The "Green which encloses an area with its narrow neck in Nicosia and extending roughly 12 miles northwest, widening to about 10 miles at lis widest point, contains the Turkish enclave. The Turks must not stray beyond the lino and the Greek Cypriols must not enter.

The line arose out of the ceasefire obtained by the British wiicn a truce force was established, leading to UN action. A force, including Canadians was given a mandate to prevent a recur reneo of fighting, by force if necessary. Incidents continued to erupt from time to time after 1964, hitting a peak in 1967 when on one occasion Turkey intervened by sending its fighter jets to roar low over the island, rattling the very rooftops of Nicosia. That cooled the situation and brought homo the realization that the Turkish air force, only 40 miles away on the mainland, is a do facto force in preventing a recurrence of fighting. The episode shook all factions and helped lead to the start of the IiHercommunal talks.

It also resulted in Gen. Grivas and 9,000 Greek National Guards being sent back to Greece. (Grivas now If known to be back In Cyprus, working underground). Another result was freedom of movement for tho Turkish Cypriots, while the Greek Cypriots arc still not allowed in tho Turkish enclave. Since then, the military situation has been relatively quiet, br there have been other incidents, including an attempt on the life Makarios and the brutal murder of a former minister of the interirr.

Polycarpos Yorgadjis. Makarios has become stronger in his insistence on Enosis making speeches which fanned the local fires. His backers say those speeches are pure propaganda for local consumption, but his oppon cnts are unconvinced. This has brought his relationship with Alliens to a low point, and to make it worse he brought in a $2.5 million shipment of Czech arms through negotiations with Russia. The arms now are under the custody of the Canadian contingent in Cyprus, and while they think they have them all, the Cypriots are not so sure and Uiey suspect there might have been other shipments.

(CP) Shotgun toting police and prison guards set up road blocks today along the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway near Napanee, 25 miles west of here, and fears were expressed that at least three of nine escaped convicts may have slipped through a huge police dragnet. A prison guard warned that "it's very dangerous to pick up hitch-hikers anywhere in the Kingston area" as he and police were stopping motorists and asking them to open their car trunks. Police indicated that at least three of the original 14 who escaped Monday night may be in the area and police believe one may have been hitch-hiking along the freeway.

Earlier, an escaped prisoner from Collings Bay penitentiary was captured when he walked into the intense search area 15 miles west of here where police were looking for the nine prisoners who escaped from the maximum security Millhaven prison i i t- if 7 tjfi vOs--. f- I vi it A' 1 I if 4 I 4'! -it Drum guns $4 billion gas sale revealed TORONTO (CP) Imperial Oil Ltd. has signed a 22-year contract worth about $4 billion for sale of Arctic natural gas to two United Slates companies. Doug Lougheed, vice-president and general manager, producing, confirmed Wednesday that a gas-purchase contract had been signed with Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line, Detroit, and Natural Gas Pipeline, Chicago. The deal is subject to approval of regulatory authorities in Ottawa and Washington and a pipeline must be built from Imperial's natural gas reserves in the Mackenzie River delta.

The contracts are for sale of five trillion cubic feet of natural gas to each company. The minimum price would be 32 cents per thousand cubic feet for the first two years. After the first two years of the contracts the minimum would jump to 34 cents for the next five years, to 39 cents for the next five years, to 44 cents for the next five years and to 49 cents for the last five years-Rumors that the contract had been signed began circulating in Toronto brokerage houses last Friday and the rumors pushed the price of Imperial shares up by $1.75 in an hour. The sales contracts were signed last month at the same lime that the two U.S. companies signed development con- tracts which give Imperial $240 million in interest-free loans to develop the natural gas field.

The other was a man of about 20 found hooded, bound and shot in the Catholic Springfield Road district. Another civilian was hit in the ankle and a soldier was seriously wounded in other shooting incidents in the capital. The soldier was hit by sniper fire from the Catholic Ander-sonstown district of the capital. At least 16 persons have been killed since a shaky ceasefire ended Sunday night, bringing the recorded death toll to 420 in three years.

Tho army said there had been 210 shooting incidents between 8 a.m. Tuesday and 4:30 a.m. today. Monday night. Police said John Singleton, 30, left a labor gang Tuesday morning, but was caught today when he was spotted walking along CNR tracks two miles north of Millhaven.

Singleton was serving three years for fraud and parole revocation. Meanwhile, a small army of police and prison officials, armed with shotguns, ered rifles and using airplanes and tracking dogs, were scour, ing dense bush within a 10-mile radius of the maximum-security prison for the remaining nine of the 14 prisoners who cut through a chain-link fence to freedom after a baseball game. Five already have been captured, all within seven miles of the prison as 120 provincial po- lice and 80 prison guards spread their search in Canada's largest prison break with a field-by-field and tree-by-tree hunt in the area. Police investigated at least five reports of men seen running in the area, using five tracking dogs in the hunt for the convicts, some of whom were described as "extremely dangerous." Five of the escapers, includ- ing one of three convicted killers, were in solitary confinement cells at the prison Tuesday night, less than 24 hours after they made their bid for freedom following a softball game in the prison compound. It was the biggest mass escape in Canadian history.

