Jim Smyth, spokesman for the council, said strikers were being told to return to work because "we don't feel there is any point in prolonging the hardship." But he left open the possibility that unless their demands were met the strike will begin again. It has been not called off completely, he said.

Smyth said there would be a phased return to work, and that heavy industry could not resume until Monday because sufficient power would not be available until then. However, the council sent some utility workers back to work today. The announcement came as Prime Minister Harold Wilson called a meeting in London with his cabinet to discuss ways to solve the crisis prompted by the resignation Tuesday of Protestant members of Chief Minister Brian Faulkner's executive, the Ulster government. Leaders of the walkout gave no immediate reason for calling it off. The move reversed early extremist pledges not to return to work until Wilson made his announcement on the provincial administration.

Strike leaders, who want an end to Northern Ireland's first attempt at sharing power between its Protestant majority and Roman Catholic minority, are demanding the release or trial of 31 persons arrested during the strike, -and said their aim still is fresh election's to the assembly. FEARS EASED End of the strjke eased fears of Roman Catholics, cut off from supplies by Protestant road barricades, that their families faced starvation. Roman Catholic spokesmen in Belfast said Tuesday they only two days' food supplies, with the only hope of replenishment the blockade-running (trucks travelling at night to the Irish Republic. They said there was increasing danger of shootings between the Protestant extremists and the Irish Republican Army, which was helping the truck drivers evade the IRA has been quiet during the first 15 days of the strike, but Tuesday night a bomb in Londonderry critically injured a British soldier, and military authorities feared it might herald renewal of the violence which already has claimed 1,030 lives in Northern Ireland. In London, "political sources said Prime Minister Harold Wilson desperately anx-i that power-sharing should continue in the embattled province.

Wilson called a meeting of senior ministers to consider a way out of the crisis.

Spinola told a cheering crowd in Oporto it was time for Portuguese to decide which road to take: "The road of salvation or of ruin." "It is time for every Portuguese to conclude by himself that any form of anarchy ends fatally and opens the door to new dictatorships, to regimes like the one overthrown April 25," Spinola said.

Meanwhile, prospects for a ceasefire in Portuguese Guinea seemed bright today with the expected return to London of Portuguese Foreign Minister Mario Soares after consultations in Lisbon with President Antonio de Spinola. Both the Portuguese delegation and representatives of the nationalist movement which declared independence last September, have said they want an agreement to bring peace after 3 years of bitter war in the colony. in Pretoria, Prime Ministers Ian Smith of Rhodesia and John Vorster of South Africa announced jointly 'today they are not concerned' whether neighboring Por-. tuguese Territory Mozambique had a black or white government so long as it was good and stable.

Conservative leader Stanfield unveiled his first major campaign promise here Tuesday night some relief for homeowners suffering from high mortgage rates. He committed his party to an "excessive interest deduction" scheme which would (Mort election stories, Paget 52-55) allow taxpayers to subtract interest payments in excess of 8 per cent on their principal residence. "This was the approximate rate in effect when Mr. Trudeau first began to mismanage the economy," the Tory leader told a southern Ontario campaign kick-off rally attended by about 1,600. Under the program no taxpayer could deduct more than $1,000 in a single year, bringing him savings on his taxes ranging into several hundred dollars depending on his total taxable income.

Mr. Stanfield used the case of a taxpayer with a $20,000 mortgage at 12 per cent to illustrate the Such an individual could deduct one-third of the interest payments the 4 per cent above the basic 8-per-cent rate and reduce his taxable income by JERUSALEM (AP) Israel and Syria wrapped up a separation of forces agreement today after State Secretary Henry Kissinger of the United States gained a major Israeli concession on Palestinian guerrilla attacks. Premier Golda Meir was expected to make an announcement on the agreement tonight. Israeli and Syrian commanders will sign the pact in Geneva within a few days. I Washington, President Nixon announced the agreement and called it a stride towards a permanent peace settlement for the entire Middle East.

At the United Nations in New York, a UN spokesman said the United States had in- formed the world body that Israel and Syria had agreed to disengage their forces on the Golan Heights front. U.S. Ambassador John Scali Informed Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim of the agreement. The spokesman said if requested the UN could shift troops from Its emergency force standing between Egyptian and Israeli troops in Sinai to man a buffer zone between the Syrians and Israelis on the Golan Heights. Unofficial Israeli informants said 1,250 UN troops would set up the buffer and that it would be one to four miles wide.

