TEL AVIV (AP) -- Israel
turned aver 6,700 square
kilometres of Sinai
wilderness to Egypt on
Tuesday as part of the
Egyptian-Israeli peace
treaty, but sharp differences
on self-rule for Palestinians
remained as the two coun-
tries prepared to resume
autonomy negotiations.

“Both sides are con-
tributing to peace and both

- sides are making sacrifices

for peace,” said Israeli
Brig.-Gen. Dov Sion as he

turned over control of a.

triangular sector of south-
central Sinai to Egyptian
Brig. Gen, Saf-el-Din Avu
Shnaf.

“We have achieved more
in peace than we have by all
our wars,” Slon added.

Meanwhile, Rev. Jesse
Jackson, an American black
activist on a personal peace
mission in the Middle East,

. urged the U.S, to increaze its
financial aid to Palestinian

Menachem Begin, who
refused to meet Jackson,

Convict surrenders

By JAMES ALLEN:

MONTREAL (CP)
Denis Racine, leader of three
convicts who were holding
four hostages at the federal
Archambault Institute, gave
himself up to prison
authorities Tuesday night.

Assistant prison director
Laval Marchand said Racine
Gave himself up at 7:50 p.m,
EDT, and was immediately
transferred to the “super-
maximum" Correctional
Development Centre ad-
jacent to the federal Laval
Institute, where he will
undergo psychiatric
evaluation in the next few
days.

Meanwhile, negotiations
continued with the two
remaining convicts,

“We hope that negatiations
will go much more quickly
with the other two convicts
now that their leader has
given himself up,'’ Mar-
chand sald.

The authorities are consid-
ering Racine’s transfer to
the Pinel Institute for the
criminally ingane, said
Marchand.

Racine, waering jeans and
a sweatshirt covered by a
shart Jacket, was led through
the automatic double-gates
of the Archambault Institute
by two prison guards.

He arrived in a flood of
lights set up by television
cameramen, was placed
behind a wide barrier in the
rear of a prison pickup truck
and driven to the correc-
tional centre,

Racine was serving a min-
imum of 25 years for first de-
gree murder,

Earlier in the day, another
weary-looking hostage-taker

Bave himself up to
authorities, and one hostage
was released.

The release of 23-year-old
teacher Lise Roger — the
second of an original group
of six hostages to be freed
during the two-day ordeal —
was follawed by a statement
from Marchand which said
the negotiating climate had
improved.

Marchand said Miss Roger
was released by the
prisoners “to demonstrate
their good faith," and
nothing was demanded in
return.

Another hostage, 25-year-
old clerk Jacques Lecompte,
had been released Monday
night. He was treated for
shock and later released
from hospital.

Still being held are

‘teachers Michel Pare and

John Brockman, security
officer Serge Geoffroy and
guard Martin Chevarie.

Identified the remaining hos-
tage-takers as Michel
Boudreault, serving four
years for armed robbery and
escapingo custody, and

Serge Payeur, serving 10
years for robbery with
violence and kidnapping.

Earller in the day, officials
had rejected a demand for a

bus to take the prisoners and -

the hostages to Montreal

Mair denies
the coverup

VICTORIA (CP)— En-
vironment Minister Rafe
Mair denied Tuesday claims
that his ministry suppressed
a report that warns of the
danger of air pollution by the
Gulf Canada Ltd. ol] refinery
in Kamloops,

Mair said in an interview
thereport was an inter-office
memorandum that senior
ministry officials reviewed
and rejected.

Mair was responding to
complaints by a former air
engineer that the ministry
hushed a a report that said a
sulphur recovery system
was needed for the refinery
in the southern Interior city.

David Allen, former air
engineer for the south.
central region, said the study
— dated January, 1979 —
indicated that a tougher $2
Million pollution contro)
system was needed at the
plant.

He said an environinental
monitoring system now at
the plant is not sufficient and
he resigned after he failed to
get Gulf to install a scrubber
to remove sulphur dioxide.

Mair said the report was
written by Allen and ‘‘the
‘senior people of the staff
lodked at it and simply
rejected it.’’

could not be picked out by
police snipers,

They asked for morphine
as well, but that demand was
also rejected,

Meanwhile, Pierre
Thibault, one of the group of
four prisoner's who seized the
hostages in the prison school
Monday morning, broke
tanks with his accomplices
and surrendered to
authorities. He is serving an
11-year sentence for at-
tempted murder and armed
robbery.

Looking weak, Thibault
was led by two guards
through the two é-metre high
fences surrounding Ar-
chambault. His legs were
manacled and his arms —
with a cigarette dangling
from one hand — were
chained to a belt around his
waist as he was hustled into
a van.

Marchand could not say
why Thibault left the group,
but said he assumed it was
evidence the hostage-takers
were divided, :

Alleged ringleader Racine
spoke to his parents by phone
Monday night and turned
aside their appeal that he
free the hostages. Racine,

- who is not eligible for parole

until the year 2001, said:
"It’s impossible for me to
atay here that long. That's
why I must do something.”
The conversation was re-
ported by Marchand, after
officials rhonitored the call. .

Grain workers
told-to settle

VANCOUVER (CP)
Grain workers are being told
by their union leaders to
accept the settlement terms
of federal concillation
commissioner Emmett Hall
in order ta keep grain ex-
ports moving.

Local 433 of the Grain
Workers Unlan decided
Tuesday to recommend the
660 workers accept the pact,

‘which provides a wage in-

crease of #0 cents an hour in
each year of a two-year
contract, as well as other im-
provements in income and
“job-benefits; (“= 7

Henry Kanes, the union's
secretary-treasurer, said
Halli advised union and
management negotiators
during the conciliation
proceedings that ‘we should
think more about Canada;
that the grain trade cannot
suffer anymore and that we
should put Canada first.’

Kanes said the workers
dpd not get what they
believed was necessary but
“we realize we can’t impair
Canada's grain tran-
sportation and exports at
this time."

“Any stoppage in grain
movements through Van-

couver would not only harm
the country's farmer.
producers but also damage
Canada’s exports beyond
repair.”'

Kanes said he hopes the
workers will accept the
union’s recommendations
and Hall's unity message at
a meeting scheduled for
Sunday.

The general increase will
lift the base rate for laborers
in the waterfront elevators to
$10.92 an hour, beginning
Jan, 1. Tradesmen's wage
will rise to $12.19,

_ SUPPLEMENT
WAS DELAYED

The Progress Edition to the Daily Herald,
which was originally sheduled to appear
Tuesday, has been delayed for approximately a
lechnical

One of the units in the paper's presses has
malfunctioned, necessitating the delay. The
edition is now expected to appear in next
Tuesday's edition of the Herald, dated October 2.
We apologize for any disappointment the
edition’s non-appearance may have caused,

difficulties.

But he intends to introduce
the budget in November and
not to make it centre on
energy prices if no
agreement is reached.

Earlier Tuesday, a Clark
aide said the budget could be
delayed if no agreement was
reached with the provinces.

Clark said he remains
hopeful he would have a
tentative agreement before a
first ministers’ conference
early in December and put
the finishing touches on the
agreement at the con-
ference.

The prime minister also
indicated he will not appoint
more senators to his cabinet.
“My intention is to have
future cabinet appointments
from the House of Com-
mons."

Clark said during the
federal election campaign
last spring he would name
Quebec senators to the
cabinel if there were not
