Lucien Rivard, 48, was ar- rested June 19 in Montreal for the U.S. justice department on a warrant charging him with smuggling heroin for the Mafia crime syndicate. | Joe (Bananas) Bonanno, 59, a Mafia figure, was jailed in Montreal earlier the same month on a charge of perjury for falsely claiming in an appli- cation for Canadian citizenship that he had no criminal record. Seven witnesses are sched- uled to testify today and Wed- nesday at the resumed inquiry .jinto allegations of bribery and influence-peddling against fed- eral ministerial aides in the Ri- vard case. Rivard is still in Bordeaux Jail while his lawyers try to get him out on bail or through habeas corpus proceed- ings. Immigration Minister Rene Tremblay swore on the witness stand last week that there is no relationship between the Rivard and Bonanno cases. MAKES DISTINCTION He said the former is a jus- tice department matter, the lat- ter an immigration case. The evidence so far at the in- quiry has shown no direct con- nection between the two. cases. But some of the 18 counsel keep stated reasons. : Joseph Bonanno, alias Pep- |pino Bonanno, alias Johnny Ma- jnanas, alias Johnny Boventine, jalias Joseph Bonaventura, alias \Joe Bananas, is a_ reported |tacket kingpin in Brooklyn, Ari- zona and Nevada. He entered Canada at an ob- aon border crossing point in Quebec in May, saying he was an Arizona businessman. Bonanno took part in the 1957 meeting of crimina!s at Apal- achin, N.Y. He had earlier been arrested on a long string of charges ranging from gun-run- ning for the Al Capone mob to violating the U.S. Federal Wage and Hour Law. Except for the never been convicted, LAWYERS THE SAME The Montreal lawyers in the Rivard and Bonanno cases were the same and there has been testimony that the two cases were discussed at meetings be- tween the two. Pierre Lamontagne, who has |made the accusations of a bribe offer and coercion, is the fed- eral prosecutor in Montreal in narcotics cases. He was acting for the Canadian government in the Bonanno case, for the U.S. government in the Rivard case. By ATHOL RETALLACK DAWSON CITY, Y.T.

He said he discussed the case with Raymond Denis, then ex- ecutive assistant to Mr. Trem- blay, in the presence of Guy Rouleau, Liberal MP for Mont- real Dollard who resigned in November as_ parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Pearson when the Rivard case broke.

The former bank employee and journalist served Italy three times as deputy premicr --under Alcide de Gasperi in 1947, under Mario Scelba in 1954 and under Antonio Segni's pre- miership in 1955, Saragat was born Sept. 19, 1898, in the northern industrial city of Turin. He took a univer- sity degree in economics and commerce. At the age of 24, Saragat became a Socialist. When the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini cracked dowh in 1926 on socialists and Com- munists, Saragat fled to Aus- tria and then to Paris. He re- turned to Italy in 1943 and was arrested by the Nazis. He es- caped and resumed political ac- tivity.

SARAGAT ly family doctor Saragat was named president of the provisional Italian assem- bly that drafted the post-war constitution in 1946. LED BREAK Dissatisfied with the Socialist party in 1947, Saragat led others in a break from the Pietro Nenni-run party. He felt Nenni was becoming too Marxist in his 'United Action agreements with Palmiro T gliatti's power- ful post-war Communist party. Saragat formed the Demo- cratic Socialist Party and made it a staunchly pro-Western and anti-Communist leftist force. Although its share of the elec- torate was just over six per cent, the Democratic Socialists held enough seats in Italy's di- vided parliament to play a sig- nificant role in the country's politics. Last January Saragat and Nenni joined with Christian Democrat Leader Aldo Moro to forge the historic centre - left coalition cabinet that now gov- erns Italy. Moro became pre- mier, Nenni deputy premier and Saragat foreign minister. Saragat's wife of 35 years, Giuseppina, died in 1961, New Act Africans JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) A law that will affect the lives of all Africans in South Africa living outside the areas re- served for them will come into force at the beginning of 1965. The Bantu Laws Amendment Act, passed during the last ses- sion of Parliament, tightens the already strict control over Af- ricans in white areas, both ur- ban and rural. One effect of the new law is that Africans can be in white areas only if there is a need for their labor there. The act trims the few rights Africans still have in white areas, These now include the right to reside in an area if HEAT WITH OIL | DIXON'S | OIL 313 ALBERT ST. 24-HOUR SERVICE 723-4663 SERVING OSHAWA OVER 50 YEARS Trims Rights born there, or if the African has worked continuously for one employer for 10 years or sev- eral employers for 15 years, The new law reflects an as- pect of the government's "se arate development" (apartheid) policy. Since Africans have rights in their own areas, under apartheid they have no rights in white areas. A Flavoured Wine "SERVE COLD ON JHE ROCKS OR WiTH YeuR FAVOURITE MIX" St. Catharines....
