Note: Racism:0130pes (OTTAWA) A human rights hearing into racism at the National Research Council in Ottawa has been adjourned until April. The hearing was suddenly suspended when the lawyer for the N-R-C became ill. The council will now hire a new lawyer to defend two senior scientists accused of racial discrimination. The hearing into Doctor Chander Grover's charges of racism was supposed to wind up today. Missing documents and witnesses saying they were threatened or intimidated, however, threw everyone off schedule. The lawyer became ill after days of being criticized by the chairman of the tribunal for the way he was conducting his case.
