‘hysterical’

OTTAWA — Major
newspaper publishers and
owners have been “shrill,
irrational and hysterical”
in their condemnation of

the “new and fresh” Kent

commission on the
newspaper industry,
commissioner Borden
Spears said Friday.

“I certainly expected
uewspaper publishers
would at § first not
welcome the _ report
which has new and fresh
recommendations,” said
Spears who along with
Commission Chairman
Tom Kent and com-
missioner Laurent Picard
released the $3.1 million

report Tuesday.

“I did not expect the
shrill, irrational and
hysterical reaction from
responsible publhshers. I
thought it would be
somewhat more reasoned
and rational.”

Thomson Newspapers
Ltd. chairman Kenneth
Thomson called the
report “blatantly biased”
and “dangerous” and
vowed he would fight any
major implementation of
the recommendations in
court on the grounds they
are unconstitutional.

Southam Inc. President
Gordon Fisher said the
report was impractical
and drastic.

U.S. ‘terrorism’

BEIRUT, Lebanon -
Libya warmed the United
States Friday against
“premeditated terrorism”
and said it will “cut off
the head” of anyone who
plots against it.

A strongly worded
commentary by Libya's
Jamahiriya news agency
said president Reagan
personally ordered
Tuesday's air attack
against two Libyan jet
fighters in the Gulf of
Sidra.

It said Reagan's

remarks on the incident
were “proof of American

aggression against
Libya”.
Reagan Wednesday

said “we responded as we
would respond anywhere.
When our forces are
attacked, they're going to
defend themselves.”

The Jamahiriya
commentary accused the
United States of aiming to
undermine Libyan
sovereignty, but said any
such attempt will be
forcefully confronted.
