By Jeff Carrutbers Parliamentary Bureau The federal government should not allow construction of a proposed northern gas line to begin for at least four years to allow more study of the potential social and economic impact on that part of the nortlj, the preliminary report of the Lysyk Inquiry concludes. Government sources also say that the Lysyk report, which was being made public late this afternoon, also generally criticizes the recent National Energy Board's conditional approval of a modified Alaska Highway gas pipeline. The inquiry, headed by Kenneth Lysyk of the University of British Columbia, has concluded after only three month's of hearings that there is insufficient information available to select a specific route across the southern Yukon, particularly one that deviates from the Alaska Highway corrider. Postponing construction would allow further studies and could lead to the selection of another route modification to give Canada the option to develop its own reserves in the Mackenzie Delta.

The report was being released in time for the Parliamentary debate later this week on the gas pipeline issue. The Canadian government has promised the United States that it will try to make at least a decision in principle on a cross-Canada gas pipeline from Alaska in time to meet President Carter's decision deadline of Sept. 1. Preventing construction of the Alaska Highway project for four years would probably add another two years in delays. The Lysyk Report Is the last major non-Parliamentary input before the Canadian government makes its decision.

Loux's death brings to 10 the number of killings in Ottawa this year the same as the number of murders contained in the Ottawa police report for 1976. In 1975 there were six murders. Ottawa police commissioner Dan Chilcott said capital punishment not gun controls is the answer to the. dramatic rise in the city's murder rate. "You could always do it with a hatchet," Chilcott said.

Some police officers questioned agreed with him. "Crooks will always get guns, although gun controls might stop crimes of passion," said one city police officer. "It's only my opinion, but. this is happening because of the lack of capital punishment. "And as far as I know, it (Ottawa murders) seems to be going up every year we'll probably have two more before the year is out." Of the 10 murders this year, five were committed firearms, and three were stabbings.
