PM CALI 'Go 5 ian ae = VY OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Min- ister Pearson telephoned Van- couver Friday night to ask a postal clerk fired because of al- leged espionage activities whether he is happy with the way things have gone. George Victor Spencer said he isn't. - A sharthand renorter took notes at Mr. Pearson's resi- dence in what apparently was between a Canadian prime min- ister and an alleged spy. The exchange lasted 24% minutes. ter announced that a judicial in- quiry will be held into Spencer's complaint that he does not feel he was given a fair deal. The terms of reference will be the same as those given ear- lier in the Commons by Mr. Pearson--a study of whether or not,.any of Spencer's pension and insuraneo benefits were taken away without cause. There would be no delving into the es- pionage aspects of the case. The telephone call to Spen- cer, 57, the cancer-ridden sub- ject of RCMP surveillance and political controversy, was the strange upshot of a day of si- zziing debate in the Commons. In the telephone conversation Mr. Pearson quoted a telegram read into the Commons records by David Lewis (NDP--York South) telling of an interview of the NDP member with Spencer and caving that Snencer wanted a review of his case. AFFIRMED TELEGRAM Mr. Pearson then said: "All I. want to do, Mr. Spen- cer, is to confirm that you signed this telegram and that you request the inquiry referred to in it." "Yes," Spencer replied. The dialogue will continue in the Commons Monday because a motion by Mr. Lewis was still before the House when it ad- journed, The motion would trim $17.01 from administrative ov. penses Of tle Justice depart- ment. Mr. Lewis made it clear this amount was selected as a' spe- cific censure of Justice Minister Cardin--cutting the pay and al- lowances that he gets as a min- ister to leave him with the nor- mal $18,000-a-year stipend of an ordinary MP. He moved his motion after re- peated statements by govern- ment ministers that no inquiry into Spencer's case would be held. One of the strongest gavern. ment argumenis in tie face. or repeated opposition demands for an inquiry was that Spen- cer hadn't asked for one. But Mr. Pearson also said he believed the government made $ ALLEGED SPY--FINDS HE'S UN a mistake last May in the way it announced the expulsion of two Russian embassy function- aries from Canada and the way Spencer had figured in attempts to set up an espionage ring. FIRST INDICATION Mr. Pearson added that "until tadav" the civil service never ad aly iidication irom Speii- cer that he was dissatisfied. Mr. Lewis asked permission of the House to withdraw his motion but unanimous approval was needed and discussion was PPY -- CALLS INQUIRY still going when Friday's sitting adjourned. The Lewis and Pearson speeches were the eye of @ hur- ricane that left Hansard littered with stark accusations, with- drawals, appeals and refusals. During the debate: --Opposition Leader Diefen- haber caid the Concaunetinns would "be fiappy io approve the 1965-66 justice estimates as long as Mr. Cardin didn't get a dollar of them. --Mr. Cardin apologied after telling Mr. Diefenbaker a = a= = to "shut up" when the Con- servative leader interrupted him to demand a royal com- mission into organi ed crime."' --Davie Fulton (PC_ --Kam- loops) accused Mr, Cardin of "bordering on black mail" with Mr. Cardin's threat to Taise the Monscigner ur Mune singer case--ihe name wasn't clear--in the Commons. Mr. Cardin said Mr. Dief- enbaker was using the Spene cer case as an excuse to "exe ecute"' him. oa Afterward, the prime minis- Weather Report Sunday Cloudy, Cold. Light Snow. Low Tonight 25.

David Bauer said today after Canada posted a 6-0 win over the Poles in the world amateur championship here. It was the second easy vic- tory in two starts for the Cana- dians, who beat the United States 7-2 Thursday, but the gen- eral attitude in the dressing room after the game was that the team still is not clicking on all cylinders.

"We should have had a bigger win, because we were around the Polish net a great deal of the time." The priest said the.Poles ex- hibited a tough brand of hockey, tougher than the Russians and most other European teams. 'This was a rugged game.
