        FOUR ARRESTED IN L.A. FOR CONCERN OVER CLAYOQUOT

(LOS ANGELES) Tuesday, 18 October, 1994 -- Four activists were
arrested today at a demonstration in Los Angeles, targeting a
California company's use of Clayoquot pulp to make phone books.
GTE Phone Directory currently purchases from MacMillan Bloedel
pulp derived from the clearcutting of Clayoquot Sound. The
demonstration shut down the phone company's printing plant for
five hours.

Among those arrested was Barbara Williams, Canadian actress and
wife of Senator Tom Hayden, whose research pinpointed major US
purchasers of pulp from Clayoquot Sound. Also arrested were
Winona LaDuke, prominent Native Rights activist and member of
Greenpeace's board of directors, David Chatfield, regional
director of Greenpeace in California, and Randy Hayes, executive
director of Rainforest Action Network. The four have been charged
with trespassing.
