HALIFAX GROUP TOURS SITE OF EXPO '67 Members of a delegation from Halifax tour the site | } | { } Landreville Probe Opens ; In Vancouver By JOHN LeBLANC VANCOUVER (CP)--An un precedented judicial inquiry opens here today into the be- haviour of Mr. Landreville of the Ontario Su preme Court, who cashed in heavily on a gas. company' stock after it got a municipa franchise in Sudbury. The 56-year-old justice wa mayor of Sudbury when North- ern Ontario Natural Gas Co. got the franchise in 1956 as it was struggling for a foothold in the northern market. After he went to the bench, he made $117,000 on a deal in NONG stock with- out putting up any money. The federal government or- dered the inquiry in January after a long controversy arising partly out of a report to the government by the Law Society of Upper Canada--the Ontario lawyers' association -- declar- ing him "unfit" to be on the bench and calling for his re moval. Ivan C. Rand, 81, a retired justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, is conducting the one- man inquiry, the first of its kind since Confederation. Plans were to examine about six witnesses here and then move to Sudbury for hearings starting next Monday with later ones scheduled for Toronto. Commission officials withheld the names of the Vancouver wit- nesses in advance of the inquiry opening. Commissioner Rand has been instructed to report to the gov- ernment as soon as possible whether the dealings of Mr. Justice Landreville -- an ap- pointee of the Liberal St. Lau- rent administration -- consti- tuted "misbehaviour in his of- ficial capacity as a judge' or whether they had proven him unfit for proper exercise of judicial duties. The Ontario judge was charged in 1964 with municipal corruption and conspiracy in connection with his NONG deal but was discharged after a pre- liminary hearing. _ Three mayors of smaller On- fario communities were sim- ilarly charged. Two were freed after preliminary hearings; the third was committed for trial but acquitted. Some of the prospective key agit aw tenwn. dhe aden ver area.
