Commander William Hucklesby,
head of Scotland Yard's anti-
terrorist branch, told a news con-
ference Tuesday night that the
discoveries refuted claims by

’ Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy

that Britain was responsible for the
April 17 incident that brought about
the siege.

“We have found evidence that
totally refutes Col. Khadafy’s
version of events, which is -that
British armed police fired on the
building,” he said.

“We have positive proof that shots
have been fired from a first-floor
window,” he said. a

“This spot is at the side of the
window from which witnesses saw
the automatic weapon being fired”
April 17, when a gunman opened up
on Libyan protesters outside the
building which housed what was
officially known as the People’s

Bureau, killing a British
policewoman.

Libyan officials gave no public
comment on Scotland Yard’s reports
on the weapons,

Dollar drops, U.S. r

‘More worries plagued Canadian
businessmen Tuesday as the dollar

tumbled to close at a 22-month low of -

77.23 cents U.S,, thanks to rising U.S.
interest rates. ;
.The currency, down. sharply for
the second straight day, fell 43-100 of
acent from Monday's close of 77.66
cents U.S. and a total of 79-100 since
-last Friday's close of 78.02 cents. It
is still about half a cent higher than
its record low of 76.80 set in June
1982.
Meanwhile, Finance. Minister
Mare. Lalonde, grilled in the Com-
mons about the decline in gross

domestic product as well as the -

dropping dollar, washed his hands of
responsibility. .

Lalonde denied that government
policies are to blame for the

weakness of the dollar and argued .

that while the dollar has been falling
against its U.S. counterpart, it has
been gaining ground against most
other forelgn currencies. And he
blamed the lockout of B.C. pulp
workers for the reported slowdown
in economic growth.

Gross domestic product, one of the
broadest measures of economic
activity, fell 12 per cent In
February, sald Statistics Canada,.

TORONTO (CP) — It's 12:25 p.m.:
and radio reporter Steve Pajkin is

the 10th-floor reception area and the

A minute drags by. A phone rings.
He's here,

Paikin rushes the would-be prime
minister into the studio. There is a
lot of nervous energy in there, and
the interviewers pounce.

Munro js introduced as the guy
who resigned as labor minister in
1978, “after telephoning a judge
concerning a criminal case,”

Then the first question — a
favorite of almost every interviewer
Munro met during his recent
Toronto swing: Why run for the
Liberal leadership when you don’t
atand a chance?

NOT COOL

Munro is not cool, He is no Ger-
maine Greer. But this is politica, not
sex, Munro and Destiny,

“Jeez,” says Munro, clearly
annoyed, First off, the call to the
judge wasn't to interfere with the
fundamental question of guilt or
innocence, he says.

“T happened to call the judge on
the day of sentencing because I'd

forgotten to send in a character

dark horse in the race. “That may

The night before, about 400 en-
thusiastic Chinese supporters had
overflowed a local reataurant for a
$50-a-plate fundraiser. It was
organized with the help of aome very
prominent supporters, including
Sheila Copps, the Liberal member of
the Ontario legislature for Hamilton
Centre, and Wally Zimmerman, a
former president of the Ontario
Liberals.

NOT MUCH PRESS

-But Munro's speech rated only a
few lines in the Toronto papers.
Instead, they ran prominent pic-
tures of fellow candidate Mark
MacGuigan standing beside a
woman in an Easter Bunny costume.

It’s hard to tell which bothers
Munro more. Interviewers who
imply he — 22 years an MP, 14 years
in cabinet — ian‘t even in the run-
ning. Or those who ignore him,

“This is where the campaign
changes gears,” says Hugh Rush-
ford, recently hired as Munro's
media expert,

says Rushford,

There'll be media questlon-and-
answer sessions at every atop. Rush-
ford will get the media out to the

Munro shines, And he'll start giving After

The theory seems to be-that while
Munro may not dazzle, he can wear
you down.
BUDGET RAISED

The Indian and Northern Affalra
minister has established campaign
centres in every- province and
territory . and he boasts his
organization will pay dividends in
the final weeks before the leadership
convention in Ottawa June 14-17. His
campaign, which he first said would
be a no-frills operation of $600,000 to
$800,000, now should reach §1
million, he says. ,

Aside from one controversial
$10,000-donation from a Manitoba
tribal council, Munro says he doesn’t
kmow the extent of contributlons by
native people. “I don't want to
know." The former labor. minister
says he hopes he is winning growing
support from labor and the working-
class constituency that has
previowly supported the New
Democrats.

Munro is defensive when in-
terviewers point out that he has no |
endorsements from hia cabinet
colleagues. In fact, he hae Just three

He resiste any speculation that he
is running only to build a block of

Denis is having second thoughts on
how he'll vote as one of the 3,500

“I'm really questioning myself,’

sald Denis, 22, emerging from one of
three closed meetings that Tuer

“When I camehere, I did not know -

“We're reinforcing. the com-

mittment of decided delegates and
trying to convert the undecided,” a
-top Turner aide said outside oe of

the meetings. _.
“ Meanwhile, Turner stuck by his

long-standing policy of not com-
menting on polls,
