The demonstration, which blocked traffic on a major downtown street, was intended to draw attention to the close military ties between Canada and the United States, protest organizer Peter Dundas said. As 33 demonstrators blocked snarled morning traffic, police asked them to clear the street. About a dozen officers dragged the demonstrators away, one by one. As the first wave of protesters were loaded on the bus, another 25 to 30 demonstraters gathered on the sidewalk, crossed the street and paraded in front of the Defence Department building.

They left after about 30 minutes. Sunday, hardhats, yuppies, punk rockers, feminists, senior citizens and mothers with small babies marched and chanted in faint drizzle on Parliament Hill to protest a wide range of American policies. The rally, which police said involved more than 4,000 protestors, began a few hours before Reagan arrived in Ottawa. Virtually every interest group in the country environmentalists, unionists, Marxists, Palestinians and disarmament advocates, among many others THERE WERE NO VEHICLES ON BRIDGE WHEN SECOND PORTION COLLAPSED Photo by The ASSOCIATED PRESS Bridge falls, people missing GLEN, N.Y.

BUT UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS ENDED UP IN SWIRLING WATERS EARLIER IN THE DAY Photo by The ASSOCIATED PRESS came with their placards and voiced their pet concerns in a near-festive atmosphere.

Two people carried a giant effigy of Mulroney wearing an Uncle Sam hat with his suit pockets filled with fake American dollars. Another held up a huge Reagan puppet, complete with facial wrinkles and his characteristic rosy cheeks. In Calgary, About 150 people gathered outside the United States consulate Saturday to protest Reagan's visit. Organizers said they wanted Mulroney to adopt a tougher stand on testing of the U.S. cruise missle in Canada.

They also wanted Mulroney to get tough with Reagan on the acid rain issue and American intervention in Latin America. Reagan conceded major ground Sunday in wrangling over acid rain, admitting for the first time that American sources cause half the acid rain killing Canadian lakes and forests. A Canadian official said Mulroney tried to push Reagan to support a treaty to set clear targets for cutting industrial emissions. The acid rain issue has been central to the buildup to the third annual summit between the two leaders. Mulroney was grilled about the subject in two separate nationally broadcast U.S.

television interviews. In them, he defended Reagan's commitment to seek political support for $2.5 billion over five years for acid rain research and demonstration projects, but he argued that more must be done. Reagan questioned Mulroney about Canadian plans to license film and video imports in an effort to reduce U.S. domination of the Canadian film market. Mulroney assured Reagan that the proposals won't impede U.S.

and other foreign films from coming into Canada. Mulroney and Reagan also agreed Sunday that their governments would work jointly to combat the spread of AIDS and would attempt to get the deadly disease discussed at the annual summit of western industrialized nations this June in Venice. Kilgour may quit Tories CALGARY (CP) If Edmonton Kilgour leaves the Progressive that might just be what the Tories them up, Calgary MP Alex Kindy The Edmonton Sun said in a copyright story Sunday that Kilgour has not decided whether he will cross the floor of the House of Commons to join another party, sit as an independent or quit politics. If Kilgour stays in politics, most expect he would go to the Liberal camp since leader John Turner is his brother-in-law.

"I've had some differences on MP David Conservatives, need to shake said Sunday. DAVID KILGOUR and stumbles also said he was government's the Edmonton disagrees with policy, but I've tried to work from within," Kindy said. "There are slow indications the party is moving." "It's not an either-or proposition," Kilgour said.

"I'm not trying to raise a gun to anyone's head. I'm very unhappy about some of the things the government's done." He noted the government has helped Western agriculture but said Ottawa has done nothing to ease unemployment or other economic woes outside Ontario. "This government hasn't done anything to make it clear we represent all Canadians equally. "There are 7.2 million in the West who are not full partners in this country." "What bothers me most are attitudinal things the patronage, the way the party fundraises, the whole bit," said Kilgour, whose sister Geills is married to Turner. He said his frustration has grown and he's appealed directly to Mulroney without any response.

"They (Mulroney and party brass) all know how unhappy I am," he said. "I've written so many letters to the prime everybody knows I'm very unhappy."
