Leslie Thomas, Son of the Colonial Secre- tary, Testifies At Judicial Hearing.

(OJ. able Ivy Gua.rdlan'a Special Win)

IONDON. May ll-Evidcmce that Alfred Bates, an “old fiend" of Col- onial secretary J. H. ‘Thomas and his son, leslic 'i'hom.as, had taken out considerable insurance against budget tax increases was given to- day by Attorney-General air Don- ald Bomervell at the opening ses- cion of a judicial inquiry into the alleged leakage of information on the budget.

Iaslle Thomas himself look the stand later and said he had not received the slightest advance in- formation from his father concern- ing possible budget changes.

The younger Thomas. partner in a stock-broking firm. said on A/pfll 14--«even days before the budget was introduced in the House of Commons-—he was lnstnictecl by Bates to sell 260,000 (about. 3250.- cool worth of gilt-edged stocks and that later he had effected insur- ance for £4,000 (about $20,000) on Bates’ behalf.

Mr. Justice Porter. presiding at the inquiny in the court of Kings bench. suggested to Ieslle Thomas that it was unwise for the son of a cabinet minister to deal with in- surance on the budget. The witness replied that had not occurred to him at the time but that he had realised it since.

Leslie Thomas said he. his fath- er and Alfred Bates had met dur- ing Easier week but he said he had no recollection of discussing the budget with his father at any time prior to April :1. budget day.

He was in his constituency. the stock-broker continued. on April 24 when his father telephoned him concerning current reports of a budget leakage. (The alleged leak- age was in connection with the raising of the income tax by three

pence and the tax on tea by W0 pence).

"Jimmy" Thomas requested his son to return to London so he could explain exactly what had happened. the younger Thomas said. pm: as adjournment. evidem” was given that in urlmce amount- ing to £3000 (about $15000) had been placed ebewhere on behaf of Bates.
