Police accuse John Nared, 49, of Toronto, with the aid of Frank Huber, 44, also of Toronto, of swindling Joseph Jansen of $3,000 when he bought bricks which Huber said could be smuggled into the United States. Police said Nared then double-crossed Huber. Police said Huber approached Jansen looking for gold. He said if he had some he could get it across the border through a customs in- spector friend, Jansen said he did not have any but if he ever did he would call Huber. Police said the next day Nared got in touch with Jansen and said he was a miner from the north country with two gold bricks to sell. Jansen gave him $3,000. They said Jansen called Huber but was told the customs friend was off duty. Meantime, police said, Nared told Huber no money was collected. Huber asked Jansen about the money but Jansen, his suspicions aroused, called police. District Girl Wed on county jail scene of a wedding of two rio residents Tuesday.

Brings Action OTTAWA (CP)--A revival of Parliament's fight over Currie report was climaxed Tuesday night with a charge {that the government has improperly threatened M. J. Cold. well, CCF leader. Stanley Knowles (CCF-Winnipeg North Centre) threw leader an advance copy of the report. He said a letter from Mr. Clax- ¢ ton to Mr. Coldwell contained a "veiled threat" that unless Mr. | Coldwell gave the information, the | RCMP would be put to work to dig | it out. | His charge came after Mr. Clax- | ton disclosed that the RCMP since | have been directed 'to seek that | information and that George 8. | Currie, the Montreal accountant who signed the report, had said he | wanted such an inquiry. | For the first time since the Christmas recess, the. Commons warred over the report through most of the day on a government expenditures committee. Both the | Progressive Conservatives and] CCF sought to open the way for a far wider investigation of the de-| fence department as a whole. The Currie report was related only to the army works services. In that branch, it described a general breakdown of control and a serious lack of security. An amendment by the Progres- sive Conservatives seeking a wider inquiry was declared out of order | by the Speaker, Ross Macdonald. The CCF amendment was not for- mally introduced, but Mr. Knowles read it and said he will move it Thursday when the debate re- sumes. The day also brought the govern- ment's main rebuttal in an hour- long speech in which Mr. Claxton said there will be no scapegoats; that. he accepts responsibility for the situation, and that it is being rectified as fast as possible, Short- ages of skilled personnel, however, were largely responsible bath for | motion to refer it to the defence-| | M.

He said the blame for the situation described in the report lies on the government's doorstep since it had slashed the armed forces to far-too-small a size after the war. / The two opposition amendments came during a storm provoked by an unusual 'government move. The debate was based on a government: motion for establishment of the de fence expendifures committee. At the end of his speech, Mr, Claxton moved that the motion be amended the situation found by the Currie to instruct the committee to give firm and for slowness in correcting | priority to, the Currie report.
