Arturo R. Espaillat, who al- ready faces a federal order to leave the country by Oct. 18 or be forcibly deported, was ar- rested Wednesday on the street and charged with having an un- registered revolver in his resi- dnce. He could draw a fine or a maximum two-year jail term. The arrest came just a few hours after the news broke that Espaillat, 40, had. been living quietly in Ottawa for 10 months and spent most of that time fighting deportation. He posted $50 bail and then called a. press conference in is lawyer's office Wednesday night to make a scathing attack on the United States in which he accused American agents of plotting the assassination of Tru- jillo on May of 1961. tt also accused the Americans of chasing him from the Caribbean, pressuring the Canadian government to expel him and even of tipping city police that he had an unregis- tered firearm in his apartment here. He issued an 800-word written statement which listed the al- leged U.S. persecutions against him and told reporters flatly that U.S. agents will kill him if they get a chance, Espaillat got word Tuesday that the immigration appeal board's rejection of his bid to stay in the country had been reviewed and upheld. He was told he had 30 days in which to find another country which will take him. Lawyer Jean-Charles Sirois Technicians Fly To Florida Site NORTH BAY (CP)--Thirty- one officers and technicians from the Bomarc-B surface to air squadron missile launching station Wednesday flew to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, site of the United States Air Force Bomare missile test and launch- ing headquarters. For the next two weeks the men will undergo proficiency tests on the assembly and checkout of a Bomare missile. The squadron, headed by Wing Omdr. A. G. Lawrence, will launch its missile against a drone "enemy" aircraft un- der live conditions. It will be the first firing by an RCAF unit since Canada's first launching site at North Bay was handed over to the air force in February this year. said he has taken Espaillat's ap- peal to Immigration Minister Richard Bell in a last-ditch at- tempt to win a reversal of the order. Earlier in the day Mr. Bell told reporters that it was his view that Espaillat is in Can- ada illegally. Among the other things Es- paillat denied Wednesday night was a report that he brought a fortune with him to Canada and is a millionaire. 'Knock zeros off that," he replied to reporters. Espaillat and his family have been living in an apartment block in the wealthy Rockcliffe Park area and have taken fre- Pleases By THE CANADIAN PRESS Premier Jean Lesage's deci- sion to hold a snap election Nov. 14 in Quebec on the issue of expropriating private power companies resulted -in opposi- tion reaction ranging from con- fidence to indecision. Daniel Johnson, leader of the Union Nationale opposition, said the announcement was '"'the best news the province has had for two years." H esaid his party is "ready for an election now and ready to govern." But he said the expropriation issue is just one of a number and the government was using it as "'a pretext to hide its fail- ure." Mr. Johnson twice told a Quebec City press conference that "'a vote against the Lesage government cannot be a vote against expropriation." The Union Nationale was not committed on public power ownership. But Mr. Johnson said he will issue a statement on the issue after consulting his II at a to be held Friday and Saturday in Matane, Que. WILL HIT TAXES However, he indicated the Un- ion Nationale will concentrate on "the increase in taxes dur- ing the Lesage administration" and will attack the Liberal plan to revise the electoral map by taking away seats from rural areas and giving them to Mont- real, Shawinigan Water and Power Company, Canada's largest pri- vately-owned power company, said in Montreal the election announcement on the expropria- tion issue "came as a great sur- prise." President J. A. Fuller said in a statement the company felt the support it received in the province would "have resulted in a decision permitting the companies to continue their strong contribution to the eco- nomic development of Quebec." The election announcement resulted in unusually heavy trading of Shawinigan shares on the Montreal and Canadian stock exchanges. The value of the stock fell 36 cents to $25.12 while 38,460 shares changed hands, The stock value of another power company to be affected by possible expropriation, Que- bec Power, lost 50 cents to $31.50 in lighter trading. Specu- lation that the provincial gov- ernment would announce an im- Quebec Election Plan) Opposition mediate take - over previously edged Shawinigan shares higher in the last week. ROLES UNCLEAR Two smaller political parties --Social Credit and the New Democratic Party -- were not clear on what roles they will play in the provincial election. Raoul Caouette, Quebec leader of the Social Credit party, said his party will not participate officially in the elec- tion. However, he said he might publicly oppose expropriation, Party members, he said, are free to work for any political party, NDP Provincial Leader Ro- meo Mathieu said the election announcement caught the party by surprise. The - provincial NDP was scheduled to hold its provincial founding convention next spring. However, Mr. Mathieu said the government had no reason to go to the people on the issue of public power "because the majority of the people have al- ready shown themselves to be in favor of this move." In Washington, Justice Minis- ter Donald Fleming said the Quebec government's desire to expropriate private power won't help attract foreign capital to Canada. Fleming said such a move may leave foreign inves- tors with a feeling of insecurity about long - term investment prospects in Canada. Taking time out from Mone- tary Fund talks, the former fi- nance minister said he would hope that in matters where provinces have _ sovereignty, they would take into considera- tion the impact of their deci- sions on the broader require- ments of the Canadian econ- omy. Lesage Power Plans Praised By GUY RONDEAU QUEBEC (CP) -- Premier Lesage Wednesday described his government's plan to expro- priate 11 privately-owned power companies as '"'the most import- ant and the~most forceful eco- nomic measure ever to be intro duced in Quebec." Supporters of the proposal feel that it represents an im- portant step in what is some- times referred to as the fight for economic emancipation of the province's 4,000,000 French- Canadians. Public ownership of power re- sources is not a new issue in the province, which has the largest hydro-electric potential of any in the country. The ques- tion has been discussed for more than 30 years. It is felt that public owner- ship of all power resources will permit a better balanced eco- nomic development. This is con- sidered the main reason why public support is being sought by the government, which has carried out revolutionary proj- ects in other fields since it took office in 1960, RATES VARY While there is an abundance of electricity in the province, some feel that its distribution is quent trips to a Quebec holiday resort. Mrs. Espaillat, who is not af- fected by the deportation order, said Wednesday night that she wants to stay in Canada until the end of the current: school year. Her sons Arturo Jose, 11, and Rafael Alberto, 8, attend Ashbury College, an exclusive private boys' school in east-end Rockcliffe Park village. Daugh- ter Rita, 13, is at a private girls' school in Rockcliffe. Last June 13 Espaillat got his first notice to leave Canada within 30 days. He sought a spe- cial inquiry and in July this in- quiry rejected him. In August he went before the immigration appeal board which issued a de- cision Sept. 11 rejecting his ap- peal.

