Commission Study Of Crime | OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- jment was urged Monday to ap- point a royal commission to de- termine the scope of interna- tional criminal operations and impress on the public how crime is expanding. Opposition Leader Diefen- baker, speaking before the Commons approved estimates of the solicitor - general's de- partment, said the time is overdue for such a commission. "Royal commissions 'are ap- pointed for everything under the sun,"' Mr. Diefenbaker said. "A royal commission on the subject of crime would pay divi- |dends." | He said a commission on jerime could have the effect of |mobilizing public thinking on | remedies as well as pointing out ithe serious expansion of crim- linal activities. | Solicitor - General Pennell jsaid he had followed the Que- departments before the recess, leaving about 10 others over until fall. The government had hoped to get all the estimates through before the summer) break. | Prime Minister Pearson also told the House Tuesday that Canada has doubled to $2,000,- 000 the value of its food aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in the Middle East. MPs today return to commit- tee study of the bill to estab- lish the Cape Breton Develop- ment Corp. designed to attract industry to the Nova Scotia is- land and phase out its coal mines over several years. CITES REPORTS In debate on the solicitor-} general's estimates, Mr. Diefen- baker cited reports of close con- nections between the Canadian underworld and "leaders of the Mafia and other disreputable responsibility . . . rests with the federal Parliament."

But | Foreign Secretary George Brown is the man with real) problems. -- Brown, 52, came under inten- sive questioning in the Com- mons Monday over his much- criticized United Nations speech on the Middle East last week. Wednesday, he is scheduled to defend at a Labor party meet- ing an equally-criticized speech on Aden. 2 Such a barrage of press criti- cism hit Brown when he ar- rived from New York during the weekend that observers feel it was inspired within the Labor cabinet itself. The gist was that Wilson could no longer af- ford to leave his emotional old rival for the party leadership at the foreign office. Another theory is that Brown is, as one newspaper put it, the lightning conductor of his party. |Being the "most vulnerable fig- ure on the political landscape," he tends to get hit whenever a storm blows up. Just now, in fhis theory, he is paying the price of Britain's comedown in the world, The summit between President Johnson and Soviet Premier Kosygin leaves Britons with a vague feeling of exclusion and disquet, having themselves been so long at the summit.

Night workers returned to their jobs at midnight Monday and day employees were ex- pected to be back on the job this morning, ending a strike against the provincially - owned utility that began on a rotating basis May 8. A breakdown of the vote showed that 67.9 per cent of the technicians were in favor of the latest company offer. Office workers voted 67.5 per cent in favor and basic workers voted 67.9 per cent in favor. Louis Laberge, president of the Quebec Federation of La- bor, said Monday night the workers accepted the offer not because they were satisfied but because they did not want to be victims of legislation. | Quebec Premier Daniel John- son had warned that his Union OPP Search For Rapist BELLEVILLE (CP) -- Pro- vincial police and an RCAF helicopter Monday combed woods and swamps between Belleville and Trenton for a fourth suspect in a rape-abduc- tion case. Police said ,a Trenton taxi| driver, Joseph Gould, 39, and a woman were attacked early Sunday in a parked car on a side road five miles east. of here. They said the woman was taken away in another car and raped. Four men have been charged with abduction, rape and as- sault. In custody are David Wil- shire, 20, Rodney Carter, 21, and John Leonard, 20, all of Belleville. Nationale government would in- tervene in the strike if the se- curity of the public was threat- ened. SALARIES HIGHER The Canadian Union of Pub- lic Employees, a QFL affiliate which represents the 8,100 Hy- dro-Quebec employees, said of- fice workers' salaries will be in- creased from $4 to $12 weekly, bringing weekly wages to a minimum of $65 and a maxi- mum of $162.25. Technicians' salaries were also increased, making the min- imum salary $100.25 a week and the maximum $203 a week. Basic workers will receive a minimum hourly increase of 24 cents to a maximum. hourly pay hike of $1.05. Basic workers now will earn between $2.31 and $3.63 an "hour. The offer accepted by em- ployees was reported made dur- ing weekend discussions in Que- bee City between representa- tives of Hydro ahd the CUPE. An estimated 5,000 employees in Montreal, Quebec City, the Laurentian region north of Montreal and areas along the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence walked off their jobs June 19 after the union mem- bers turned down an earlier of- fer by management. Middle-East War Disrupts Silver MONTREAL (CP)--An offi- cial of Kippen and Co. Inc. said Monday the brokerage house is "definitely" continuing its trade in silver options, begun shortly before the outbreak of the Mid- dle East war. However, he said trading has been difficult because of the wide fluctuation in prices. "The war in the Middle East caused the silver market to be- come so volatile that option pre- miums rose' to a prohibitive price, reducing transactions to a minimum." war and the government's pro-) posed location of a new monster jet airport for London in an idyllic countryside. They wonder, for instance, Middle East although France supplied the planes used by Is- rael against Egypt and Jordan. They feel Wilson and Brown talked themselves into trouble} with both sides. On another question, Wilson is accused by some Tory MPs of smearing a civil servant while trying to extricate himself from an argument on whether a newspaper violated a voluntary system of censorship relating to defence matters. The prime minister is scheduled to answer a question on this matter today. Brown's Aden statement fixed Jan, 1 as the date for independ- ence, with a three-year defence agreement. It delighted Tories {as mach as it angered Labor MPs. Conservatives saw it as a conversion to their own argu- ment--but mysterious voices al- leged later that Brown had not clearly interpreted the cabinet's decision. The foreign secretary was generally credited with a mod- erately successful defence when he took the floor in the Com- mons Monday to explain his UN warning to Israel against "ter- ritorial aggrandisement." CAUTIONED MEMBERS He based his argument on the UN charter and cautioned mem- bers against using a double standard--one for Israel and an- other for the Arabs. A noisy House became silent when Brown introduced a_ personal note: "For highly personal reasons I have every reason for caring about the integrity, the peaceful defence and the right to live of Israel] and there is not the Slightest chance of my forget- how President de Gaulle Man-|into the matter and may make aged to escape obloquy in thea statement later this week.

The CBC moved cameras into the Commons two weeks ago to televise part of the debates on the 'understanding it had all- party approval for the move, However, many MPs objected and the cameras were removed. | Mr. Pearson's statement was prompted by a question from Conservative Leader Diefenba- ker, who asked the prime min- ister to take a personal hand in the matter to allow the taping of the debate.

(CP) -- A University of Waterloo history professor Monday criticized what he called the 'devil' theory used by critics of the United States' role in the Viet- nam war. Prof. S. L. Sandler told 150 Ontario high school -- students attending a United Nations sem- inar here that right-wing ele- ments in the U.S. tend to blame the conflict in Vietnam on China's Mao Tse-tung of China who they feel is supporting a world revolution '"'to overthrow all that is good."