Residents of this eastern On- tario city and those in nearby rural towns made sure their doors were locked. None of the convicts recaptured had gone farther than seven miles from the institution. Police had one of the escapers handed to them by two farmers near Bath, three miles west of the prison. Raymond and Bill Newbury captured Gaston Lambert, 22, of Ottawa after spotting him huddled in a ditch. Ronald Fillion, 25, of Toronto, was captured in the same area when he stood up in tall grass and gave himself up to advancing police.

Edward Woods, 26, of Burlington, serving a life term for non-capital murder, covered the most ground of those captured, but the truck he was driving was forced off the road near Odessa, Ont. Robert Clark, 38, of Tillson-burg, serving a life sentence for breaking prison by force, breaking and entering and possession of weapons, was trapped In a cement plant under construction about seven miles west of Millhaven. Tracking dogs forced him to bolt cover and he gave up after a warning shot was fired. Captured in the same vicinity following a tip by a citizen who spotted him in deep grass was John Taylor, 31, of Hamilton, serving seven years for breaking prison by force, breaking and entering and possession of burglary tools. Other escapers: Thomas Mc-Cauley, 35, and Charles Boomer, 3.1, Edmonton; Srcto Dezemba, 25, William Yardley, 24, and Gerald LaRocque, 32, all of Toronto; Rudolph Nuss, 25, St.

ESCAPEE CAPTURED: Edward Woods, 26, of Burlington, Ont. returns, to Millhavcn maximum security prison "in Kingston following an escape by 14 prisoners Monday night. Woods, who is serving a life term was the first prisoner recaptured. He was caught when he tried to run a road block at Odessa, Ont.

(CP Wirephoto) behind McGovern Party falling in marcnes mrougnoui mmncrn Ireland today amid lively fears of communal conflict. The marches set off in an atmosphere charged by three more killings during the night. One of the victims was a Protestant youth shot down on a street in Portadown, 25 miles outside Belfast, and there was apprehension of a revenge blow by the Protestant para-military Ulster Defence Association (UDA). As the marchers streamed through the heart of Belfast under a steady rain, most of the city's Roman Catholic minority remained in their own district. Some 17,000 British soldiers backed by 8,000 police and militia men stood guard in case of an assault on the marchers by the Roman Catholic-based Irish Republican Army.

In the present high state of tension authorities believed such an assault could blow up into full-scale communal conflict. At several points in Belfast, groups of blue-jacketed club-carrying young men could be seen on the fringes of the procession. They described themselves as UDA commandos. In Portadown, cheers greeted masked UDA commandos, wearing combat jackets and armed with wooden clubs, when they joined the Orange Day march. The rain doused some of the excitement customary on the Orange Day parades which are held to celebrate a triumph of Protestant arms in lfii)0 when Roman Catholic King James II was beaten by William of Orange at the Battle of Boyne.

As the marchers trudged through town, plastic raincoats obscured the dark coats and orange flashes which are a uniform of the Orange order. Rain dripped off bowler hats another uniform requirement and sodden banners hung heavy on their poles. But the bandsmen pounded out Protestant tunes with gusto all along the five-mile march to a rallying point at Endcnderry just outside Belfast. The traditional rallying point at Finaghy Field was not used this year, because police considered it was too visible to snipers from Roman Catholic districts. Portadown was considered one of the most dangerous spots because the Protestants there had arranged to march through a staunch Catholic area.

In Belfast, the city centre was closed to cars to prevent tho IRA depositing car bombs along the route.

A roar went up and red-white-and-blue placards waved from the pro-Wallace delegates as Wallace was carried in a wheelchair to the podium. Other delegates stood in respect to the governor, partially paralysed when shot down while campaigning in Laurel, May 15. The strictest security of the convention was in force. But Wallace's appeals were doomed to failure as tho convention worked to approve a platform, tailored largely to the liberal views of McGovern.

More surprising was the delegates' decision to avoid a swing to the left which would have further alienated the party's moderates, already wary of McGovern's liberal The convention voted down emotional pleas for a radical change in the tax structure and for a $6,500 guaranteed annual income for a family of four, preferring the compromise proposals worked out earlier by the platform committee and since supported by McGovern and most of his opponents for the presidential nomination. Wallace trailed with 378. The uncommitted total stood at 850. Weary delegates had barely 12 hours off before tonight's session at which McGovern was scheduled to be first candidate placed into nomination and, when balloting takes place, the party's nominee. In its marathon meeting on the platform, tho convention approved a plank that mirrors McGovern's views in calling for total withdrawal from Indochina and supporting busing.

