-Be I '-7 2flThe VANCOUVER SUN: Jan. 4. 1972 Parties' opinions collide over work of long session I 35 9- Ji 1" 1 i III 9 at i .0 v- Jt "i 4 'V i i r7 1 2 BV BILGRADE $152,000 bid for chess final NEW YORK (AP) The Yugoslavian capital of Belgrade has offered a high bid of $152,000 to be the site of this year's world championship chess match between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer. Canada bid slightly less than half that sum. The U.S.

Chess Federation disclosed Monday that 10 nations and five cities had competed in the bidding that produced the largest cash prize offers in the history of chess. U.S. grandmaster Fischer, who defeated Tigran Petros-ian of the Soviet Union last fall in Buenos Aires to reach the championship round, said the bids were "not bad they'll have to do." Belgrade's offer does not mean it will automatically be named the host city. Both Fischer and world champion Spassky, of the Soviet Union, will review the bids and submit their preferences. Other bids received were from Iceland, Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, Argentina, Canada, Chicago, Brazil and the Netherlands, $80,000 each; West Germany, $92,000, and Greece, $52,000, among others.

Winner of the 24-game championship match scheduled to start in June, will received -62Vi per cent of the total prize with the loser getting 37 per cent. 1 li: i lL I OTTAWA (CP) The parliamentary session now recessed is the third longest in Canadian history and, depending on the viewpoint, notable either for its legislative record or for the number of bills left hanging. As the Commons rose in a testy mood last Friday for its delayed holiday recess, Liberal House leader Allan J. Mac-Eachen said MPs "can be satisfied thai a substantial amount of government business has been completed." On the other side of the Commons his Conservative counterpart, Gerald W. Baldwin, was calling it shocking that 20 of 68 bills forecast in the October, 1970, throne speech were stillborn.

This session, scheduled to be wound up on or shortly after Feb. 16, now has stretched 242 sitting days and is the first since 1940-42 to straddle three calendar years. The record session was 1966-67 with 250 days of business. The government is well behind on its timetable and when a new session begins, the throne speech is likely to include many carry-overs from the current sitting. Earlier negotiations on an-other controversial farm measure, the grain stabilization bill, were not so successful and this bill was dropped after a week of debate.

The government had planned to replace the Temporary Wheat Reserves Act with this new legislation but it ran into Prairie dissent. Farther back into the session, the long-predicted Canada Development Corporation was finally established. Arrest and bail procedures were overhauled. There were major changes in consumer-protection laws and changes in the, labor standards code. Veteran's pensions and allowances were brought up to date.

There was a reorganization of federal courts and the Regional Development Incentives Act was drastically changed. A textile and clothing board was established and a tax review board was set up to replace the income tax appeal board. There was a liltle-debated bill that increased MPs' salaries and allowances to $26,000 from $18,000. The total income of Senators also went up, to $22,000 from $15,000. The session also involved two budgets, along with a hectic round of committee ASS The controversial competition act, now being redrafted, is still to be dealt with.

So are the equally-controversial amendmerits to the Canada Labor Code. Still to be considered too is the new family income security plan, one of whose provisions is a revamped system of family allowances. Others are measures to outlaw wiretapping and electronic snooping. All of these, along with some 15 other less important bills, are left over from the 1970 throne speech. The Quebec crisis threw this session off schedule almost at once, after its beginning Oct.

7, 1970. The commons spent 14 days debating the invoking of the War Measures Act and approval of the Public Order Act. The government did not expect either that 23 days would be spent on a bill to reorganize departments, creating for one thing the new environment department. Then, after the commons had taken a summer recess from June 30 to Sept. 7, there were 50 days on the bulky income tax bill.

The government finally choked off commons discussion on the tax bill just before Christmas by use of a debating limiting House rule. Since Sept. 7, th- only major business aside from income tax was the bill to establish national farm products marketing boards a measure that earlier took up two months of controversial debate in committee. With the seven-week winter recess dangling over the heads of MPs, the government insisted this bill be passed before the House recessed. aP Wirephoio He took peek around zoo in Memphis, then clutched in mother's teeth, went for ride.

Indian group fails in co-op venture 4lH mind since 1954 but until the pollution issue developed, he failed to have a motive that wasn't too "egocentric." By the time he reached Yuma, in late September, 1970, he had made kangaroo-skin boots with rocker-shaped soles to help him roll along. He got about 1,000 miles out of each pair. Horujko, who owns an 80-acre farm near Chase, was "living out in the country more or less as a loner or hermit, cutting pulp-wood for his living." his brother-in-law, Walker Kiak of Reed City, said Monday. "He was always, by nature, a loner." When asked how his hmtlier-in-lavv might get back, Kiak said, "No one seems to know." he had "arrived in Ushuaia at the municipal building, having just been greeted by the mayor." "He met me on the road earlier today," Horujko wrote. "He has given me lodging and a banquet like meal and I am to go on TV and meet the governor of Tierra del Fuego in a few minutes." According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest walk is one of 18,500 miles from Singapore to London made in 1957.

Horujko startled his relatives in 1969 when he announced he would walk the length of two continents to protest automobile exhaust pollution. He flew to Anchorage to start tlie hike, which began in March, 1970. The journey had been on his CHASE, Mich. (UPI) -Andy Horujko, a hermit who yearned to go for a long walk, has completed his trek from Anchorage, Alaska with a stop in Vancouver, B.C. in July 1970 to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of South America.

