3 f1 1 ITSG i y- uxji Ontario 15 Cents 36 Pages Windsor Monday July 10 1972 Quebec manifesto truce ets no tK lilt4! iV By ARTHUR BLAKELY SNS OTTAWA Within the higher echelons of the New Democratic Party, at least, NDP Leader David Lewis had almost unanimous support for his decision to repudiate the separatist-leaning manifesto published by the party's Quebec wing. The only section of the NDP to which Quebec NDP President Raymond Laliberte and his backers may look hopefully for aid and comfort is the strongly socialist Waffle. At the 1971 party convention, the Quebec wing and the Waffle often made common cause. Only the Waffle delegates were at all receptive to the ideas which the Quebec NDP was putting forward even then for a much looser and weaker federation than is contemplated by the present constitution. But the Waffle isn't as potent a force in the party as it was at the last convention.

Its wings were clipped in Ontario by Stephen Lewis, the provincial leader, only a few days before his father, David Lewis, read the riot act to the Quebec wing. It is in Ontario that much of the Waffle's strength has been concentrated. It is at least possible that James Laxer, Mel Watkins and the Waffle in general will be so preoccupied with their own squabble with the party that they'll have little time to consider the problems of the Quebec wing. The manifesto published by the Quebec New Democrats is so extreme, furthermore, that even the most sympathetic Wafflers will think twice before attempting to justify and defend it in the other provinces. After he won the NDP leadership convention, Lewis told me in an interview that he was if one condition could be met hopeful of making great strides in the reorganization of the party in Quebec.

He felt that the fact that he was the first national leader of the CCF-NDP to be fluent in French would be extremely useful, as would his Montreal background, and his contacts with Quebec labor. He wasn't talking grandly in terms of a sweep in Quebec in the next election. His more modest and realistic objectives were to increase the party's Quebec membership from fewer than 500 persons to a substantial enough figure to give the New Democrats a reasonable BELFAST (Reuter) A precarious two-week peace in Northern Ireland lay shattered today with seven persons dead after a night of shooting and bombing that sparked fears of civil war. A Roman Catholic priest and a 13-year-old girl were among the victims following an announcement in Dublin by the Provisional wing of the outlawed Irish Republican Army that it was ending its truce and resuming hostilities against British forces "with utmost ferocity." The British Army said it killed one gunman and hit eight others. Each side blamed the other for the renewed violence, which grew out of attempts by about 2,000 Roman Catholics to move 16 families into the predominantly Protestant Lenadoon housing project in western Belfast Sunday.

A fierce gun battle developed as British troops moved to block off the Catholics and fired tear gas and rubber bullets at the crowd. Shortly afterward came the announcement from Dublin that the ceasefire effected 13 days ago was over. The announcement said: "The truce between the Irish Republican Army and the British occupation forces was broken without warning by the British forces at approximately 5 p.m. today at Lenadoon estate in Belfast. Within minutes, an army post in Belfast Springfield Road came under heavy attack from machine-guns and rifles.

The army denied it had broken the truce in any way and said troops had started shooting only after they were fired on by snipers. A statement from William Whitelaw, the British government's administrator for Northern Ireland, said the shooting at the housing project "was clearly set up by the IRA to try to provide justification for a resumption of terror activity." Most British newspapers today expressed agreement with his contention. Whitelaw, who is credited with bringing about the ceasefire after weeks of talks with Catholic leaders, was flying to Northern Ireland today and was expected to press for immediate discussions in a bid to avert further trouble. Another 10 civilians were reported injured in the new violence and the army said five See ULSTER Page 2 4 3c Photo by Jerry Morrow handicraft were featured and Lena Gray, 16, was chosen as Miss Sarnia Pow-Wow.

(CP) People in southerneastern Canada get a chance today to see their second eclipse of the sun in a little more than two years, a rare phenomenon.

Windsor and area residents will have a chance to view a partial eclipse of the sun despite a partly cloudy forecast for the area. The eclipse will appear to start over the Lake St. Clair region at 3:16 p.m. DST. The peak of the eclipse will come at 4:29 p.m.

This coastal hamlet in eastern Nova Scotia, 85 miles northeast of Halifax, saw a total eclipse March 7, 1970, when the moon's shadow moved up the east coast of North America from Mexico and passed into the Atlantic across Newfoundland. Today's eclipse will start on the Arctic coast of Alaska and travel southwest across Canada at about an hour.

