But Mr. Bertrand added that the government will not wait until the situation is "com- pletely deteriorated' before tak- ing action. Up to now, the two unions in- volved in the strike and the Montreal Catholic Schoo] Com- mission still were in negotiation as far as the government was concerned. The strike of elementary and high school teachers began Fri- day and closed down almost 500 schools attended by 217,000 youngsters. The teachers walked out after bargaining, which has been go- ling on since last June, failed to produce a new contract. They want higher salaries and im- provements in working condi- tions. International Police Work Cracks Drug-Running Ring SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) Police and customs officials in Sydney, Washington and Lon- don today claimed to have smashed an international multi- million dollar dope - smuggling ring by raids here and in the United States. Six men and a woman were held in dawn raids today on 12 Sydney homes. Police seized documents and printing equipment and charged two of the men with presenting forged passports. The Sydney arrests were linked with police action in the U.S. this week, where eight per- sons were arrested in Miami, Honolulu and New York. Blast Kills Israeli Boy TEL AVIV (Reuters) -- A mine exploded today during a soccer match at the village of Dishon, near the Lebanese bor- der, killing one Israeli youth and injuring two others. During a match between the home team, Hapoel Dishon, and Maccabi Rosh Pina a spectator stepped on the anti-personnel mine and was killed. Israeli Army sources said the explosion bore the marks of an attack by Syrian saboteurs en- tering Israel over the Lebanese frontier, about two miles from Dishon. The sources said the anti-per- sonnel] mine which exploded this morning was made in East Eu- rope. Special features this week include: City Hockey Clinic Tutors Small-Fry National Ballet To Return To Oshawa Three of them, former -Aus- tralian policemen James Wesley Egan, 29, Bryan John Hill, 32 and Roy Lawrence Peake, 24, have been charged with smug- gling millions of dollars worth of heroin into the U.S. WAS 'MILK RUN' The international operation was described by U.S. authori- ties as a "regular milk run" on which couriers concealed heroin in corsets they wore. U.S. Attorney Robert Morgen- thau said the ring bought heroin from a Chinese source in Hong Kong at $1,600 a kilogram and sald it to wholesalers in New York at $1,000 an ounce, or about $34,000 a kilogram. A kilo- gram equals 2.2 pounds. Morgenthau said the Austral- ian ring members smuggled the heroin into the U.S. in small quantities. He said they used fraudulent passports and made frequent trips. The arrests were the climax of a year-long investigation by U.S., Australian and British au- thorities into an alleged nar- cotic ring headquartered in Syd- ney. An Australian officer said U.S. government investigators claimed the ring had shipped at least $5,000,000 worth of heroin into the U.S. during the past year. BRITISH HELP Some of the smugglers flew to London on their way to New York and British customs had co-operated with U.S. authori- ties, he added. Officials in Sydney said the narcotics were obtained in ports such as Hong Kong and Singa- pore and brought to Sydney for worldwide distribution, The Times Wethe Also in the Showéase you'll find: On The Town Garden Guide Showtime at the Movies Teen Scene Television Hig Home of the ghts feek.

GIVES WARNING - | Aime Nault, president of the/ French-language |'Alliance des professeurs catholiques de Montreal, warned that the 7,500 members of his union as well as the 1,500 English-speaking in- structors would consider it un- fair if the province decided to seek an injunction as the means of intervention. The only reason for an in- junction would be a jeopardiz- ing of the students' education, Mr. Nault told a Friday strike rally. Only a "very. long strike" could end the 1 | process, so that an injunction now would be unjustified. Suport for the strikers was come from a variety of sources --including spokesmen for the Socialist Party of Quebec and the separatist Rassemblement pour l'independance nationale. About 6,200 Protestant teach- ers in the Montreal area are not affected by the strike. In Quebec, schools are organized along religious lines. The English - language union involved in the strike and bar- gaining along with the alliance is called the Federation of Eng- lish-speaking Catholic Teachers. TALKS MAY GO ON Negotiators have said that talks could go on during the weekend. Federation President Philip Shore said Friday the teachers are determined to stay out '"'un- til a settlement is reached." With parents on all sides ex- pressing anxiety about the situ- ation, Mr. Shore found it im- possible to forecast how long the strike might last. Many areas of dispute: still remained to be resolved and "we will go to arbitration on the minor points if the major differences are first settled between ourselves and the com- mission." There have been forecasts that the Montreal stoppage could be the first of a series across the province. US. Tourist Freed On Bail MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Buel Ray Wortham, young American tourist given a three-year sen- tence on currency and theft charges, was freed on bail to- day from a Leningrad prison.
