Tourists spending
more in Canada

OTTAWA (UPC) -
Foreign tourists spent more
than $1.1 bilhon in Canada
during the first six months of
1980, an increase of 14.7 per
cent over the previous year,
Statistics Canada reported
Monday.

However, spending by
Canadians travelling abroad
also increased, by almost 10
per cent, to a total of $2.3
billion.

IN CENTRAL PARK

This left Canada with a
travel deficit of $1.182
bilhon for the first half of the
year - up $62 million over the
same period in 1979.

Spending by foreigners
other than Americans
contributed to the improved
travel picture, the federal
agency said. Altogether,
non-U.S. residents spent
$329 million in the first six
months, compared to $274
million last year.

Crowd watches

brutal slaying

NEW YORK (UPI) - At
least 30 people watched a
vagrant beaten and stabbed
to death in a mid-morning
attack in Central Park but no
one went to the victim's aid.

The slaying Sunday, which
occurred shortly before 9
a.m., was reminiscent of the
Kitty Genovese case that
drew national attention two
decades ago as an example
of urban indifference.

“Nobody came near,” said
Transit Authonty Polhce
Officer Charles Irving.

“I can half understand it -
it was so awful they had to be
frightened. But there's
strength m numbers. They
could have thrown a rock or
something.”

“They did nothing to stop
it.”

Irving said 30 to 40 people
were standing along Central
Park West about 90 feet
away from where a man
identfied as Jimmy Lee
Jones attacked another man
who had been sleeping on a
rock in the park, beating him
with a wire litter basket.

Jones then took a piece of
wire from his pocket and
tried to sever the victim's
head. Irving = said.

The assailant tned to
decapitate his victim while
the crowd watched, Irving
said.

“It’s the worst thing I've
seen in 12 years on the job,”
he said.

“There was blood running
off the rocks, across the
grass and into the bushes.”

Irving was on duty at a
nearby subway station when
he was called by several
women who had seen the
attack. “Three or four gave
us statements,” he said. “But
that’s three or four out of
40."

When Irving reached the
scene, the victim was lying
face down in a pool of blood
and Jones was kneeling over
him, the officer said.

Jones was arrested.

The scene was reminiscent

of the 1963 slaying of a
Queens barmaid, Kitty
Genovese. In that case

three dozen people testified
they heard Miss Genovese’s
screams or saw her being
stabbed to death, yet they all
fanled to make any attempt
to rescue her

That case has long been
held up as an example of
urban indifference to the
phght) of people who are
victims of cnmes
