TORONTO (CP) -- Searing testimony of rigged elections, phoney committee, easy money and high-level skulduggery in the Seafarers International Un- ion of Canada was presented Wednesday to the Noris ship. ping inquiry. Former SIU patrolman Mi- chael Sheehan spent five hours telling about his personal expe- riences in the SIU during the 11 years he served in the union hierarchy. He .was to continue today.

Mr. Sheehan algo testified that. he was present with one other SIU official when Mr. Banks raised his own salary by $8,000 a year. Here's how Mr. Sheehan de- scribed the episode: "He (Banks) said: 'Well, I'm going to make a motion that I raise my salary from $12,000 to! $20,000.' So he stood up and he, said: 'I second the motion.'

Mutchmor accepts WILL BE CONCERNED their new moderator on the first ballot. At the promoting of the three unsuccessful candidates, council made the election unan- imous. Rev. E. P. Johnston of Win- nipeg remained council in a nomination speech that Dr. Mutchmor now. Rt Rev. Mutchmor--gained the respect of Canadians although he often "exasperated" them when he took a stand "'on contentious is- sues." But the new moderator side- stepped controversy at a press conference after his election. He declined direct comment on a earlier speech by the man he replaced, Very Rev. Hugh A. McLeod, who warned the church that continued "over- whelming" Roman Catholic im- migration toyCanada could sig- nal "the ,end of; liberty as we have known it." WON'T COMMENT Asked for his opinion on th retiring moderator's warning, Dr. Mutchmor said: "I won't comment on that. I've never commented on another com- munion (church)." On immigration, Dr. Mutch- mor said he favored a measure of control while stressing that: "I'm very sympathetic to peo- ple from other countries, espe- cially Italians." He said Canada should not impose a quota system to regu- late immigration by nationality, "but we must keep some bal- ance for the benefit of both old Dr. McLeod had said that the United Church will be con- cerned "to determine whether operate overwhelmingly as in the past 10 years to make Can- ada predominantly Roman Catholic." In his retiring address to the ®th general council -- The church's biennial policy-making assembly -- Dr. McLeod sug- gested that religious freedom is greater under communism than in a Roman Catholic regime and he warned against "losing our freedom by default." Roman Catholic immigrants are "doubtless estimable," he said, "but as members of a church which everywhere fa- vors the establishment of a monolithic infallible . authority under Rome they may herald and achieve the end of liberty as we have known it and as we deem it necessary for life." Warning against "infiltration" in Canada, Dr McLeod said "political parties are submis- sive in the interest of a major- ity, the press is subservient in the interest of circulation, and Protestantism is ineffective be- cause of its divisions." .The retiring moderator com- mented on immigration in the course of an address urging the United Church to concentrate on growth rather than mere. survi- val in a hostile world, Council later in the evening voted without dissent to have and new Canadians." He said the address recorded in full in immigration must continue to} signment as "'paying attention to the flock rather than the fold"--to people rather than the church organizaion, "The church must inspire and jserve those who are outside reg- jistered membership and we must use modern communica. |tions to reach them . . . Other- wise we cannot get our message to the big public." Dr. Mutchmor, a vigorous 70 years old, said he plans to "con- centrate on Canada" rather than touring the world during his. two-year term of office. He jwill remain secretary of evan- gelism and secial service until his previously-scheduled retire- ment next June. Mrs, Mutchmor admitted that "we were really looking for- ward to retirement and a more tranquil, placid life." However, she, said she was eager. to help her husband of 42 years--they married in Winnipeg four months after his ordination-- handle the church's top assign- ment. IS VETERAN FIGHTER The new moderator is a vet- eran fighter with a disturbing flare for bruising his allies while he bloodies the enemy.

He feels these conflicts origin- ated in the historic divisions of Europe, and that Britain must help in hastening the new unity. Along with other European: minded Englishmen, he proba- bly considers the United King- dom can supply a missing vita- min for the brawling, booming continent. Europe is a fascinat- ing mosaic of tongues, cultures and customs and it has a gen. ius all its own, but maybe it could use a little British "fair |play," a smattering of old Al- bion's tolerance, stability and flair for compromise.

The justice minister said he regrets Mr: Jodoin's action, es- pecially since the council has been in existence only about 18 months and was just nicely launched into its work. He said it is significant that Mr. Jodoin's 'letter of resigna- tion, received Tuesday after- noon, based the action not on particular criticisms of the council's makeup, but on Mr. Jodoin's desire for a different kind of organization. Before Mr, Jodoin-had written his letter, it. was known. to him that the government was pre- pared to consider changes that might make the council more effective.

He said the council's terms of reference were broadly based to that productivity alone "'is not nomic growth."
