Mr Claxton making the govern ments main rebuttal said shortages of skilled personnel were largely responsible for the situation Wrongdoing in the armed services comparatively was no more wide spread than in any large civilian undertaking The loss at Camp Petawawo through theft and fraud amounted to $50000 Most of the stolen items had been recovered Mr Currie had not uncovered those irregular ities and he had not been able to find others in coasttOcoast study The defence minister referred to thecheck made by his department of the report before it was tabled in the Commons The fact was brOught to light originally by differences between the mhled report and the advance copy received by the CCF Mr Clmon said he had proposed that draft copy of the Currie re port be checked by his department for accuracy of facts Mr Currie had agreed after initial disinclina tion to do so did not want errors in fact which would dis credit the report and make it more difficult to implement Venom mendations said Mr Claxton NO Horses on Payroll Prime Minister St Laurent told the house of one statement in the report he said was wrong He con tradicted the statement that there were horses on the army payroll at Camp Petawawa under the guise of nonexistent laborers sergeant there had hired number of horses on his own account for army work then hired separately number of laborers and put them on the pay roll as if they owned the horses The laborers turned overhalf their pay to the sergeant to meet thecost of tlfehorses Mr Diefebaker charged the gov ernment with using the RCMP as yitical
