CALGARY (CP) Secretary of State Pat Mahoney said Thursday he was embarrassed by news that a meeting between cabinet ministers and international business executives had been arranged by a U.S.

management firm. He told a political forum that meetings with various interest groups are held all the time, "but it comes as a shock that this was promoted as a commercial undertaking by somebody in New York." Business International Management Services called the April 17-19 meeting off Thursday after the prime minister's office expressed displeasure at promotion material the firm had issued on the subject. Mahoney said the government intended to discuss trade implications of tax re form legislation and not its foreign ownership policy which the businessmen had understood was the meeting's purpose. Foreign ownership issues dominated the forum, which included 1 Woolliams, Conservative MP for Calgary North, and Barry Pashak, New Democratic Party candidate in the same riding. When Pashak asked what the government intends to do about 300 Canadian firms taken over by foreign interests last year with 60 per cent of the takeover capital provided by Canadians, Mahoney said he was unable to answer because the information is confidential.

Woolliams said the nationality of a company's top management has more bearing on its control than its shareholders' citizenship. Hajy! Sun Staff Reporter CAMPBELL RIVER Students at the controversial secondary school here "do as well as students at the average non-accredited secondary school," according to a report from the school district superintendent. The conclusion was contained in a report from superintendent William Ramsay on the showing of students in the January department of education examinations. The examinations became mandatory for all Grade 12 students at the school, headed by principal John Young, after the school's accreditation was withdrawn last fall. Department officials said at the time the results of the January examinations would be an important element of any decision to return the ac- creditation.

The results and an accompanying analysis released by Ramsay show the Campbell River students above the pro-v 1 i a 1 average for non-accredited schools in four subjects and below average in another four. The students were above average in history, biology, geography and physics, although only one Campbell River student wrote an examination in that subject. Their marks were below the provincial average in literature, mathematics, chemistry and French. In three subjects the var-i iance above or below the average was about one per cent; in two others it was four per cent Ramsay said that although the l's performance shows some improvement, "it is nt likely that these results in themselves provide substantial justification the immediate reinstatement of accreditation." He said the number of students who dropped out of courses was large. He also said in the report that the number of students given passing grades by the school was substantially higher in six subjects than the number who actually passed examinations.

School district director of instruction Walter Fogg said today the final decision on granting accreditation to the school will be made by the' department's accreditation committee. He said he expects the examination results will be one of many aspects of the school operation the committee will consider. Young said today he was not sent a copy of tht tabulation of results released to the media. "It's very improper that the district superintendent should send out results to the media and not communicate with me at all," he said. But he added that the results show 88 per cent of the Campbell River students who wrote the January examination made passing grades.

He said that is considered a very high percentage. "The school's performance has always been of the same high order," he maintained. "The withdrawal of accreditation -was a political move and it will be given back for political reasons," he said. 1 Campbell River school board, requested Young's resignation March 21. He refused and the board referred the matter for legal advice.

BELGRADE SPURNS CHESS BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) This city will abide by its decision to withdraw its sponsorship from the world chess championship match between Bobby Fischer of the United States and Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union, a spokesman said today. The spokesman declared Belgrade would agree to stage the match only if the U.S. Chess Federation deposited a $35,000 guarantee against Fischer's non-appearance.

LINKED WITH CANCER A thunderstorm dropped hail on the Lower Mainland Thursday afternoon and the weather office forecast mixed rain and snow for today and Saturday. The spring-winter hodge-psdge was blamed by the forecaster on an unstable flow of cool air bringing snow and low temperatures to the whole province.

At Prince Rupert, a two-inch snowfall Thursday brought the snow depth on the ground to four inches. Temperature in the northern city overnight ranged from a high of 37 to a low of 30. Snow was falling heavily at several places on the north coast early today. Hail whitened the ground in parts of Burnaby and South Vancouver Thursday during a thunderstorm that passed over about 5 p.m. At Whistler Mountain, north of Squamish, more than a foot of snow fell and the wind reached 50 mph.

Beef tested for hormone some North American medical centres for treatment of, threatened abortions.

In recent months, health officials have warned doctors not to give DES to pregnant women as a result of the 80 cases of vaginal cancer linked to the chemical reported in the U.S. Dr. A. B. Morrison, head of the federal health protection branch said Thursday that the treatment doses of DES implicated in the human cases of vaginal cancer are much higher than the levels of DES that might be found in meats.

But he said health experts are concerned about possible long-term effects of even low levels of DES in meats. At present no DES is permitted in beef sold for consumption in Canada. Federal By JEFF CARRUTHERS Special to The Sun OTTAWA Samples of beef from across Canada are being analysed by the federal health department to see if the meat Candians eat contains any DES, recently linked with a rare type of vaginal cancer in women. DES is a hormone chemical widely used in Canada and the U.S. as growth promoter in beef cattle, it has been the focus of criticism on and off for a number of years.

Most recently the chemical has been linked with a rare malignant tumor of the vagina found developing in young women 20 to 25 years after their mothers were treated with DES.

And what scientists have developed techniques in recent months for detecting as little as 1.5 parts per billion of DES. The DES check of beef started late last month, Dr. Morrison said.

By the time the monitoring is finished in a few months some 2,500 meat samples from across Canada, wll be tested at the health protection branch's regional laboratories in Halifax and Toronto. In the U.S., a similar survey revealed about 0.1 per cent of samples tested had measurable amounts of DES. If the same were true in Canada, two or possibly three samples would be found to be contaminated in the Canadian survey. Less than 100 samples have been tested to date and no DES has been detected in the beef livers. If DES if found in beef liver, the health department scientists plan to measure the amount found in the red meat, (expected to be lower than in the liver).

Dr. Morrison explained that farmers are supposed to take beef cattle off DES-containing feed at least 48 hours before slaughter, so that no DES remains in the meat after marketing.

Mr. Justice Patrick Galli-gan said the courts belong to the public and suggested that perhaps the best way to give the public access to the courts would be to install television cameras.

"The courts are theirs. The law is theirs. The law is not ours nor are the courts." At 41, Mr. Justice Galligan is the youngest member of the Supreme Court's trial division: He said lawyers are often guilty of talking in a language that is incomprehensible to the layman. "I don't see why we don't turn television cameras on the courts because if we did we would soon cut out this nonsense." He said it made no sense to let citizens sit in court, and let newspaper reporters gather material but prohibit TV coverage.

"We have to face the fact that no longer in our society this profession answerable only to Us members but to the public at large."
