He was 66.

Born Feb. 27, 1919, in Shaftesbury, Dorset, England, Hull immigrated to Vancouver after the Second World War and worked as a waiter, a janitor and a civil servant before he began writing at age 38. About half of Mr. Hull's books were written in collaboration with others, including The Peter Principle, written with former University of B.C. professor Dr.

Laurence Peter. His favorite work was Man's Best Fiend, a melodramatic attack on domestic dogs and their owners. At the time of his death, Mr. Hull was collaborating with a Hollywood, musical director on a new production of The Drunkard. OTTAWA (CP) Progressive Conservative patronage is okay because patronage is a Canadian tradition and the Liberals handed it out for years, former Liberal solicitor-general Robert Kaplan says.

"There is an area where I think it's important for the government to have political confidence in the people to whom it's giving government business," Kaplan told reporters Friday. But Kaplan adamantly maintained his opposition to Justice Minister John Crosbie's decision allowing his two lawyer sons to work as legal agents in Newfoundland for his own department. "Where competitive bidding doesn't work, where developing the image of the government doesn't work, where price competition is not a factor, patronage has been the traditional Canadian method of awarding work in those areas," Kaplan said. "And the Liberals did it and the Conservatives are doing it now." But he repeated his complaints that Crosbie personally approved a list of law firms, to act as legal agents in the province, which included two firms his sons, Michael and Chesley, work for. After the fifth straight day of questions about the issue in the Commons, Kaplan said that was blatant nepotism, which he called a betrayal of the public trust that is supposed to be prevented by the government's conflict of interest guides.

"This isn't patronage that I'm complaining about, this is nepotism," Kaplan said after failing to get Prime said, Mengele's dental records sent to Sao Paulo date from 1938 and may be of limited value. "A lot can happen to a man's teeth in over 40 years, and we have no other positive means of identification of the skeleton," he said. Brazil has insisted on conducting the investigation and has declined formal offers of assistance by experts from Israel, West Germany and the United States who arrived here Friday, according to Brazilian and West German officials. Tuma said he would ask U.S. and West German authorities to declassify war documents with handwriting specimens to serve as a comparison.

Police say the man who may be Mengele drowned on Feb. 7, 1979, while swimming at the beach resort of Bertioga, 75 kilometres from Sao Paulo. Continued from page 1 who had returned to Europe from Brazil in 1975. The burial took place in a small cemetery in the Portuguese colonial town of Embu, 27 kilometres from Sao Paulo. Mengele, known as the Angel of Death of the Auschwitz concentration camp, is accused of ordering the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Jews during the war.

If alive today, he would be 74 years old. "There are very strong indications that the remains do indeed belong to Mengele," Tuma said. However, Jose Antonio de Mello, assistant director of the city morgue, said: "It is quite possible that we will not be able to give a 100-per-cent positive identification of the remains." De Mello found seven teeth Friday when the skull was exhumed. He found two dental bridges or prostheses of recent workmanship, as well as a gold filling that could date to the period covered by medical records sent to the West German embassy in Brasilia and forwarded to the medical legal institute. Hans Eberhard Klein, the Frankfurt official in charge of the Mengele case since 1974, said at a press conference that there was scant data available to aid tests on the grave's remains, and only Mengele's height (about 5 feet 10 inches) and his date of birth (March 16, 1911) were known for sure.

There was no reliable information about wounds, so it was unclear whether bone tests could prove helpful. Moreover, Klein Minister Brian Mulroney to reprimand Crosbie. He argued to reporters outside the Commons that even Newfoundland Conservatives "seeing now that their turn has come" are probably angered because instead of them getting the government work, it is going to Crosbie's own family. "We were hammered when we were the government for our appointments and we defended them in the House," Kaplan said. "We explained what patronage was about.

"But I can't remember a case where a minister of the crown steered government legal work to one of his children's law firms or to one of his children or anything like that. I'm not a complainer about patronage. I don't see much alternative to patronage, but nepotism is an insult to the political system of the country and it's an insult to the Canadian people." Kaplan said Crosbie cannot treat government business like family business, where it would be natural for family members to hand out legal work to the two Crosbie boys, new at law. But Mulroney brushed off Kaplan's questions in the Commons as "vexatious and spurious" and said the justice minister has already given a satisfactory explanation of the affair. The two law firms Kendell and' Crosbie, and Chalker, Green and Rowe resigned their status as legal agents in Newfoundland because of the controversy in Ottawa.

But the Toronto Globe and Mail has since reported that the two Crosbie boys have also done legal work for the federal Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. Michael Crosbie has handled four cases for the crown corporation in St. John's and earned $180 up to June 6. Chesley has handled three cases for a total billing of $425. Meantime, in the Commons Friday, the Liberal opposition named the two Crosbie sons winners of the patronage award of the week, or PAW.

John McMillan, brother of Tourism Minister Tom McMillan and only two weeks out of law school, was also nominated for his recent appointment as a federal legal agent in Prince Edward Is- -land. Faith Good, mother of Jim Good, chief of staff for Crosbie, who was made vice-chairman of the board of St. John's Port was also nominated, as was Jim Wood, a former Mountie, now working on the Canadian Pension Commission. Setting it Straight Keegstra says he doesn't hate Jews The Bank of Montreal says it is still pursuing a $645,356 claim against former B.C. Hydro chairman Robert Bonner.

