' arrests had been made

UITAWA, Aug. 11 — (OP)- Rcyel Canadian Mounted Police constables Personally delivering call-up notices in the Quebec city area have met “armed resistance" in several instances in recent weeks, it was learned authorita- tively here tonight.

The disclosure was made by l source closely associated with those enforcing the call-up Ni;- ulatlons. I-fe confirmed also an Ottawa newspaper M11011 that E military service evade: fired shots in the direction of R. C. M. P. constables delivering similar call- up notices near East Aldfield, Que.

two weeks ago.

The source declined w reveal

how extensive the "resistance ln

area had been, except. to say that there had been several instances of R. _ M- P- oonstables being fired upon one of which was "serious". He re- fused to say whether anyone had been wounded. Investigations are being conducted.

In one case, he revealed, a. civ- llian motor car, resembling that of an R. C. M. P. district automobile, was the target for gunfire.

Discussing the East Aldfield case, he said that; two constables had been driving along a. country road to deliver notices when shots were fired and one struck @119 TB" of the car. The ullet was found

later.

"Evidently" the source added. "the evader whollred the shots thought the constables were after him. The weren‘t. They were ac- tually deiverlng notices to other

ersons. In some cases, men seek E0 evade the draft by not picking up their mail. When this Is done. and they avoid getting their call- up. the notices are delivered in person by the R. C M. P.

"The man who fired the shots wasn't an army deserter, although when the R. C. M. P. delivers no,- tices they have a list of d-eserters and keep an eye out for them we].

He declined to say whether any ln the Quebec City or East Aldfield cases.
