A 1 2 un THURS-FEB-211985 Zuradel seiys he sought guidelines Jews were gassed in phoney showers and then cremated in huge ovens, Dachau was a pleasant compound with tree-lined streets, peaceful chapels and large, efficiently run kitchens, Zundel said. The only rash of deaths there occurred in January 1945, in the wake of a typhus epidemic, he added. Zundel's testimony contrasted sharply with earlier evidence that described how Jews were herded into huge communal shower rooms in the camp. The doors were immediately locked behind them and the shower sprinklers released poison gas instead of water. For example, he said, a number of authors and other researchers have disputed conditions of horror popularly associated with the Dachau camp in southern Germany.

Rather than being a slaughtering centre where 1 Week only: Feb. 21-27 The By CHISHOLM MacDONALD TORONTO (CP) Ernst Zundel testified Wednesday he wrote two years ago to Roy McMurtry, then Ontario attorney-general, asking for guidelines on what might constitute hate literature. McMurtry never acknowledged the letter, Zundel testified, but his ministry later charged the Toronto publisher with offences he might have avoided had he had been given the clarifying guidelines: Taking the stand in his own defence for the second day, Zundel said McMurtry had appointed a former opposition member of the Ontario legislature to investigate reports of questionable literature being published in the province. "I asked him (McMurtry) to supply me with guidelines on hate, so I could apply them to my writing. Otherwise he would be keeping us in ignorance of the law and (that could be) an entrapment." Zundel, 46, a West German citizen with landed immigrant status in Canada, has pleaded not guilty to knowingly publishing false information likely to cause social or racial intolerance.

Two of his publications dismiss the Second World War genocide of Jews as a hoax and a Zionist conspiracy to extract reparations from Germany. Zundel continued to argue that there were no lethal gas chambers in Nazi concentration camps during the war and no German policy to exterminate Jews. Slur forces cab sale TORONTO (CP) The Metro Toronto Licencing Commission has ordered a 59-year-old taxi driver to sell his licence because he used racially abusive language to passengers. The commission on Wednesday gave Douglas Oliver Todd 90 days to get out of the taxi business. He admitted at his hearing that he used the phrase "You are a bunch of niggers" to three passengers he picked up on New Year's Day at a downtown Toronto hotel.

One passenger, Hubert Crawford, night manager of the hotel, is black. Todd said he applies the expression "nigger" to persons of all ethnic backgrounds.

1 IfW Oakridge Centre 266-1467 CP phplo PIPELINE FIRE five men injured. Burned men still critical EDMONTON (CP) Five Edmonton men gravely burned in a flash fire at a ruptured natural gas pipeline remained in critical condition Wednesday at the University Hospital. The five suffered second and third-degree burns Tuesday night when a leaking liquefied natural gas was ignited into a fireball at the high-pressure line 100 kilometres southeast of Edmonton. Four of the victims Mervin Guthrie, 58, John Armstrong, 24, Kerry Kellsey, 29, and Richard Wack, 27 were employees of Interpro-vincial Pipe Line Ltd. The fifth man injured was Dennis Froese, 54, a heavy-equipment operator on contract from Kach Construction of Edmonton.

"They were all burned pretty bad," said Jerry Gagne, chief of the nearby Bawlf volunteer fire department, who helped rescue two of the victims. A pipeline employee moved three of them to about 400 metres away while the other two were about 100 metres away, he said. "We moved one of the fellows, but the other we couldn't move because he was so badly burned." Gagne and five other volunteer firefighters put out fires in three vehicles parked about 150 metres from the pipeline. The victims were taken to a Camrose hospital, then transferred to the burn unit at University Hospital. The men had been unloading equipment and preparing the site to repair the pipe when the fire occured.

The company suspects the gas blaze was sparked from a running vehicle at the site. How to test drive. We say you can learn to use the Macintosh overnight Why not put our bold statement to the test?

'xt ifrrf WOODSTOCK, Ont. (CP) Both an Ontario Provincial Police officer killed in a shootout last October and his partner apparently did not follow a plan of operation devised a few hours earlier, a senior police officer told a coroner's inquest Wednesday.

"It appears they were not doing what we felt they should be doing," Bernie Crane of the London district headquarters testified. Const. Jack Ross and Cpl. Ron Thompson were to stay in an unmarked cruiser at a house beside one where two murder suspects were hiding, Crane said. When a police tactical team had surrounded the suspects' house, Ross and Thompson were to try and enter the neighboring home to protect the people there.

The officers were to remain inside that house. The inquest has heard that a tactical team was not yet in place when, at about 10: 15 p.m. on Oct. 7, one of the suspects, Daniel Belanger, 19, of Montreal, and a woman, Lori Kovacs, 21, left the house in the south end of Woodstock and began walking to a nearby plaza. Ross and Thompson confronted them.

When Ross asked Belanger his name, the teenager drew a magnum handgun and fired at the officers. Earlier testimony revealed Ross, 56, was hit twice but the bullets were blocked by his protective vest. Thompson was hit in the hand. A member of the tactical squad, who ran to the scene and believed Thompson was in danger, fired a 9-mm machine gun at Belanger. But some of his shots hit Ross, killing the 22-year police veteran.

About the same time, Thompson killed Belanger with shots from his service revolver. John Takach, an assistant-deputy attorney general, had told the inquest Monday that a machine gun bullet fired by provincial police Const. David Smith killed Ross. Ross and Thompson had a radio in their cruiser but no portable radios when they went to the neighboring house to protect the residents, said Crane, second-in-command of the operation.
