H. W. Herridge (CCF--Koote- nay West) said in the Com- mons the assertion was made Wednesday night in a news telecast over Ottawa station CJOH by a Kevin Griffin. Mr. Griffin had said he was one of 100 Maritimers who vol- unteered to fight against the government of Cuba at a sal- ary of $800 a month--still un- paid--and further that the vol- unteers were equipped with Ca- nadian Army rifles, Bren guns and grenades. The CCF member asked the government Tor comment on the report. Mr. Harkness said he had been told that Griffin said the weapons were .303 rifles, Bren guns and sten guns stolen from Camp Gagetown, N.B. Such weapons have never been issued at Gagetown, the minister de- clared. "There have been no thefts at In Cuban Invasion Guns Camp Gagetown since Jan. 1 6f| this year except for one pistol," | he went jon. "Therefore the al- legation that these were Cana- dian rifles, Bren guns and Sten guns stolen from Camp Gage- town is completely incorrect." WAS RELEASED Mr. Harkness said Griffin served in the navy for some time, finally being released on the basis of stability rating. Subsequently he enlisted in the army under his brother's name and served in 1957 from Janu- ary to July. When his proper name became known he was re- leased again on the stability rating. External Affairs Minister Green said he had no knowledge of the kinds of activities de- scribed by Griffin. "My understanding is that he did not suggest he had been re- cruited in Canada. The policy of the Canadian government has been and is not to tolerate the recruiting of Canadian citizens by foreign agents on Canadian soil. . . . No export of military OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's postal service must advance with the times, Postmaster-Gen- eral William Hamilton said Thursday night, but he pledged that no permanent employee will be released to make way for machines as long as he is minister. "I can say . . . beyond any shadow of a doubt, so long as I am postmaster-general there is going to be no permanent pos- tal employee who is going to be discharged or rel 1h of the advent of machinery, au- tomation or advanced meth- ods," he told the Commons. The minister was given his usual sustained grilling by long- memoried Liberal MPs who re- call Mr. Hamilton's own per- formances as Progressive Con- servative postal critic. But his department's spend- ing estimates for the current equipment to the Caribbean re- gion has been authorized since! 2 Negroes | INTERPRETING TH == "Save Baby Portugal Talks Start | Sure To Fall The full-scale movement of {troops and weapons from Portu- gal to Angola may be the start lof a new and tragic act in the | history of that West African ter- I ritory.

The Commons now has pol ished off the budgets of the post office, citizenship and immigra- tion and agriculture depart- ments and continues today with northern affairs and national resources. GETS INDIGNANT Mr. Hamilton waxed indig- nant at times Thursday under detailed questioning and criti- cism that fanged from allega- tions of patronage to low wages$ and personal conceit. Arnold Peters (CCF -- Timis- kaming) said Allister Grosart. national organizer for the Pro- gressive Conservative party, is going around the country giving the impression that he can ob- tain new post office buildings and postal jobs. Mr. Hamilton said the allega- tion was "completely unsound." Touching on other subjects brought up by critics, Mr. Ha- milton said it would cost too much to reduce to 2,000 from 2,500 the minimum population required to qualify a commun- ity for postal delivery by letter carrier. It also would be inefficient to lower further the percentage of mailboxes required in a com- munity for the start of deliv- ery. This now was 80 per cent, lowered 10 per cent from the Postal Service Must Advance With Times i' figure used under the Liberal government, "The House of Commons is not a burlesque house," said Mr. Hamilton reprovingly at one point in reference to re- marks by Azellus Denis (L -- Montreal St. Denis), his per- sistent postal critic. Postal thefts were down at |195 compared with 366 a year earlier and the departments' $9,000,000 deficit anticipated this year would be due to salary adjustments, he said in a "re- ycital of his (Mr. Denis') dis- crepancies and errors." There had been "three or four trumped-up incidents of patron- age" alleged out of 1,000 ap- pointments a year, Mr. Hamil ton said. He spoke at length on plans for machines to handle some postal work aad denied Liberal suggestions that such planning might interfere with postal job opportunities at a time of high unemployment. "We are not in the process of jamming in machines and equipment at a great rate," he said. He still felt it would take five years to develop suitable ma- chinery such as sorting ma- chines .and another five to in- troduce them without displacing manpower. An annual staff turnover be- tween seven and 12 per cent should permit this. | Mrs. David Thomas, her son lines cross the border and say clutched to her, screamed out- that in the event of major vio- side her blazing apartment for lence tribesmen may ignore the|Someone to bring out her baby, long and hard-to-control bound-|Doria.
