The indications are, however, that the Conservatives will take between 72 and 80 seats, the Liberals between 25 and 35, and and the prospect of the poorest vote of any postwar provincial election, they point out that the test by ballot becomes less of a public judgment on men and policies and more of a test of from the one reported several weeks ago, simply because of the apparent lack of public ex- citement or even a sense of in- volvement in the electioneering.

(CP)--The an- nouncement Friday that steel making will be ended in this East-Coast city by Dominion Steel and Coal Corp. brought a quick and angry reaction, In an. announcement that stunned Cape Breton, the big is- land at the north end of Nova Scotia, Dosco said steel-making operations would end by next April 30. Premier G. I. (Ike) Smith, visibly angered, told reporters that Dosco lacked a sense of "corporate responsibilities to its employees and to the commu- nity." Health Minister Allan Mac- Eachen, Nova Scotia's repre- sentative in the Canadian cabi- net, said he was "deeply shocked." Robert Stanfield, premier of Nova Scotia until a month ago and now national leader of the Progressive Conservative party, said: "It is difficult to imagine a more serious problem in our part of the country than this one." William Marsh, leader of the United Mine Workers union in Cape Breton, said Dosco had "robbed and raped" Cape Breton. Dosco is a member of the British Hawker Siddeley group of companies. ( Mr, MacEachen suggested! that Dosco officials appear at a public meeting in Sydney Mon- day to answer questions from government, union and munici- pal leaders, but Mr. Smith said he understood Dosco officers would not attend such a meet- ing.

U.S. Marines Fierce Raid By Enemy SAIGON (AP) -- A USS. marine battalion with artillery and air support beat off a fierce attack by 900 North Vietnamese regulars today as the Commun- ists sharply intensified their assault again just below the so- called demilitarized zone divid- ing the two Vietnams.
