The development is a $90-million project approved by Hull Tuesday. It is said to be more impressive than Montreal's Place Ville-Maria and it will completely change Hull's appearance.

The project will include a 400-room hotel, provincial and federal office buildings, apartments, a museum at the base of the Tower of Light, the Hull city hall and the Galleria, a unique year-round garden under glass domes. $90 million project Hull centre okayed THE NATION Bears invade fairways KITIMAT, B.C. (CP) Seven grizzly bears have taken up residence ou a golf course at Kemano, SO miles south of here, and act as if they mean to stay. The bears came down from the mountains to feed on a nearby garbage dump and are giving golfers a bad case of the jitters. In a classic case of conservation officer Gerry Smythe says the golfers do have a problem.

He says he will go to Kemano today to see what can be done. So far -the bears have done no damage but golf scores have gone up. Bud worm infestation TORONTO (CP) Millions of spruce bud-worm moths have infested the Toronto and Hamilton areas. Kenneth Turner, an entomologist with the Ontario natural resources ministry, said today the tiny mpths probably were blown here from either Northern Ontario or Minnesota where, large infestations have been reported. The moths lay eggs that hatch in late May and early June.

The worms eat the emerging candles of fresh needles on the tips of spruce branches. Lethbridge sizzles LETHBRIDGE, Alta. (CP) An all-time record high temperature of 102.6 degrees was set for the city Tuesday by a mass of hot air that left southern Alberta sweltering. The temperature in Medicine, Hat was 101, Brooks 96 and Pincher Creek 96. The previous all-time record for Lethbridge was 102.4 degrees, set July 19, 1960.

The previous high for July 10 was 94.8 degrees in 1905. Cherries seized KELOWNA, B.C. (CP)' The British Colum- bia fruit board under RCMP observation Tuesday halted the packing house operation of Allied Growers Ltd. near here and seized an estimated 10 tons of cherries being readied for shipment to Alberta. Fruit board chairman Nigel Taylor of Ke-lowna said the fruit was being packed and stored in whrft he claimed was an unlicensed packing house contrary to provisions of the B.C.

Fruit Marketing Act. But Fred Riger, Allied general manager and one of 10 shareholders in the company, called the move "theft, utter theft." By CLAUDE LEMIEUX Hull Council Tuesday approved final plans for the $90-million Place du Centre, a provincial project that, in Mayor Jean-Marie Seguin's words, will completely change downtown Hull and will influence construction in the surrounding area. The project was announced by 'Premier Robert Bourassa last year but Hull now wants to par- ices meetings on ice Canadians insist on no sessions until soldiers back By STEPHEN SCOTT SAIGON (CP) The International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS) met for 13 minutes today then adjourned because of Canadian insistence that no routine business be conducted until two Canadian officers missing for two weeks are returned by the Viet Congi It was the second regular meeting of the commissioners at which no work was done as Canadian Ambassador Michel Gauvin attempted to put pressure on the Viet Cong by restricting ICCS business.

The huge development is to go up directly across the Ottawa River from' the Parliament buildings and will be in an area roughly bound by Hotel-de-Ville, Maisonneuve and the future Laurier-Tche Boulevard.

Its development was co-ordi nated with officials of the province, the Outaouais Development Corporation, Hull, the National Capital Commission and the federal department of public works. 1 1 $90-million construction cost is exclusive of land costs. The developer is Cadillac-Quebec Enterprises Inc. and financing will be done through the Quebec Deposit and Investment Fund and the Canadian National Railways' pension fund. The site covers nine acres, four of which will be open space, and total floor space will amount to 2.5-million square feet.

If Quebec grants the Hull request, the city will build a new city hall and a cultural centre on the city block bound by Victoria, Follard, Hotel-de-Ville and Maisonneuve Streets. The city has no precise plans for its city hall. Mayor Seguin said municipal regrouping of one sort or another will greatly influence the sized the building. The city expects to collect S1.2 million a year in taxes from the future Place du Centre. A report, prepared byJhe city's financial services, reveals that half that amount will come from the property tax while more than 25 per.

cent will be received through the sales tax.

He also said he is seeking Ontario health department permission to allow the provincial nursing inspector to speak with nursing home staff who were not on duty during Tuesday's inspection. "Otherwise, I will take depositions from the staff members myself and send them to Richard Potter's office to accompany the nursing inspector's report," he said. Dr.

Potter, the Ontario health minister, was asked to conduct the investigation of the Beacon Hill Lodge's Ottawa nursing home on Carling Avenue. The request came from both Mr. Reilly and from the nursing home administrator Moira Law. Mr. Reilly said he was told by staff members that fire, hoses had been used before the in spection to hose down areas where garbage was normally stored.

Aid particularly "odiferous" rooms were scrubbed down carefully on Monday, supposed ly to have them spick and span for the expected provincial in spection the next day, Mr. Reilly suggested. He said the nursing inspector Tuesday had tried to speak to staff members who were not on duty buf that the nursing home administration argued such action would be beyond the terms of reference of the inspection. He said the nursing inspector had told him she too would seek Toronto permission to extend the investigation to include staff who" "were not on duty.

Housing solution 'in works' By MIKE GILLESPIE TORONTO (Staff) A solution to the major inflationary problem of spiralling housing costs afflicting Ottawa and at least two other large Ontario centres is in the works, Provincial Treasurer John White indicated Tuesday. But just how and when government will go about achieving its anti-inflationary goal the treasurer and minister of intergovernmental affairs isn't prepared to say. Admittedly, bousing costs are a serious problem in Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton, Mr.