But it refused to include the controversial issue of abortion in the platform. By voice vote, the convention shouted down eight proposals, ranging from endorsement of capital punishment and public-school prayers to a constitutional amendment barring busing, despite a plea by Wallace. McGovern's forces roamed the floor, urging approval of the statement of party positions drafted by the platform committee and rejection of opposition proposals on Vietnam, school busing and abortion. Wallace provided a dramatic highlight with an appeal for far-ranging tax reform and a denunciation of "the senseless black representative Shirley Chisholm of New York; Alabama Gov. George Wallace; Representative Wilbur Mills of Arkansas; former North Carolina Gov.

Terry Sanford and former senator Eugene McCarthy. Aides of Jackson said they had made considerable gains among delegates previously committed to Humphrey and Muskie. Some labor leaders who had supported Humphrey, including President I. W. Abel of the United Steclworkers Union, threw their support to Jackson.

With much of the Humphrey and Muskie strength now listed in the undecided column, The Associated Press count gave McGovern 1,590 votes as nomination day dawned.

Features Corp.) By PETER BUCKLEY MIAMI BEACH (CP) Sena-'lor George McGovern goes through the formality of claiming the Democratic presidential nomination tonight, assured of tho votes to win it on, the first ballot and backed by a platform he could call his own. Seven names are due to be put into nomination for president at the national convention, but McGovern has an overwhelming majority of delegates to surpass the 1,509 votes needed to win a bid for the White House against President Nixon in the November election.

The convention itself slogged through its second straight marathon session into the early-morning hours today debating the platform the Democrats will take to tho people in November. When it recessed at 6:22 a.m. until 7 p.m. today it had been in session a record 11 hours, four minutes. The opening session Monday that lasted about nine hours broke tho previous record, convention officials said'.

They were unable to identify tho earlier record-setting session. Tho session came as an anticlimax to earlier developments Tuesday the dramatic withdrawals from the presidential race by Senators Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie. But the platform debate proved useful in demonstrating that the 49-year-old McGovern could carry his delegate forces with him in what must become an effort to restore unity to a divided party. McGovern, son of a South Dakota Methodist minister, also pondered a list of possible running mates. Aides said he still plans to ask a reluctant Senator Edward Kennedy to join the ticket.

A close friend of Kennedy, Senator John V. Tunney of California, told reporters after talking with him by phone that he thinks it highly unlikely Kennedy would accept. He added he expects Kennedy to fly here from Hyannisport, Thursday to appear at the convention with the nominee. McGovern's aides said that others under consideration include United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock. Senators Thomas F.

Eagleton of Missouri and Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut and Florida Gov. Reubin Askew. In the presidential balloting tonight the candidates in addition to McGovern are Senator Henry Jackson of Washington, who advocates a strong defence posture and restrictions on school busing to achieve racial balance in the class-rooms; Sheet metal union optimistic Financial News Provincial News Sxrts Stage and Screen Tube Talk TV Programs Weather Page 38 Page 2 Page 25 Page 7 Page 7 Page 7 Page 4 Bridge Page 42 City News Page 3 Classified Ads Page 40 Comics, Horoscope Page 22 Crosswords Page 40 Editorial Page 37 Family Living Page 13 The union has requested a meeting with the negotiating committee from the Saskatchewan Construction Association Labor Relations Council, the employers' group, he said. Jim Chase, secretary-treasurer of the council, did not share Mr. Dorn's optimism about the vote.

Ho said the rejected wage offer would have put Regina sheet metal workers above their counterparts in Winnipeg, something none of the other trades have been offered. The Winnipeg journeyman rate is now $5.50 an hour on a contract that will be renegotiated next spring, compared to the current Regina rate of $5.17. Mr. Chase said the contractors had offered a total that would put Regina workers $1.10 above Winnipeg's current rate in an effort to reach an agreement. Now that that has been rejected, he said, a lower figure would be offered.

Chase said the apprenticeship clause, the other major concern of the union, is not designed to decrease wages for the purpose of gain by the employers. He said a number of uncertified workers in the trade would be given the duration of the contract, approximately two' years, plus a possible extension, to pass provincial examinations to earn a certificate for a certain level in the trade, or face a loss in wages. The purpose is to certify them, not cut their wages, said Mr. Cliase. The contractors' association has not yet decided if and when it will meet with the sheet metal negotiators.

Meanwhile, Don Ching, deputy minister of labor, continues to meet with the contractors and the other trades involved in the six-week southern Saskatchewan strike. Mr. Ching said gradual progress Is being made in the general talks with both sides, and added he is hopeful they will return to the bargaining table. However, Mr. Chase said his side would continue meeting with Mr.

Ching "with a view to reaching a settlement," indicating that a return to bargaining with provincial mediator Gib Earner of Saskatoon may not be necessary. Rcgina sheet metal workers Tuesday night voted 98 per cent in favor of accepting all but four clauses of the last contract offer from the Saskatchewan Construction Association, and those clauses they rejected by the same percentage. The four rejected clauses involved wages, the apprenticeship program, travel pay and the health and welfare package, said Archie Dorn, business manager for lyocal 296 of the Sheet Metal Workers' International Association. Mr. Dorn called the vote a "major saying the union is very close now to the contractors on the wage issue.
