"Second clasa mril registration number 129" The VANCOUVER SUN: Thur. May 13, 1971 Britain advances Four stock charge GHESS William Henry Lemmon, 42, Fish officials leery of plan for north hydro development Four men have been charged in Vancouver and Ontario with conspiracy to sell stolen stocks and bonds. Two men have been arrested here while two others were picked up Wednesday in Guelph, Ont The two from Ontario are expected to be flown to Vancouver Friday to face two charges. of 2055 Pendrell, and Irwin Edward Schubert, 37, of 655 Minora, Richmond, appeared briefly in Vancouver provincial court today, charged with two counts of conspiracy. Charged jointly with them are Michael Zaduk, 42, of Guelph, and Frank Costello, 55, of who police said also has lived at 2566 West Fourth in Vancouver.

Continued from page 1 this and that we can now go forward," he said. "Both the Six and Britain are happy about this achievement At the all-night meeting the negotiators also agreed on favored treatment for the big sugar producers of the Commonwealth, mainly Guyana and Mauritius; an elaborate calendar for the gradual increase of British farm prices to the much higher levels in the Common Market, and another calendar for reduction of British tariff protection against fruits and vegetables from the Continent. As a sweetener, the British got a promise that the last continental tariff walls against British industrial goods, would come down six months sooner than planned July 1, 1977. There remains concern in official Canadian quarters that enlargement of the Common Market through extension of the association principle to the Caribbean and other regions will hurt Canadian exports. These countries which accept association must give the Common Market tariff and trade preferences.

Both Canada and the U.S.' Ladies you owe it to yourselves to visit The Chapman Clearance Centre, where prices are really drastically reduced. Act now, while the selection is at its best have protested against these so-called "reverse preference es." Actual amounts of Britain's financial contributions to the Common Market budget are to be discussed at the June session. The proposed formula calls for an annual British payment, beginning in 1973, based on British collections of port duties and on Britain's gross national product in comparison with those of the other Common Market countries. For- the first years Britain would; get a rebate that would grow; smaller each year until it would be paying its full share. Dutch experts estimated the British would pay about seven per cent of the budget or $280 million in 1973, and about 26 per cent in 1979.

They declined to predict the size of the budget that far off. Britain's Rippon said the Common Market members had come a long way to meet British requirements, much farther than he had hoped for. "The dialogue of the deaf Is over," he said. One explanation heard here on why France softened its position on Britain's application was its anger over West Germany's decision to ignore French protests and unpeg the mark. Paris officials apparently felt the monetary move tended to isolate France in the European community.

The progress made in the negotiations indicated that the chief obstacle now to British membership in the Common Market is opposition from the British public. mRUPERT Continued from page 1 poor country, specially for chess. "Spain, yes; Belgrade, yes. But Canada, no, no," he said. Kotov also said he would advise world champion Boris Spassky not to play in Vancouver this summer.

(Spassky is scheduled to play in the Ca-. nadian Open here in August and September.) The meeting with McGregor also include dMax Euwe, former world champion and now president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE); Bozidar Kazic, FIDE official from Yugoslavia, and match referee; and CCF representatives Elod Macskasy and George Bryant, both of Vancouver. Fischer and Ed Edmondson, executive-director of the U.S. Chess Federation, were not present. Fischer left UBC early for his hotel, taking Ed-mondson with him.

Edmondson and Fischer, however, later took pari: in negotiations which lasted late into the night. It now appears certain that the playing site will be shifted to another spot on the UBC campus. The disputants will spend today looking at several possibilities. One of them is the penthouse of Angus building. There are problems to be solved, however, regarding adequate lighting and removal of furniture.

There is also the question of finding a suitable room for spectators to watch demonstration boards or closed circuit TV. The Russians' reaction to the original playing room seems to stem in part from their unhappiness with Fischer's demand for a room with no spectators. FIDE had granted this demand before the two players arrived in Vancouver, despite the Russians' protests.

He said the provision of power in the area coupled with the mineral deposits known to exist there provide the basis for smelting and "further extractive processes" in the northwestern part of the-province. He said there is no way of knowing whether industries in the area would use up all the power that could be generated there or whether some would be available for the provincial power grid. Williston said the government's land use committee will consider proposals for power development in the area when they are made but stated that so far he has no indication there was fish spawning on the Iskut "up that high." Noting that the PGE will be completed to Dease Lake by 1974, WiUiston said bulk tonnage would be available for the railway immediately and one of the products which could use the rail line would be asbestos produced at Cass-iar. He was reminded the Brinco received concessions from the provincial government at its Churchill Falls operation. "Well there will be no concessions in British Columbia," he said.

Other matches scheduled to start today are between Denmark's Bent Larsen and East a y's Wolfgang Uhl-mann; West Germany's Robert Huebner and Russia's Tig-ran Petrosian, and Russians Viktor Korchnoi and Yefim Geller.

Ltd. (Brinco) that it will send crews into the area this sum- mer to probe the possibilities of hydro development. Brinco has bought majority interest in a B.C. company that has already done studies and appears to be attracted by the idea of providing power for an area rich iu min-l, erals and At this stage the company calls the development "iffy" and the plans preliminary. I And on that basis they can't answer the major question posed by the fisheries people just where on the river will the dam be and how big it will be.

