Chretien and Zaozirny both appeared to be in a conciliatory mood. Their joint news conference was marked by smiles and compliments, a marked change from the oil wars of two years ago. The federal minister tactfully distanced himself from his own recent suggestion that the pricing agreement has no legal standing, saying he was misunderstood. Weve agreed that we will not start a debate about the meaning of words.

Well find a solution." The two ministers said they also discussed strategy to help boost export sales of natural gas. Exports have been sluggish because of a soft market in the United States and a price the Americans say is too high. Were making good, joint progress in that area, Chretien said. dropped in recent months. The benchmark price set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries now is $29 (U.S.) a barrel.

The Canadian domestic price is $29.75 (Canadian), or about 82 per cent of the world level. The federal-provincial energypricing agreement calls for a domestic price no higher than 75 per cent of the world mark and that has raised calls for price rollbacks. Alberta is dead-set against such a move. Chretien said officials will watch the price fluctuations over the next three months. The domestic price is to be based on the average three-month price of world oil landed in Montreal.

We take the average of these three months before we change the price. We intend to follow, as much as possible, the agreement. We do EDMONTON (CPI Consumers likely will not see a change in gasoline prices until this summer, federal Energy Minister Jean Chretien said Friday. Chretien and John Zaozirny, his provincial counterpart, huddled over lunch and emerged from the meeting to say they will take no immediate action to deal with the shaky world oil price. However, Chretien did say that crude oil prices may drop in July with a reduction in the federal Petroleum Compensation Charge, which goes to help pay for oil imports.

We will take some time to assess where the price of oil will stabilize in the world, Chretien said at a post-lunch news conference. He said the federal-provincial energy agreement calls for price changes six months apart. We respect the agreement.

JOHNS, Nfld. (CP) Mobil Oil Canada Ltd.

assumed erroneously that the owners of the Ocean Ranger, Ocean Drilling and Exploration were aware the rig was in trouble before it Sank, a Mobil official said Friday. Merv Graham of Dartmouth, N.S., who was Mobils drilling superintendent for Newfoundland, told a royal commission into the Ranger sinking there was no communication between Mobil and Ode-co shore personnel on Feb. 14, 1982, to discuss the rigs problems. Earlier testimony by Graham indicated the Canadian Coast Guard Both he and Zaozirny hedged on the question of price rollbacks, saying there is no point in speculating about how the international market will go. There is no plan to change the situation before the time comes at the end of July.

The federal minister took a page out of Premier Peter Lougheeds book on oil pricing, though, rebuking other provincial governments which have slapped hefty taxes on gasoline. Chretien said he is tired of being blamed for high gasoline prices. Most of the tax money is going into the provincial coffers in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes, he said. It's just fair to tell the people where the moneys going.

The corporation was suing for damage caused during a 1974 rampage by federation-affiliated workers at its northern hydroelectric dam site during a labor dispute. The case was settled out of court in 1979 for $200,000. also wasnt informed of the sinking until more than three hours after the Ranger disappeared from radar screens. Odeco, which is based in New Orleans and owns several oil rigs around the world, leased the Ocean Ranger and its drilling crew to Mobil for exploration drilling on the Hibernia oil field about 180 nautical miles east of St.

Johns. The agreement called for Mobil and Odeco officials to consult each other about precautionary measures in adverse weather. But Graham said he incorrectly assumed Odeco had been informed the contracts, under threat of fines. Over 28,000 charges have been laid so far under the Quebec Labor Code and Bill 111, which provided for heavier penalties including firings. Dupre said that none of the charges will be heard in court until the question of Bill 105s validity is settled and pending the outcome of test cases challenging Bill 111.

Girouards ruling came In a test case involving charges against 12 junior college teachers charged with violating Bill 105. The judge ruled that the contracts were statutes in the legal sense and should have been presented to the national assembly in both English and French. Meanwhile, the Montreal Catholic School Commission, the provinces largest school board, voted Friday to ignore a Quebec Justice Department request for the names, home addresses and social insurance numbers of teachers who had participated in the strike. In another development, teachers in Montreals south shore region who defied their union and returned to work during the strike won a temporary Injunction Friday ordering their colleagues to stop harassing them. phone call the head of the Roman Catholic Church ever received from the United States, Brzezinski writes in Power and Principle.

In order to deter the Soviets, who finally pulled back, Brzezinski says the administration acted to strip them of the advantage of surprise by notifying key foreign governments and Solidarity leaders in Poland of the reliable information received by Carters National Security Council. At the same time, Brzezinski says he sent a memorandum to the U.S. Defence Department ordering the preparation of lists of weapons that might be transferred to China if the Soviets invaded Poland.

He has asked for a retraction. The premier has released transcripts from his assembly speech in which he is quoted as saying there were consultations in his office with of the Rangers problems during a fierce storm on the night of Feb. 14, 1982. The rig sank in the early hours of the next day, killing all 84 crew members.

