H. Carson said today at a BM sion hearing. She was not further identified by Mr. Carson. Mr. Carson also said a Mr. Levesque has been asked to ap- pear if he wishes. Neither was he further identified. Mr. Carson made the disclos- ures during argument that com- mission counsel J. L. O'Brien had made public Monday state- ments from RCMP security files which former prime minister Diefenbaker. and former Conser- yative justice minister Fulton who is conducting the one-man inquiry, said he was "utterly astounded" that portions of statements in the RCMP file on Gerda Munsinger have ap- peared in certain press articles. He said the press information could only have come from reading or being told about con- fidential exhibits marked top se- cret placed before the commis- sion. "T don't want another secur- ity case," the judge said. "There probably will be an- other if things keep leaking in this way." WATCH SECURITY Mr. Justice Spence said Mr. O'Brien had made a statement about Mrs. Munsinger's back- ground with a careful eye on security. But some press articles had given more information than Mr. O'Brien had, "T object to these breaches of the security curtain,'"' the judge said. E. A. Goodman, counsel for former Consevative trade min- ister George Hees, asked that the script of Mr. Hees' secret testimony last week be made public. He also asked that two clauses in an RCMP document referring to Mr. Hees also be made pub- lic. Mr. Justice Spence agreed to the request. There was no indi- cation when this transcript would be available. SET CONDITIONS Mr. Carson said the commis- sion had agreed to make avail- able to Mr. Diefenbaker and ,|Mr. Fulton copies of the tran- script of the secret proceedings April 6 as long as they did not disclose the contents to anyone or make copies for themselves. He said Mr. Diefenbaker and Mr. Fulton had declined to take possession of the transcript on these conditions and that they therefore have not had the tran- script. Mr. Carson said that Mr. O'Brien on Monday at an open hearing had summarized what had taken place in secret Ap- ril 6. The result was that the pub- lic through the press had been given a full account of matters that Conservative counsel re- garded as confidential. In effect, the public had been given full information about three RCMP reports on Mrs. Munsinger at a time when Mr. Diefenbaker and Mr. Fulton could not discuss them with any- changed remarks in a receiving Vatican sources said it was The Pope gavé Gromyko a gold medal commemorating the Vatican ecumenical council and five volumes reproducing anci- ent maps in the Vatican ar-> utente 4 Justice Wishart Spence,' myko they discussed to the UN and The likely govern- were raised. myko There was no report that Gro- gave the Pope a gift.

Mr. Carson said that under the circumstances Mr. Diefen- baker and Mr. Fulton declined to take possession of the docu- ments subject to any conditions. RCMP Commissioner George G. McClellan and his predeces- sor, Clifford W. Harvison, are scheduled tc testify at the in- quiry today. Justice Minister Cardin has stated that two or more Con- servative cabinet ministers were involved with Gerda Mun- singer and that former prime minister Diefenbaker "mishan- died" the case when it 'was brought to his attention. Chief commission counsel J. L, O'Brien told the inquiry Mon- day an RCMP security file states that Mrs. Munsinger was a common prostitute, petty thief, bad-cheque artist and a onetime Communist spy who had an "'illicit sexual relation- ship" with Pierre Sevigny when he was Conservative associate defence minister. He said the file also states that Mrs. Munsinger was on a first-name basis with George Hees, former Conservative trade min ster, and with an ex- ecutive assistant to a cabinet minister. Commissioner McClellan, who testified last year at the Dorion inquiry into influence-peddling in high Liberal ranks, is said to want to complete his testi- mony today so that he can leave for Europe Thursday on a month-long, undisclosed work- ing assignment. Commissioner Harvison was RCMP chief in December, 1960, when a police report was sub- mitted to then Justice Minister Fulton on the Munsinger case.

Two factories were also seri- ously damaged by the quake, the strongest to hit Tashkent for almost a century. The quake registered 7.5 points on a 12-point seismic scale -- which is described as "very strong" in Soviet: refer- ence works--and was centred about three to six miles below the city. Soviet Culture Centre Closes JAKARTA (AP)--The Soviet cultural centre in Jakarta closed today in the face of stu- dent pressure protesting a Lenin exhibit. Armed students who had been blockading the two-storey build- ing since Tuesday were with- drawn. About 30 youths from Kami, the university students' action front, had surrounded the building to keep Indonesians from seeing the exhibit honoring Lenin, the father of Soviet Com- munism. The government withdrew troops who had been sent to guard the building after irate students had threatened to at- tack the centre.
