32 The Windsor Star. Thursday. June 29. 1972 PM's reaction AiJh 7s. j-m Infi Itra to rs No, they're Westerners Anthony Gilliland with his wife and one of their five children rotliers talk Gilliland into giving up By GUY DEMARIXO SNS OTTAWA Infiltration.

Si! Cubans, No! This was Prime Minister Trudeau's reaction to questions arising from a Toronto newspaper article Wednesday, alleging that Cuban spies have tried to infiltrate his office. If his office had been infiltrated at all, the prime minister said, it was by Western Canadians, not by Cubans. Indeed several key rnemDers of his staff are from the West, and especially from Alberta. They include foreign affairs adviser Ivan Head, legislative assistant Joyce Gillan, regional adviser Dave Thomson, and assistant press secretary Vic Chapman. Special assistant Gordon Gibson, who secretly arranged the prime minister's marriage, is from British Columbia, and only recently left the prime ministerial staff to seek a federal seat in that province.

No one, among the two dozen senior prime ministerial staffers, has any remote connection with Cuba not even a Spanish name. Mr. Trudeau treated Ihe whole matter with a noticeable tongue in cheek, first in the Commons when asked by Eldon Woolliams (PC Calgary North), and then outside the Commons, when asked by newsmen. He told the Commons he would look into the article's allegations "because we investigate all serious allegations anywhere." But concerning the alleged infiltration of his own office, he said, 4 'the most serious infiltration in my office thus far is by Westerners, and that is very very welcome." Orlando Castro Hidalgo no relation to premier Fidel Castro apparently defected to the U.S. in Europe in 1969, and has been aided by the Central Intelligence Agency.

He claimed that the Cuban Directorate of Intelligence is trying to infiltrate the Canadian prime minister's office, to sabotage U.S.-Canada relations and improve those between Canada and Cuba. He also claimed in the newspaper interview that the DGI set up a network of agents in Quebec to aid the FLQ and other revolutionary groups in Canada. DGI intelligence centres are said to be in Ottawa and Montreal. Castro was quoted in the article with summing up Mr. Trudeau "as a man who would stand up to the U.S.

and who would exert world-wide influence in his dealings with Cuba." Mr. Trudeau told newsmen he was flattered that someone would think so highly of him. "I'm glad when I'm recognized as a man who can stand up to another country," he joked. He added that "stories like this could have a great effect" on Canada-Cuba relations, but did not elaborate beyond saying the article will be widely read. Asked whether he would leave "a charge like the one made hanging in the air" Mr.

Trudeau replied "we can't control the press if they want to make a wild charge they can Solicitor-General Jean-Pierre Goyer, while making his share of jokes about "journalists and others" as possible infiltrators, said the RCMP will investigate the Castro allegations. One of them was that the RCMP's own counter-intelligence branch was singled out by the DGI for a possible infiltration. Castro, now living in the U.S. under an assumed name, named the first secretary of the Cuban embassy in Ottawa as being in charge of the Cuban espionage network in this country. The embassy, through its press officer, said no one there was interested in discussing charges made by an agent provocateur "in the pay of the CIA," and Mr.

Goyer refused to comment when asked whether the Cuban embassy had been investigated by Canadian security officials. $10,000 reivard too small Hijack loot 'cut' rejected PERU, Ind. (AP) A farmer who found and turned in $500,000 dropped by a plane hijacker refused a $10,000 gift from American Airlines Wednesday, indicating he thought the reward should be larger. Lowell Elliott, 61, who found the mail bag full of money in his field near here Monday, turned down the $10,000 cheque offered by Frank W. Bod-well, the Indianapolis district sales manager for American.

"I don't think I'll take it today," said Elliott, sitting in a lawn chair on his back porch, when Bodwell offered the cheque. "I won't get any more if I take Elliott added. Elliott was quoted by the Indianapolis Star as saying in a telephone interview he felt he should get five per cent of the $500,000 ransom money, which is $25,000. Elliott, reached by telephone, told a reporter: "It (the gift) looks like it ought to be worth more than what was offered for being honest." "After all, they gave that guy (the skyjacker) $500,000," he added. He said five per cent of the original ransom, or $25,000, would be acceptable, but "10 per cent would be better." Elliott said he would use some of the money, if he gets it, for his soybean and fertilizer bills.

