Resistance Movement By BERNIE HUNT | In the event of Communist) occupation of this country, an underground resistance move- ment of 'trained killers" should exist to combat Canada's new masters. That was the goal of Douglas Claude Tulley, a man I knew as "Digger", who claimed such a group had its beginnings in the Western provinces. When I first met the man in August, he invited a friend and myself to join his group. He claimed we'd be the first Ontario members of an intended nation- wide guerilla group that already boasted 1,800 members in the west. REFUSED INVITATION I turned Digger's invitation down, but my friend, William Gardiner Littler, formerly of New Brunswick, Petawawa, Miami, Guatemala and Toron- to leaped at the chance to get back into his old guerrilla-spy| life. | Monday, Littler was remand- ed one week after he appeared | | in court with Digger and the/gone rest of the group's Ontario sec- lof the Canadian Communist|Littler Party. Littler caused a_ front-pag furor when he told a Toronto reporter he knew of a New De- mocratic Party candidate in Al- berta who was actually a Com-} munist. The man had stood in the June 18 federal election. NDP authorites in Alberta chal- lenged Littler to name the man. He couldn't because he'd never lbeen told himself and the issue)Stern warning. eventually died. Littler was to meet a man whose real name was unknown and who went by the pseudonym of "Dig- ger. As the year drew closer to the first snows, Littler was to go off with "Digggr'- and what he called 'soi other _ like- minded" fellows to set up a training camp for anti-Castro guerillas by Six Mile Lake. I didn't see Littler after I moved to Oshawa about a month ago, but on trips to To- ronto friends told me: '"'He's a "Gone, gone where?" I want-| some facts Littler's early life and convinc-| jed him that' a detective had his background.

Littler's appearamce in court along with his colleagues drew headiines across the province, but the group's background is unknown. I know it though, for I was once threatened with what amounts to death if I told. It's an interesting story. DEPORTED FROM U.S.A. I first met Littler just after he was deported from the U.S. minus a smal! arsenal for il- legal entry. He was trying to get to Miami to rejoin the Inter- American Penetration Force in Miami. : He never tried to get back in the U.S. again. Instead, he spent his time. sending raports to the RCMP and Buffalo detach- ment of the FBI as a member |could answer my question, then I remembered the first time I) met "'Digger". He. came down on what he called a hush-hush assignment to my apartment in Toronto's west-end, where four of us waited to hear what he had to say. The appointment had been lined up by Littler. Towards the end of the three- hour confab, two friends and myself were almost sick from laughing. PLANNED BUSH TRAINING Digger wanted to take. Littler, make him a leader of a small group of 10 would-be guerillas, and send them to the Northern Ontario bush for training.
