OTTAWA, (CPl - Liberal merri- bers of the Commons defence committee defeated a new Op- position move Thursday for a

' wide inquiry into the defence de-

partment after brandzlng it as an attempt to impose a supcr-civll- service and police-state type of in- vestigation on the department. With the aid of the lone Social Credit member, they rejected by 8. vote of 13 to '1 a Progressive Coliservative motinii calling for an interim report to the Commons stating that George Currie fully suipportcd his report on the army works services in his testimony and that he should be named to go on with an inquiry into the set-up in all three armed forces.

Case For Police -

In the midst hours of controversy, and counter-accusations, Percy Wright iCCl"-Melforti followed up his Tuesday statements about correspondence indicating extrava- gance and dishonesty in a. secret defence contract with the state- mcnt that he is turning this mat- ter over to the police, He said the Defence Production Depart- ment will hear "very soon" about it. He declined to elaborate.

Just as the wrangling over the Conservative motion came to an end, Donald Fleming (PO-TOF onto-Eglirlton) threw in another which is almost certain to set off another round of argument start- ing Tuesday.

Want All Reports

He moved that the committee call for the production of all re- ports by the Defence Departiriclirs chief ouditor on accounting irreg- ularities in iho army works serv- ices in the period covered by the Currie report. that is from 1950 on.
