'Offer Via Denis By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP) -- Pierre La- montagne testified in court Tuesday that he, Raymond Denis and "the party" were of- fered benefits in 1964 to help free narcotics smuggler Lucien Rivard on bail. He said he immediately re- jected a $20,000 offer relayed to him by .Denis, then executive to the federal immigration min- ister, to drop opposition to bail for Rivard. For a second time Mr. La- montagne's testimony was in- terrupted for legal argument with the jury excluded. A sim- ilar procedure was followed for two days last week. CANADA TORONTO (CP) -- Canadian auto manufacturers more than doubled the number of cars and trucks exported last month compared with January, 1965, and most of the vehicles went to the United States. Statistics released Tuesday by the Canadian Motor Vehi- cle Manufacturers' Association show the total number of vehi- cles exported in January was 21,810 -- 16,667 cars and 5,143 trucks--compared with 8,257 in the same period last year. Increased vehicle exports have been evident since the auto trade pact between Can- ada and the U.S.--allowing a tariff-free flow of vehicles and parts between the two coun- tries--came into effect early last year. "There is no doubt the in-| crease in exports has developed as a result of the auto trade pact," Jim Dykes, general man- ager of the manufacturers' as- sociation, said in an interview Tuesday night.

WHILE NEGOTIATIONS RUN ON TORONTO (CP) -- Violence erupted in Ontario's trucking strike Tuesday as negotiators for five teamsters' locals con- tinued to meet company repre- sentatives in talks aimed at set- tling the five-week-old dispute. In Hamilton, about 100 men surrounded a truck from Brant- ford and by the time police ar- jrived they had flattened both lfront tires, slashed tarpaulins, twisted off a rear-view mirror, broken a headlight and torn up the bills of lading. The connecting link between cab and trailer of a transport truck was pulled as the vehicle moved through a picket line in Etobicoke, a Toronto suburb.

They were there as part of the NATO arrangement and would remain under NATO, the prime minister said in reply to a series of questions about statements by French Presi- dent de Gaulle. Opposition Leader Diefen- baker had asked for the gov- ernment's reaction to a state- ment by President de Gaulle that troops on French soil would have to be under French com- Mr. Diefenbaker said Presi- dent de Gaulle had described and slow and suggested that it would disintegrate. The French leader's remarks had been "very strong and def- initiely truculent." Mr. Pearson said he believes President de Gaulle meant to be neither truculent nor final. The French leader had devel- oped things he had said earlier. The only new factor had con- cerned a change in command arrangements in 1969 on French soil. Canada treated the de Gaulle statements as general and ex- pected the French government "to make more precise pro- No French Command For Canadians - - PM posals'"' and discuss them within NATO. Mr. Pearson noted that the NATO pact makes provision for reappraisal of the agreement in 1969. TRUCKER'S LIFE WITH THE KNIFE LONDON (Reuters)--A man in perfect health has been admitted to between 300 and 500 hospitals and had 15 ab- dominal operations during the last 15 years, a psychiatrist reported today. The man, a 29 - year - old truck driver, is one of six sur- gery addicts who have cost Britain £100,000 ($300,000) in unnecessary treatment, Dr. John Barker wrote in the Brit- ish Journal of Clinical Prac- tice. j The doctor, a hospital con- sultant, studied the six ad- dicts -- people who tell lies about their condition to keep going to hospitals--since 1957. Barker said hospitals should be given more up-to-date in- formation on these addicts, whose condition is not men- tioned in surgical reference books.
