TWENTY-FIGHT DAGES MUNSINGER INQUIRY _ Ex-Tory Cabine May Not Testify OTTAWA (CP) -- Reliable sources say Opposition Leader Diefenbaker and former mem- bers of his cabinet will not testify before the Spence in- quiry into the Munsinger affair if subpoenaed. Mr. Diefenbaker has already said publicly the Conservatives do not accept the terms of ref- erence of the inquiry, set 'up in the wake of sex-and-security charges in the Commons an at a press conference by Jus- tice -Minister Cardin. Conservative sources say that as a former prime minister and former cabinet ministers, Mr. Diefenbaker and his colleagues intend to refuse to testify, partly on the ground of their oaths as privy councillors. The Privy Council comprises mainly Paper Facing Libel Action MONTREAL (CP) -- A libel action claiming $1,300,000 dam-| ages was filed here Friday against the Toronto Telegram by lawyers for Willie Obront, Montreal business man, and Obie's Meat Inc. The action against the daily newspaper, filed in Superior Court, cites a report published March 22 based on the mem- oirs of Gerda Munsinger, ob- tained by the German maga- zine Neue Illustriete. jeabinet ministers and former lcabinet ministers. | The oath requires them to lkeep secret cabinet proceedings \and their actions in government matters. SET BY CABINET The argument is that only {Parliament itself could release them from this oath and the in- quiry was set up by the Liberal cabinet, not by Parliament. Mr. Diefenbaker told the Commons March 14: "We in Her Majesty's loyal Opposition do not intend to ac- |- cept the finality of the terms of reference, which in our opinion were not so framed as to place before the judge the allegations which were made in this House 'and in respect of which the judge is to make inquiries."

JAKARTA (CP)--An army- controlled magazine today called for the Indonesian gov- ernment to resume its seat at the United Nations. Indonesia walked out of the international body in 1965 in protest against the admission of Malaysia to the Security Coun- cil. The weekly magazine Trisakti said the withdrawal caused the loss of international friends and resulted in the isolation of In- donesia. It said the move was the re- sult of pro-Chinese Communist policies pursued by the then) aimed at the maintenance of peace and security. Anti-Communist and anti-Chi- nese demonstrations, which have rocked the country since the abortive Oct. 1 coup, are continuing in scattered parts of the archipelago.

(CP). -- Nine people died in a fire here early today. Provincial police said the dead included two adults and seven children. The fire broke out in the home of Joseph Judge on the Parry Sound Indian re- serve. Three other children were treated for burns, police said. Other details were scanty. A Mrs. King, first name grandmother to some of not known, believed to be the children and Mrs. Judge were believed taken to hos- pital in Toronto suffering from burns. Police said the children 'were from two families.

Thursday, Dow's fleet of| trucks picked up approximately 100,000 bottles of Dow ale and Champlain porter destined for disposal. Dow decided Tuesday night to bring in all its beer currently on the Quebec City market and destroy it with all brew in| stock and in production in its brewery here, to "-ontribute further to the official investi- link between these cases (the deaths of 16 middle-aged men in the last two months) and an excessive consumption of beer produced in our Quebec City plant.'"' Dow and provincial and fed- eral government investigators and independant consultants, have said, however, that no def- inite link had been established between the deaths, from heart attacks, and Dow products. A spokesman for Dow brew- ery said Friday all Dow em- ployees have kept their jobs at the same salaries as before pro- duction was halted. RAIL STRIKE IDLES THOUSANDS CHICAGO (AP)--The bigges and most damaging rail strike in 20 years markedly slowed the pulse of U.S. commerce to- day. It had made idle thousands of workers, delayed mail, halted food shipments and caused slow- downs in industrial production. An Associated Press survey indicated that at least 200,000 workers were either out of work or had received layoff notices. The automotive industry was hard hit. More than 100,000 workers were reported laid off on short shifts.

The post office reported back- SAIGON (CP) --Three thou- sand demonstrators carrying Sticks and steel spikes moved toward the centre of Saigon to- night shouting "Americans go home" and kicking and punch- ing western photographers. Riot troops and police were reported deployed to stop them. The demonstrators started milling around Buddhist head- quarters about 9:30 p.m., then moved off down the road. They jumped on two U.S. military jeeps that attempted to get through. A few minutes before the ban- ner-waving demonstrators be- gan slowly moving from the Buddhist institute, a senior monk told them the religious leadership has written to the military government asking a clarification of its views on the current situation. The demonstration appeared to be stage-managed by a mili- tant student group that organ- ized a similar demonstration Thursday. The appearance of sticks and spikes among the demonstrators indicated the situation might get as ugly as in August, 1964, when mobs took over Saigon for a week, The Saigon march developed a few hours after some 10,000 demonstrators, including 2,000 uniformed soldiers, paraded through the streets of Da Nang with signs criticizing both Pre- mier Nguyen Cao Ky's military regime and the United States.

Chieu is secretary-general of the ruling junta, ranking just behind Ky and Lt.-Gen. Nugyen Van Thieu, the chief of state. He was presumed to have headed back to Saigon. About 2,000 of the Saigon marchers swung off from the rest and moved toward Ky's of- fices. With them was a senior monk, Thich Thanh Lai. Word spread that other marchers intended to besiege the government radio station and possibly try to get on it with appeals to the public. Saigon police were instructed to block them off and the radio station was told to rig its facil- ities so that they could not be used by unauthorized persons. At Hue, some 5,000 troops, lice and civil servants pataded through the streets, Out Of Sight Safest Place DA NANG, South Viet Nam (Reuters) -- American person- nel were warned to stay out of sight today as thousands of people swept through Da Nang and Hue in demonstrations de- manding a change of govern- ment in Saigon.

The marines' experience was duplicated by the U.S. ist Ca- valry Division in a two-brigade search for a North Vietnamese regiment in the Chu Phong mountains along the Cambodian border. The 2nd Brigade of the 25th Infantry Division scouring 25 miles northwest of Saigon also failed to uncover any major be responsible for Americah lives and property. Ten thousand demonstrators marched through the streets of Da Nang for two hours today carrying banners demanding a change of government. Marchers included Buddhist monks and nuns, boy scouts and about 2,000 South Vietnamese soldiers, sailors and officers up to the rank of major.
