Mrs. McMillan and the other five sons were placed under sedation. Other sources indicated the wounded boy was Kenneth, 17, the eldest. MeMillan was a member of the Unevangelized Fields Mis- sion, in an inter-denominational mission group.

An ashen-faced Guy Rouleau, Liberal MP for Montreal Dol- lard, rose at the House opening to say he asked Mr. Pearson to relieve him of his duties until a judicial inquiry ordered by the government clears up his role in the case. The statement by Mr. Rou- leau, not mentioned before in the allegations by Conservative MP Erik Nielsen, was only the first of many shocks in the Com- mons. Mr. Nielsen has charged that Raymond Denis, former execu- tive assistant to Immigration Minister Rene Tremblay, of- fered a $20,000 bribe to a Mont- real lawyer to drop opposition to a bail application by Lucien Rivard, wanted by U.S. author- ities for smuggling heroin into {the U.S. ORDER INQUIRY Before the daily question pe- riod ended: --Justice Minister Guy »Fav- reau announced the govern- ment has ordered a judicial inquiry to look into his own conduct in the' case and de- cide whether any charges should now be laid.

A hearing on the merits of the document has been scheduled for Dec. 4. The writ was issued Oct. 24, a month after Mr. Justice Claude Prevost ruled that the evidence before him in the case of the men justified their sur- render to U.S. authorities. The case began Oct. 10, 1963 with the arrest in Laredo, Tex., of Joseph Caron, a Montrealer, and the seizure by U.S. author- ities of what they said was 79 pounds of heroin found in his possession. Caron was later sentenced to 10 years imprisonment afier pleading guilty to a charge of importing heroin to the United States from Mexico. Police said this seizure put them on the trail that led to the arrests June 19, 1964, of Ri- vard, 48, and the other men, all from the Montreal area.

TRIES. PRESSURE In his charges Monday, Mr. Nielsen also said that Guy Lord, former. special assistant to Mr. Favreau, tried to pres- sure the Montreal lawyer, Pi- erre Lamontagne, and said the Mafia had reached its tentacles into two cabinet ministers' of- fices. Mr. Lord, who Mr. Nielsen says was an "innocent dupe," now is studying at Oxford Uni- versity in Britain. He 'said Rivard was "'in league" with two members of the Mafia crime syndicate. Mr. Nielsen asked the prime minister to broaden the in- quiry's terms of reference to de- termine whether the Mafia has infiltrated "other" offices of government. Rivard was arrested at U.S. request in Montreal June 19 with three other men and charged with. smuggling heroin into. the U.S. and with conspir- acy to import heroin into the U.S, from Mexico. An extradition order was is- sued but the men are still in jail pending further legal argu- ments. The Opposition shouted "whitewash" when Mr. Favreau said the commission would ia- quire whether. he acted cor- rectly in deciding there was in- sufficient evidence to prosecute Denis.

The government was pep- pered with questions from all parts of the Opposition benches in a continuous din for much of the question period, until Mr. Douglas mentioned Hal C. Banks.
