But then it’s not every day someone buys a custom-built Stutz Blackhawk VI. Craig Cole, 29, a former newspaper carrier, ex- plained that he carried the money in a bag because ‘J couldn’t get it all in my pockets.” Aside from his real- estate investment business, Cole now owns five exotic and modern dance studios, ; “It’s almost impossible to tell how it feels to drive a car like that,”’ Cole said of the Stutz, which has interior trim finished in 24-karat gold. ~ It also has 18 coats of paint, brass bumpers overlaid with chrome, lamb's wool carpeting and seats upholstered in barktanned English leather. wiretaps set up for purposes other than obtaining information on suspected tax evaders. The inquiry was called last April by Alberta Attorney-General Jim Foster to examine the handling of a 1975 in- vestigation into Royal American Shows, a Florida-based midway company which operated in Prairie cities. Whitehall told = Mr. Justice Laycraft that breaking any Canadian law, with the exception of regulatory acts, is a criminal offence. Outside the courtroom, he said his proposition had yet to be tested in court. Whitehall, who represents the revenue department and the federal solicitor- general's department, said that under protection of privacy legislation, there is no provision for wiretapping under the Income Tax Act unless organized crime is in- volved. Several senior revenue department officials have told the inquiry that their department policy reflects the same view. Earl Smythe testified Thursday that the possibility of seizing Royal American Shows’ records from Edmonton city police had been discussed July 24, 1975, the day of the raid on the carnival company’s midway at the Edmonton exhibition grounds. Smy the, acting director of investigations for the revenue department, is the first person to say that seizure of police de- partment records was an early objective of the tax department, Earlier this week, Maurice Bradshaw, director of special in- vestigations in 1975 for the revenue department, testified that it was not until] the midway com- pany attempted to seize the records through court action that the revenue department considered seizing under ministerial authority. The department eventually seized the records on July 29, 1975. provincial court Thur- sday, Bryan Hershaw, counsel for directors and Parent companies of Kelly’s and House of Stein stereo stores, said price setting is a common ractice of marketing ards in a number of provinces. Kershaw argued that a section of the federal Combines Investigations Act, which makes the raciice a criminal of- ence, is unconstitutional. Steintron Electronics Ltd., Kelly-DeYong Sound, Pro-Sound Distributors, Karl Stein and Ben Tessler are charged under the Combines Investigations Act with attempting to set minimum prices and discounts on sound equipment, The Crown contends attempts were made to induce retailers to maintain certain price and discount minimums and that retailers who didn’t comply were refused stereo stock. Steintron is charged separately with refusing to supply sound equip- ment to a Toronto firm because of that firms lowprice policy. FPro- Sound is also charged separately with at- tempting to influence a retailer not to reduce prices. MOTION DISMISSED The charges were laid in April and a defence motion to quash the charges, on the grounds they were not specific enough, was dismissed in the B.C. Court of Appeal in June after further details were provided by Crown counsel Howard Rubin, of the federal Justice Department. Kershaw argued Thursday that com- modity resale price maintenance is within federal jurisdiction only when a national emergency exists and is invoked by Parliament. interested in: HELP WANTED THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES has openings for young Canadians who are - LEARNING A TRADE - EXCELLENT PAY OPPORTUNITIES - WORLD TRAVEL OTTAWA (CP)- Senator Allister Grosart PC-Ontario said Thur- sday he is shocked by a rovision in propoed egislation which appears to give Air Canada the power to operate hotel, travel agencies and other secondary business.
