2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, March 10, 1968 WINDFALL: RISE AND FALL Drillers Exec. Made $53,000 TIMMINS (CP) -- Three top executives of the company which drilled the Windfall Oils and Mines Limited property near here last July bought 100,- 000 shares of Windfall stock and reaped a total profit of about $53,000, a royal commis- sion was told Tuesday. Edgar Bradley, president of Bradley Brothers Limited, which had the contract to drill the Windfall property, said he made about $16,000 from his 20,000 shares, Vice - President Wilbert Bradley made $20,858 from his 60,000 shares and R. F. Spencer, secretary - treas- urer, $16,549 from 20,000 shares. The royal commission is in- vestigating the rise of Windfall stock to $5.60 from 56 cents on rumors of a rich base-metal strike. When the company said it had not made a strike, the stock collapsed to 80 cents from $4.15 overnight. Mr. Spencer told the com- mission that while he was with Wilbert Bradley in Noranda, Que., July 4 he received a all from Edgar Bradley in Tim- mins. He said Edgar Bradley told him there was mineraliza- tion in the Windfall drill core. He did not know the source. of Mr. Bradley's information. On July 5 he and Wilbert Bradley went to Timmins where Roch Grignon, office manager at Bradley Brothers' Timmins office, told him that, according to George MacMillan, Wind- fall's president, the drill showed 65 feet of "good-looking core." This information was interp- reted by Mr. Spencer as a sign that mineral values were pres- ent. i He said that later that night they- met Edgar Bradley an the threesome decided that Windfall might be a good stock to buy. However, they were reluctant to buy because they felt they had confidential information He said they were worried about their ethical position. The meeting broke up with each man deciding to make his own decision on whether to buy. On Monday, July 6, the day 'Windfall opened at $1.01 on the Toronto Stock Exchange after closing at 56 cents the previous Friday, Mr. Spencer said he received a telephone call from I. E. Jones of Housser and Company Limited, his Toronto broker "Mr. Jones said if I had my gambling shoes on [ could make some money in Windfall," he said Mr. Spencer put in an order to buy 10,000 shares of Wind- fall, Later the same day he tele- phoned Mr. Jones and ordered another 10,000 shares, upon which Mr. Jones told him that Windfall had 85 feet of miner- alization in the drill core. Commission counsel Patrick Hartt asked: 'Did Mr. Jones know that your firm was drill- ing Windfall property?" "Not so far as I know, and I didn't tell him," Mr. Spen- cer said.

The report by the United Nations correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor says President Johnson asked Can- ada to check secret advice from President de Gaulle of France and Secretary-General U Thant of the UN that the Communists were favorably in- clined toward talks. Says the dispatch: "Ottawa is understood to have reported back that its member of the International Control Commission in Hanoi exploratory talks. reached Washington (Informants here say the Ca- nadian member of the three- nation supervisory group was not capital in January.) : Adds the dispatch: "It appar- ently was the cause of irritation shown by White House spokes- men when the French and U Thant reports of willingness in Hanoi reached the Western press in February. "Washington, basing its esti- mates on its own intelligence and the Canadian feeler, felt the pressure for talks built in Janu- cow, the UN and elsewhere was dangerous." ® The state department at the same time Tuesday had a pre- pared response to the minority to Britain and Soviet Russia as co-chairman of the 1954 Geneva Conference which made ada, India and Poland the tri- then found no such desire for This report in. the North Vietnamese upon the news from Paris, Mos- Canadian report made Feb. 13 Can- , OTTAWA (CP)--The Cana- dian Labor Congress called on the government today to reduce personal income tax rates and ing to spur the economy and create new jobs.