They said it would, stretch from Mount along the Golan Heights, including the abandoned Golan capital of Qunei-tra and a strip 300 yards west of the wrecked town. They on each side of the buffer the armies would be reduced in two corridors, each six miles wide. In the front-line corridor, troops would be limited to 6.0C0, with 75 tanks and 36 short-range In the deeper zone, each side would be restricted to 450 tanks, with no long-range artillery ranti-aircralt missiles. The Israeli radio reported that Kissinger has promised Israel American safeguards against Palestinian terrerist activity against Israeli territory from Syria. Meanwhile, Israeli officials said Mrs.

Meir may quit office in the next 24 hours and turn over the government to Premier-Designate Yitzhak Rabin. OK CABINET Rabin won approval for a new coalition cabinet Tuesday night from Mrs. Meir's Labor party. He announced to President Ephraim Katzir that he was ready to take over with a new government that left out Defence Minister Moshe Dayan and some of Israel's most familiar The same individual earning $15,000 a year would save $340 a year in taxes if he had a $30,000 mortgage at 12 per cent, Conservative officials explained after the -Stanfield announcement. In his speech, Mr, Stanfield said there could be no justification for allowing a deduc-tion of all mortgage interest at this time because a similar deal would have to be offered to renters as well as homeowners.

"We cannot afford such a program at this time," he said. "Far better that we concentrate on alleviating hardships by permitting the deduction of excessive interest, together with meaningful tax reductions for those most disadvantaged by inflation the low income taxpayer and the old age pensioner." Meanwhile, the Conservative party will back Charles Thomas as its candidate in Moncton, party leader, Robert Stanfield said today. And he told reporters that if Moncton, Mayor Leonard Jones, nominated by local. Conservatives Monday night, wins election, he will not be accepted into the party caucus. "I am fully prepared, if necessary, to risk my leadership and prospects of electoral success on this issue," said Mr.

Stanfield. He made the statements after meeting with Mayor Jones and the Moncton Conservative association. The mayor is a bitter foe of the Official Languages Act and Mr. Stanfield has said Mr. Jones has identified himself with efforts to prevent the French-speaking minority from achieving language equality in Moncton.

Lougheed wants to keep ring road away from Bowness In the case of a married man with two children under the age of 16 and earning $10,000 a year, the Tory plan would save $90 in income tax when the individual had a $15,000 mortgage at 10 per.cent. Major U.S. food-drug chain expands to Alberta market ton within the next three ways department's roadway plan. A copy of the study, which was leaked to The Herald earlier this year, said a ring road without allied rapid transit and utility trunk line development plus strict environ-' mental controls could be a "disaster." Part of the planned roadway would damage some of the aesthetic value of the city's largest park and water reservoir, Glenmore, by skirting its western edge, the report said. The reservoir lies partly in the southeast corner of the premier's constituency.

According to the provincial plan, the first stage of the would cut across the Bowness community and bisect a proposed recreation area there along 'the Bow River as well. The southern leg of the western part of the project, like the Bowness section, would have been an extension of the existing Sarcee Trail. After both candidates for the Conservative nomination in Calgary Bow strongly protested the provincial freeway proposal, Mr. Lougheed said he had received their "message." He told the nominating meeting of 400 persons that he will personally get to work to see that the proposal is to bed." By promising to do his best to quash the Sarcee Trail northward extension proposal, the premier wasn't necessarily saying he's going to ask the cabinet to forget the overall ring road plan entirely. Most of it would run through as' yet unpopulated areas and there could be alternatives to the objectionable portions.

Municipal Affairs Minister Dave. Russell has said the ring road study is just evidence that the government is studying a way to build one. Calgary, Bow Socred MLA Roy Wilson, an opponent of the Sarcee Trail extension, has suggested that a link-up could be made to the east of the present proposal to make the Shaganappl Trail into a ring road leg. By Gordon Jaremko IHerald Staff WriterJ Premier Peter Lougheed promised Conservative supporters Tuesday night he will try to see that the controversial ring road extension to the Sarcee Trail won't run through Bowness. The premier hinted to a nominating meeting in the provincial constituency Calgary Bow that his administration probably will pick a public transit system instead (See nomination story.

Mr. Lougheed said the provincial government's mass transit policy probably will involve a system designed for peoole who do not drive. Mr. Lougheed indicated that he has a personal stake in seeing that the ring road proposal is never implemented.

The move comes at a time when Safeway their major competition here, has had its growth in Calgary and Edmonton restricted through Alberta Supreme Court orders brought down in September, 1973. The order restricts enlargement of Safeway stores, the acquisition of sites and the opening of new stores until 1979. Until 1978, Safeway, with 39 "stores in Calgary and 35 in Edmonton, is allowed to build only three new stores in either city.

Until mid-1976, the company cannot acquire further sites for new stores and is not allowed to increase the square-footage of existing stores until mfd-1977.
