Fhe: four discussed interview plans which were put into action the following day, Radey said that later, when returning to the hotel room, he saw one of his senior officers— an in- spector identified only as Maduk—emerging from a room, Inspector Maduk told him later that he had been in the room to see an in- formant. Radey said the Edmonton detective suspected their room had been bugged and that all of them thought he was involved. However, they. decided they had nothing to hide and that his offer to have the room searched for bugs was declined. Radey said he was told six months later by Constable John Deering of the RCMP’s technical section that the room had been monitored during the three-day visit. Radey added that Deering said he would deny ever making the statement and was ‘“'talking about protecting himself at a RIGHT-TO-LIFER’S ABUSE TAX BREAK OTTAWA (CP) — New- ‘foundland Liberal MP Dave Rooney said Monday in a news statement that said ‘lance for Life, a Toronto anti-abortion group, is abusing its status as a tax- exempt charitable organ- ization by using donations “foe blatant political pur- poses.

In February, Radey testified he informed former Staff Sgt. Ron Sheppard of what he had learned, in- cluding Deering’s name. He -was later asked to write a report and subsequently was given a memo by the Chief Superintendent of O Division which mentioned that an electronic sweep of the hotel reoms had been carried out. Summoned to Ottawa, Radey said he reported to a chief superintendent but did not mention Deering's name because he did not believe “any type of investigation would get off the ground,” During the Ottawa in- terview, Radey said was told the chief superintendent was satisfied with Inspector Maduk's explanation. The inquiry, called by Alberta Attorney-General Jim Foster, is expected to last through June, adjourn in July and resume in August. Progressive THREATENS LIBEL ACTION OTTAWA (CP) Conservative MPs launched an offensive Monday on what they described as _ Liberal government efforts to Suppress distribution of a weekend magazine cup. plement and to intimida the news media. . Gerald Baldwin (PC— - Peace River) called in the Commins for an inquiry into alleged efforts by Transport Minister Otto Lang te prevent distribution of the Canadian Magazine in Sas- katechewan last week. The magazine carried a story called The Unhappy Landing of Otte Lang—an investigation of human error, ard was distributed in 11 daily newspapers across the country. - It was not carried in the two major. Saskatchewan dailies— the Saskatoon Star- Phoenix and Regina Leader- Post—both of which nor- mally carry the magazine in their Saturday editions. Lang is the only Liberal cabinet minister from that - province. Lang said in a Saskatoon interview that his lawyers threatened Michael Sifton, owner of the two papers, with a lawsuit if the article was carried. At the same time, he said he feels a higher standard is HIGH FOO D PRICES PROMPT NEW POLICY OTTAWA (CP)-— The federal government will announce the framework of a long-awaited national food policy Friday in a joint announcement by the con- iculture atta re im ts agri € ents, sources said Monday. The announcement is ex- pected to set out broad guides for the development of a comprehensive national food policy dealing with a ‘range of issues from food production. to trans- portation, processing, marketing and nutrition, It is considered to be general in nature and will not make specific recom- mendations, sources say. - But it will come ata time of increasing concern about a rapid rise in food prices in the last few months com- pared with relatively stable prices a year earlier. Food prices rose six per cent last year compared with a 6,8-per-cent increase ” inthe consumer price index, the most commonly-used measure of inflation. In the last few months, food prices have been on the tise at a more rapid rate than otner items. In April, food prices rose a: full one per cent, twice the rate of rease of all other items in the index. - ha nsumer groups have complained that food policy in Canada has been little more than an agricultural policy. Most of the criticism | aimed at farm products marketing boards; which control the supply ‘of food products in order to keep prices up. But farmers, with Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan as their spokesman, argue the marketing boards are needed to protect farmers from wild fluctuations in commodity prices. Farm income, has been dropping in the last few years and more small family farms have been placed on the edge of nkruptcy. There now are about 100 marketing boards under provincial and federal authority controlling the supply and price of grains, and dairy products, eggs and poultry, fruits and vegetables, hogs and fish. Berger’s biases blasted by pipeline planners OTTAWA (CP) — Canadian Arctic Gas Pipeline Ltd. struck back at one of its major critics Monday, saying the Berger pipeline commission ex- ceeded its authority and that the first volume of its report is irrelevant, In a_ written final argument filed with the National Energy Board, the company said native groups in the North had “succeeded in enlisting the, active sympathy, support” of the man who headed the commission, Mr. Justice Thomas Berger of the British Columbia Supreme Court, The judge, appointed to Fishboats collide VICTORIA (CP) — Two fishing vessels collided midnight Sunday night near Gorse Island, southwest of Bella Bella in Queen Sound, a Pacific.

Arctic Gas said at the time that acceptance of those recommendations would kill its proposal for a joint pipeline to move to southern markets gas frorn Alaska and the Mackenzie River delta. The com ny said in its argument @ NEB that Berger was not asked to recommend whether or when a pipeline should be built. ‘He was asked to recommend terms and conditions that should be placed on any pipeline approval. “The unfortunate effect is . that Volume 1 of this rotracted inquiry is rrelevant and Volume 11, which presumably will be responsive to the inquiry’s terms of reference, is not yet ready,” the company - said. Aretic Gas said much of the first volume is taken up with a discussion of native land claims. “.,.

The government has become afraid of the news media because it ia the only opposition in Ottawa, he added Progressive Conservative MPs Tom Cossitt (Leeds) and John Crosbie (St. John’s West) took up Baldwin's case later, as the House discussed whether Lang’s actions represent a breach of parliamentary privilege. Neither Lang nor Joyal were. in .the Commons, however, and Speaker Survi James Jerome said he would postpone the matter until the two returned. Cossitt described press freedom as one of the moat important basic freedoms in the country, and said the Commons has a duty to determine whether Lang or his lawyers used pressure to event distribution of the nadian magazine in Sas- katchewa: Nn. Earlier, the government House leader, MacEa- chen, said the government has no policy of in- timidation, but: that he would discuss the case with Charles Bell, managing editor of The Lead said late last week that the news per had been ad- vined y its lawyers to withhold distribution of the magazine. . ere was no comment from Star-Phoenix management.
