THAN OIL PRICE

Revenue more importa

Hy JOHN FERGUSON

TORONTO (CP) — Prime
Minister Joe Clark said
Wednesday that ensuring
new revenues from higher oil
prices are of benefit to all
parts of the country is a
more important question in
the long run than the issue of
price.

Encouraged by Ontario
Premier William Davis —
who introduced him to 2,500
supporters at a $150-a-plate
Conservative fund-raising
dinner — Clark sald he is
committed to coming out of

PARIZEAU

protracted Ottawa-Alberta
oi] negotiations with an
agreement to “meet the
long-term needs of the whole
nation.”

Clark said he hopea for an
agreement on cil prices and
revenue sharing with
Alberta but if he has to use
federal powers to get one "I
assure you that this
government is prepared to
accept its responsibility.’

Davis, as premier of the
biggest oil-conauming
province, has been calling
for moderation in oll price

increases the Clark
government saya are needed
to encourage conservation.

But he supports Clark’s
plan to redistribute the extra
revenues by skimming off
from the oli companies half
the increases above a certain
limit. Alberta Premier Peter
Lougheed is opposed to the
the Clark plan.

Davis told Clark that in
addition to listening to
Albertans in the talks on oil,
he also has a responsibility
to stand up for the interests
of the rest of Canada.

"You, sir, have the very
tough task of speaking for 22
million Canadians who also
have their rights and ex-
pectations,” Davis said.

And in an apparent swipe
at Alberta, Davis sald that
“province building, while
important, cannot be more
important than nation
buil aad

Clark said that in the long
run “the major problem we
have to resolve beyond the
current difficulties is golng
to be to get agreement on
arrangements that will

ensure that all Canadians
are able to join In the ad-
vantages of the wealth that
exists in parts of Canada,”

He said he is committed ta
“ensuring that we do not
waste the great asset for
Canada that exists in the
industrial potential and the
industrial strength’ of
Ontario.

It was Clark's firat big
event in Toronto since the
May 22 election that gave
him a minority government
and he was profuse in his
thanks to Davis — who

Quebec strikers may return

QUEBEC (CP) — Finance
Minister Jacquea Parizeau
says he has a possible basis
for agreement with hospital
workers who have held an
illegal strike since Monday.
The union, however, says it
may be several days before
the deal is ratified and all
employees are back on the

lab,

Even if hospital staff
return to work, the govern-
ment’s problems with other
publicemployees may not be
over.

The Centrale de V’En-
seignement du Quebec, rep-
Tesenting most of the

province's elementary and
high school teachers as well
as junior college instructors,
is upset because the
government trimmed salary
offera to its members in
order to increase the wages
of hospital employees.

The teachers also dislike
government proposals on
some key non-monetary
issues and spokesmen
warned earlier this week the
members could be off the job
within two weeks.

So far, however, only the
hospital employees have
walked out in defiance of
pecial legislation suspen-

ding the right to strike for all
public servants,

Parizeau tabled final
contract offers for all 276,000
of Quebec's public sector
workers late Wednesday
night, just beating the
midnight legal deadline,

Negotiators for the
hospital union, an affiliate of
the Confederation of
National Trade Unions,
expressed guarded sat-
isfaction,

But Pau) Thibault, a Mon-

treal-based spokesman for
the confederation, warned
today that the offers must
still be approved by 500
delegates from union locals
who met through the night
Wednesday and continued
discusslons today in Quebec
ty. .

After the delegates make a
decision, the offers must be
submitted to rank-and-file
members for a ratification
vote, Union leaders could
order members back on the

job pending the ratificatlon
vote, but Thibault said he
thought it unlikely they
would do 50.

Members will likely stay
off the job until after’ the
tank-andfile vote and
balloting could take up to
three days, he said,

When the walkout began
Monday, about 45,000 were
off the job, but Social Affairs
Min ster Denis Lazure said
the number was down to
about 30,000 by Wednesday,

Negotiations, he sald,
consist of settling details of a
principle agreed to by two or
more parties, No province
other than Quebec agreed to
the principle of sovereignty-
association, so there is

-nothing to negotiate, .

At the same time, the
NDP's governing body, the
20-member federal council
led by Broadbent, decided to
avoid the negotiation issue in
a fresh policy statement
which simply reaffirmed the
position adopted by the NDP
national convention in 1977
after an emotional debate.

That polley said Quebecers
should have the right to
decide if they want to
separate, but at the same
time stressed the NDP urged
the province to stay in
Canada. The Quebec
referendum on sovereignty-
association is scheduled for
June, ,
Broadbent said the con-
vention comes at a time
when the NDP feels con-

fident about the direction it’s _

going, is satisfied with the
performance of its 26 mem-
bers of Parliament in the
Commons and has serious
proposals to make on such
issues as Canadian
ownership of natural re-
sources,

“The other partles are
vacillating all over the
place,” he said,

Broadbent said in light of
the NDP convention, the
resignation of Liberal
Leader Pierre Trudeau was
ironit. The NDP considered
itself the only real alter-
native to the Conservative
government. ;

“The Liberal party
literally is leaderless, The
Conservative
figuratively is leadertess,

Broadbent said Trudeau's
regignation will not change
NDP strategy in the Com-
mons. The government
would get NDP support If it
kept such election promises
as reducing unemployment
but would be denied support
if it goes ahead with. such
pledges as removing Fetro-
Canada, the state-owned oil
company, from government
hands,

party :

nt

campaigned for him — and
to party workers in Toronto.

