Gardom has instructed city police to investigate allegatlons surrounding a letter signed with the name of a well-known New Democratic Party supporter Gordon Townsend, The letter criticized the performance of Norm Levi, former ‘human resources minister undar the New Democratic Party government. A spokesman in the at- torneygeneral's office says police also will: investigate the possibility that other forged letters were sent to the news| ‘a. ; The Colonist and the Times, which published the letter in March, received a complaint from ‘Townsend, a local resident, and sub- aequently published an apology. Shortly after the Issue was made public, Ron Grelg, an aasitant to Bennett's com- munications advisor, resigned. Bennett said Tuesday that Grelg had declined to comment on the ailegation when he asked him if he wrote the letter, The announcement follows a demand by Opposition Leader Dave Barrett that Gardom Investigate allegations of political dirty tricks resulting from the May 10 provincial election campaign, including the Townsend letter. Barrett alao asked for ex- planations of allegations that NDP members signed noml- nation papers for a Progressive Conservative candidate in the last election and an affidavit concerning Social Credit MLA Bill Richie.

This month's inflation rate compares ‘with an August figure of 8.4 Png cent, The purchasing power of a dollar dropped by almost two cents last month, Although locally-grown fresh fruits and vegetables were available at reasonable prices during September, the savings on these items were awamped by large increases in the price of beef and dairy products, In the 12 months, the coat of food has riaen by 12.0 per cent — a considerably larger increase than the average for all consumer goods. The cost of energy has rlaen by 10,2 per cent. The September increase of 1.1 per cent reflected malnly the “government's July 1 In-- crease in the price of oll ($1 a- barrel) working its way through the ecanomy. Another ltem which regls- tered a large price increase last month was clothing, espectally women’s wear. In the last 12 montha the cost of all types of clothing haa risen by 12.3 per cent. Statistics Canada's con- sumer price Index, which the government uses as its moat common measure of In- flation, stood laat month at 194.5. This meana a so-called. basket of goods and services — devised by the agency to represent the spending of a typical household ~~ would have cost $100 in 197i but now costs $104.50, - In Canada, unlike the United Statea and moat other weatern countries, food has been the fastest rising item in the consumer price index in the last year, Oil coats lead the price spirals of most other countries, There have been signa In recent government price figures that the same pattern ls about to appear in this country, On a single-month basis, energy pricea rose five times as quickly as food pricea in September. When the government an- hounces details of its plan to bring domestic oll prices closer to world prices (which are almost double those In ye Canada), the effect on general price levels will be ’ much more pronounced. Reports clreulating this ‘week Indicate a price in- crease of as much as 30 per cent for gasoline has been under discussion between the federal government and the provinces, Spokeamen for both both opposition parties said the latest price figures provide clear evidence that the government should abandon its drive toward world oil- price levels.

Clark rejects price control OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Clark today rejected a proposal to establish a federal fair prices agency to roll back unjustified price increases in the face of rising inflation. Reaponding to demands in the Commons by Ed Broadbent, rails of the ew Democratic Party, Clark sald his government's chief weapon against in- flation is a program to hold down federal government apending. Broadbent said that kind of policy in the 19208 led to the economic depression of the 1030s. The exchange followed re- lease of cost-of-living statlatics showing a sharp rise in the consumer price index last month to an an- nual rate of 8.6 per cent from 84 per cent the prev.ous month. Broadbent called for a fair prices commission and said the government should ease the cost burden on low- income’: Canadians by making good on an election campalgn promise to reduce income taxes for such people by a total of $2 billion a year. Clark, saying the govern- ment will not establish a prices agency, added that he could not reveal contents of the federal budget planned for next month. | Interest said not the reason PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. (CP) — High interest rates are not hurting Canada as much as workers not wan- ting to do an honest day's work, says the top man in Canada’s construction in- dustry. . lan MacInnes, Canadian Construction Association board chairman, says eo far only minor construction programs have been af- fected by recent interest rate increases, The indolent attltude of many Canadians is having a greater effect, he seid at a news conference Tuesday in this central Interior city. Many expact to work six months and live off unem- ployment insurance or welfare for the rest of the ar. He said people in other countries are looking at Canadians and saying they must be crazy atriving for a situation where all workers live in semi-retirement. Despite Canada's wealth of energy and natural resources, he said, Canadian workers must return to the work ethic and produce an honest day's work for a day's pay, based on international production levels. “They have ta get back ta having to work for a buck,” he said. However, MacInnes dis- counted pessimietic forecasts about the economy by some observers saying “It will take some terrible mismanagement for this country to face a de- pressicn,”’ He accused the former Liberal government of mis- managing the economy during Its term, particularly the increage In the national deficit. “(Prime Minister Joe) Clark hasn't led wi to the deficit position in which we now are.
