rest at the bottom of the sea and be home for fish Leave the ignition key in her and hope that thief steals her Set fire to her sink her and collect $30 million insurance Sell her to the Sheik of Ku wait Turn her into mauseoleum with optional burial at sea Let her become gambling ship These suggestions some of them made flippantly by news paper columnists others ear nestly by Long Beach citizens reflect the frustration this city feels after decade of trying to stem huge losses from the tourist attraction On Dec 1967 the onetime flagship of the Cunard Steam Ship Line sailed into Long Beach harbor to welcome from cheering crowds blaring foghorns and hundreds of sail ing ships WELCOME WENT SOUR But over decade as the ship was beset with conversion problems and then failed to be the tourist attraction city offi cials had predicted the wel come gradually went sour The liner was bought for $34 million to be the centrepiece of conversion and beautification plan for the seafront of Long Beach The port city was trying to establish its identity and emerge from the shadow of Los Angeles Five million dollars was budgeted for converting it into hotel museum and tourist at traction But $63 million was needed to complete the job The liner was supposed to draw three million paying vis itors year but only 14 million turned up the first year Last year the number shrank to 450000 In its first full year of oper ation the Queen lost $1 million By last year the loss had risen to $2 million TAXPAYERS UNSCATHEI The taxpayers have not yet felt the impact of these losses So far they have been cov ered by special royalties fund from the drilling of oil in the Long Beach coastal area However in the 19808 the oil money will begin to run out If the Queen continues to lose at its present rate the losses will then have to be paid from taxes To avoid this happening plan has been put forward to transfer managerial responsi bility for the Queen to the Port of Long Beach Authority highly profitable city depart ment Lee Sellers assistant general manager of the authority says the port would probably be agreeable provided it can be done legally Asked if he thought the port would be able to stem the losses he said We have pretty good track record Last year the port had budget surplus of about $10 mil lion The suggestion comes at time when there is slight im provement in the ships fora tunes Experts on marketing were brought in early this year and attendance began to rise Long Beach Councilman Wal lace Edgerton says hope it does turn around because the Queen is symbol of Long Beach and it would be tragic to have to scrap it Women victims they claim TORONTO ICP mem ber of the Committee Against the Deportation of Immigrant Women says Canadian immi gration officials are trying to find minor irregularities to al low them to deport black women who came from the Ca ribbean to work as domestics Sherona Hall told news con ference Monday the women are victims of current economic problems and the immigration departments desire to set tough example She said at least 20 women are awaiting deportation mostly because they did not say they had children when they ap plied to come to Canada Mark Wamberg lawyer representing Jamaican woman facing deportation said about 75 per cent of children in Jamaica are born out of wed lock Jamaican labor depart ment officials told many women not to mention their children he said and Canadian authorities accepted applicants passed on by the Jamaican government Ron Bull public affairs offi cial for the Ontario region of the immigration department said there is no scheme to de port the women Anyone who comes to Can ada by providing false or mis leading information is subject to deportation said Bull It has nothing to do with the econ omy here It has strictly to do with the Immigration Act He said the department has unit which seeks out persons who have entered Canada ille gally and most are discovered when complaint is lodged