Aides sald Clark was in
good spirits simce the an-
nouncement - by Plerre
Trudeau earlier in the day
that he would quit the
leadership of ate Liberal
party. It appeared to all bul
eliminate the possibillty of
the Liberals trying to out-
vote the Conservatives in the
Commons and forcing and
election at least until after
the Libera] leadership
convention which may be
held in March,

Clark praised Trudeau for

his contributions to the
country, particularly for
such measures as the Of-
ficlal Languages Act, which
guarantees French and
English language rights in
federal! jurisdiction.
_ But Clark reminded his
audience that the Con-
servative party now has to
make
Canadians understand that
the maintenance of their
rights “does not depend on
which party is in power in
Ottawa,”

It was the first time Davis

- and Clark had met slnce
Clark filed to get
_agreement last week with
Lougheed over the key issues
of oll prices into the 19803
and the federal-provincial
revenue sharing.

Davis and Clark met pri-

- Vately for about half an hour
before the dinner and aides
said energy was a key topic
on the agenda,

Clark has been talking
with Alberta and with the
provinces since mid-summer
on the oil price question.

Current policy calls for an-
nual increases of about $2 a
barrel annually, or about
three to five cents on a gallon
of heating all and gasoline.
Clark is reported to want to
Increase that to about #4 a
year while Lougheed is
holding out for more,

But the key isaue of dia-
agreement is the Clark
proposal to take half of any
increases in revenue above
$2 a barrel in a so-called
energy self-suffiency tax.

‘Clark wants to spend the
new tax revenue in other
parts of the country on such
things as conservation,

«national energy projects and
-help to regions and in-
dividuals most adversely af-
fected by higher prices.

Dirty joke “accidental”

MONTREAL (CP)
Cartoonist Terry Mosher
says an offensive drawing
that caused McClelland and
Stewart to recall 1,500 copies
of The Hecklers, a newly-
released compendium of
Canadian polltical cartdons,
was a joke that got into the
book accidentally.

Mosher, who goes by the
pen name of Aislin, said
Wednesday the cartoon
depicts a amall, terrified
frog and a large vibrator
marked “Souvenir of Ot-
tawa."" It was‘ meant to
illustrate relations between
Quebec and the federal
government,

In issulng the recall order,
publisher Jack MeClelland
sald he felt the cartoon could
offend a lot of English-
speaking people.

“IT agree with Jack Mc-
Clelland 100 per cent,’’
Mosher said. "It was an ob-
scene drawing."

Mosher, co-author of the
book along with journalist
Peter Desbarats, said the
whole thing was a joke that
began last spring when he
doodled the cartoon while
Boing over the book with a
representative of the
publisher.

Federal layoffs possible

OTTAWA (CP) -- The
federal government will lay
off workers if it has to in
order to reach its staff
reduction goal of 60,000, a
group of public service
personnel managers were
told Wednesday.’

Jack Manion, secretary of
the treasury board — which
controls the federa) payroll
— told the meeting:

“We'll be intensifying our
efforts to lay off incompetent
employees, And we wilt lay
off those wha refuse to go to
the private sector if the
terms and conditions of the
jobs remain comparable ta
what they were."’

He was referring to em-

ployees of Crown cor-
porations sold to or other-
wise turned into private
operations. As long as the
terms of the new job in the
private sector compared
favorably with the old job in
the government service,
employees would not be
allowed to choose to go to the
new company or move into a
new position within the
federal service,

But, Manion said, a
method would have to be
worked out to ensure that
workers ‘staying with an
organization switching to the
private sector would not lose
the pension rights accumu-
lated during their time as
public servants.

New chemical dangerous

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP)
~— What sounds Ilke the
makings of a‘new sclence
fiction film — a chemical
five times more dangerous
than radiation in causing
mutations -— appears to be
fact, scientists say, :

Scientists say they hav.
found the chemical and it is
15 times more potent than

‘any previously known

chemical in causing genetic
mutatlons.

Dr. William Russell, a’
" geneticist at Oak Ridge

Natlonal Laboratory, said
the mutagenic potency of the
laboratory-produced

chemical] has been proven so

far only in mice,

The chemical is ethylnitro-
sourea, a simple

pound called ENU for short.
Though produced In a
laboratory, its reaction with
the human Genetic
mechanism, DNA, may be
identical with closely related
chemteals occurring In the
environment. Russell gaid,

Russell said the findings,
published this week by the
Natlonal Academy of
Sciences, have farreaching
implications concerning the
effects that chemicals in the
environment may have on
humans,
