '85 discussed such issues as the Palestinians and South Africa, wages for housewives, lesbian rights, birth control, Asian sex tours, and bride-burning in India over dowry disputes.

The Israeli denunciation of apartheid followed complaints from an Israeli radio correspondent who said she had been "hounded, humiliated, harassed and abused" at the conference because of Israeli government policy. Israeli delegate Naomi Chazan told a news conference: "It is imperative to separate Zionism from racism. Apartheid is an aberration of the highest order. Israel and the Jewish people abhor apartheid. It is demeaning to the just cause of black people and an insult to the Jewish people, because it is intrinsically anti-Semitic." Apartheid is the system under which five million white South Africans control 22 million blacks, who tion of UN resolutions for Palestinian homeland under the leadership of the PLO.

1 The Netherlands became the first; delegation at the conference after four days' debate to support lesbians. The leader of the Dutch delegation, Annelien Kappeyne van de Coppello, told the conference: -1 "Heterosexual behavior should not have more right to existence than homosexual behavior, (just as) neither the distribution of work no -the application of responsibilities ought to take place on the basis of someone's sex." She said lesbians "suffer twice as much" as heterosexual women. Third World women lawyers announced a campaign to reform India's laws on rape and dowries, to re-interpret Islamic laws concerning women, and educate African and -South American women about their rights. are denied citizenship and the vote. Zionists support the Jewish state.

Delegation leader Sara Doron said Israel's problems, particularly of Palestinian women living in Israeli-occupied Arab terrority, should not be singled out at the conference from among refugee problems around the world. "Women should use politics to further their own aims and goals and not permit politics to use women to further ideological ends that have nothing in common with what women believe," she said. As she spoke, delegates were discussing proposed resolutions equating Zionism with racism, an issue that has split people at other women's conferences into the factions of East, West and developing nations. At a separate news conference, the Palestine Liberation Organization called for action from the United Nations to enforce implementa PRAYERS MOST Sacred Heart of Jesus, may thou be praised, adored and glorified throughout the whole world forever and ever, Amen.

Gurr Secretary Mormons seek to dispel Israeli fears over centre SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Two high offi- cials of the Mormon Church were in Israel yesterday trying to convince Orthodox Jews a study centre in Jerusalem will not be used to seek converts.

Elders Howard Hunter and James Faust of the faith's Council of the Twelve were sent to Jerusalem after Jewish groups said they feared missionary-minded Mormons are planning an aggressive proselytizing ef- fort once the Brigham Young University centre is completed, said church official DonLeFevre. LeFevre said officials of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were meeting with government and religious leaders in an attempt to dispel rising opposition to the complex. On Thursday, a rally endorsed by Israel's two chief rabbis drew an estimated 7,000 Orthodox Jews to the Wailing Wall to pray and demonstrate against the centre. The $20-million facility, under construe- tion on the Mount of Olives, will house the university's Near Eastern studies program and will include classrooms, dormitories and a chapel.

J.Ut i 1 It 1 TORONTO (CP) The Ontario government will make a special effort to increase cultural and commercial exchanges with China, Premier David Peterson said yesterday. "Our countries enjoy longstanding relations based on mutual respect and friendship," Peterson told a state dinner honoring Chinese President Li Xiannian. "We look forward to receiving further delegations from China," he said. The dinner ended a busy day of meetings and visits by Li and his wife, Lin Jiamei. Li's wife toured the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo, officially opening the exhibit of rare giant pandas, on loan from China for three months.

Meanwhile, Ontario's minister of citizenship and culture, Lily Munro, escorted Li on a tour of the Ontario Science Centre. The Chinese president and his wife have come to Ontario to foster long-term trade deals, Peterson said after he and six cabinet ministers met with the Chinese delegation. Li, 76, has assured the "open-China policy" is not going to change, Peterson said. "He's certainly of the view that China is opening up, and that's a policy that's not a matter of expediency; it's the direction of China. It's a great opportunity, but they're very tough-minded people." Peterson, who has been invited to tour China, also invited the governor of Jiangshu to Ontario this fall.

CP Lily Munro, Li Xiannian tour centre. Canada rebuffed U.S. over war criminal: report Linnas can appeal both his depor-; tation and the choice of the Soviet" Union as the country of his deporta--tion. Such appeals would have to be made before the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals.

Gar Purdy, director of the U.S. Programs Division of the Depart-' ment of External Affairs in Ottawa; said Canada refused to help the Americans because it did not want to risk the prospect of Linnas applying for refugee status once he landed in Canada. TORONTO (CP) Canada refused to help the United States this year by accepting convicted war criminal Karl Linnas, who faces a death sentence in the Soviet Union for crimes committed during the Second World War, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported in today's edition. The newspaper said it obtained a letter from the Canadian Embassy in Washington to the Office of Special Prosecutions of the U.S. Justice Department in which embassy offi cial William Lundy wrote: "I would like to advise you that the Government of Canada would not be prepared to accept Mr.

Linnas in the event of a deportation order being issued against him specifying Canada as the country of deportation." Linnas was sentenced to death after being tried in absentia in Estonia 22 years ago. He was accused of having been the director of a death camp at Tartu between August 1941 and May 1942 when 12,000 people including 2,000 Jews were executed. The trial evidence was used to strip Linnas of his U.S. citizenship. Linnas, 65, who is believed to have entered the United States by way of Canada after the war, gained citizenship in 1960 and is believed to be living on Long Island, N.Y.

