WASHINGTON (AP) ,— Sen-

The Arkansas Democrat, chairman of the Senate foreign relations. committee and a. critic of .U.S. policy in Viet Nam, called in a statement for a searching effort “to increase

“There is still something fishy about the Spencer case,’’ he told ithe national convention of the | Young Progressive Conservative |Association Saturday night.

The government promised Fri- day to hold an inquiry into the jcomplaint of: Victor George Spencer, 57, a Vancouver postal worker fired for alleged spying activity.

The government insisted noth- ing was wrong, Mr. Diefenba- ker said, and when things got tough in the Commons Friday “they tried to blackmail me into silence.”

Although he did not elaborate on the specific incident, Mr. Diefenbaker’s reference to |blackmail was an apparent ref- erence to a question by Justice | Minister Cardin asking if the ‘Conservative leader would tell

There was no elaboration in the Commons. REFER TO MUNSINGER ~

Several newspapers have..in- terpreted the remark as a refer-, ence to Olga Munsinger, whom they said was a one-time clerk in a Communist embassy. She was described as a volup- tuous former ‘‘'German beauty queen."’ She apparently was de- ported from Canada and died two years ago in East Germany.

One newspaper reported the the RCMP had a photograph of her, in nude, with a former Conservative cabinet minister.

‘We were not silenced,’ Mr. Diefenbaker told’ the cheering delegates at the Saturday ban- quet.

“We will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated, either.’ | The government had- insisted nothing was wrong but the Con- servatives stood their ground and ‘‘when blackmail failed, the government folded.”

Mr. Diefenbaker said his for- mer government never was in- volved in anything that threat-

But -the Spencer: case had \raised serious doubts about the handling of such cases by the \justice departiént and~ the: -in- ivestigation should go back as far as 1944 to ensure everything was being done “to meet the chal- [lenge of Communist infil- tration.” \STOOD ON PRINCIPLE | Mr. Diefenbaker said his | stand was “a matter of -princi- ple’’ and he had made many such stands before even though ihe had ‘“‘to stand alone." But he had been proven right.

Another battle would have to |be fought in the future to save |\Canada’s position as a mon- ‘archy, Mr. Diefenbaker said.

The Liberals already had started with the resolution. last imonth by the Liberal’s student jorganization stating that - the ‘Queen of Great. Britain no ‘longer be recognized .as the Queen of Canada.

“Ask Mr. Pearson about that. He’s, never condemned that de- | cision.
