All reports of RCMP investi- gations into allegations of at- tempted bribery and coercion by federal ministerial aides in the Lucien Rivard affair have been submitted to the Dorion inquiry in English only though nearly all the interviews with persons involved were con- ducted in French. This is apparently because all reports within the RCMP are written in English. As RCMP Constable Gilles Pois- sant testified, "that's the way it's done in the force." Norman Mathews, RCMP counsel, is the only lawyer at the inquiry who speaks English only and he has complained several times that he has to labor under the "handicap" of the translation system. Bilingual counsel have fre- quently asked witnesses whether RCMP English - lan- guage accounts of interviews with them accurately reflected what they had' told the polite in the French language. Many, French - speaking witnesses have complained that the RCMP; repofts contained inaccuracies through indifferent translation or through misunderstandings. RAISED ISSUE AGAIN Paul Jolin, New Democratic Party counsel, raised the issue again Friday when he asked RCMP Inspector J. R. R. Car- riere whether it was practic- ally impossible for reports to be made in French in the RCMP. Mr. Mathews said he won- dered what Mr. Jolin was try- ing to "stir up' and whether the NDP lawyer shouldn't be appearing before the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism. Chief Justice Frederic Dorion said he may have some com- ments to make in his report to the government on the point raised by Mr. Jolin. Mr. Jolin added that the Dor- ion commission must find out whether the RCMP 'has the means to put questions in French. The judge said: "If they don't have the facilities now, I THE TIMES today...

INVESTIGATE RCMP (Outside the inquiry, it was learned that the royal commis- sion on bilingualism and bicul- turalism is considering an in- vestigation of bilingual prac- tices, or lack of them, in the RCMP.) The Dorion inquiry was still hearing testimony from Insp. Carriere when it adjourned until Tuesday. At that time, Chief Justice Dorion will an-| nouncé whether the commission| will investigate the connection of Raymond Denis with the im- migration case of American millionaire Harry Stonehill who has been expelled from Can- ada, If the commission does go} into the Stonehill affair, Denis, | former executive assistant to Rene Tremblay, shifted to the post office from the immigra- tion portfolio Friday, may not be the only. witness. Others may include Stonehill himself, Al Williamson, a Van- couver public relations man, and Prime Minister Pearson's speech-writer, Hal Dornan. Mr. Pearson has said Mr. Dornan acted with "perfect propriety" in introducing Denis to Stone- hill and Williamson, The inquiry now' is probing: the allegation of Montreal law- yer Pierre Lamontagne that he was offered $20,000 by Denis to agree to Rivard's release on bail.

BRADSHER MOSCOW (AP) -- Continued American air raids on North Viet Nam could draw the So- viet Union into at least a limited war with the United States, says a neutral diplomat who has had access to Soviet thinking at high level. The diplomat said Friday he had found Soviet leaders both angry and worried that the Viet Nam situation might explode into something bigger than a limited war. The diplomat, who declined to be identified, had unusual _oppor- tunities to talk with top Soviet leaders after the American air with a high official after Thurs- day's raids. The diplomat quoted the offi- cial as saying the first two raids left some hope here that. the situation would calm down as it did after the Tonkin Gulf inci- dents last summer. But Thursday's raids and talk in Washington of continued raid- ing created a feeling in Krem- lin circles that the Soviet Union is being forced to take strong action, the diplomat reported. He quoted a Soviet leader as saying China wants the Soviet Union and the U.S. to fight, but Moscow does not want war. MISSION 'OUTDATED' The mission of Soviet Premier Kosygin to North Viet Nam and the agreement he announced there for help to strengthen North Viet Nam's defences al- ready have been outdated by the Thursday raids, the diplomat said he was told. The possibility of sending So- viet jet fighters to help protect North Viet Nam was mentioned to the diplomat, he said. It was not clear to him whether Soviet Air Force pilots would fly them, he said, but clear statements that the pres- ent course of developments could lead to war with the U.S, indicated Soviet pilots might be used, Budapest Students Rioting BUDAPEST (AP) -- Nearly 1,000 Communist - led students today staged a violent anti-U.S. demonstration and some of them broke into the building of the U.S. Legation here.

Pearson Hopes His Shuffle Solves Immigration Problem By MICHAEL GILLAN OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson juggled his cabi- net Friday in an attempt to lift the immigration depart- ment out of its recent troubles and fill the gap creaied by the resignation of Works Minister Jean-Paul Deschatelets. John R. Nicholson, 63, who entered politics on a dare from the late C. D. Howe, was moved from the post office department to head a_ post that Rene Tremblay and sev- eral of his predecessors found too hot to handle. Mr. Trem- blay was moved to post office. Mr. Deschatelets' resignation for personal reasons resulted in the switch of Lucien Cardin, who gained experience as asso- ciate minister to Paul Hellyer in defence, to works, and the entry into the cabinet of Terre- bonne MP Leo Cadieux to take over Mr. Cardin's former job. The prime minister told a press conference that Mr. Des- chatelets' departure had pre- vented him delaying cabinet changes until the report of the Dorion inquiry into charges of bribery and coercion is re ceived." Mr, Pearson----and Opposition Leader Diefenbaker seconded the statement--expressed regret RENE TREMBLAY at' Mr.' Deschatelets' decision: - In a letter to the prime minis ter Mr. Deschatelets said it was prompted by the ' and sorrow of the death of our beloved daughter." DAUGHTER DIES His daughter Helen, 23, a Montreaj nightclub singer, died suddenly Feb. 3. It was the second resignation of a Quebec cabinet minister in three weeks. Yvon Dupuis, 38, quit three weeks ago shortly be fore a newspaper story linked his name to an alleged race track app.ication scandal. For Mr. Tremblay, 42, the change {to post office should mean less controversy than im- migration where he took stiff opposition criticism for his |handling of the department and icertain immigration cases. Mr. Diefenbaker, who de- scribed the cabinet changes as insignificant, said Mr. Trem- blay's move was an admission by the prime minister of '"'the validity of criticism of the min- ister and that department."
