Misses Bar Manager HAMILTON (CP) -- A dis- gruntied bar customer fired a shot at the bar's manager early today while 100 other customers looked on. Investigating detectives said it was "a miracle" that the .38- calibre slug missed Ronald Lush, night manager of Duffy's Tavern on King Street East. The gunman was only five feet away from the six-feet six- inch, 302-pound manager, police said, but the lead slug shattered harmlessly on the terrazo floor. Mr. Lush had earlier ordered the man to sit down and be quiet after complaints about his abusive. language. Later, the manager and the man were in- volved in a scuffle, which ended when the irate patron was ejected. When he was thrown out of the basement bar, police said, the man threatened "'I'll come back and shoot you." A few minutes later, the man walked back into the bar and fired one shot at Mr. Lash, The manager and other mem- jbers of the staff subdued the gunman and held him until the police arrived.

The committee was cansider- ing hiring a special train to carry a display of British goods across Canada from coast to coast. An alternative and less expen- sive idea is to take a convoy of 25 double-decker buses across the continent. "They could be British-made buses that could be sold at the end of the tour,'"' Allen told a press conference. He said Canadian buyers like the quality of British goods and are particularly interested in textiles, clothing, furniture, woollen goods, toys and souy- enir novelties, But British car firms faced "rough sledding' if they wanted to maintain Canadian sales in the face of the proposed U.S.- Canadian free trade agreement in cars and accessories. 4 Z Two little girls admire the handicraft of Leonard and Wayne Wilder, owners of a Dallas, Tex., muffler shop, who created this metal mon- ster from worn-out mufflers and a couple of old-oil drums.

Meanwhile, top diplomats of 35 African nations scheduled another Congo discussion today amid signs of an African move U.S. Over Tshombe's War to soften the tone of the council debate so that some agreement can be reached with the West. Arsene Assouan Usher of the Ivory Coast, an African mem- ber of the council, criticized some African speakers Wednes- day for being "swept away by oratorical licence.' The bitter refrain against the West continued Wednesday, however, with Burundi accusing the United States, Britain and Belgium of trying to impose a "machine - gun solution'? on The Congo. Foreign Minister Joseph Mbazumutima charged that 'the rescue mission was actually a colonialist "military adventure."'

Officer OTTAWA (CP) -- Montreal lawyer Pierre. Lamontagne test- fied today he is friendly with former RCMP inspector Maur- ice Poitras, who investigated a narcotics case in which Ray- mond Daoust of Montreal was acting as lawyer. _ Mr. Lamontagne had told a judicial inquiry earlier this week that Mr. Daoust was one of the lawyers for Lucien Riy- ard whose extradition to the United States is being sought by the American justice de- partment. Mr. Lamontagne has said he was offered a $20,000 bribe by Raymond Denis, former execu- tive assistant to Immigration Minister Tremblay, to drop op- Position to bail for Rivard, wanted on a narcotics smug- gling indictment which links Rivard's name with the Mafia international crime syndicate. Mr. Lamontagne, acting for the U.S. in the extradition case, opposed the granting of bail on on gad that Rivard might skip ail, He testified before Chief Jus- tice Frederic Dorion of the Que- 'bec Superior Court that '"Ex- Inspector Poitras" went to Eur- ope with Mr. Daoust during the course of one narcotics case, DOES NOT INDICATE He gave no indication in his J.-H. M. Poitras o retired caltogt Dec. 8 after beiig mishandling funds. During questioning by Gu Guerin, counsel for Liber al MP Guy Rouleau, Mr, Lamontagne said that as permanent agent on Montreal narcotics prosecu- tions for the federal government he always had a case going on against a client of Mr. Daoust. He had a discussion with Mr. Daoust at a luncheon meeting at the Chez Son Pere restaurant in Montreal two weeks after July 14, when he testified Mr. Denis offered him the $20,000 not to oppose bail for Rivard. He was asked his opinion of Mr. Daoust and what their re- lationship was at the time of the iuncheon. He said he always got along well with Mr. Daoust but they didn't meet socially. Mr. Daoust had gone to Europe on one narcotics case when Poitras Pearson Mr. Pearson dropped a sur- prise on the Dorion judicial in- quiry Wednesday, saying he knew Sept. 2 -- and not Nov. 22 as he suggested in Parlia- ment -- about bribery allega- tions against an executive as- sistant to one of his cabinet ministers. Mr. Pearson's statement, a memo included in a letter to Chief Justice Frederic Dorion who heads the inquiry, was read into the record in the sec- ond day of formal hearings into charges of bribery and coercion against ministerial. assistants. Mr, Pearson's memo said Justice Minister Favreau ad- vised him Sept. 2 that there were bribery allegations against Raymond Denis, at that time executive assistant to Im- migration Minister Tremblay; that Mr. Denis denied them and that the RCMP was investiga- ting. Mr. Pearson said he wanted to clarify a statement he made in the Commons Nov. 24 when an RCMP court of Former RCMP Named also had gone overseas inves- tigating. He said he "was and still is a good friend" of Ex-Inspector Poitras, They met socially al- though they hadn't been to- gether for "quite a while." In the "Lapierre case"--not otherwise identified -- he saw Poitras regularly in Montreal at the court, in restaurants and at his home on Chesterfield Street, Their wives were friends, He had met Mr. Daoust in Europe when Mr. Daoust was accompanied by Poitras, Mr, Lamontagne testified. Mr. Guerin asked whether Mr. Daoust had mentioned Denis' name during the July 28 restaurant meeting. Mr. Lamontagne said he didn't think so, although Mr. Daoust might have mentioned the name Raymond. Mr. Guerin asked whether Mr. Lamontagne was aware that Denis was to meet Mr. Daoust July 15 concerning the case of Joe (Bananas) Ban- nano, who returned to the U.S. July 30 from Montreal and was kidnapped on a New York street Oct, 21, REFUSES, THEN REPLIES Mr. Lamontagne: first refused to reply on the grounds that the information was privileged, But testimony whether the "Ex-In.|"¢ ater said yes. eo AE Feat vif tale, Gem Me amet Patra nsec laid he had arbed te Mi from the RCMP by the i} Denis on several occesicrs but not frequently, Mr. sald that it is well known when a gov- ernment changes, the lawyers -- government work change, When the Conservative gov- ernment left office in 1068, he had asked Denis to try to do something for a friend of his who had been faithful to the Liberal party. There was an opening for a counsel to handle traffic violations at Dorval aire port. r. Lamontagne said he was M appointed standing agent for the federal government in nar- cotics cases at Montreal in July, 1963, and that Denis had been one of the main persons who had suggested that he seek the appointment, "Denis was the person you thanked first?" asked Mr, Guerin, "Yes, certainly," Mr. La- montagne said. * Drops Date Surprise lof allegations that Mr. Denis offered Montreal lawyer Pierre Lamontagne $20,000 to drop op- position to bail for a man wanted.in the United States on narcotics smuggling charges. Ross Drouin, Conservative party counsel, objected that the memo was immaterial and could not be considered as evi- dence, since the prime minister had not been under oath when he wrote the memo, Mr, Drouin said he could call certain witnesses if the state- ment were admitted as evi- dence. Judge Dorion said the Pearson memo was part of the record of the inquiry but could not be considered evidence. Mr. Lamontagne, 29, is coun- sel for the American justice de partment which wants to extra- dite Lucien Rivard of Montreal to face charges linking Rivard's name with the Mafia interna- tional crime syndicate.