In a story published June 1, The Sun reported the claim had settled out of court. But bank spokesman Don Peacock says the claim is still before the courts, although an action by the bank to petition Bonner into bankruptcy was withdrawn May 31.

(CP) Jim Keegstra says he does not hate Jews, but felt obligated to reveal what he believes is a Jewish-led conspiracy to control the world. Keegstra, finishing his ninth day in the witness box Friday, was asked by defence lawyer Doug Christie if he hated Jews. "No," he replied. "We are not supposed to hate anyone." But he said people are supposed to hate and expose the evil deeds and ideas of those who are trying to enslave them. That's why he taught about the conspiracy in his social studies classes at Eckville High School, he said.

Keegstra was fired from the school, 60 kilometres west of here, in Decem ber, 1982, after complaints from parents. Some 13 months later, he was charged with wilfully promoting hatred against Jews, an offence which carries a maximum two-year sentence. Last week, Keegstra testified his students acquired no hatred from his teachings, which he said were intended to make them aware of the real cause of problems in the world. Throughout his testimony, Keegstra has referred to himself in the plural "we." Although he corrected himself a few times, he often lapsed into it when testifying about his opinions. When Christie asked him about it Friday, Keegstra said he believed that as a Christian teaching the truth, God was with him in the classroom.

Keegstra has testified he told students about a conspiracy by a relatively small number of wealthy, influential Jews who used revolution, wars and economic problems to gain control of the world. The conspiracy, based on tenets of the Jewish religion, surfaced in the late 1700s with a secret society known as the Illuminati and created socialism and communism to further its aims, he said. Christie entered more books into evidence Friday which Keegstra said' influenced his viewpoints. One volume, entitled Red Fog Over America, suggested the conspiracy promoted the spread of communism in Canada and that the CBC is an ac tive promoter of the conspirators' one-world-government concept. The books contained the attribution for some statements contained in the notebooks of Keegstra's former students.

For example, Red Fog claims Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by international financiers for challenging their attempts to control the U.S. monetary system. Keegstra said Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was a Talmudic Jew. The CBC was criticized as "one of the worst offenders" when it comes to distorting the news, promoting one world government while keeping the conspiracy itself out of the public eye. obi port spy loo?

Although a preliminary hearing to determine whether Whitworth will stand trial is set for June 18, Farmer has said he instead will seek a grand jury hearing that would be closed to the public. During the hearing Friday, Smits said Whitworth's fingerprints were found on seven pages of documents seized from Walker's Virginia residence. One page had fingerprints from Whitworth, Walker and Walker's Michael Walker, a navy seaman also charged in the case, the agent said. Investigators also found at Whitworth's a report marked "confidential" that detailed the navy's contingency plans for war in the Middle East, which Smits called of "significant value to the out bail because he is a threat to national security.

Whitworth surrendered to federal officials Monday and has been charged with providing military secrets to the Soviet Union for the last 13 of his 22 years in the navy, beginning in 1970. Federal officials say Whitworth supplied sensitive navy communications to John Walker, another retired navy communications specialist arrested May 20 in Maryland and accused of being the leader of a spy operation. Whitworth and Walker have known each other and corresponded since both were instructors at a navy school in San Diego from 1970 to 1973, defence lawyer Louis Hiken said. Assistant U.S. Attorney William Farmer said if Whitworth is indicted, he crets to an alleged WHITWORTH family spy ring, the FBI says.

Timothy Brooks, 33, left his Salmon Arm home for a short trip to Calgary in mid-April, a friend of his mother said Friday.

On May 18, police in St. Cuthbert, called Anna Brooks at her Salmon Arm home to tell her Timothy's body had been found along with that of a young woman floating in the Chico River about 60 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

Anna Brooks is still in California and could not be reached for comment. St.

GVRD officials have said the discharge is necessary because a large underground sewage main must be removed to make way for an Annacts Island bridge ramp, In February, the regional district released raw sewage Into English Bay, Bur-rard Inlet and the Fraser River because engineers said three sewer lines had to be inspected.

The project engineer said there was a "fair amount of misinformation" about the dumping. Heath said people seemed to believe the beaches were going to be closed the entire summer, when they would only be closed a few days. He emphasized that the regional district would also be monitoring the discharge carefully and taking water samples.

Federal regulations require the regional district to have water samples tested and to keep fish in cages beside the outfalls. Meanwhile, the Society Promoting Environmental Conservation has released a Eraser about the GVRD's last big sewage dump in February. Frascr, in a letter dated May 31, assured the society that his ministry "does not endorse the practice of discharging raw sewage into fish-frequented water." "Clearly, raw sewage is toxic to fish and has been shown to degrade water and sediment quality In receiving waters," the Vancouver South MP wrote. Fraser said the federal government approved the regional district's request on the condition it "minimize the duration of the discharge."
