products. The warning was part of an official submission given Wednesday to the treasury in Washington, which is considering a request by the U.S. Rubber Manufacturers Association that special duties be placed on Michelin tires. The Canadian government says the case could have a great effect on its programs of general assistance to industry and grants to businesses that locate in depressed areas. The U.S.

rubber manufacturers based their request on U.S. legislation that says countervailing duties must be imposed when foreign countries give manufacturers a "bounty" for exports. The rubber manufacturers say Canadian government assistance to Michelin amounts to an export bounty. The Canadian submission rejects that argument, adding that several U.S. tire manufacturers have received assistance from the U.S.

government. If special U.S. duties were imposed on products from foreign firms receiving similar assistance, the submission warns, political pressures could force other countries to impose similar duties on U.S. products. Other points in the submission include: Financial assistance received by Michelin is not based on the company's exports and thus cannot be called an export bounty.

Even though Michelin will receive millions of dollars in aid, the total aid might not be as much as extra costs incurred by Michelm in establishing its plants in Nova Scotia, rather than in a province with lower transport and other costs. Since Michelin tires are much more expensive already than U.S.-made tires, additional duties on them will bring no significant benefit to U.S. manufacturers. Michelin is not in price competition with them. The submission says Michelin agreed in late 1969 to build two plants in Nova Scotia a steel cord plant at Bridgewater and a tire factory in Granton to make radial steel belted truck tires, using steel cord from Granton.

The estimated costs of the plants were $10 million and $40 See CANADA Page 2 xTr Vtv akes pollution pact 4 mm -IlllllWIIlil SV model for west (uoasi wat ers George McGoveru woi'ks ou liis acceptance speech i Hew loo ICld ou the world, although Baltic Sea nations are currently negotiating along similar lines. Mr. Davis' proposal marks a major expansion of Canada's bargaining position on the potential hazards of oil tanker traffic moving from the planned trans-Alaskan pipeline down the B.C. coast to refineries at Cherry Point, Washington, The U.S. last month rejected the initial Canadian suggestion that the marine traffic hazards be investigated by the six-member International Joint Commission, whose reports led to a five-year clean-up agreement for the lower Great Lakes signed in April by President Nixon and Prime Minister Trudeau.

The special two-nation committee, meeting today in Washington with Mr. Train and Mr. Davis as respective national spokesmen, was a reluctant compromise on Canada's part after the U.S. rejection. While officials hammered out an agenda at the meeting Wednesday, Mr.

Davis expressed hope that the U.S. would be receptive to the "salt water Great Lakes" scheme. "It's an approach which is not unfamiliar to them," he said. The environment minister said the joint water quality See POLLUTION Page 2 By PETER CALAMAI SNS OTTAWA -Canada will formally propose to the United States today that the two nations jointly manage the West Coast's "inland sea" along the same environmental lines as the landmark agreement for Great Lakes pollution control. The major diplomatic initiative will be outlined in Washington by federal Environment Minister Jack Davis in a meeting called primarily to deal with the spectre of West Coast oil tanker catastrophes.

Mr. Davis will suggest to Russell Train, chairman of President Nixon's Council on Environmental Quality, that most of Puget Sound, and the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Georgia be designated as an international water quality management area. "It would be almost identical to the Great Lakes agreement, except that it would be for salt water," Mr. Davis said Wednesday in an interview with Southam News Services. While the Canadian proposition will emphasize the "inland sea" lying between Vancouver Island and the coastlines of British Columbia and the state of Washington, Mr.

Davis said the concept could also be applied on the east coast. Such bilateral agreements for environmental management in offshore waters would be without precedent anywhere in (See Also Page 29) By DUART FARQUHARSON MIAMI BEACH The new-look Democratic party made it official Wednesday night, handing its presidential nomination to George McGovern. There was never any doubt as the roll call was taken that the 50-year-old one-time preacher and teacher from South Dakota would make it on the first ballot. Ironically it was the Illinois delegation that put the candidate of the protestors over the magic figure of 1,508. The old-look delegation of veteran party boss Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago, was thrown out of the convention early Tuesday morning on the grounds that it failed to observe reform commission guidelines on delegation makeup.

The 58 delegates which replaced the Daley crew were almost all McGovern supporters. Watching television in his hotel suite Sen. McGovern took the announcement of the victory that few gave him a chance of winning three months ago with obvious pleasure. But he displayed more of his accustomed cool than any emotion. His first phone call brought bad, if expected, news.