White said following an inaugural meeting of the beads of Ontario's six regional governments. The three cities have been caught up to a greater extent than most other Ontario centres in a period of virtual inflationary madness to which the treasurer says there is no easy solution. "We're working on it," is all he would say of the problem that in some areas of Ottawa has seen homes appreciate almost 100 per cent in little more than a year. Turn to Page IS HOUSING Few live in Paris air crash Brazilian liner plunges into field, 117 on board PARIS (AP) A Brazilian jetliner with engine trouble crashed into a field today as the pilot was approaching Orly Airport for an emergency landing. Officials reported only a few survivors among the 117 passengers and 17 crew members.

Police said three persons who were still alive had been taken from the wreckage. There were no immediate reports whether anybody on the ground at the crash site was killed. The Boeing 707 was on a flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Paris with a stopover in Rio de Ja neiro, officials reported. It was to land at Orly Airport. An airport officials said the pilot had reported he was having trouble with some of his four jet engines.

But there was no firm official indication of what caused the crash, which oc curred about three miles south of Orly. It was the second major crash in the Paris area in six weeks. A Soviet TU144 supersonic jetli ner crashed June 3 during a demonstration flight for specta tors at the Paris air show at Le Bourget Airport, the other main Pans air centre.

IDT- In the Commons. Leader Robert Stanfield asked if the government would review its economic policies and legislative priorities. He had called earlier Tuesday for a 90-day freeze on all income wages, prices, dividends and a followup program of controls to apply over the next 18 months to two years. Sales taxes on all clothing and on building materials should also be removed, Mr. Stanfield suggested in news release.

But government spokesmen, including Prime Minister Trudeau did not react to the taunts in the Commons with any policy statements. Prime Minister Trudeau said in reply to Conservative questioning that any government action against inflation would be determined by how successful efforts had been to aid those on fixed incomes. Outside the Commons, Mr. Trudeau said prices could not be controlled just by passing a law. He blamed food supply shortages for the rising prices.

The- only mason' Canada should have controls is to meet threats from controls in other countries, be added, saying that American controls had encouraged farmers to slaughter livestock instead of feeding them. Statistics Canada figures announced, earlier Tuesday had shown fresh produce and meat price increases led the way to the two per cent climb in food prices. According to the figures, groceries that could have been bought for $13.75 in June, 1972, would have cost $16.05 mis June. The May-to-June increase in food prices was the highest for the same two months since 1969, when food prices increased 2.2 per cent. Other prices in the consumer index rose less quick ly between May and June as prices for all items included in the survey averaged a 0.9 per cent increase.

Allan Lawrence (PC Northumberland-Durham) called for an immediate debate on the prices question, because the Commons is" expected to adjourn for the summer in the next few weeks. Replying to Opposition questions, Welfare Minister Marc Lalonde told the Commons that old-age pensions had been increased to $100 a month from $82.88 to help those on fixed incomes.

This remaking of Wellington into a parkway is necessary, explains the NCC, because already "a heavily-used traffic route, it may beecome even more overburdened when the new Portage Bridge opens." With the conversion of Wellington into what will be an extension of the Ottawa River Parkway, the government, reports the NCC, will continue taking control of the south side of the street and the three blocks between Elgin and Bank In the previously-announced plans for the development of Rideau Centre, the report elaborates on what it calls "three key elements." 1. Ridean Street will be closed where it flows into Confederation Square to create an enclosed pedestrian mall, with east-west traffic re-routed to cross the Rideau Canal on the MacKenzie King Bridge.

2. New construction will In Amin boycott? clude "a federal office build-ing, department store, a bos and rapid transit interchange, possibly a major hotel and parking garages." 3. MacKenzie Avenue instead of Sussex Drive will become the main north-south traffic artery, with York Street replacing St Patrick as a major east-west artery con-n to the Alexander Bridge by a tunnel under Major's HiU Park.

Ugandan leader Heels threatened' may pass up Commonwealth summit LONDON (AP) General Idi Amin of Uganda, reported to feel threatened by what he called the large number of "Zionist-imperialist" conspirators in Canada, has passed word be may stay away from the Commonwealth summit in Ottawa next month. But diplomatic authorities, who reported this Tuesday, stressed the unpredictable East African ruler could yet have another change of mind, on the matter.

Doubts 'arose over Amin's presence at the Commonwealth talks after he received Canadian High Commissioner W. C. M. Oliver in Kampala last week, informants said. The informants said Amin env phasizedjwbhings at the meeting whicnVnght keep him away from the Ottawa meeting: A "threat" posed to his security by conspirators in Canada.

It seems, informants suggested, Amin felt less than sure the Canadian authorities could ensure his safety. The hostile criticisms of his own, and Ugandan policies by newspapers and politicians in foreign and notably Com-. monwealth countries. It was clear, said the sources, that Amin deeply resented this. In the wake of his meeting wit Cahada's representative, senior Commonwealth diplomats concluded Amin was preparing to announce a definite decision to stay away from the Ottawa meeting.

Previously he had said publicly, he would be going. There is little doubt, nevertheless, the absence of Amin would ensure greater calm and less controversy at the 33-nation talks due to begin Aug. 2. Meantime, another factor in the situation has become a sub-j of intense speculation among Commonwealth governments. 4 It is that Amin may figure an absence of 10 days Tr so from his seat of power would tempt some rival to mount a coup..