If it 'is aftove spawning grounds, the scheme may get through without a fight. But if it is below, the fight would be on. I For, as the provincial spokesman put it: "If the dam is low on the Iskut, salm- on would be cut out, peri-I od." MacKinnon and Houghton also stressed the importance of location. MacKinnon said all five spe-; cies of salmon spawn on the Iskut, including "important I atocks of coho." He said his department will investigate the proposed site as soon as it is known and, if necessary, lodge an objection to a water licence being granted. Houghton also said the de- partment would investigate and ensure proper protection for the fishery.

The federal officials pointed out the Iskut runs into the Stikine which reaches the sea through the Alaskan Panhandle. Hence the fishery is largely American. However, they said Canada has an obligation to protect such rivers for all fishermen. Confirmation of Brinco's interest in Iskut power came here today from David Wil-lock, director of public relations for the company. Willock said the figure of 400,000 horsepower is "preliminary thinking" based largely on the size of a similar project the company is in- volved with at Twin Falls, Lab, 1 The company's first move into B.C.

has been to buy ma- jority interest in Iskut Pulpower still partially owned by' Glen Crippen, a North Vancouver consulting engineer. Pulpower includes Mannix Construction and has done long-term studies of power development on the Iskut and Stikine Rivers. Willock declined to say how much Brinco had paid for control of Pulpower. Neither could he give more details about Brinco's ambi-' tions for the Iskut development beyond what was stated by company president D. Mullholland in the company's 1970 annual report This said: "Recently your company concluded an agreement which will enable us to acquire a majority interest in a company formed to undertake an investigation of the hydro-electric potential in the Iskut-Stikine area of B.C.

"Accordingly, as an initial step, a field program is being planned for this summer as part of a study of the feasibility of an industrially related power development "This would be ah important step in opening up a remote region to development of its extensive natural resources." The phrase "industrially related" presumably refers to major mining companies who have also investigated the mineral wealth of the area. Some have spent millions proving up rich deposits of copper and molybdenum but development has been delayed by lack of power and transportation. In Victoria, WiUiston said the government is not taking part in the study for potential power development on the Iskut. But he said any results must be made available to the B.C. Energy Board which now is studying the over-all power demands of the province for the next 15 years.

He said no government permit Is necessary for the power potential survey apart from his permission to go on the land. A member of Wllliston's de. partment said the minister Bandit makes third strike A knife-wielding bandit and his female accomplice struck Wednesday for the third time in six days. The pair robbed clerk Kathy Klngma of $80 at the Danish Bakery, 2705 West Fourth, about 5:30 p.m. Police said the man entered the store, made a purchase and left.

Ten minutes later, he and the woman returned at which time he pulled out i knife and stole the money. On Monday, the pair stole $237 from Nightingale Phar- your choice.

Williston said he understands Brinco is interested in supplying power in the area "because there are many mining properties showing potential." A mines department official said that the Galore Creek and Scud River areas feature a large copper deposit considered to be 100 million tons of close to one per cent copper.

He said Stikine Copper Ltd. has been most active in exploring the area and that once the Stewart-Cassiar road is completed there is a 28-mile gap in the Iskut area still unfinished it is expected that a road will be built from the Stewart-Cassiar down to mining properties in this area. However, the mines official said access to the mining properties is a problem and that Japanese interests have indicated they are considering going into a venture which would involve building a smelter in the Stikine-Inskut area to process local ore. Williston said his government is prepared to allow private enterprise to produce power there for its own industrial purposes. "Right now we (B.C.

Hydro) are up to our ears on the Columbia and Peace, and we cannot at the moment undertake to supply power for development of a specific product," he said. However, he added that the government, if it is deemed in the public interest that Hydro take, over power distribution from private enterprise to make it available as a public utility, has the authority to take over at any time. Willock said such a take-, over "does not worry us at all. He added: "That's routine in- agreements of this In this day and age it is prudent for any resource department to have such an understanding. Williston said resources in the Iskut-Stikine area cannot be developed without power, so private industry is free to study power development potential on its own.

"Somebody has to do it if they are going to get their development up there," the minister said. The official in Williston's department said the water resources branch has made surveys in the area itself and considers the best power site to be on the Iskut just below the confluence of Forrest Kerr Creek. He said the potential of power development there is not of the same size as the Peace River project, for example, but could be described as "medium-size potential." Williston said that Alaska officials in the past have shown an interest in any power which could be developed just over the border of the Panhandle in B.C. However, he said no detailed discussions have been held with the Alaskans on power development there because it is not known at this stage how much power could be generated for use elsewhere. He indicated the communities most likely to benefit from any export of power would be Wrangell and Petersburg.

Williston said the extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway from Fort St. James to Dease Lake, announced by Premier A. C. Bennett two years ago, has made what was before a potential for mining development in the area "one of active consideration." As originally announced by Bennett, the extension of the PGE was to head out to tidewater at Stewart but the premier announced later it would be extended instead north toward the Alaska border. There was no explanation for the change of route.

Mines department officials said the PGE expansion and the slow, but sure, work on the Stewart-Cassiar road have resulted in a significant increase in mining exploration in the northwestern sector of the province, Open SALE PRICE 00 or Closed Backs Special Buy of 300 pair of Men's MONK STRAPS The Newest in Men's Fashions, CHESTERFIELD SUITES KROEHLER Traditional high-back 3-seater sofa and chair in gold nylon tweed cover Hardwood frames, coil construction. lit price $455.95 SALE PRICE aW KROEHLER Loveseat in Spanish style, upholstered in beantiful red $A) i.75 and gold cut-velvet.