Sen. Edward Kennedy called from Massachusetts to congratulate him. But when the last remaining Kennedy brother was officially offered the vice-presidential spot on the Democratic ticket he turned it down. Sen. McGovern told reporters that his first choice for the job said "he had to decline for very real personal reasons." The Democratic candidate will announce whom he will recommend to the convention later today.

His short list is understood to include Leonard Woodcock, president of the United Auto Workers, Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut, Sen. Tom Eagleton of Missouri, and Congressman Wilbur Mills of Arkansas. The worth of the nomination to Sen. McGovern is in doubt to some members of his party but most of them rallied after the roll call for the traditional display of unity.

Sens. Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie, whose withdrawal as candidates Tuesday locked up the convention for Sen. McGovern, again pledged their support. So did Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington, who has repeatedly said President Nixon will beat the South Dakotan in November.

Without naming Sen. McGovern by name, Brooklyn Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm also pledged to work for the ticket. While the McGovern forces have heard nothing from Mayor Daley their hopes were raised when Clyde Choate, a Daley lieutenant, told the convention that Illinois Democrats will unite behind the party nominee in a state which is considered vital to beating President Nixon. The major holdouts remained in the AFL-CIO labor front, whose leaders went to work for Sen. Jackson after Sens.

Humphrey and Muskie withdrew. The position of Alabama Governor George Wallace remained uncertain. However, an aide denied reports that See DEMS Page 2 ernier okays faster sand removal Dr. Tovell rejected the arguments that the sand mining was causing ecological damage or substantially reducing the public's enjoyment of the sand banks. He said the ecological damage was caused in the past century when settlers removed the vegetation that covered the dunes, leaving them open to be blown about and moved by the wind.

Dr. Tovell, a geologist with a list of offices held in conservation and naturalist organizations, largely rejected the See SAND Page 2 ij ackers hold 3 stewardesses hostage By BILL PRAGER Of Star's Queen's Park Bureau TORONTO The Ontario government has accepted in principle the Picton-area sand banks report that recommends speeding up the removal of sand from the leased area adjoining the provincial park. The report, made public here Wednesday by Natural Resources Minister Leo Bernier, calls for adding the 16.2 acre leased to Lake Ontario Cement to the neighboring, Sandbanks Provincial Park "as quickly as possible." Dr. Walter M. Tovell, assocate director and chief executive officer of the Royal Ontario Museum, who wrote the report for the government, said his proposal to accelerate sand removal would enable the cement plant to keep in operation, while cutting short the lease that gives the company control of the 16 acres.

The company, under his proposal, would stockpile the sand for future use after the lease would be surrendered. The Picton-area sand banks became the most controversial environment issue in the legislature this year. Those opposing the company's operations contended the cement company was destroying the sand banks which they said was a unique natural resource.

Philadelphia International Airport while FBI agents haggled with the gunmen over details of delivering the ransom money and freeing the passengers. The passengers were immediately taken to an emergency medical centre at the airport, many suffering from the effects of excessive heat in the plane. The hijackers had taken over the flight at 7:25 p.m. EDT Wednesday night just as it was about to land at New York's Kennedy International Airport on a flight from Philadelphia.

The flight originated in Miami. They had demanded the parachutes and a ransom consisting of $600,000 and 20,000 Mexican pesos. The gunman In the second hijacking, identified by the FBI as Melvin Martin Fisher, 49, of Norman, the father of five children, released the 51 passengers aboard an American Airlines Boeing 727 after getting the ransom at Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport early this morning. By Star Wire Services Two airline hijackers armed with sawed-off shotguns flew in an escape plane from Philadelphia to a small airport in Texas today with $600,000 ransom and four stewardess' hostages, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The plane landed at Brazoria County Airport, near Lake Jackson, about 50 miles south of Houston, the agency said.

Police radio reports said officers shot out the aircraft's tires. In another hijacking, an armed man who collected 550,000 ransom abandoned an apparent plan to try to escape by parachute and surrendered meekly to a stewardess. His pistol had no bullets, but officers did not know that until the hijacking of the Dallas-bound American Airlines jet was all over. Both planes were commandeered Wednesday night. After the plane landed at the Texas field, its stairs were lowered and the flight engineer, who had been pistol whipped, either was thrown out or escaped, the FAA said.

He was taken to hospital. The hijackers remained aboard the National Airlines 727 with the pilot and three stewardesses. A fourth stewardess escaped.

The inquiry into Mr. Saulnier's conduct followed published reports that he had received an S800 color television set from a hotel-owner while he was a police captain in charge of the morality squad in Montreal in December, 1966.

The police commission's report censured Mr. Saulnier "for having put off the return of a color television set" and "for having neglected to inform his immediate superior, Police Director Jean-Paul Gilbert, of it."