It will traverse Hudson Bay, central Quebec, Northeast New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and eastern Nova Scotia, passing into the Atlantic over Sable Island. The paths of both eclipses cross near East Quoddy. Scientists of Canada's National troop cuts A little insanity helps TORONTO (CP) A little insanity may be a big help in dealing with family problems, a Toronto psychiatrist told the Parents Without Partners convention Saturday. Dr. Peter Moore told single parents, gathered here for the organization's annual meeting, he could speak about single-parent families because he was raised in one.

It was a happy, energetic, "if somewhat kooky, home," he recalled, and advised the single parents present not to be "too sane" in dealing with their own family problems. Dr. Moore said a child in such a home has a chance to feel needed and to develop a sense of worth through helping to operate the home. He said children in single-parent homes often are better off than parents in homes where both parents are present, but "locked in a destrcu-tive relationship." Dr. Moore warned single parents not to rush into new marriages or rely on married friends for companionship, and indicated he approved of sex for the single parent.

"I can only say it is a human need and if it is important to you, you will be a better parent and a better person if satisfied." and 1 want pink pawns and blue bishops! BRUSSELS (UPI) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies have decided to make a European security conference depend on the "parallel" holding of talks on East-West troops cuts, a high NATO source said Sunday. Some of NATO's 15 members are ready to go even further and call off the security conference unless there is progress toward troop cuts, the source said. The source said this was "not necessarily a legal pre-condition." But he made it clear that the key word in East-West diplomacy now is "parallelism" the satisfying of both sides by simultaneous progress on two different issues. The Soviets have pushed for years for a security conference. NATO foreign ministers finally agreed in May to open preparatory talks in Helsinki in the fall, leading toward a probable conference next year.

The West, by contrast, has been more anxious for the troop cuts, or mutual and balanced force reductions (MBFR), as they are known in official jargon here. The Soviets, after a brief burst of enthusiasm last year, have been reluctant to discuss the issues since then. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) The Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess match can begin Fischer's favorite chair has arrived. The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spassky's Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously.

Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in "I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me." After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. "Bobby is relaxed and ready.

We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill," said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday. Iceland? "It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs," said Gud-mundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjavik's furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: "Fly in my own chair." Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem to worry much about details of the $250,000 match.

Nixon was pleased with the agreement, among other reasons, because it will provide work not only for American farmers, but for those involved in shipping it, such as railroad and doc workers, exporters, seamen and shippers, the White House said. The agreement was announced as Nixon relaxed here at his Oceanside home. On Sunday he flew by helicopter with Mrs. Nixon to Los Angeles for a lJ2-hour visit with See CANADA Page 2 He will bring up the old Russian Second World War debt.

Plans lor the trip by Secretary Peter G. Peterson were disclosed this weekend by Henry Kissinger, Nixon's chief foreign policy adviser. The president wants "a comprehensive new approach to the issue of U.S.-Soviet economic relations," Kissinger told newsmen. He described the agreement to sell the Russians American grain as "a major step" toward that end, the deal is by far the largest such trade transaction ever between the United States and the Soviet Union. Peterson's negotiations will focus on settlement of the Second World War Lerd-Lease debt owned by Russia and credit arrangements, two of the major obstacles to broader trade between the two.

The United States claims the Russians owe about $800 million and the Soviet Union only acknowledges a $300 million debt. Under the grain deal the Soviet Union will be granted up to $500 million in credit through the By Star Wire Services WINNIPEG Chief commissioner G. N. Vogel of the Canadian wheat board said Sunday President Nixon's announcement of a $750-million sale to the Soviet Union of U.S.-grown grains over the next three years will be followed by a similar announcement from the wheat board. In an interview, Mr.

Vogel said the Soviet Union has been negotiating with the Canadian wheat board for "primarily feed grains" and an announcement could be expected within the next few days. He declined to release any further details of the announcement. Earlier this year, the Soviet Union signed a one-year agreement to purchase $3.5 million worth of grain from Canada beginning Aug. 1. President Nixon will send his secretary of commerce to Moscow this month to work on "a comprehensive new approach" to U.S.-Soviet trade, following up the unprecedented $750 million grain deal.
