He said that at one point, when Stonehill's investments were being discussed, he had made a "joking" reference to Stonehill 'investing in us." He considered the joke stupid now. Later, he said the "us" meant himself, Dornan and Williamson. His first impression had been that the others took the refer- ence as a joke. Dornan had later remarked that "'the joke is not such a joke." Denis was being questioned about the Stonehill case in what Quebec Chief Justice Frederic Dorion described as a test of the credibility of his earlier tes- timony tothe commission. The commission is investigat- ing "allegations that Denis of- fered a $20000 bribe last sum- mer to bring about the release on bail of Lucien Rivard, wanted in the United States on charges of being part of a nar- cotics smuggling conspi- racy. Denis denied the allega- tion. Denis had testified that he never discussed Liberal party campaign funds. He also de- nied under oath having referred Liberal organizer Guy Masson to Senator Gelinas or being told by Masson that $60,000 was available for party funds if Ri- vard's extradition to the U.S. was blocked. Senator Gelinas, 62-year-old Montreal stockbroker and party treasurer in Quebec for the last 13 or 14 years, has testified he told Masson that he would have nothing to do with a deporta- tion case. He also said he had heard vaguely about Denis but had had no conversations with him. The inquiry, under way since last Dec. 15, will hear another 21_witnesses. "Commission OTTAWA (CP) -- Raymond Denis says he suspects Hal Dornan, executive officer and speech writer to Prime Minis- ter Pearson, of having leaked information from a confidential immigration department file to Vancouver publicist Al William- son. Denis testified to the Dorion inquiry Tuesday that it was "quite normal' for him as ex- ecutive assistant to the immi- gration minister last year to Supply the information, based on a police.report on American millionaire Harry Stonehill, to Dornan and to Senator Louis P. Gelinas, Liberal party treas- urer in Quebec. Dornan had agreed at his request to keep the contents of the file to himself. At a meet- ing with Williamson, arranged by Dornan and in Dornan's presence, the Vancouver public relations man had been "very; very. well. aware"..of..the..con- tents of the confidential file. Stonehill, now facing fraud charges in the United States, has been ordered out of the country after a bid for perma- nent residence was rejected. Denis said that last summer when Stonehill was seeking res- idence here Dornan asked him to look at the file. They had gone over it together. He said Dornan. later ar- ranged a hotel meeting among Denis, Dornan, Stonehill and Williamson. He had arranged another among Denis, Dornan and Williamson about July 3. Mr. Pearson has said Dornan acted with "perfect: propriety" in the Stonehill case. Denis said: Williamson had told him he hadn't seen Sen- ator Gelinas, the only other person to whom Denis divulged the report.

Johnson, who sticks to a stated willingness to entertain a settlement guaranteeing the integrity and independence of South Viet Nam, has been re- luctant to talk in detail about U.S. policy and intentions in that part of the world because: 1. He wants to retain com- plete flexibility of action, in the military and diplomatic spheres, by avoiding any state- ment that would tie his hands or lead the Communists to be- lieve they were free to take cer- tain. actions without risking counterblows. 2.
