testimony a week ago Mr. Hees had stated the first he had heard of the RCMP reports was

discussed the case with him in 1960 or there- after. : Mr.__O’Brien listed 20 doen- ments which he said have been submitted —-to—-the—commission, nine of which the judge said were confidential and not to be made available to the press. These nine, Mr. O’Brien said, included the following: A copy of an RCMP report on Mrs. Munsinger dated De- cember, 1960, “A condensation of this with one additional fact, - also dated December, 1960. Another RCMP report appar- ently identical with the orevl- ous condensation with a second part. added, dated January, 1963. A Two of the documents made public stated that Joseph Charles Armand Gaston Le- vesque was appointed execu- tive assistant to Mr. Sevigny Sept. 21, 1959, at a salary of $8,000 a year, raised to $9,000 June ‘1, 1960. '-
REJECTS DEMAND Mr.- Justice Spence rejected
Conservative counsel, Charles Dubin, that Justice Minister Cardin be required to specify charges, if. any, of misconduct against former prime . minister Diefenbaker.
Mr. Dubin contended if the charges weren’t specified, Mr.
|Liberal cabinet he couldn’t pro- ‘ceed further with the. inquiry. | The judge said the cabinet has
{mot charged. anyone but has merely directed that an investi-
gation be made into a series of {statements by Mr. Cardin.
Mr. Dubin said Mr. Cardin himself stated he was making charges in a March 11 letter to |Prime Minister Pearson which jhas been placed before the in- |quiry. | “I’m not. responsible for the |verbiage used by the minister jof justice,” Mr. Justice Spence isaid.. “Those are his words; what was referred to me is his | statement.””
Mr. Cardin has said two or more ministers in Mr. Diefen- baker’s cabinet were involved with Mrs:~Munsinger—and—Mr, Diefenbaker mishandled the lease when it was brought to his attention. .
Mr. O’Brien said “no one can make charges of misconduet against anyone at this stage of ithe proceedings."’
The judge said to attempt |
(give charges,counts and indict- —
iments now would indicate he was prejudging the case.
He added if he does make a report alleging any . miscon- duct against anyone, notice will be given to the accused so that they can make the fullest rep- resentations to the inquiry.
Mr. Justice Spence said it | would be inappropriate for the | commission to subpoena mem. hers of the Privy Council (ip
