The Bomber, Not Bombed |Favreau Actions Defended Makes The Peace Pleas By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) -- It is President Johnson who is plead- ing for a discussion to end the fighting in Southeast Asia, not the North Vietnamese who have been bombed for two months by American planes in an effort to pressure them into seeking peace. . They've endured the battering and given no public indication of asking peace. In making his plea, in a broadcast speech from Balti- more Wednesday night, Johnson took a softer line than his ad- ministration has been following since Feb. 7 when Viet Cong terrorists attacked an American air base and Johnson ordered bombing raids on the north. This shift in position came one day after The Associated Press reported 50 per cent of the people in South Viet Nam are sifting on the fence, sup- porting neither their American- iy government nor the Viet 'ong. Johnson's shift of position can| be seen by comparing what he and his administration had said before with what he said Wed- nesday night. After Johnson ordered the bombing to begin Feb. 7, the White House issued a statement which said in part: "The key to the situation re- mains the cessation of infiltra- tion from North Viet Nam and the clear indication by the Hanoi regime that it is pre- pared to cease aggression against its neighbors." State Secretary Dean Rusk later repeated that position. Although Defence Secretary Robert S. McNamara Wednes- day said the military situation in South Viet Nam has become increasingly serious this last year, Johnson a few hours later By KEN KELLY QUEBEC (CP)--Lawyers for Liberal MP Guy Rouleau and Liberal organizer Guy Masson get a chance today to reply to some of the harsh words said about their clients during the Dorion inquiry's hearings on the kucien Rivard affair.

DEALS WITH MP Mr. Even concentrated his ar- gument on Mr. Rouleau, who also resigned as chairman of the caucus of Liberal MPs Feb. He said Mr. Rouleau lied un- der oath to the inquiry about the timing of: his telephone call to Mr. Lamontagne about the Rivard case. Mr. Rouleau had known or strongly suspected that Rivard was not arrested for nothing and was probably guilty of the jnarcotics offence. It had been ldifficult to believe Mr. Rou- leau's testimony that he didn't |know about Rivard's June 19 ar- rest until early in August. | The intervention of Mr, Rou- \leau in the administration of |justice was all the more seri- ous because Rivard was wanted by the United States under an By Lawyer For Creditistes tempted bribery against Denis and of political pressure against Mr. Rouleau and two aides to Mr. Favreau--Guy Lord, now at Oxford University, and Andre Letendre, the justice minister's executive assistant. The RCMP had tried to throw onto Mr. Favreau's shoulders the responsibility for the whole affair, It was not true, as the RCMP seemed to suggest, that Mr. Favreau had limited the in- vestigation. SAYS RCMP ERRED The RCMP erred in not hav- ing bilingual or French-speak- ing investigators undertake the acted police inquiry, hadn't speedily and placed obstacles in the way of the chief investi- gator, Insp. J. P. Drapeau. "This investigation was con- ducted in quite an amateurish ashion,"" he said. Mr. Jolin said Mr. wasn't entirely blameless.

Chevrier Accused MONTREAL (CP)--The pres- ident of Autair Helicopters Lim- ited Wednesday accused Trans- port Minister Pickersgill and former cabinet minister Lionel Chevrier of a campaign of "vil- ification and libel" against his company. Douglas W. Connor said he is convinced this is why his Mont- real - based company was by- passed on an $84,000 federal contract in favor of a rival firm whose tender was $200 higher. He made the allegation be- fore Justice Rene Duranleau of Quebec Superior Court, who is hearing Autair's petition for an injunction to prevent the rival firm, Atlantic Helicopters, from implementing the contract in question. "Ever since 1960 we. have been the victims of vilification and libel in Hansard by Chev- rier and his puppet, Pickers- gill,' Mr. Connor testified, "Every time we did anything, they found something wrong with it on the floor of the 'House of Commons. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 8,1965 J And Pickersgill Of 'Autair' Libel Quebec in viewof its lower tender and its satisfactory work on the line since 1960. Mr. Connor, questioned by Atlantic lawyer John Schlesin- ger, said he had no indication of the impending charge prior to a telephone call March 25. He said he then checked with both the transport department and Air Transport Board to see whether they were investigating his company's licences. "I ascribe our present dif- ficulties to Mr. Pickersgill, in particular, who has been carry- ing on the activities of his former colleague, Mr. Chev- rier. That is my contention." Earlier in the day, evidence put before the court by govern- ment officials disclosed that the treasury board -- a group of cabinet ministers, including Mr. Pickersgill, who ruled on all government expenditures -- awarded the contract to Atlan- tic on the basis of a cabinet decision that Autair should be given no government work "pending completion of a cur- rent investigation." | This information was con-| tained in a memo between two defence production department officials. It gave no indication who was conducting the inves- tigation or the circumstances surrounding. Earlier, the department and its minister, C. M.
