A4-Wednesday, May 14, 1980 - North Shore News world outside... LONDON (UPD) - British labor union leaders Tuesday called on 12 million workers to plunge the country into a 24-hour near general _ strike Wednesday to _ protest Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's economic policies. But there were strong doubts how far the call would be heeded. An opinion poll conducted by Marplan for the British Broad- casting Corp. reported 73 per cent of workers opposed the shutdown OTTAWA (UPC) - Quebecers’ will over- whelmingly vote to stay in Canada in the May 20 referendum but they will opt out of Canada in later referendums if the constitution is not changed, Conservative leader Joe Clark said Monday. “In my view, the forces led by Mr. (Quebec Liberal leader Claude Ryan) will win and a majority of Quebecers will vote ‘no’ on May 20,” Clark told more than 800 BELFAST, Northern Ire- land (UPI) - The Irish Republican Army kid- Dapped a man and executed him Tuesday because he told British troops about an ambush waiting for them, an IRA spokesman said.

The Trades Congress, which represents 12 million workers, decided months ago to order the walkout to protest the Thatcher government's economic pokcies. She says there would be no change in govern- ment economic policies and described the 24- hour shutdown as ‘job destroying folly — not only antisocial but futile.” Union Quebec will vote ‘no’, Clark says ata meeting of the Rotary Service Club. However, that doesn't mean Quebecers are voting for the status quo. “After 113 years the constitution doesn't fit perfect and it needs to be changed,” said Clark. “We didn't need a referendum to show us the constitution needs changes... it is just another step in the constitutional debate — but it does add force to the argument.” Clark said. IRA kidnap and execute informer for it booby trapped. An IRA spokesman told UPI by telephone that the body was that of Anthony Shields of Crossmagien.

Both previous govern- ments, the report comments, had prepared a bill to bring in such regulations, but each bill had died on the order paper when the government was dissolved. This legislation, it declares, “is long overdue and should do more to reduce the nmsks ... than any other single measure.” Aside from the effect of a “very improbable” major earthquake, the report finds that maintenance and safety training at the Hooker plant “are generally sound as indicated by 23 years of operation without public hazard.” But it calls on Hooker to beef up its safety precautions sull further with added safety equipment, safety inspections and maintenance, together with early warning and emergency planning in the Maplewood area. The report commends the planning already being undertaken by North Shore communities to control a physical disaster at the site and to deai with casualties. But it is less happy about steps so far to solve the problems of early warning for residents; their education as to appropriate acuion they should take; and the evacuation of “signifi- cant numbers of people.” The report concludes by listing a number of options to be considered by the Community Hazards Task Force recently set up by North Vancouver District council and adds _ certain specific recommendations. The latter include action by the municipality to: ¢ Examine the nsks posed by all types of hazardous in- dustry. ¢ Ensure that the technical recommendations of the Beak Report are carned out. * Resolve the problem of alerting and educating residents. © Exercise strict control over all level crossings from the viewpoint of road _ traffic visibility and the condition of the trackage and roadbed.
