THE WINDSOR STAR, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1985 D7 Miller plays cool to Senate revise TORONTO (CP) The minority Conservative government will not bother with the federal government's plan to curb the powers of the Senate unless one of the opposition parties agrees to its passage, Ontario Premier Frank Miller says. "I wouldn't risk my government or waste the time for that," Miller said in a telephone interview Sunday. "There are more important things to the people of Ontario than Senate After the May 2 election, federal Justice Minister John Crosbie had said he was confident the Conservatives' narrow victory wouldn't derail the plan. WITHOUT THE backing of Ontario, the federal government would be thwarted in its attempt at Senate reform because it would lack the necessary support of seven provinces representing 50 per cent of Canada's population. Quebec has already said it will not support the reform because it has not signed the constitution.

Whether the two opposition parties in Ontario will back Miller remains to be seen. The New Democratic Party still has to meet with the Conservatives and the Liberals this week to discuss the shape of the new government. NDP Leader Bob Rae supports longstanding party policy favoring the abolition of the Senate and has said he would listen to Miller's arguments in favor of the resolution. But Rae already has reservations about the federal proposal, saying it could slow down the legislative process in Ottawa. GIVING THE Senate a fixed time limit to deal with House of Commons bills, as the Mulroney government proposes, "may even encourage senators to delay legislation as a matter of course, which I think is a lousy it gives licence to delay." Liberal Leader David Peterson refused to indicate whether his party would support the resolution, but when asked whether he thought the federal proposal to reform the Senate is useful, he said:" Absolutely in no way.

"I think it's tinkering. I think it (the resolution) needs some basic fundamental thought." The resolution, which sets a 30-day limit for Senate consideration of money bills and 45 days for other legislation, should be passed in the Commons by the end of the month, Crosbie has said. It will also give the Commons the option of rejecting amendments made by senators to government bills. The federal government's decision to limit the Senate's powers was triggered after Liberal senators, who hold 72 of the 104 seats in the upper house, delayed a money bill unanimously approved by Parliament. Migrants stranded LAGOS (Reuter) Riot police used tear gas Sunday in clashes with hundreds of illegal immigrants who have been ordered out of Nigeria but are unable to leave because borders are closed.

The migrants had been brought back to a transit camp near Lagos airport from border posts where they were stranded when the frontiers were closed last Friday night. The migrants, chanting and throwing stones, poured out of the camp and blocked the main road to the airport for several hours. They set fire to advertising billboards. "WE ARE ready to Correction Please note the following correction to Simpsons Spirit Watch It Grow flyer inserted with the Windsor Star, Wednesday, May 8, 1985. Page 12, Items B.

die," some yelled as others waved, danced and beat with sticks on roadside crash barriers and on oil drums. They said they want to go home by road and have no intention of waiting for ships provided by the Nigerian government. By late afternoon, the immigrants had moved back into the camp and a senior police officer promised everything would be done to get them out of the country quickly. On April 15, Nigeria ordered an estimated 700,000 illegal immigrants to put their papers in order by last Friday or leave. The borders were opened just over a week ago to I let THE them out.

BORDERS were closed when the deadline expired and over the past two days tens of thousands of people unable to leave poured into camp. Earlier in the day, the migrants massed at the camp, a huge, low concrete building normally used by pilgrims on their way to Mecca, complained they had not eaten for days. Tension grew steadily throughout the day at the crowded camp. During the morning a few stones and empty soft drink cans were thrown at riot police and soldiers used long whips to drive. immigrants away from an access road to the airport.

PRICES OF bread, soft drinks and water tripled overnight and hundreds of women from a nearby village hurriedly set up food stalls. One man who snatched a loaf of bread from a Nigerian bus driver was chased by hundreds of other people demanding a bite. Other migrants pulled up cassava tubers, a potato-like staple, from a nearby field and ate them raw. A senior Ghanaian High Commission official drove into the camp to check on the situation but he was booed and his driver quickly reversed and sped away. There have been about a dozen reported deaths so far, mostly in road accidents, but Nigeria has denied reports from Benin that its security agents shot five immigrants.

Accra radio said the chairman of Ghana's 7 private road transport union, Kofi Aikins, had. left the country to negotiate with unions in Togo and Benin to help transport stranded Ghanaians home.

Colleen, Sharon and Randy and Mouradian said he gave one to a client, Jackson inmate Merquiades Cespedes, while visiting the prison to discuss an appeal. Cespedes later wrote to him and said he had found more than 300 fellow inmates who would volunteer for the blood tests, Mouradian said. About 500 other volunteers have been tested so far at Detroitarea hospitals and clinics.

Although the odds of finding a suitable donor for Brandon are one in 10,000, Weiss said, "the numbers are not impossible." Brandon receives blood transfusions three times a week, but his condition has reached the critical stage, his father said. Fewer than 100 successful bone marrow transplants have been conducted in the United States, said Dr. Charles Main, one of Brandon's physicians. Rejection of the transplanted tissue can be fatal despite the introduction of new anti-rejection drugs, Main said.
