Mr. Campney, who returned to | the capital by air Tuesday from a| | European vacation following the NATO Council meeting in Paris| | early last month, was asked by reporters on his arrival for com-| {ment on a news report which said {he had taken exception to state-| | ments made by the general at a| {press conference here Dec. 5. | | Gen. Graham said then that the| army will recommend to the gov- ernment within six months a plan for creation of its own air force. | The report quoted informants as| saying this was considered a mat- ter of government policy and should not have been discussed publicly when a definite policy still had not been decided. | Mr. Campney said he has great admiration for Gen. Graham and was as surprised as anyone to read the report. Gets Two Years For Trafficking MONTREAL (CP)--Mana Par- deahtan, 25, of New York, Tuesday was sentenced to two years in peni- tentiary after pleading guilty to charges of trafficking in marijuana cigarets and conspiracy. Pardeahtan, who RCMP said was lin Canada illegally, was arrested | Friday withstwo companions in a car here. Police seized 700 mari- juana cigarets valued at $600 on | the illicit drug market. | The companions--John Olpinsky, 31, and George Karneff, 34, both |of Montreal--are being held with- out bail. RCMP said the arrests were brought about by the clever under- cover work of Montreal police- woman Mary Elm who had posed as a police officer willing to ac- cept bribes. The men were arrested | after Miss Elm made her fourth purchase of marijuana cigarets since Dec. 1. Police said Pardeahtan planned to organize a large-scale distribu- tion ring to deal in marijuana |sigarets in the Montreal _ district.

B. Bax- ter in Bowmanville police court on Tuesday Hicks was arrested by provincial police on December 2 and lodzed in the Bowmanville cells. During the early part of the next morn- ing, Hicks removed one of the bars of his cell and pried open the cell door. Later the same morning, he surrendered to provincial police in the company of his father, Robert Hicks. Giving evidence on the charge of theft, Provincial Constable Til- son stated that at 3 a.m. on Nov- ember 15, he observed a car pro- ceeding west on Highway No. 2 without lights. He pursued the ve- hicle and, north of the highway, the car turned into a drive shed, at the time he observed a man run around the drive shed but he w2s unable to apprehend him. In the car he found two hags con taining a number of live hens. Subsequent investigation showed that the vehicle was owned by the father of the accused and had been in Hicks possession for some weeks. On cross-examination by defence council John Regan, Tilson ad- mitted that he was unable to iden- tify the accused as being in the car. He further admitted that he had no knowledge that the hens were stolen, that a crime had even been com- mitted.
