Gifiee pig sg TWENTY PAGES Bribe C harge Made By Tory OTTAWA (CP) -- Conserva- tive MP Erik Nielsen charged Monday that a former minister- ial assistant offered a $20,000 bribe in a narcotics smuggling case and said the '"'tentacles" of the Mafia crime syndicate have reached into the federal government. Mr. Nielsen rocked the Com- mons with his statement that Raymond Denis, when he was executive assistant to Immigra- tion Minister Tremblay, offered the bribe to Montreal lawyer Pierre Lamontagne. He said it was an attempt to have Mr. Lamontagne, acting for the United States govern- ment, not oppose a bail appli- cation by Leo Rene Maranda Rivard, arrested in Montreal June 19. on charges of smuggl- ing heroin into the United States. Mr. Nielsen, member for the Yukon, also said that Guy Lord, former special assistant to Jus- tice Minister Favreau, tried to "coerce". the lawyer by men- tioning a cut-off of all further government legal work. He said Mr. Denis was fired over the incident and he was satisfied Mr. Lord had been an "innocent dupe" although he had broken the law. Mr. La- montagne rejected the bribe of- fer immediately, he added. NDP Leader Douglas called for a judicial inquiry and said he understands a third man, higher up in the government, was involved. Supreme Court Rejects Appeal OTTAWA (CP)--The Supreme Court of Canada today rejected a second appeal by Georges Marcotte, 32-year-old convicted killer of a policeman in the so- calied Santa Claus bank holdup in St. Laurent, Que., near Mont- real in December, 1962. Marcotte, found guilty of cap- ital murder in the machine-gun slaying . sustice Gerald Fauteux said in the court's judgment. Mr. Favreau said he would be in favor of a high court judge conducting an "in camera" in- quiry. He promised to check on whether an RCMP report showed a third man was in- volved. Mr. Nielsen said Mr. Rivard and three other men were ar- rested and charged with smug- gling heroin into the United States and conspiring to smug- gle 76 pounds of heroin into the United States from Mexico. "In league" with these men were others, including two who have been reported to be mem- bers of the "notorious interna- tional crime cartel, the Mafia, and the Cosa Nostra of New York," he told the House. Although satisfied the justice minister had no knowledge of the bribe attempt, Mr. Nielsen said Mr. Favreau shelved the case when he learned about it from the RCMP. Mr. Favreau denied he had anything to hide and said he and RCMP Commissioner G. B. McClellan agreed in a meeting Sept. 18 there was not enough evidence to warrant criminal charges. DEBATE ESTIMATES The charges were made dur- ing debate of the justice depart- ment spending estimates of $51,- 552,000 for 1964-65. Mr. Nielsen said Mr. Denis "offered a bribe in the amount of $20,000 to counsel . . . with the request that he not oppose the bail proceedings. After Mr. Lamontagne re- jected the request, Mr. Nielsen said, Mr. Lord telephoned the same lawyer and "made repre- sentations for the purpose of having counsel . . . not oppose the bail application." Mr. Nielsen agreed with the justice minister that Mr. Lord made no bribe offer. "However, again to the best of my information, he did say that, you know, government work could all of a sudden stop} -- coming your (Mr. Lamon- tagne's) way unless something were done to see that you did not oppose the bail applica- tion," Mr. Nielsen said Mr. Nielsen said Mr. Favreau should have consulted with jus- tice department. legal officers about possible prosecution on the bribery attempt instead of merely consulting the RCMP commissioner. Reaction To Bank Hike: "T' Ain't Bloomin' Fair" LONDON (CP)--A full-scale row mushroomed today over where the blame lies for Brit- ain's financial crisis. Prime Minister Harold Wilson called his cabinet into session to study reaction to his Labor government's action on Monday in handing Britain a strong dose of financial shock treatment--a two-per-cent hoist to seven per cent in the bank rate. The cabinet met in advance of a parliamentary session at which Sir Alec Douglas-Home's Conservatives sought to place the blame for the crisis in ster- ling confidence squarely on the actions of the -socialists since they came to power Oct. 15. Elias Gillard celebrated 100 years of life today at Hills- dale Manor. The former New- foundlander was a lobster and cod fisherman off the Grand Banks from the time he was 10 or 12 years old un- til he came to Oshawa 15 years ago, In the winter he went out onto the ice flows to kill seals. During his 75 years in Newfoundland, he also log- ged the back country and worked in lumber mills. Last year he built an 18-foot fish- ing punt at the Manor, with only a draw-knife and an adze, a craft he practised in Newfoundland.

Mr. Horsburgh, convicted on five' charges and acquitted on three, was sentenced two weeks "Banks ae Be Charged" OTTAWA gry (CP)--Anott ner an- round of debate over ex- tradition for conspirac sault. Favreau union boss Hal Banks flared up in the Commons Monday night. Although it went for better than two hours only one new bit of information emerged, Justice Minister Favreau re- ported that in a legal opinion last March 6 the government was advised there was not suf- ficient evidence to charge Banks with theft or embezzle- ment of funds from the Sea- farers' International Union of Canada (Ind.). The opinion came from J. J. Robinetie, a Toronto lawyer re- tained by the government -to study possible charges against the SIU. president, since de- posed by the federal maritime union trustees. The minister offered the in- formation after Gilles Gregoire (Creditiste Lapointe) de. manded to know why Banks had not been charged with an extraditable offence when the HAL BANKS federal justice department fi- nally moved against him. Banks was charged with con- spiracy to assault a rival union leader and sentenced to five years in prison. He appealed the conviction, was freed on $25,000 bail and skipped to the United States. There is no ex- Mr. reporte Robinette's opinion by r part of a letter from the la yer. This touched off an oppositi demand that the entire letter be tabled. An argument raged for 25 minutes over whether the letter was a public document, finally ending when Mr. Fav- reau agreed to table it. he tabling could not be done until the end of the night's sit- ting, however, and the letter was not available to the press until today. Eldon Woolliams (PC -- Bow River) revived the Banks issue during debate on justice depart- ment estimates. He said Banks would never have been allowed out on bail if the chief justice of Quebec, who granted bail, had been sup- plied with "'available and com- plete evidence as to the actions of Mr. Banks." ago to one year in jail on each of the convictions with the sen- tence to run concurrently. Mr. counsel, in asking Mr. J. M. King for ment, said that transcripts of Mr. Horsburgh's trial in Cha- tham last month had just been received and information needed for the motion would not be submitted to the court until later today, The charges on which Mr. Horsburgh was convicted dealt with juveniles having sexual in- tercourse or beihg advised to have it. Juvenile Court Judge W. H. Fox in his decision to convict handed down two weeks: ago, found that many of the children who testified at the 14-day court hearing were "truthful" wit- nesses and that Mr. Horsburgh was "evasive" and 'less than frank" in some cases.
