That announcement came on the heels of a new revelation that the :: federal force has been :c illegally intercepting for more than 40 ears without the owledge of post office headquarters in Oltawa. Other new develop- ments inside and outside the Commons concerning covert activities of the RCMP included: —Solicitor-General Francis Fox said that, as ‘far as he knows, RCMP . documents burned by the force last spring had :inothing ta do with any : = illegal activities. —Tom Cossitt (PC— : 7 Leeds) charged that the RCMP has been monitoring the activities of senior civi] servants suspected of having espionage connections with Communist gov- ernment representatives. —The opposition said former solicitor-general Warren Allmand smeared the RCMP in a : remark to reporters 4 Wednesday in Montreal when he said it withheld information from him : and other ministers.

Coleomb gave no price for converting engines, nor how much a gallon of -methanol alcohol would cost.

Revenue Minister Joe Guay told the Commons he ordered immediate tightening of tax de- partment security and an investigation after two Toronto broadcasters ‘said they were given detailed tax information on four people—including Opposition Leader Joe ark—by an informant. The broadcasters, Charles Templeton and Pierre Berton, said in a copyright program on Toronto radio statior CKEY that their in- formant, neither a tax department official nor a policeman, got most of the information by telephone. Clark’s accountants later confirmed that information provided by the informant was identical to that on the a (for fc Opposition leader’s 1976 income tax return. Tax information is, by law, confidential, anc Guay said anyone gathering secret tax files is subject to a $1,000 fine and perhaps a prison term. Postmaster-General Jean-Jacques Blais said outside the Commons it appeared the post office “had lost control” of tra- ditional co-operation with the RCMP because mail had been intercepted unnoticed by Ottawa from the 1930s to 1976. District post office officials had individually agreed to turn mail over to the RCMP in the in- terests of national security, he said. WASN'T ASKED Blais said he learned of the offences Wednesday following an internal investigation but did not Ku Klux Klan grows WASHINGTON (AP) — The Ku Klux Klan is growing after a decade of decline as it switches to slick public relations from anti-black rhetoric, says the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brrith. “For the first time since the late 1960s, there has been an increase in Klan membership and visibility,” said irwin Suall, director of Jewish organization’s domestic fact-finding unit. The membership of three major Klan factions has risen about 20 per cent in two years and now totals about 8,000, com- pared with 6,500 klan- smen in 1975, Suail said in an interview. The Anti-Defamation offices around the United States monitor the ac- tivities of the Klan and other groups considered ‘anti-Jewish and estimate the number of members and supporters, Suall said. Suall attributed the membership increase to several factors, including the emergence of David Duke as a leader of one Klan faction. “Duke is e@X- traordinarily clever in manipulating the media," Suall said. ‘‘He tones down his views for public consumption, and he is being given plat- forms all over the United States.” Duke, a 27-year-old college graduate and imperial wizard of the Louisiana-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, has attracted national media attention as ‘‘a new breed” of klansman. However, Suall said Duke’s organization, like other Klan. groups, continues to be militantly anti-black and = anti- Jewish.

FAST OPPORTUNITY FOOD release the information because opposition MPs had not questioried him. He said he has advised Justice Minister Ron Basford of the offences and will turn over the matter to the royal commission of inquiry investigating the RCMP now. . Blais told reporters district officials had acted beyond their limits and that he was satisfied the interceptions dealt only with matters of national security. The royal commissicn, headed by Mr. Justice David MeDonald of the Alberta Supremé Court, will begin public hearings in Montreal Dec. 6 and Ottawa Dec, 13, it was an- nounced Thursday.