The opening of the 17th Gen- was considered light in com- parison with previous sessions which opened an hour or more iate, Muhammad Zafrulla Khan of president of the 17th assembly, was explicit on the subject at his first press conference when he ranked punctuality with dig- nity in proceedings at UN meet- ings. MICE PLAY The problem seems to be par- ticularly acute when political leaders are absent from the as- sembly and things are left to professional diplomats, who en- unciate policies but do not make them. Soviet Foreign Minister An- drei Gromyko was the ranking major-power representative at the assembly opening although there were some 40 other for- ign ministers from smaller countries. One UN source dragged up the old turkey about "'when the cat's away the mice will play" to describe the attitude of dip- lomats when the political pol- icy-makers are not around to apply pressure. The standard reply to queries about tardiness is that much UN business is done informally, off the assembly floor, and that promptness in arriving at meet- ifigs doesn't necessarily mean anything. An explanation that is at least equally valid is that many small countries -- some UN countries have smaller popula- tions than Montreal or Toronto --just haven't enough people to go around and can't always be present for "meetings. SESSIONS DRAG ON Zafrulla Khan's comment was in the nature of a followup to recommendations by his prede- cessor, Mongi Slim of Tunisia, that assembly meetings begin on the first Tuesday of Septem- |Montreal .....

For the 16th assembly, there was not one but two resumed sessions after Christmas, and they dragged onto March in a lethargic way. Delegates were frequently an hour or more late for meetings although they protested in speeches that mat- ters on the agenda -- such as colonialism in Southern Rho- desia -- were so: crucial that global war might erupt without their priority attention. The big so-called glass hoyse on New York's East River has been used countless times by politicians whose aim is to en- hance their prestige at home rather than do anything con- structive for world problems. Slim proposed -- and observ- ers have chimed in with a de- vout amen --that the formal speeches in general debate, now opening, be accompanied by working sessions in commit- Otherwise the UN once again will spend three or four weeks listening exclusively to addresses by national leaders on every subject under the sun. Sometimes the length of the speech -- two hours is not un- usual -- is in inverse propor- tion to the importance of the country making the speech. Drug Trafficking Sentence Awaited HAMILTON, Ont. (CP)--Two Buffalo men were remanded in custody Wednesday for sentenc- ing until Oct. 5 after an all- male jury found them guilty of possessing heroin for traffick- ing. RCMP Sergeant Kelly \La- brash said the heroin was wth $60,000 when peddled to addicts. The two men, Michael Tas- carella, 41, and Joseph Augello, 35, were found guilty Tuesday night of possessing the drug. After further evidence by Sgt. Labrash, the jury returned the guilty of trafficking verdict. SHORGAS HEATING & APPLIANCES Industrial and _ Commercial The established, reliable Gas Dealer in your area. 31 CELINA ST.

