20 Saturday, May 12, 1973 The Ottawa Journal -About WINE by Dillon O'Leary 1 1 over-priced in recent years. I advise against paying the outrageous tariffs for the well known parish wines: the Pommards, Beaunes, GevreyChambertins, and Vosne Romanees. Better to pay one to two dollars more for the finer vineyard wines, even though their prices startle you. LCBO has an estate-bottled Clos des Forets 1969 (1834) at and a Clos de la Perriere 1969 (1436) at $10.70. Both are from Burgundy's great red-producing Cote-deNuits parishes of Premeaux and Fixin, respectively.

LCBO has, a mite cheaper, shipper Hasenklever's (1006) Cote de Nuits-Villages 1970, a wine that needs somewhat less aging. At $5.45. RAQ has (433-E) the beautiful Clos des Mouches 1970, grown and shipped by Drouhin, at $8.30. It also has two Cote de Nuits-Villages 1970, Bubblegummers Jeff Wakefield 4 "If you want me to be so much like Beth, why'd you name me Amy!" Copyright 1973, Toronto Sun Syndicate Last week I encouraged you to start a wine cellar, if you haven't done so, before prices rise. I said you need a cellar which can mean any fit storage place in which to age fine wines to luscious maturity.

Even six fine bottles laid down can make a cellar. Not many fine wines are left to buy before prices. leap to the moon. The race is to the fleetest buyer, and the fleetest have been ravaging the stocks of the LCBO and Quebec Liquor Board (RAQ). But I'll offer suggestions.

First, buy French, then German. French prices will show the sensational increases. I suspect the Germans will 'ascend noticeably, if less sharply. Italians, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarians and others will cost only 1 minimally more. Their better products will still be a comparatively good buy, at least, by the end of this year.

Here are potential fine wine purchases from both the Vanier LCBO and Hull's RAQ. All bracketed numbers refer to board listings. Bordeaux reds. LCBO- lists Chateau Kirwan 1969 (1805) at $5.90. Chateau Haut-Bages Monpelou 1969 (1808) is $5.50.

Chateau Montlabert 1967. (1434) is a grand cru St. Emilion, at $4.65. Chateau Plince 1969 is a Pomerol (1821) at $4.40. Last but interesting is a Bordeaux Superieure, Chateau Terreffort 1967 (979) at $3.35.

RAQ lists one fine Medoc chateau bourgeois superieure: Chateau Meyney 1969 (389-H) at $5.25. Its other good buys in fine Bordeaux reds have vanished. Burgundy reds. These are I one shipped by Drouhin (433- F) at and the other (436-F) by Barton and Guestier at $4.30. Burgundy whites.

LCBO has two superb Chablis: a. Les Clos grand, cru shipped by Moreau (1626) and a premier cru from Poulet (927): at $5.60. It's worth noting that RAQ lists shipper Poklet's Chablis (450) at 50 cents cheaper. RAQ has a white Clos des Mouches 1970, also grown in Drouhin's vineyard, a truly outstand.ng wine (449-C). Price, $8.30.

No red Rhones are listed, because I can't find them. If you luckily locate a Cote Rotie, grab it. The wine is robust and yet has finesse. if given long aging. Its LCBO listing is 1621; at the RAQ, 549-D.

I have suggested white wines for your cellar, though laying down whites is not necessary. Even their recent vinta ges can be drunk fresh. True. But this is your last chance to get them at a reasonable price. And they benefit from a year to three's aging.

I offer no advice about buying Chambertins, Clos Vougeots, Corton-Charlemagnes and other great Burgundies, or the likes of Chateux Lafite, Haut-Brion and d'Yquem from Bordeaux. Great as they are, their prices from $13 to $20 are too far out in space. Omitted are other wines such as Chateau Franc-Mayne (922, LCBO), which I. once drank admiringly; today it is over-prices at $6.90. Prices for the wines I mention are shocking enough.

But, aged and mature, they will give you great pleasure in future years. U.S. told to take complaints of peace violations to ICCS By JACK BEST Special Journal Correspondence Canada has told the United States to take its complaints about North Vietnamese violations of the Vietnam ceasefire agreement to the International Commission for Control and Supervision. In replying Wednesday to a U.S. note of April 20, Canada pointedly reminded Washington that one of the ICCS'S functions is precisely to investigate the validity of such allegations.

