The Journal regrets any inconvenience tliis may have caused the Semyroz family. FaiTtunki I I XV EDMONTON I Vancouvet 'V I 1 DETROIT (UPD General Motors Corp. Is willing to fix a possible steering defect in a 1960 Cadillac owned by Pope Paul VI but so far the giant automaker doesn't knew if the Pope wants the car repaired.

The Cadillac, donated to the Vatican by some 20 Notre Dame University alumni, was among the vehicles the tional highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA) discovered had a defect that could lead to total loss of steering control. The agency discovered the defect in the cars five years ago but a recall was ordered for the cars in the U.S. only recently, when GM lost a long legal battle. Even that, however, left a problem with the Pope's car. The safety administration lacks the authority to recajl cars in foreign countries.

NHTSA administrator Joan Claybrook Monday asked GM chairman Thomas Murphy if be had any suggestions about how the Pope might get his steering fixed. Colleen Belli, a GM spokeswoman, said GM routinely extends domestic recalls to affected automobiles overseas and in Canada. She said the Pope's car would be fixed.

Peak Pope Paul VI Underworld figure faces meaty tax evasion count Suspect told how killed three women LONDON. Ont. (CP) A police inspector testified Monday that Russell Maurice Johnson, charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of three women, gave police unsigned statements last summer describing how he killed them. London police Insp. Robert Young told Ontario Supreme Court that the statements were obtained after Johnson's arrest in July, 1977.

Johnson has pleaded not guilty to the deaths of Dian Beitz, 23, of Guelph, on Dec. 31. 1974; Luella Jeanne George. 23, of London, on April 15, 1977; and Donna Veld-boom, 22, of London on July 15, 1977. Young said Johnson complained of uncontrollable outbursts of violence and pleaded for psychiatric help following his arrest.

"There have been so many, so many terrible tilings," Young quoted Johnson as saying. The inspector described late-night wanderings by the 30-year-old automotive stock clerk at Ford Motor Co. of Canada Ltd. in nearby Johnson, a weight-lifter, told police he once climbed as high as the 15th floor of an apartment, only to find the patio doors locked, Young said. The inspector said Johnson voluntarily admitted himself to London Psychiatric Hospital in 1969, but did not receive sufficient help.

Johnson was quoted as telling Young: "I wish I could have got help years ago. Those people would have been alive today." The police statement quotes Johnson as saying he entered the kitchen of the apartment looking for a women with whom he had lived and Miss Beitz discovered him.

MONTREAL (CP) The Quebec Court of Appeal has ruled that Kellog's Co. of Canada and Kellog of Canada Ltd.

did not violate a court injunction banning the use of cartoon character Yogi Bear in television commercials. I The three-justice panel said Monday tAe evidence did not show that the breakfast food company intended to violate an earlier court ruling which ordered them to stop using animated cartoons in television commercials aimed at children under 12. Justices Fred Kaufman, Laurent Belan-ger and Andre Dube ruled that the com pany had taken the necessary measures to prevent the showing of the banned commercials. The reappearance of the cartoon characters was blamed on a lack of communication between the advertising and program scheduling departments of the CBC. The original injunction banning the advertisements was based on the Quebec Consumer Protection Act.