"I walked and walked and walked and made it," the 49-year-Oid engineer told his relatives in a letter from Ush-uaia, Tierra del Fuego, dated Dec. 23 but made public Monday. Along the way, Horujko went through 12 pairs of homemade kangaroo boots, drank "the worst coffee in the world in Colombia," and fought off a bat in the Chilean desert, all to "protest pollution and to do my thing." In his letter, Horujko said 11 THIS VALUABLE COUPON WABASCA, Alta. (CP) A' group of Metis and Indians in this remote community are trying to salvage hope from disaster after the failure of their government-sponsored co-operative timber company. The Alberta government paid almost $300,000 for trucks, bulldozers and skid-ders in an experiment to let enterprising natives develop a modern business by themselves.

He says the people of the community had little understanding of how a co-op works. There was no expert manager and there were no skilled hands to keep the equipment working. The co-op has admitted its deficiencies, is working to overcome them and now has new hopes for success in chapter two of the co-op story.

Chapter one began when the Wabasca o-O a i formed by Metis and Bigstone Indian band members, bought the equipment with $300,000 which the former Social Credit government of Alberta gave them in the late 1960s. Representatives of the co-op had descended on the legislature, demanding to be helped so thev could help themselves. "We wanted to do it our way," said Auger, 39, who was associated with the project in its early stages before he left to take another job. He was persuaded to return in an attempt to salvage the operation. He said the co-op's problems had mounted, especially since it lacked the vital operating capital to preserve its investment.

"We needed a manager," said Auger. "We should have been persuaded to have one." pnone mu x-uiuu fa Television mmi at disk Sagy mill ICU I UUJUI I ffflh. for which Ben was blamed. Then the real slayer made a death-bed confession and all Ben had to fret about was the life term he still had to serve. Feslus went to retrieve Ben from his hiding place but couldn't do it because he felt the man should be with his wife and child rather than in a prison cell.

Then came the ending. As Ben, Elizabeth and baby -headed towards the state line, Matt joined Festus. Did the marshal try to stop the fleeing family? No sir, He pretended not to see them and turned his horse in the direction of Dodge City. Why did he do it? That's easy. If you'd been in the 1 saddle for nearly two decades, you'd have days too when you'd rather go home for a hot bath, a shot of Geri-tol and a fast game of bingo after supper.

no one had asked her to move in. "I'm going to stay here as long as you need me," she said to Elizabeth. Lying in bed, Elizabeth was too weak to suggest how long that might be and Kitty stayed put for a couple of days. Meanwhile, Ben had difficulty making friends in his new neighborhood, the prison block. A sadistic guard beat him to the floor but Ben managed to overpower the guard and escaped.

Wrhen Ben was gone, another inmate killed the guard. In keeping with the series' non-violence policy, we didn't see the weapon plunged into the man's back but it could be assumed he used a knife or had extremely sharp fingernails. Ben and Elizabeth got together again and fretted a bit over the guard's murder, teat ship prise for us. Ben would get his wife and baby, all right, but darned if it didn't come about because Matt Dillon, for once in his whiter-than-white career, actually turned his back on upholding the law. The events that led to Matt's unexpected behavior were set in motion when Ben was sentenced.

Kitty, a Mary Worth type who has to be in on everything, was there for the trial finale, silting beside the marshal. "I'll bet my badge he's innocent but I just can't prove it," Matt told her. Kitty, who used to be sweet on the lawman, greeted his comment with a cold stare. After enduring 17 years on the series, she has apparently grown independent and, if Matt suddenly asks her to marry hiin, she'll probably turn him down because marriage would mean having to share her pension cheque with him. While Matt was off-camera, feeling concerned over Ben's plight, the convicted horse thief's wife, Elizabeth, had her baby.

Kitty showed up at the birth scene, naturally, and brought her valise with her, although You could tell Ben Justin didn't steal those horses. He had an innocent face and, what's more, when he looked across the courtroom to where his pregnant wife sat, he obviously loved her: horse thieves in TV westerns simply don't look at their pregnant wives that way. The jury, however, ignored Ben's angelic glow and brought in a guilty verdict. Even the judge was amazed. "He always worked hard, lived for the good book, and he's got a wife who happens to oe in the family way," he said.

Still and all, he said, he had a duty to perform and, reluctantly, he handed Ben a life sentence. That's how Gunsmoke started Monday night. With clean-livin', wife-lovin' Ben Justin being shuffled off to Kansas State penitentiary for a crime that any donkey with eyes in his head could see he didn't have the personality to commit. The rest of the episode, we realized, would be taken up by ways and means of reuniting Gentle Ben with his bride and new-born son and clearing him of the troublesome horse stealing accusation. But Gunsmoke had a sur HIGHLIGHTS composer was at the peak of his creative powers.

rmssing OTTAWA (CP) Indonesia, at the request of the Canadian government, is looking for a ship carrying Canadian relief wheat for East Bengal which has disappeared. An external affairs department spokesman said the 8.362-ton Pretty, carrying 7,000 tons of wheat for East Bengal, left Singapore in December apparently looking for a place to sell its cargo. Misunderstandings arose when the Pretty, along with four other chartered ships, picked up the wheat at Chit-tagong from a larger ship for delivery to Singapore, the spokesman added, The wheat was to be temporarily stored in Singapore while authorities for United Nations relief operations waited for the India-Pakistan war to end. Owners of the Pretty are re-questing an "exorbitant" amount about $100,000 for shipping the grain, the spokesman said.
