p2 UN secretary says Tradeam Canada welcome as peace mediator 3f if tmi I 1 I i 'i: Ernie Calcutt By John Ferguson Southern News UNITED NATIONS Pierre Trudeau would be welcome and effective as a globetrotting mediator for world peace, even if he steps down as Canada's prime minister, United Nations Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar said Tuesday. One way for Trudeau to continue his peace efforts could be as a Bill Rompkey, dumped from the federal cabinet five months ago, took his reappointment as mines minister in matter-of-fact fashion by pointing out 'you never know what's going to happen in p3 World J's I special UN mediator, Perez de Cuellar said in an interview at UN headquarters. While emphasizing that he did not want to eive the im pression he is Perez de Cuellar offering Trudeau a job, Perez de Cuellar said he thought there would be support at the UN Security Council for such a move. Perez de Cuellar said he fully supports Trudeau's peace initiative as one of several international efforts aimed at restoring trust between the superpowers. But he said the effort shouldn't end if Trudeau steps down.

In fact, Trudeau would gain even more flexibility after stepping down, he said, because he would have more time and he could speak openly without committing Canada to a position. The secretary general said he would make that view known to Trudeau when the two meet today for a discussion of the peace initiative. "I wouldn't like to give the impression I want him out of his job," he said. "But if he was no longer prime minister, he would be an ideal man to be a mediator in international affairs. "He is one of the few personalities who can be used as a great mediator for the many problems we face." Perez de Cuellar said Trudeau's credentials for the role include his bilingualism and biculturalism and that he is known internationally as a liberal, open-minded politician.

Although the secretary general clearly wasn't trying to insert himself into domestic politics, his remarks undercut those who insist (Role, page 10) MacEachen to meet Gromyko Citizen staff External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen said today that Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko has agreed to meet with him at next week's disarmament conference in Stockholm. MacEachen said final details of the meeting in Sweden are still being worked out. He would not elaborate. The Soviets' acceptance of the Canadian request for a meeting is seen in diplomatic circles as a positive signal for Prime Minister Trudeau to take his peace initiatives to Moscow.

He was 51.

Calcutt suffered the stroke at his home Thursday and was taken to the Riverside Hospital where he remained in intensive care until Monday. He was transferred to General Hospital Monday night because of better facilities, said CFRA news director Steve Madely. But his condition deteriorated until his death at about 11 p.m. Tuesday. The voice of the Ottawa Rough Riders for 20 years, Calcutt continued to offer blunt assessments of the team's performance even after the club and his radio station came under the same ownership.

"I'm sure he was aware of the position he was in," said Citizen sports columnist Eddie MacCabe, "but he was always candid about the Riders and I never found him to be intimidated by anything. "Ernie was such a vital part of the sports community for so long that his death will be a much bigger loss than simply the passing of a sports broadcaster." Calcutt worked hard on big and small community charities and sports events. "He was a great civic worker," said County Court Judge Keith Flanigan. Described by Madely as an "ultimate professional" and a man dedicated to the community Calcutt began working part time at the radio station in 1961. In 1964 his love of sports lured him away from a career with Metropolitan Life Insurance to full-time radio sports reporting.

If Mulroney becomes the next prime minister, it could become one of the most strategic spots in the Canadian political arena for improving the status of women. Jocelyne Cote-O'Hara, a senior adviser with Petro-Canada International, was recently selected by a committee Mulroney appointed last December to find the best candidate for the job. "She is by far the best," said a spokesman for the party's women's caucus who asked not to be identified. "Her credentials are excellent, just excellent." The spokesman wouldn't comment further because Cote-O'Hara's appointment won't become official until Mulroney meets with her "probably within a week." "The final decision is up to him.

He asked us to recommend someone and she's our choice. But their chemistry may not click, who knows?" The committee was made up ol Kay Stanley, national president of the party's women's caucus, national party director Janis Johnson and Conservative MP Flora (PC, page 10) fi Defence Department's official, annual policy statement.

Morality Staff Insp. John McCombie said police found an item of clothing, which they believe belonged to the rapist, in the apartment. "It's a very good investigative lead," McCombie said, adding that six investigators returned to the building this morning to interview neighbors. Late this morning, McCombie said "a good number" more investigators have been added to the case in "an all-out effort until we get the guy. Police were hoping to interview the woman later today.

LOUIS Airplanes travelling at 20 times the speed of sound arriving at any destination on Earth in less than two hours will be flying by the year 2000, a major aircraft manufacturer says.

The airplanes, known as transatmospheric vehcles or TAVs, are being designed at the company's offices in St. Louis for the U.S. Air Force, an official of McDonnell Douglas Corp. said today. However, the official said a modified ver He said those speeds are faster than 3,000 miles per hour more than four times the speed of sound.

But at altitudes of 100,000 feet, Robertson said the craft could move at up to 20 times the speed of sound because of thin or no atmosphere. The Air Force asked McDonnell to investigate the possibility of a plane that could propel itself into suborbital flight and return to the atmosphere for conventional flight. sion of the plane could be used in regular commercial flights, probably within 20 years. "An F-15 Eagle fighter can fly from Maine to the Indian Ocean in 17 hours," said Paul A. Czysz, TAV program manager.

"A TAV could make the same trip in less than two hours." Said company official Art Robertson: "It may need to take off vertically and streak directly to 100,000 to 500,000 feet, orbit, and then descend into the atmosphere to fly more or less like a conventional plane, but at higher.
