The $736,700,000 forecast of pension outlays in the coming year was made by Health Minister Mon- teith last week during debate on the proposed $10 pension boost.

Autos Wreckage Spread 200 Feet TORONTO (CP) -- Police are questioning a Toronto truck driver about a "fantastic" ex- plosion that killed city works employee Walter Yetman today and blew parts of his car 200 feet away. Yetman, 35, a garbage incin- erator crane operator, died when a bomb in his car ex- ploded: as he was leaving for work. Police said they have been unable to establish how many sticks of dynamite were used to blow up the car and said they did not know whether the charge was wired to the ignition or the steering column. "It would only be guess work," an officer said. "'There's not much left of the car." Mr. Yetman, father of six children, was leaving for work about 6:30 a.m. when the car parked opposite his west-end home exploded. Police said windows in five homes were smashed by the blast which. hurled the car's en- gine hood 25 feet into a tree. A spring was hurled through the window of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Walsh, who live next to the Yetmans on Brock Ave. Parts of the car were scat- tered 200° feet and' windows were smashed along an enitre block. Thomas Hancock, who worked with Mr, Yetman at a city in- cinerator, said the Yetmans came to Toronto from New- foundland about seven years ago. He had worked on the same job since.

Bill Yetman, 33, brother of the dead man, said: "T got lots of ideas about that (the bomb) but I can't say right now." Police have established no mo- tive for the bombing Insp. William Culver of the Metropolitan Toronto Police bomb squad said the blast caused "the most fantastic aft- ermath of an explosion I've seen." Mr. Hancock said Mr. Yet- man was "'a nice quiet guy who never bothered anyone." Walter Cain, who also worked with Mr. Yetman, said he was a "popular and willing worker, ig had no enemies that I know of." Tnspt. Culver said parts of the car were blown over the top of a nearby three-storey building, and that the chassis of the car was the only part left intact. An entire fender landed 90 feet from where the car had been parked. Mr, Walsh told police he had just started to go into his living room when he saw the window shatter and fall in. "The whole house shook," he said. "I shouted to my wife to get the kids out. I thought the furnace had exploded. Then I saw the car all shot to bits."

Mrs. Rae Weiman had been shot three times Police said the couple, mar- ried less than three years, had been separated about two months.
