Mulroney came off as a PQ-booster. Ottawa missed out on any credit for its months-long role in securing the car-assembly plant for Bromont. Brian Mulroney apparently changed his mind at the last minute, calling off a scheduled federal presence at the Montreal press conference.

Justice Jules Deschenes, head of the one-man commission searching for Nazi war criminals in Canada, announced his decision yesterday. Several Tory MPs from an all-party study group denounced the idea, fearing trumped-up evidence against anti-Communist Canadians.

But the safeguards were applauded by influential Jewish groups. And the Ukrainian-Canadian committee, which had lobbied against such a trip, called this one unnecessary but praised the safeguards. Deschenes said that to gather evidence against eight people suspected of serious war crimes, he'll appoint commissioners to visit the Soviet Union, Poland, Britain, the Netherlands and the United States before his final report at year's end. But Deschenes won't accompany the investigators. As a judge, he said, he'd be under Soviet jurisdiction and might risk "a confrontation with foreign officials on foreign soil." The evidence Deschenes seeks is in files captured from the Germans during the Second World War.

The conditions he has set are: Access to original German documents in Soviet archives. Freedom to examine witnesses under Canadian rules of evidence. Confidentiality, to protect reputations. Independent interpreters. Access to witnesses' previous statements.

Videotaping of examinations. Deschenes said his commission has a duty to sift all evidence. He said evidence obtained in the Soviet Union has stood up in many war-crimes cases: 18 in the U.S., two in West Germany and in the case of Albert Helmut Rauca. Rauca, the only suspected Nazi war criminal to face legal proceedings in Canada, was deported to West Germany in 1983. He died before his trial on charges of murdering 11,000 Lithuanian Jews.

The committee contends that as of September, McGill had roughly $45 million in savings, stocks and treasury bonds in companies that did business with South Africa. Committee member Amy Kaler, 19, a student who sits on the board of governors, proposed the divestment resolutions, saying McGill has a responsiblity to act out "its collective abhorrence of apartheid." Kaler suggested the resolutions passed easily because of support from the university senate and the board's subcommittee on social responsibility.

Meanwhile, Soviet officials stormed out of a news briefing yesterday to protest against the presence of a recently-emigrated Soviet dissident Irina Grivnina. Grivnina, 40, stood and began speaking loudly about her rights to attend the briefing after being approached by Swiss security guards. On Sunday, Grivnina caused a stir by shouting questions at Soviet officials at a similar press conference. Then yesterday, as Gorbachev was arriving at Geneva airport, she yelled out a question about when Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov would be released.

President Ronald Reagan, who meet face-to-face today, yesterday squared off with pre-summit statements on Star Wars, Reagan's anti-missile system that lies at the heart of lagging efforts to forge an arms agreement. American and Soviet officials sharpened their proposals in some cases with biting remarks for the first session between the 74-year-old Reagan and the aggressively assertive Gorbachev, 20 years his junior. On the eve of the talks, a senior White House official described the Soviets as "bent on world domination," and not "really nice people." Earlier, a high Soviet official ridiculed Reagan as a "Grade movie actor." In statements yesterday, both leaders pledged fidelity to efforts to end the superpower arms race, but discussed sharply divergent views on how to achieve the goal. Prevent spread Gorbachev said he came to Geneva to discuss "the question of what can be done to stop the unprecedented arms race (and) to prevent it from spreading into new spheres." It was an unmistakable reference to Reagan's program to develop a defensive space shield that could bring down nuclear missiles before they reach their targets.