Graham told the inquiry Thursday he held several conversations with Mobils drilling supervisor on the Ranger the night of the tragedy. He said he knew at 4 p.m. NST the Ranger had disconnected from the oil well because of bad weather and that at 8:45 p.m., a wave smashed a porthole in the ballast-control room. Officials believe sea water pouring through the smashed porthole short-circuited the electrical ballast-control panel. Radio messages reported ballast-control valves in the rigs pontoons were opening and closing at random, causing the rig to develop a 10-degree list.

Jimmy Counts of New Orleans, who was Odecos drilling superintendent in St. John's, testified earlier he didnt know until 7 p.m. on Feb. 14 that the Ranger had disconnected from the well and he was not Informed about the porthole breaking until the rig capsized. The crew abandoned the rig at, 1:30 a.m.

and Mobil was satisfied about two hours later the rig had sank. But Mobil didnt inform the Canadian Coast Guards search and rescue centre until almost four hours later of the Rangers vanish- Graham said he felt Odeco officials on the Ranger had contacted their superiors in St. John's after the porthole smashed. That was why he didnt inform Counts of the situation until after the rig sank. He said that looking at the disaster In hindsight, it may have helped If Odeco personnel had been informed of the problems after the 1 a.m.

call from the Ranger. Onshore engineers in New Orleans may have been able to assist the Rangers crew, he said. Turning to rescue equipment on the supply boat Seaforth Highlander, Graham said the vessel had the rescue equipment required by federal regulations. Mobil has an ongoing program to update rescue equipment on its supply vessels, he said. Supply vessels oft Newfoundland and Nova Scotia should be equipped with new rescue equipment by the end of the month, including high-speed inflatable rescue boats.

administrators of the corporation, and that although he favored a settlement, the decision belongs to Hydro-Quebec and its administration and the James Bay Energy Corp. The newspaper quoted Jean-Roch Boivin, a top aide to Levesque, as saying that the government was asked to intervene in the lawsuit by labor federation president Louis Laberge. Levesque has since said that -Boivins role was one of an intermediary favorable to settlement. Levesque has also ordered an assessment of the facts surrounding the settlement. But Bourassa told an audience at a riding association function in Lac Delage, 50 kilometres north of Quebec City, that a public inquiry is needed.

It is a test for the accountability of public administration and for the autonomy of Crown corporations, said Bourassa, who was premier at the time of the incident at the LG-2 dam site. The burden of proof is up to the head of the government and he should show that he respected the national assembly. La Presse stood by its story in its Saturday edition. 5 sentenced to death in Guatemala GUATEMALA CITY (AP) -Five men, including two former soldiers, have been sentenced to death by a secret tribunal that found them-guilty of murder, rape, kidnapping and robbery, the presidential press office announced Friday. No date was set for the executions, and the statement noted that the case would have to be heard by an appeals court before the sentences could be carried out.

It said the five were convicted of a series of crimes including the Feb. 3 stabbing death of an army officer and a later attack on a woman that left her between life and death. The statement said the men savagely attacked the woman and then shot her in the face during a robbery at her home. The convicted men were identified as Mario Ramiro Martinez Gonzalez, Rony Alfredo Martinez Gonzalez, Otto Virula Ayala and former soldiers Jesus Enrique Velasquez Gutierrez and Julio Cesar Herrera Cardona. Their army ranks were not given and the statement did not say if the two were in the service at the time the crimes were committed.

Under a state of national emergency decreed July 1, people suspected of involvement with left-wing guerrillas or terrorist groups may be tried by secret tribunals that are empowered to impose death sentences. Ten persons convicted by the tribunals have been shot by firing squads since last September. Que. can continue charging civil servants, says lawyer J.K. Struthers, Executive Vice-President: James E.

CLASSIFIED RATES QUEBEC (CP) The Quebec government can continue to lay charges against public sector employees who went on an illegal strike to protest imposed labor contracts, even though a court ruled that the contracts were unconstitutional, a Justice Department lawyer said Friday. Jean-Paul Dupre said the provinces decision to appeal the judgment, handed down Thursday by Sessions Court Judge Gerard Girouard, means that the contracts, appended to legislation known as Bill 105 and passed last December, are still in force. The contracts sparked an escalating series of walkouts in January and February that at one point Involved almost 200,000 Quebec public employees.

The provinces 71,000 elementary, high school and junior college teachers stayed off the job for three weeks. The national assembly adopted Bill 111 ordering the teachers back to work on Feb. 17, but the teachers defied the law for two days before suspending their strike so contract negotiations could resume. Bill 105 rolled back wages for many government employees, imposed working conditions and banned strikes for the duration of CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph. 653-2100 8:00 8.00 Mon.
