Tuesday July 20 1976 Trudeau was right on Talwan lssue The Olympics are finally open The doomsayers who populate this country were sure Canada would get bad press at the start of the Olympics And they were right Canada did From the likes of The New York Times The Wall Street Journal and one or two of the English pennydreadfuls But it was Trudeau who caught the bad press not Drapeau as everyone expected Taiwan that wellknown bastion of freedom wished to enter the games as the Republic of China No way said the federal govern ment in rare display of instant recognition of reality Taiwan is not the Republic of China China What is usual is recognized by the Canadian govern ment as the Republic of China Terrible hissed the au Times suggesting US athletes get out of the games It was nineday wonder and it made for some nice editorials called Red and Re China gust NY But for once Trudeau was right Professional redbatters and fin dersofCommies in every closet wont agree It isnt The issue was not whether Taiwan could take part in the games the issue was whether Taiwan is the Republic of China or not And to castigate Canada for recognizing reality is little well unreal Guerrillas hoodlums threaten democracy By STEWART RUSSELL BOGOTA Renter Co lombias imperfect brand of de mocracy is being buffeted on all sides by forces ranging from Marxist guerrillas to gangsters Guerrillas are increasingly active in mountain and jungle areas north and southwest of Bogota Newspaper men who know these areas say the left ists control several small towns either by influence or physical presence Meanwhile gangsters defending lucrative drugand emeraldsmuggling rackets wage an undercover but perhaps even more damgerous campaign they were busy behind the scenes during local elections in April running can didates in town councils and provincial legislatures Of the 10million registered voters in those elections only 22 cent bothered to cast tteir allots Such apathy is exploited by the gangsters as well as some traditional politicians Given the low turnout in the April elections manipulation of some results by threats or lpay ment would not have been if cult The turnout becomes more significant when it is projected downward to suggest the num ber of people rticipating in an election in sort of small town which interests the ang sters town in diamon pro ducing or coastal area or one which is close to an obscure air strip BOYCOTTED BY LEFT The leftwing guerrillas bear part of the responsibiliï¬ for the small voter turnout ey and their supporters urged boycott as sign of contempt for the system under which the traditional parties have helped one another to power and have constitutional agreement un der which they share non elective posts Manuel Bayona physician who is president of the National Opposition Union an alliance of Pa Moscowline Communists and dissident leftwing elements sees kind of victory in the hi abstention rate says his movement has no connection with the guerrillas Ours is legal democratic organization he said in an in terview We believe in the electoral way to wer But we do not condemn guerrillas He said the various groups in towns and in the countryside can be traced directly back to the liberalconservative civil war ofthe 19505 when hundreds of armed bands roamed the country But they have changed since those days becoming more Marxistoriented and ideolo callv defined whether they admirers of Fidel Castro Mos cowline communism or Chair man Mao Dr Bayona said Nobody kills for the liberals or the conservatives these days The country is becoming polarized on class lines Nobody seriously expects the guerrillas to try to come mar ching down from the mountains in the near future Not even the guerrillas want another civil war the last one took an estimated 3000001ives But in the southern city of Cali wellinformed journalist said guerrilla columns roam freely in threeneighboring de rtments and that their urban infrastructure is extremely wellorganized Another journalist Heman Unas of the Bogota daily El Es pectador reported The guerrilla domain has been expanding slowly but pro gressively in urban centres and the countryside to reach the sit uation in which various munici palities are directly under the control of extremist elements For many years the army has been clamoring for some in dications of

Chief executives of major Philippine firms complained last November that the greater government control over busi ness the greater will be the power of bureaucrats over busi ness This tends to result

by themselves says Harry Keeney Mr Keeney retired police lieutenant said he and other Ontario locksmiths are trying to change all that Banding to ether about four years ago to orm quasipro fessional association the locksmiths are pushing for more closely defined standards to govern their trade They are devising the first ap prenticeship rogram to enable wouldbe miths to learn their skills at recognized shops At present locksmiths dont need licence to begin prac tising their trade Mr Keeney said Almost anyone can be come locksmith by taking few conespondence courses or working in store that only deals peripherally in locks Consequently the ublic sometimes viewed mem rs of the trade with distrust to the point that they shied away from usingalocksmith Mr Keeney agreed that this is sometimes for good reason its deadly information he says WEED OUT UNDESIRABLES But while the Association of Ontario Locksmiths represent ing almost onethird of all those in Ontario cannot vouch for the integrity of all their colleagues it said all locksmiths should not be downgraded if one of them had abused his knowledge Locksmiths in the main havebeenfair and honest with the public said Leonard Passarello association direc tor He said one positive result of the mgrenticedup system is that association can begin weeding out some of the less histworthycandidates Were try to set up the scheme in way that while the man is with you you canscneaihim But locksmiths dont heap all the blame for their sometimes secondclass professional status on the public Locksmiths have done the lousiest job of any industry in the world to let the public know why they are here and what they do Mr Keeney said An expert locksmith can copy key just by looking at itthey dont need to keep the original They are cialists in alarms as well as ocks can assemble and manufacture locks and can assist police in determining how particular burglaries have beencommitted But at present locksmiths main interest is all aspects of home security Mr Keeney said Its time that the people lawenforcement agencies and the government stop viewing locksmiths as tainted with sole object of profit Mr Pas sarello said Alberta cracks down on boom in gambling EDMONTON CP Gam bling is big business in Al berta$50 million in l975and AttorneyGeneral Jim Foster is concerned that the money will attract organized crime

establishment of new gam bling control branch headed by former RCMP gambling ex pert The branch keeps track of non rofit organizations licen sed by the government to hold lotteries casinos hinges and games of chance And at the beginning of May Mr Foster announced new series of regulations governing the provinces burgeoning ca sino operations the purpose of the regulations was to make games in casinos somewhat more fair The regulations restrict goo graphical areas such as Ed monton to one casino at time and each organization is limited to sin twoday casino each year asinos run ning longer

also introduced rule changes for blackjack ames such as elimination of idden hole cards intended to make it more difficult to cheat The attorneygeneral has omised further ations or other types of gambling operations but casinos were his first concern Ron Sheppard head of the gambling control branch said applications for bingos and lot teries are decreasing but casino applications are
