The Reagan puppet suggested that Gene Kelley, star of the 1952 movie "Singing in the Rain," be named special ambassador for acid rain "because he could help people be happy, even in the rain. "It's not important whether you win or lose," the Reagan puppet told the Mulroney puppet, "It's only important that we win." Meanwhile, the signs of dissatisfaction blossomed in the crowd.

"Send AIDS to the Contras." "Reagan Hors du Canada" (Reagan out of Canada). "Newfoundlanders Against U.S. Imperialism." "Nancy, Take the Big Guy Home for a Snooze." "Stop Arm Sale to Iran." And the somewhat bewildering sign "Legs Not Arms." Some people were selling doormats OTTAWA Feet wet but eyes bright, 17-year-old Elizabeth Casuga had traveled two hours by bus from Montreal to stand for three hours in the rain on Sunday to protest the visit here by President Reagan. "I think it is important that youth make a statement," she said while trying to fend off the slant of rain with her battered umbrella. She was not alone.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police estimated that 3,300 demonstrators, young and old, snowed up on the soggy grass of Parliament Hill in anticipation of the president's arrival. Reagan, with his wife, Nancy, arrived at nearby Upland Airport at 3:30 p.m. to begin a meeting with Canada's Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, their third annual summit. Government officials of both countries said beforehand that the meeting was unlikely to produce big announcements, About 4 p.m., after arrival ceremonies, President and Nancy Reagan were whisked to downtown Ottawa in a sweep of limousines. They never saw the demonstrators, who disbanded at 4 p.m., as the government requested.

What preceded on Parliament Hill, however, was a festive gathering of Canadians, who despite the rain were acid rain, native rights, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Iran, free trade and abortion. Their buttons, comments and wilting placards for the most part centered on acid rain. CANADIANS ARE particularly sensitive to this issue because scientists report that more than 50 percent of the acid rain that falls on Canada is blown in from the United States. In two languages the signs said "Stop Acid Rain" and "II Pleut A Mourir" (The Rain of Death). Scores of people carried dead limbs from maple trees.

"It's serious. It's not a joke," said Lise Routhere, whose Sherbrooke, Quebec, farm depends on the sale of maple syrup for survival. "I carry the maple branch because acid rain destroys," she said in broken English. "And we have less syrup." Across the way, members of Greenpeace, an activist environmental group, held up a huge banner that read: "Acid Rain Burns Our Bass." Greenpeace had planned to send a balloon over the protest and have a man parachute into the crowd. That was stopped by strong winds and the promise of arrest by the RCMP.

In a milling parade the chants were "Ronald Reagan get out of Canada." One group called the Boondoggle CIO The new $191 U.S. Embassy in Moscow is piddled with hidden KGB listening devices, will never be secure and should be torn down and replaced at Soviet cqst, the former vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Sunday.

"Our general contractor is the KGB fof our embassy over there. When you cone right down to the bottom line, that is what it is," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. The fact is that this embassy can ITBeYer, ever be made secure.

He sajfl the United States should "require piyment from the Soviets for the damage that has been caused or not allow ZBfem to go into their own embassy in "Washington." 25 In Ottawa, President Reagan, re-onding to a report that the new U.S. Embassy in Moscow already contains ZSbviet bugging devices, said Sunday if with caricatures of Reagan and Mulroney. "You wipe your feet on their faces," Andrew Dicks of Ottawa said with a grin. Elizabeth Casuga, whose shoes had soaked through in the wet grass, was saddened that the two leaders were unlikely to produce major decisions on issues like Central America.

the arrest of seven people, including a Soviet-born woman, on espionage charges. is The Soviet Foreign Ministry announced Saturday in Moscow that four French diplomats and two businessmen were being expelled. It called French expulsion of the Soviets unjustified. On Sunday, France said the same of the Soviet order. The French Foreign Ministry statement said: "It is a measure of pure retaliation, lacking any justification.

The French government can only regret the inspiration of this measure contrary to the interests of relations between the two countries." It said the six French in Moscow "in no way breached their obligations." France has not given details of what the Soviets are accused of, but both sides have used the diplomatic jargon for espionage in announcing the expulsions. Last month, France arrested seven people on charges of spying for a foreign power. The seven, including the Soviet-born wife of a French engineer, reportedly were involved in an espionage ring aimed at providing the Soviet Union with secret details of CiiASSCCS Before you buy another pair of shoes, consider the quality and value you'll find in a Florsheim Classic at Sibleys: Rich textured leather.

SAN FRANCISCO Education Secretary William Bennett said Sunday the educational reform movement "is being hijacked and held for ransom" and the major culprits are Indiana, Texas, Maine and Michigan. Bennett, who is spending the week visiting schools in the West and attending GOP fund-raisers, issued his attack in remarks prepared for an Education instruction in the state.

i Bennett also cited Indiana, where he said state legislators gutted the governor's plan to reward schools that improve educational performance.

"I am concerned that in some places the education reform movement is being hijacked and held for ransom by those who do not have educational improvement as their first priority. We cannot allow this to happen," said Bennett. Bennett described education reform as improving the knowledge and skills of American students, assessing student performance and making parents as well as school officials accountable for student achievement.

Michigan, he said, is backsliding because the state Board of Education has decided not to require local districts to give statewide science tests. Last fall, the state included a science exam in the annual Michigan Educational Assessment Program test it gives to fourth-, seventh- and lOth-graders in the state's public schools.