Last year, Linnas lost a deportation appeal before the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals. OUINN, Kathleen (Lena). In loving memory of 3 dear aunl who passed away July 20, 1983. Life goes on and years oass by, But.

Families still hope to learn loved ones' fate Obituary Writer Davies Montreal bookseller, writer and journalist Raymond Arthur Davies died Thursday after a long struggle with ulcerative colitis, which developed into cancer of the intestine.

A fervent Communist, Davies was well known in Canada during and after the Second World War for his articles, speeches and several books on life in the Soviet Union and eastern Europe. As freelance contributor to the CBC, Toronto Star and other publications, Davies was one of the first Allied journalists to enter Hitler's bunker. Jailed In 1954, he was jailed for passport fraud after a trial that focused on his Communist views. Davies was born Rudolph Shohan in the Russian town of Smor-gon, which was destroyed during the Russian revolution. In 1917, he and his schoolteacher father, Naum, escaped to Poland hidden in a hay cart, and immigrated to Boston.

Shohan was deeply affected by the murder trial and 1927 execution in the U.S. of Italian immigrants Bartolomeo Vanzetti and Nicola Sacco. "He felt he was just an immigrant kid himself and he felt it could have happened to any of them," Davies's son, Robert, said. Shohan became an active Communist organizer, crisscrossing the United States and Canada. Old Colonel In 1932 he moved to Toronto, began calling himself Raymond Arthur Davies and wrote a column on military history in the Toronto Star under the pseudenom "The Old Colonel." There, he began his lifelong association with Lillian Nelson, who bore him a daughter, Barbara, in 1937, and a son, Robert, in 1947.

They were married in 1956. As a freelance journalist, Davies covered the Spanish Civil War, and later the Second World War as a Moscow correspondent. When the war ended, he helped Jewish survivors with Canadian relatives to immigrate to Canada. Davies is survived by his son, Robert, and grandchildren, Alexa, Maia and Jonah. There will be no funeral.

He will be buried Wednesday at 3 p.m., at the Jewish Assistance Cemetary, Sources Dollard des Or-meaux. (the Vietnamese) are opening up their eyes," said Gladys Flecken-stein, of Big Bear Lakes, whose son, Lt. Cmdr. Larry James Stevens, was shot down over Laos on Valentine's Day 1969. "I don't know if my son's alive or dead," she said.

"He was shot down out of the sky one night, and that was it. I just want to know what happened to my son." For many, however, the enthusiasm was tempered with considerable bitterness and skepticism. Some of those present insisted that Americans remain alive in Southeast Asia and that the government has withheld information about them. When Rep. Stephen Solarz a member of the House task force that recently rejected such allegations, told the convention "we have an obligation not to raise false hopes and expectations," some responded with isolated boos and shouts of "Rambo! Rambo!" That was a reference to the fictional film character who rescues U.S.

prisoners of war still in Southeast Asia. Stood silently "Every day, every second we wait, there are live Americans waiting to pick up," said Brian Burke, a Vietnam veteran from Bloomington, Minn. Earlier, family members had stood silently on the Pentagon lawn as a single helicopter, trailing -ISA wsf-jSi- fit tl Bush pledges to push Viets in search for bodies Los Angeles Times ALEXANDRIA, Va. The families of U.S. servicemen missing in Southeast Asia gathered yesterday on the annual POW-MIA recognition day to hear Vice President George Bush pledge the Ronald Reagan administration's enduring determination to obtain "the fullest possible accounting" of their loved ones, and expressed cautious hope that their long wait may soon be over.

Mothers and wives, sons and daughters about 900 relatives had been flown in on military airplanes to meet in this Washington suburb and do what they could to find out where their sons, husbands and fathers are, and whether they are alive or dead. Tone of optimism Recent developments contributed a tone of optimism to the 16th annual convention of the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia. That tone had been missing during the decade since the fall of South Vietnam, a period in which family members say that the government often neglected their concerns. The developments include the successful excavation last February of a U.S. aircraft crash site in Laos, an agreement by Vietnam to return the remains of 26 U.S.

serviceman and Vietnam's expressed determination to resolve the issue within two years. Ann Milb Griffiths, the league's executive director, said that the return of the 26 remains, the most returned since the end of the Vietnam War, was an ''encouraging signal of seriousness." Across the nation, the 2,464 men still unaccounted for in Southeast Asia were saluted with flags, speeches and memorial services.

John Vessey the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expressed "frustration and disgust" with the time it has taken for the Vietnamese government to provide information about the missing men and promised that the armed services would "carry on with the task at hand." In St. Petersburg, military planes flew in formation over the city hall, while 2,464 red, white, and blue balloons one for each of the missing men were released and sailed through the sky high above Shelton, Conn. flew all day over the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department and other federal buildings, and one was raised also at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a black granite wall inscribed with the names of the 58,022 Americans killed or lost in Vietnam.

At the convention, Bush received one standing ovation after another as he announced that Laos "has agreed to the excavation of a second crash site in the coming dry season" and echoed Reagan's pledge that "we will write no last chapters, we will close no books, we will put away no final memories" of the Vietnam War "until your questions about the missing and about possible prisoners of war are answered."