Both areas are econo- mically weak and the shortage of power is generally given as the main cause, Supporters of expropriation mention that Shawinigan Water and Power Company, the larg- est of the 11 the government plans to take over, now pays $9,000,000 a year in taxes to the federal government. This amount would remain in Que- bec following expropriation, they say, because publicly- owned enterprises are exempt from federal taxes. Looking ahead to the election campaign, som observers are predicting that opponents of the government will not fight on the expropriation issue, but will hit at the government on other points. OPPOSES PLAN A question that is being raised concerns the role of private en- terprise in the campaign. Pri- vate enterprise generally has indicated it is solidly opposed to expropriation. In Quebec it is felt a major battle is looming. In a recent speech, Premier Lesage said that every time a government wishes to change somtthing, certain -- influences started a move to try and stop "And almost always these in- fluences had the upper hand, because we yielded or because we were afraid," said Mr. Le- sage. The question now is being asked whether the unnamed in- fluences mentioned by Mr. Le- sage will be powerful enough to stop the government which in his words is seeking a decisive mandate to expropriate the power companies.

The commission's charge of inefficiency and condemnation of out-of-date methods aroused no anger. The five - man commission, headed. by Lord Shawcross, judged that the production of national newspapers in London is 'seriously inefficient, mainly through overmanning, diminish- ing productivity, and the prolif- eration of special conditions and extra payments for work that is not, in fact, outside the scope of normal employment." Urging management and un- ions to set up better machinery for consultation and negotiation, the commission recommended a joint standing body to deal with long-term problems, SHOCK REPORT' The Evening Standard called it a "'shock report"? which would cause much heart-searching in Fleet Street. Holding that in the main the reform. of the industry is not a public matter, the newspa- per's editorial said: "If the in- dications are that concentration of ownership and control result from the economic difficulties of the individual newspers, then OAKVILLE, Ont, (CP)--The bodies of an Oakville couple were recovered from Lake On- tario Wednesday 24 hours after the couplé set out for a _two- hour sail in their new 16-foot boat. Donald Kitchen, 35, and his wife Gwen, 33, parents of two small children, were reported missing Tuesday night when they did not return from an out- ing begun in the morning. An RCAF Albatross search aircraft from Trenton potted the over-turned craft Wednes- day, about 23 miles east of Hamilton off Grimsby Beach, across the western end of the lake from this town 20 miles west of Toronto. An ROMP search boat, di- rected by the airplane, located the capsized sailboat. Mrs. Kit- chen's body was found floating nearby, supported by a life jacket. ' Mr. Kitchen's body was found nearly two hours later and brought here for identification by volunteer searchers aboard the Ebb Tide. Police believe the couple were caught in a 30 to 40-mile-an- hour squall. Mr. Kitchen was manager of procurement with Ford of Can- ada here. Conviction In Baby Sale Rescinded TIMMINS (CP) -- Magistrate W. S.

Police had charged Mrs. Tub- man had sold the child to Mr. and Mrs. Skolsky for $300 in September, 1961. Magistrate Gardner upheld a motion by lawyer Gregory Evans, Mrs. Skolsky, that the charges were improperly laid. counsel for Mr. and Mr, Evans said that under Section 693 of the Summary Convictions Act a charge must be laid within six months of the date of the offence. He said police did not lay charges until 11 months after the baby was sold.

Challenging the commission's recommendation for a press amalgamations court came would decide whether further big newspaper mergers should be allowed, Ridd said disclosure of the fact that a sale is being contemplated might confound even the best intentions to save a publication from extinction.

He also favored the proposal for the inclusion of lay members on the Press Council, Picket Of Home Ruled Illegal TORONTO (CP)--Magistrate ' person's home is against the aw. It is believed this if the first such ruling in Canada. The de- cision will be appealed. About 50 charges of watching and besetting were laid against striking employees o fthe A. R. Clarke and Company Limited tannery, alleged to have pick- eted homes of non - striking workers and company officials. Six persons have been con- victed and fined $50 with the al- ternative of 15 days' imprison- ment. In the first of the three cases, Walter Kopko, woke him up by ringing the doorbell, and asked him not to go to work. PLANS APPEAL pickets went to the home of|da jindividual's privacy to enjoy his own home," he said. Mr Ko.pko testified that two groups of pickets came to his house early on the mornings of July 17 and 18 and woke him up by ringing the doorbell. They told him not to go to work and asked him to join the union. M. J. Brierley, full-time rep- resentative of the Amalgwmated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America (CLC), was convicted of pick- eting on both days. Mr. Brierley and Patrick Don- nely, 27, were. convicted on the same charge for peacefully pac- ing the sidewalk outside the house for an hour the following 'y. 3 Mr. Brierley was fined for the first offence and received sus- pended sentences on the other two convictions. Defence counsel David Lewis, New Democratic Party member of Parliament for York South, said he intends to appeal the ruling. Mr. Lewis said the rul- ing violates freedom of speech and the right to picket in labor disputes. The magistrate said the pick- eting was done in such a way as to inform Kopko's neighbors in a public manner what. his private views were on a partic- ular subject -- in this case a Strike at his place of work.