Earlier, Canada had made substantially the same reply to North Vietnamese charges of U.S. violations of the ceasefire. Observers here considered the response to Washington particularly noteworthy however because of the U.S. has always been considered here to be more interested in an effective truce control operation than Hanoi. The U.S.

originally wanted a much larger truce observer force established than the man, four-nation body set up under the Paris ceasefire accord. a U.S. nominee to the trouble-plagued control commission, has been trying hard against step odds to make it work. In its note Wednesday, Canada seemed to tell the Americans in effect that if they really believed in the ICCS they would direct their complaints to the ICCS. Diplomatic sources said Thursday the note observed that the Canadian ICCS delegation in Saigon is under instructions to press for investigations' of alleged violations the Paris agreement and its protocols, at the request of any party to the agreement.

The April 20 American note to Canada rejected as "utterly groundless" the accusations against the U.S. made earlier by North Vietnam in notes to the countries, including Canada, that signed the so-called "act" on the Paris conference on nam in late February. It went on to charge that the main obstruction to peace "consists of the military activities carried out the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) and forces under its control in South Vietnam." It went on to. charge that the main obstruction to peace "consists of the military activities carried out by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) and forces under tis control in South Vietnam." It accused the North Vietnamese of secretly moving a "vast quantity" of military equipment into South Vietnam after the ceasefire supposedly took effect, and said more than 30,000 North Vietnamese army personnel were known to have continued infiltrating through Laos and Cambodia into South Vietnam. In its own note earlier, North Vietnam accused the U.S.

of backing "tens of thousands of operations" by the South Vietnamese army against areas controlled by the Viet Cong revolutionaries. It also accused the U.S. of leaving behind more than 10,000 military personnel in South Vietnam disguised as civilian advisers, and of deliberately delaying mine clearing operations in North Vietnamese waters. The U.S. acknowledged that mine-clearing had been suspended, contrary to the Paris agreement, but argued that this was justified in international law because the north Vietnamese had broken the agreement first.

Quebec City suffered the most, having been bombarded by the British in 1759 (Wolfe), Canadians in 1760 (Levis), and Americans.

in 1775- 1776 (Arnold). St. John's, Newfoundland, was attacked several times by the Dutch in 1665, Canadians in 1696 (Iberville), and France several times in 1705, 1708, and 1762. The Germans also fired torpedoes at the harbor in the Second World War. Montreal was captured by the British in 1760 and by Americans in 1775, but escaped damage.

Toronto was captured and looted by the Americans in 1813, and the Niagara Peninsula suffered during the War of 1812. FLASHBACK ON CANADA by Bob Bowman Enemy attacks few The Fenians also caused some damage there in 1866. Vancouver Island was shelled by a Japanese submarine in the Second World War, but only a lighthouse was damaged. The Japanese also sent incendiary balloons across the Pacific in 1944-1945 and some of them drifted as far east as Manitoba but caused little damage. There was one dangerous attack on Canada during the Second World War that was kept secret, as much as possible, as were the Japanese balloons.

In 1942, when the German submarine menace was at its height, U-boats got into the Gulf lof St. Lawrence and sank 22 ships, including a Royal Canadian Navy corvette. The freighter Nicoya was sunk there on May 12, 1942. Although the submarine attacks were kept secret, as much as possible, a military force was sent to Gaspe area in September, 1942, commanded by Brigadier George P. Vanier, who later became Governor General.

In May 1942, the Germans and their allies appeared to be unbeatable and conquering the world. One year made a great difference. On May 12, 1943, the Germans and Italians surrendered in North Africa. The tide had turned. OTHER EVENTS ON MAY 12: 1500 Gaspar de Cortereal sailed from Lisbon on voyage 1 to Newfoundland.

reply to South Vietnamese charges of ceasefire violations by the Communist side, said Canada will continue urging that the ICCS such allegations. The Saigon government charged in a note to External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp last month that the siege of South Vietnam ranger base -at Tonle Cham represented a "di-11. rect challenge" the signatories of the Paris act. It sought Canada's "contribution" obtaining respect for the ceasefire by the Communists. Mr.

Sharp replied that he greatly regretted the situation around Tonle Cham, which "jeopardizes further the maintenance of the ceasefire." CHESS By D. M. LEDAIN Block 4 Pieces White 10 Pieces Problem by E. Visserman. White mates In two Solution next week.) Solution to last week's Quiz (Ljubolevic vs.
