Show ChRONide Mody, April 2 J, Paqe Two 1988 DATELINES Jane Fonda is subject of protest in Connecticut than 1,000 people WATERBURY, Conn. (UPI)-M- ore from as far away as Maine and Delaware joined angry veterans Sunday in a rally against actress Jane Fonda, who was scheduled to begin filming a new movie in the city this summer. "Hanoi fane is a traitor and should be treated as such," said Gaetano Russo, a World War II veteran and member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 201 in the blue-collmanufacturing community. "It's a disgrace to the United States that she was not tried," Russo, who organized the rally at Liberty Park, said. In the park, demonstrators carried signs saying and likening her to "Jane, Call Home: 'Tokyo Rose." Fonda's spokesman, Stephen Rivers, dismissed the demonstration as a "charade" and claimed very few people attending were actually from Waterbury. "It was a lot of sizzle and not much steak," Rivers said. "They were busing people in from all over the East Coast. It was not very impressive." Rivers added he thought Russo had "gone off the deep end." Fonda is in Mexico filming Old Gringo with Gregory Peck and Jimmy Smits of television's L.A. Law. Sunday's rally followed a protest April 10 that included a veteran's "hunt" for "Hanoi Jane" with a mock gun turret. ar Canadians admit defeat regarding acid rain fight OTTAWA (UPI)--Tire- d of shooting blanks at the United States over acid rain, the Canadian government admits its campaign to reduce emissions that cause the environmental hazard has fizzled out. "We are making progress with American public opinion, just as we are increasing the number of allies in the legislative branches at state and national levels," Canadian Environment Minister Tom McMillan said. "But, admittedly, we are not making the kind of progress we had hoped to make and still hope to make with the American president" In a recent speech to New York businessmen, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney warned that U.S. inaction on acid rain could harm relations between the countries. Although public opinion polls suggest Americans are more aware of the consequences of letting acid rain continue unabated, there is no indication the Reagan administration is prepared to legislate reductions in sulfur dioxide emissions from coal burning plants. Despite harsh words, McMillan said there is little Canada can do beyond lobbying key U.S. senators and raising the issue at the annual summit between Mulroney and President Reagan, scheduled for April 8 26-2- in Washington, D.C. When the two leaders met last year in Ottawa, Reagan told Parliament he would consider Canada's proposal for an accord along the lines of an existing treaty dealing with shared water resources. But U.S. officials rejected the proposed treaty, drafted by Canada and presented last May, to cut U.S. emissions in half by 1994, a schedule identical to one already adopted by all 10 Canadian provinces. Jackson, Dukakis finish Pennsylvania campaigns PHILADELPHIA Jackson lashed out (UPI)--Jess- e against "scab" labor and Michael Dukakis sharpened an attack on President Reagan during a Trumanesque train tour Sunday as the Democratic presidential candidates began the last push of their Pennsylvania campaigns. With 116 national convention delegates at stake in the Keystone State's primary Tuesday, Jackson pushed his familiar message of hope for the economically disadvantaged to a boisterous crowd of about 1,000 people in Lock Haven, where more than 700 workers at the International Paper Co. have been on strike since June 20,1987. The company has hired replacement workers at the plant. About 1,900 other members of the same union nave been locked out in three other plants in Maine, Wisconsin and Alabama. "Scabs out, unions in," Jackson shouted to the crowd gathered in Lock Haven High School's gymnasium. "I challenge people not to become scabs on the principle of the matter," the civil rights leader said. "Don't walk across picket lines if you take somebody's for jot $8, next year there's a $6 crowd waiting for ... $10-an-ho- ur you." Yet Jackson said he also was concerned about the replacement workers and the "stark desperation" that would cause them to take the jobs. "Why should neighbors be pitted against neighbors in the way where you've got to walk across picket lines and broken hearts? We need to provide jobs for all the people," Jackson said. "When I become president, this company cannot leave you locked out. It must come back to the table. We must end economic violence." Jackson, who has visited the area before, called for support: "Workers, I stood with you. On Tuesday, I want you to stand with me. When I win, you win." However, polls show Jackson running far behind Dukakis in Pennsylvania. A solid win Tuesday by the g Massachusetts governor would greatly enhance his status and could make it appear inevitable that he will win the Democratic presidential nomination. Concerned about causing new rifts in the Democratic Party, the contenders have had almost nothing harsh to say about each other throughout the Pennsylvania to concentrate attacks on the Reagan front-runnin- campaig- n-preferring administration. During the whistlestop train tour from Pittsburgh to Altoona, Dukakis continued that strategy Sunday and fired one of his toughtest blasts yet at the president, who has threatened to veto trade legislation pending in Congress because it contains a provision requiring 60 days' notice of plant closings. At a stop in Greensburg, Dukakis declared that g Massachusetts had last the in three in legislation years "helped us to save over 200 companies and 20,000 plant-closin- jobs." sleep-ou- t Phi Eta Sigma Freshman Honor Society University of Utah Chapter Salt Lake City, Utah WHAT PHI ETA SIGMA PROVIDES from page one Fisher said most homeless people only want help finding a job ana a place to live.

Hundreds of homeless men, women and children wander the streets of Salt Lake City, she said. "People there aren't much different from the people here. Nobody wants to be down and out." Farley congratulated the people gathered at the U. for helping tackle the homeless problem. "I want to thank all of you for taking this action for one more step toward humanity." "There Hunt said homelessness is a disease plaguing the entire United States and is of utmost importance. "Seven to 10 million homeless people wander the streets during the day looking for work and during the night looking for shelter. They sleep in boxes, on benches and in fields," he said. The people most affected by homelessness are the old, mentally ill and teenagers, Hunt said. He said president Reagan is mistaken if he thinks the homeless themselves are to blame. "It's a classic case of blaming the victim. Politicians haven't answered the question so we need to work on it," he said. Hunt said thousands of tons of material that could be used to build houses is rot- ting because construction companies don't want to lose money by building too many houses. Cano said there is plenty of money available to feed and house the homeless. If the United States spent its money on the homeless instead of on defense, there wouldn't be a problem. "I think it's a crime that people are dying in our streets. It's not just starvation, it's cruel on the streets," he said. is no wilderness so beautiful, so arid and fruitful as the wilderness of compassion.
