VANCOUVER (CP) Opposition is growing to plans that may drop one and perhaps several United States television stations from the Vancouver's cable TV dial. The Canadian Radio-Television Commission, the governing body of all radio and TV in Canada, requires that priority be given Canadian stations on the limited cable service.

The CRTC already has approved one new private television station for the Vancouver area and, in hearings that open here Feb. 2, it will hear further applications from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Among other applications is one for a licence renewal from the company that operates Vancouver Cablevision. The company application includes plans to drop KIRO TV Seattle in favor of Vancouver's new private station, Western Approaches which is aiming to go into operation in September. The CRTC will also consider an application for a French-language CBC station here.

On Feb. 5. it will also consider an application in Victoria for a local CBC station in the provincial capital. If the CRTC approves the French station, Vancouver Cablevision must drop another U.S. station.

One would stay And if the Victoria CBC station is also approved, another two U.S. channels would have to be dropped for technical reasons. leaving only one U.S. channel on the cable. When Gary Bannerman, who runs an open-line show on CKNW radio in nearby New Westminster.

mentioned the proposed cancellation of Seattle's KIRO-TV on his show Wednesday, the station was flooded with calls. Bill Quinn, a station spokesman, said three phones were set up to handle the extra calls, estimated at 3.000 000 1 Wednesday, and another 500 in a two-hour span yesterday. "It's gotten out of hand." said Mr. Quinn. "We started printing a few petitions, then about a thousand, then it was 5.000 and we were out of forms and had to get more Each petition has room for 27 names.

Mr. Quinn said several businesses offered to distribute the petitions, but most of them were picked up from the station by individuals. Jack Webster, open-line host for CJOR in Vancouver, said Wednesday after a program devoted to the issue. that most of his callers had seemed reasonably calm. "There's been the usual flood of mourning calls." he said.

"There's not so much resentment as mass frustration at the reduction." He said most of his listeners complained about the cost of converters which will receive U.S. stations when Cod war talks to continue may lose TV stations CP Wirephoto Vancouver viewer holds converter for U.S. channels. they are switched to now-unused channels. Cable companies estimate converters will cost between $75 and $100 to each subscriber.

Premier Cablevision, and its subsidiary, Vancouver Cablevision, have applied to the CRTC for an expanded channel service and a $1 increase in subscriber fees to help finance it. Stuart Wallace, Premier president, estimated it would cost $18 million to rebuild the Vancouver system and to provide a 30-channel capacity with the aid of a converter. Mayor Art Phillips said Wednesday he wanted to make a private submission to the CRTC hearing to protest any attempt to remove U.S. channels. Last year.

Mr. Phillips said, he opposed the elimination of U.S. network stations to make way for new Canadian channels and his office was flooded with calls supporting his stand. "Cable television is a community antenna service," Mr. Phillips said.

"I think the peoreceiving service should make the choice of what they want to see and not (CRTC chairman) Harry Boyle." However, Bob McGall, B.C. director of the CBC, said this week that budget cutbacks gave the CBC no choice but to file a less ambitious application with the CRTC for the Victoria station. The CBC has been criticized for seeking a new station in Victoria because it will carry almost the same programs broadcast by its Vancouver station. The only exception would be i in area of local programming, which the revised CBC application has cut back to seven hours from a proposed 15 hours weekly. When the CBC applied for a Victoria station in 1973, it was rejected on the grounds that it proposed only five hours of local programming.

Jean Riou, director of the Federation des Franco-Col- ombiens. said yesterday a new French station would not automatically remove a U.S. channel from the cable dial if three other existing channels are used. The three channels are known as impaired, because they transmit ghost images. The CRTC requires cable companies to give any Canadian station a good quality channel.

Ghost images are caused on certain channels when a set receives strong cable signal, plus a weaker direct signal through the set's own aerial. Mr. Riou said the federation thinks the CRTC should change its regulations against using impaired channels. He also said the CBC already has transmitter, studios and equipment for the French station, and the French network television signal has been in Vancouver for the past few years. He estimated the station could operate with a staff of three technicians.

U.K. view on Palestine 'worrisome' to Washington REYKJAVIK, Iceland (Reuter) NATO SecretaryGeneral Joseph Luns said yesterday he hoped Iceland would defer any drastic action against Britain in their until he has had a meeting with British officials next week to continue a mediation attempt. Luns spoke to reporters af-. ter talks yesterday with the Iceland government, which is contemplating a diplomatic break with London because British trawlers are operating with naval escort inside a new, 200-mile Icelandic fishing limit. Iceland says a British frigate deliberately rammed one of its patrol boats sent out to police the limit.

Luns said yesterday: have a hope that the Icelandic government will delay all drastic action against Britain until they have carefully studied the British reaction to what I have to Informed sources in London said yesterday they thought Luns would meet British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan early next week. There was no comment from the Icelandic government yesterday on whether a decision on diplomatic relations with London was being deferred. Luns said that "the presence of British warships in Icelandic waters is one of the great obstacles to 'be UNITED NATIONS (AP) Britain told the Security Council yesterday it must "take account of the legitimate political rights of the Palestinian people" in setting out essential principles for a Middle East settlement. The U.S. state department has not gone beyond saying a settlement should cover Palestinian "interests." U.S.

sources described as Britain's use of the word "rights." They explained that the United States would like to see a reconvening of the Geneva peace conference. dormant for two years. They indicated concern that Israel which is boycotting the council debate because the Palestinian Liberation Organization is participating might also avoid the Geneva forum if the council endorses Palestinian rights. There has been no formal U.S. reply to a Soviet proposal Nov.

9 that the Soviet Union and the United States as co-chairmen reconvene the conference and invite the PLO totake part. Soviet ambassador Jacob Malik told the council yesterday that resumption of the conference is "made necessary by life itself." He said that in its current Middle East-and-Palestine debate, it should "properly prepare" for the conference and the PLO should be invited along with the original parties Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Israel. British ambassador Ivor Richard urged the council to one-sided actions which would make it even more difficult to create that climate of confidence necessary for successful negotiations." The new position on Palestinian rights left the United States the only major power that has not acceded to the concept. Arab diplomats said a committee of Arabs working on a resolution expected to have at least one and perhaps two or three versions ready Monday. MacEachen hears PLO case again AMMAN (CP) External Affairs Minister Allan MacEachen arrived here yesterday on a Middle Eastern tour in which he has heard repeated calls for Canadian recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

MacEachen arrived from Saudi Arabia, where an agreement on economic cooperation was signed following a general round of discussions described by Canadian officials as successful. Prince Saud AI Faisal, Saudi foreign minister. pressed his country's view that Canada should recognize the PLO during talks with MacEachen. Faisal told reporters after the meeting that the PLO. widely regarded as a terrorist organization in Canada, is the choice of the Palestinian people.

Earlier this week Egyptian President Anwar Sadat also called for Canadian recognition of the PLO, telling reporters after meeting MacEachen that recognition of the organization as the sole representative of the Palestinian people would contribute to world peace. Jordan is the third country on MacEachen's tour of five Middle Eastern states. He goes on to Baghdad, Iraq, tomorrow. The economic agreement signed in the Saudi capital of Riyadh calls for creation of an economic commission which will help Canadian business cash in on billions of dollars worth of Saudi spending under a five-year plan of development. The Saudis plan to spend $145 billion during the course of the plan.

Prince Faisal said the agreement will provide a framework under which the relationship between Canada and Saudi Arabia can be expanded. He said Saudi Arabia will open an embassy in Ottawa shortly. 1.
