Maurice Sauve, minister of forestry and rural development, is reported to have requested permission from the Liberal party to resign as MP for Iles- de-la-Madeleine to run in the byelection in Outremount - St. Jean, vacated by Maurice La- montagne's elevation to the Sen- ate. If Mr. Sauve had resigned from his seat, which is slated to disappear due to the redis- tribution of federal constituen- cies, a sixth byelection would have been necessary in Iles-de- la-Madeleine. Informed sources said Mr. Sauve did not protest his party's 56,000 Chicago Teamsters decision not to hold a byelection in Iles-de-la-Madeleine. Liberal MPs are said to have been almost completely opposed to Mr. Sauve's switching seats by means of a byelection. One MP, Marcel Prud'homme of Montreal St. Denis, said he would run in the byelection in Montreal Papineau, vacated by Guy Favreau's appointment to the bench of Quebec Super- ior Court, if Mr. Sauve were permitted to run in Outremont- St. Jean.

MADE DISCOVERIES "New discoveries have been SHOULD BE ON LEFT RIGHT -- ALL EYE WASH Nelson Right Eye Patch Wrong LONDON (AP) -- A Royal Navy surgeon said today that for 173 years artists have been painting Admiral Lord Nel- son's eyepatch over the wrong eye. "They've been putting the patch over Nelson's right eye," said Surgeon Cmdr. Crawford Barras, "and that's all eye wash." "It's true that an enemy cannon ball did send a shower of splinters into his right eye at the siege of Calvi in Cor- sica in 1794. "But he could tell the dif- ference between light and dark with the injured right eye. It was never removed, you know, and in appearance was normal. "Knowing that it was the right eye that was injured, a great many artists painted a black patch over the right eye, and they've got the color wrong, too." Cmdr. Barras, who is sur- geon commander at the royal naval hospital at Haslar, Hampshire, and one of the navy's top eye surgeons, said old medical records tell the correct story.
