5S OURIES Improper Questioning Could Cause Mistrial By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP) -- A defence lawyer for Raymond Denis noti- fied the court Tuesday he may ask for a mistrial because of the examination of a police offi- cer at Denis' trial for attempted obstruction of justice.

He maintained the questions and the replies of former RCMP. sergeant Joseph McLeod were improper although they had been heard by the 12-man jury. Mr. Assaly told the court that if Mr. McLeod were asked fur- ther similar questions he would want to submit arguments for a mistrial. The incident blew up near the end of the 12th day of Denis' second trial on charges arising out of the 1964 affair of narcot- ics smuggler Lucien Rivard, FIRST A MISTRIAL The first trial ended in a mis- trial after seven weeks of hear- ings on an indictment charging Denis with attempting to bribe Montreal lawyer Pierre Lamon- tagne not to oppose bail for Riv- ard. The current trial is on the second count of the same indict- ment, charging that Denis at- tempted to obstruct justice by trying to dissuade Mr, Lamon- tagne from opposing bail. Judge Macdonald told Mr. As- saly 'you can do so if you wish" when the defence lawyer raised the possibility of asking for a mistrial. __ He said Mr. Assaly's associ- ate counsel, Leonard Max, had opened the door for the kind of questions asked Mr. McLeod. He could not see that the ques- tions were particularly useful but "I can't see that they are le- gally objectionable." He said the jury would know what weight to give the opinions requested of Mr. McLeod, who was being questioned about RCMP interviews' 'with. Denis}; that took place in August, 1964, at RCMP offices. Mr. Fontana asked what would have happened if Denis had refused to reply to ques- Spinal Research TORONTO (CP) -- Dr. Gor- don Murray's controversial spi- nal cord operation probably will still be under investigation at the Toronto General Hospital after he has retired. A few years ago the hospital 5 a to retire consulting staff But rather than abruptly ter- minate the admission and oper- ating privileges of doctors al- ready approaching 70, a grand- father clause was included de- 7 their retirement until Dr. Murray now is 73. If the hospital decides to pursue eval- uation of his concept of severing and rejoining the spinal cord, research is likely to last at least two more years. The controversy arose two weeks ago when Dr. Murray de- scribed techniques to rejoin the spinal cord after injury. Rejoin- ing the cord, with subsequent regeneration of nerve function, has been considered impossible. Dr. Murray referred to seven patients and demonstrated the improvement of one, Bertrand Proulx, who had been paralysed in a car accident. A week later the hospital said results were preliminary and release to the public premature. Last Friday, Dr. W. R. Druck- er, professor of surgery at the University of Toronto medical hospital, said a review of x-rays and operative records of Mr. Proulx showed surgery did not include shortening of the spinal column by removal of a verte- bra. A committee set up by the To- ronto General now is reviewing the situation. CUPE Called Into Session OTTAWA (CP) -- The 17- member national executive board of the Canadian Union of Public Employees has been called into emergency session here Dec. 7 to deal with charges of voting irregularities at the union's convention in Montreal last week. Stanley Little, re-elected pres- ident by a margin of 10 votes over William Black of Vancou- ver, announced the move Tues- day in a _ statement issued jointly with Mrs. Grace Hart- man, CUPEs new secretary- treasurer. They said the board will be asked to investigate "serious and damaging public state- ments" about the conduct of the union elections. During the weekend, Ben Cof- fey of Ottawa, a paid official of the 112,000-member union, is- sued a press statement claiming more than 20 voting delegates were seated illegally. He said two union locals that were more than three months in arrears in dues payments were allowed 18 votes and five locals were given one vote more than their allot- ment. On Monday, Don Roach, pres- ident of a Toronto local, sent a telegram to Donald MacDonald, acting presi of the Canadi Labor poop asking a cle] inquiry inte the charges. POTATO CHIPS It isnt J Basv {o buy bean coffee! Nowadays, very few stores offer you bean coffee. Why does A&P still offer coffees in the bean? . Basically, because '""We Care." Specifically, because we know these facts: The coffee bean is nature's seal that holds the flavour, Once that seal is broken by grinding, flavour fades... NO MATTER HOW IT'S PACKAGED. The shorter the time between grinding the beans and brewing your coffee, the greater the flavour. So if you want the finest cup of coffee you've ever tasted, buy and brew one of A&P's three Bean Coffee blends... Eight O'Clock, Red Circle or Bokar. Not every store can offer you custom-ground bean coffee. A&P can and does. Shouldn't A&P be your store? , ~. mace Fine Quality Groceries! foam TOILET TISSU sts hots 5 Be 12-02 twin pack 5 9: Lever Powdered Heavy Du ty ae Reg.
