Indians
'duped'
VANCOUVER
(CP)
-
A
scuffle
between
a
native
Indian
leader
and
a
Vancouver
policeman
would
not
have
occurred
if
the
Indian
had
not
been
duped
into
buying
an
extra
round
of
beer,
Vancouver
provincial
court
was
told
Wednesday.
Bill
Wilson,
president
of
the
United
Native
"Nations,
testified
that
some
Vancouver
bars
regularly
trick
Indians
into
buying
more
beer
just
before
closing
time,
He
said
patrons
are
made
to
pay
for
the
beer
and
then
ordered
to
leave
minutes
later,
before
they
can
finish
it.
He
was
testifying
at
the
trial
of
Ronald
George,
United
Native
Nations
vice-president.
George
is
charged
with
common
assault
and
assaulting
a
police
officer
at
a
city
cabaret
March
13.
Wilson
said
he
and
his
companions,
refused
to
leave
because
they
had
paid
for
their
beer
and
wanted
to
finish
it.

VANCOUVER

-Federal

Romeo
LeBIanc
said
Wednesday
he's
concerned
that
salmon
poaching
in
British

'has
become

Amendments
to
the
federal
Fishery
Act
will
increase
the
maximum
penalty
for
poachers
to
$5,000
from
$1,000
and
will
continue
to
carry
an
alternative
of
a
one-year
jail
sentence.
Courts
also
will
be
empowered
to
seize
poachers'
vehicles
and
equipment.
Federal
fishery
officers
in
B.C.
have
said
that
poachers
have
organized
themselves
into
groups
which
are
using
sophisticated
communications
and
transportation
systems
to
turn
poaching
into
a
million-dollar
international
business.

are
finding
their
way
to
markets
in
the
Vancouver
area,
the
Prairies,
the
United
States,

and
possibly
Europe.
Poachers
are
jeopardizing
the
salmon
industry
by
catching
spawning
salmon
that
are
essential
to
ensure
future
abundance
of
the
fish.
Fishery
river
patrols
have
been
shot
at
by
poachers
although
no
one
has
been
hit.
Officer's
were
issued
with
revolvers
for
the
first
time
last
year
but
to
date
have
not
used
them.
Fishery
officials
say
poachers
have
organized
themselves
into
gangs

handling
the
catch
from
10
or
15
poachers.
There
are
about
75
hard-core
poachers,
and

of
those
who
have
been
caught
have
been
found
to

Minister
'not
aware'
of

appeal
VICTORIA
(CP)-Human
Resources
Minister
Bill
Van-der
Zalm
says
he
was
not
aware
or
consulted
about
a'
decision
by
British
Columbia's
superintendent
of
child
welfare
to
appeal
a
B.C.
Supreme
Court
ruling
which
allows
police
to
fingerprint
juveniles
without,
their
permission.
Victor
Belknap
had
said
Tuesday
the
decision
will
be
appealed
because
he
fears
the
ruling,
made
July
22
by
Mr.
Justice
John
Bouck;
will
send
police
on
"fishing
expeditions"
looking
for
juvenile
suspects.
"I
personally
would
not
have
appealed
the
decision,
and
there
certainly
was
no
directive
from
the
government,"
Vander
Zalm
said
in
an
interview
Wednesday
night.
"He
(Belknap)
may
be
initiating
the
action
in
his
capacity
as
superintendent
of
child
welfare;
"I
did
not
know
he
was
involved,
and
I
was
not

on

a

will
fingerprint
them
all,
hoping
that
a
set
of
prints
match
those
taken
at
the
scene
of
the
crime.
"I
have
sufficient
confidence
in
the
police,
despite
a
little
bit
of
bad
publicity
recently,
that
they
will
not
go
out
and
arrest
individuals
or
groups
unless
they
have
reason
to
do
so,"
Vander
Zalm
said.
He
added
that
he
regrets
"any
statement,
made
by
any
government
official
elected
or
appointed
which
would
give'people
the
impression
that
our
police
would
act
irresponsibly."
He
noted
that
fingerprinting
juveniles
is
still
a
controversial
issue,
"with
some
people
being
opposed,
some
in
favor
and
the
great
majority
non-commital."
Vander
Zalm
said
he
had
not
had
the
opportunity
to
discuss
the
matter
with
Belknap
since
he
learned
that
an
appeal
would
be
launched.
"I
will
talk
with
him
first
then
decide
on
what
course
of
action
to
take,"
the
minister
said.
Belknap
said
in
an
interview
Wednesday
night
that
he
was
acting
in
his
capacity
as
guardian
of
a
child
when
he
launched
the
appeal.
"It
is
quite
normal
practice,
and
I
advised
the
deputy
minister
that
I
would
be
proceeding
with
this
action,"
he
said.
He
said
that
a
juvenile
court
decision
had
found
that
there
was
nothing
in
common
law
which
permitted
fingerprinting
of
juveniles
without
consent.
The
attorney-general's
department
appealed,
and
Mr.
Justice
Bouck
over-ruled
the
family
court
decision.
"It
is
my
responsibility
to

Belknap
said,
