Hit FBI ‘curtain’ at border ; OTTAWA Although government circles are rte the heat of public in- dignation over the brusque and arbitrary manner in which U.S. immigration authorities bar Cana- dians from crossing the border, more pressure will be needed: to push the government into protest action. Despite a Toronto press report that Ottawa is “hopefully await- ing’? an opportunity to advise Washington that it ‘‘disapproves”’ U.S. immigration regulations, it is known here that the RCMP is co- operating with the FBI to provide lists of names to the U.S. iron cur-. tain patrol. FBI agents. are also known to . be operating openly in) Canada and were noticed in Toronto at the re- cent Red Cross conference. Two celebrated cases have brought a storm of protest. The case of the six members of the To- ronto Symphony Orchestra who were fired by the TSO because the U.S. refused them border crossing permits for one engagement in De- troit has aroused nationwide in- -dignation. The case of. Mrs. Rae _Luckock, accredited observer to the UN, to whom permission to eross U.S. territory to reach UN headquarters has so far been de- nied, has also resulted in protests to the government, « It is known that U.S. authorities keep a card index of Canadians at border points and consulates. Much of the information for these cards is provided by the RCMP. The government is fully aware of the increasing number of Can- -adians being stopped at the bor- der, many of whom were far from association with anything “pro- gressive.’’ Everything from being a member of a trade union:to having once donated to the Aid To Russia fund during the war years is used to bar Canadians under the iron curtain McCarran Act of Congress, So far the’ government has brushed aside suggestions that it should send a sharp protest to - Washington with the excuse that the U.S. has every legal right to bar whom it chooses. But there is increasing demand now going far beyond ideft-wing circles that the government must act to protect its = citizens from the arbitrary kick- ing areund they are getting from U.S." officials, _ The government has also felt the opposition of the public on the issue of Bill H-8, its anti-civil rights bill which, when faced with _ & powerful protest movement, was postponed until the November ses- sion.
