Pelletier was not in the Commons Tuesday. Mr. Trudeau said that Mr. Pelletier will have a different portfolio after the next election a remark the prime The negative comments were unusually candid for Mr. Trudeau, who has steadfastly defended other ministers caught in blunders.

The prime minister went a surprisingly long way in placating those angered by the incident, placidly accepting the rebukes hurled at him from the opposition benches in the process. He promised that all future July 1 celebrations organized by his government would be bilingual and multicultural in nature, reflecting the realities of Canada.

New cabinet by Thursday But the move came as a surprise, since it was not expected that Cha-ban-Delmas would leave his post before France's legislative elections scheduled for early next year.

Pompidou was expected to appoint a new premier during the day and that a new cabinet would be formed Thursday. Chaban-Delmas has heen under fire from both the opposition and from within his own party following allegations that he had underpaid his taxes for several years. Several names were being mentioned as successors, including Education Minister Olivier Guichard, Minister for Overseas Territories Pierre Messmer, and Posts Minister Robert Galley. Chaban-Delmas' government was formed June 22, 1969, and was reshuffled and enlarged 1971. Weighted with Gaullists The three-party coalition was heavily weighted with ministers drawn from the Gaullist party, the Union of Democrats of the Republic.

Chaban-Delmas, a staunch Gaullist who had joined Gen. Charles de Gaulle in the Second World War resistance to the Nazi occupation, had come under fire recently for taking advantage of income tax loopholes. Criticism for a series of real estate scandals and for alleged mismanagement of the state-run radio and television networks had also appeared to cloud his future.

1 1 II' 7 -r uV-' i I 1, -J- MONTREAL (CP) Secretary of State Pelletier Tuesday expressed surprise when informed that he would have a new portfolio after the next election. "It's news to me," the state secretary said when asked to comment on Prime Minister Trudeau's statement in the Commons made in response to criticism of predominantly French-language July 1 celebrations on Parliament Hill. The prime minister told the House he thought that "after the next election Mr. Pelletier will have a different portfolio." Asked to comment, Mr. Pelletier said: "I don't know.

He made this statement?" He said he would not mind a change, and would welcome appointment to any post but that of finance minister. "You've had enough" "I think that when you've spent four mandates in any department, you've had enough and people have had enough of you." What he wanted to get into now was an election. Asked about the concert on Parliament Hill by Montreal pianist Andre Gagnon, who apologized for being able to speak only in French, the state secretary said: "I don't mind recognizing that it was a mistake. The opposite has taken place so very often, I don't think anyone should try to make a tempest in a teapot with this." But he said the performance "was unilingual only for people on the Hill." He said the show was translated into English for the CBC's English network. "I suppose they thought that they could put the feed from television on the public address system on the Hill, and this apparently was not possible."

This measure would help an individual who, fearful of reprisals against his testimony, could speak confidentially with the commission without having his name mentioned; Accept written testimony from persons residing outside the province who might fear returning to Quebec if their lives are endangered. The justice minister said he is confident the new powers would make the planned crime commission's inquiry "much easier and more effective."

MONTREAL (CP) The stalemated St. Lawrence River dock dispute was dropped back into the federal government's lap Tuesday after striking longshoremen in Montreal gave only a qualified yes to the government's take-it-or-leave-it proposal. The Maritime Employers Association and dockers in Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres voted at meetings Tuesday to accept the proposals to end the seven-week strike hammered out during the weekend by federal labor department experts. But the Montreal local of the International Longshoremen's Association voted to send the proposal back for modifications.

In Ottawa, Labor Minister O'Connell said the government's next move would be announced later today. He said the Montreal dockers wanted withdrawal by employers of court action against the workers and a specified date for re-implementation of job-security provisions contained in the existing contract. Bernard Wilson, the deputy labor minister who spent the weekend trying to bring the two sides together, said his proposals called for the job-security provisions to take effect Oct. 15. Govt, prepared The two sides had until Tuesday night to reply, but Mr.

O'Connell said earlier that that did not mean the government is committed to special legislation if either party rejected the proposal. Aside from job-security provisions, the government proposal called for lifting by employers of all suspensions of workers and payment of vacation pay "as soon as possible," Mr. Wilson said. The proposal also called on the union to accept the arbitration decision of Judge Alan B. Gold who last week ruled the strike violated terms of a contract between the MEA and the ILA.

The decision would be subject to right of appeal.
