CH ALLIE S 9 WON'T ANSWER " # Is That a Compliment?" Hon. George H. Challies, former Provincial Secretary in the Henry Administration, in the Ontario Legis-- lature, yesterday bluntly declined to answer any questions which Attorney-- General Arthur W. Roebuck might ® see fit to ask. The Conservative member was at the outset of his address on the Hcuse debate on Hydro affairs when the Attorney--General rose to question one * * of his statements. * "I wish to say right here," declared Mr. Challies, "that I will accept questions from any other member of the House, but not from Mr. Roe-- buck." "Is that a compliment or the re-- verse?" the Attorney--General asked. '"You can take it just as you like," Mr. Challies replied, and then went on to say that the Attorney--General had had the services of "a battery of legal advisers, and a group along the sidelines acting as cheer leaders and preparing his data." Several times the Attorney--General * tested Mr. Challies's sincerity and in-- terjected a question, but the latter shook his finger and said: "Not on® question of yours will I answer."