Bodwell, after failing to deliver the cheque, said, "I don't know what happens after today." Bodwell, who was accompanied by two other airline representatives including a photographer, told Elliott: "I'm just delivering it (the cheque) for the company. It's a gift to you, but you don't have to take it. I'd take it while it is being offered to you." "We came cut of the goodness of our hearts," Bodwell added. When asked what he would do if the $10,000 offer is not made again, Elliott said: "Well, I guess I'm out of luck then, ain't He said he grossed about $7,000 a year from the 119-acre farm. Elliott's wife, who was on the back porch with her husband, said: "Well, we're poor people.

He's had a heart attack and that's the reason we thought it (the gift) would be worth more." She said her husband wanted to see a lawyer before accepting the cheque. The farmer found the ransom money which had been given a gunman by American early Saturday before the gunmen fell or parachuted from an American jet flying about at 10,000 feet. A sub machine-gun, pants and a jacket believed worn by the skyjacker have been located. He set up the barricade Monday to protect his wife and five children after shooting four horses from an adjacent riding club which he said were raiding his garden. One of the animals died.

The barricade was set up to prevent a land administrator from evicting him from the house and property, which are owned by the federal government. Michel Brunef, the land ad-ministrator, said Mr. Gilliland's lease expired in August. 1971, and he had never signed a new one. He said Mr.

Gilliland owed $500 in back rent in March, 1971, "and in fact never paid his rent." He said the house had deteriorated to the point keeping his family awake at night. The Montreal lawyer is a part-owner of the club. The conflict came to a climax Monday when several horses belonging to Mr. Masse strayed through a hole in the fence bordering the properties. It was then he shot the animals.

"If there's no law in this province, then I'll have to make my own," he told reporters. He admitted shooting the horses which, he said, have chased his children and run down his wife Carolyn, 31. "Last summer all my children had to eat were potatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day," he said. "This year, I wanted other vegetables for them corn, beans and carrots." unlawful discharge of firearms. As the inspector left the house Mr.

Gilliland shouted "never" but told police to start procedures to have the charges dropped. When his brothers arrived, they ordered reporters from the house and several meetings were held with Insp. Bellemare. Shortly before 3 a.m. his brothers emerged from the house and one told reporters to "go start working on another case, you bunch of vultures." The rifle was turned over to police.

The trouble with his neighbor began, he said, when a pack of hunting hounds from a nearby riding club began straying onto his land, killing his chickens and rabbits and fighting a rich man's conspiracy because he had heard that his neighbor, Montreal lawyer Andre Masse, wanted 60 acres of the land. Police said early today an investigation will be held into Mr. Gilliland's allegations. For three days he stationed himself at a second storey window with a rifle vowing to shoot the first policeman who set foot on his property. Earlier attempts by police to convince Mr.

Gilliland to turn in his rifle failed. Wednesday night, Inspector Raymond Bellemare Quebec Provincial Police talked to the man and said he would try to have charges dropped if he surrendered the rifle. He had been charged with cruelty to animals and STE. SCHOLASTIQUE, Que.

"It's the first we've ever heard of it," said a squad spokesman, ac'ding that he'd never heard of Orlando Castro Hidalgo who was idenified in the Toronto Star as a former Cuban spy. Hidalgo was quoted in the newspaper as saying the Cuban directorate-general of intelligence is trying to infiltrate the prime minister's office and has set up a network of agents in Quebec. "It sounds more like wishful thinking than anything else," said the Montreal spokesman.

Angela and other members of "Friends of the Earth," a conservation group with chapters in the United States and Britain, have been demonstrating daily outside the conference hall as part of an international save-the-whales campaign. "We haven't stirred too much interest here," Angela said. "There are few pedestrians passing by.

Anyway, Britons don't love whales like they do dogs. But slowly the word is getting around." LONDON (UPI) Angela Potter, 26, interrupted her conversation and glanced at her watch. "Okay, 12 minutes," she said to a friend. "Change the figures." Her friend flipped the last digit on a hand-painted sign outside the British government's international conference centre. The modern, 12-storev building is located a short distance from Parliament overlooking the Thames River.

"There's a whale killed somewhere in the wor'd every 12 minutes," Angela explained. The sign now read: "270 whales have been slaughtered while the IWC talks.

For the first time, a federal publication Wednesday referred to two female employees as Ms. the Women's Liberation terms which eliminates any reference to marital status.

The breakthrough came from an unexpected quarter the annual report of the Science Council and even took the council's top administrators by surprise. But Ms. Sandra Smart, the council's English editor, wasn't surprised; she had quietly inserted the Ms. title for herself and council librarian Frances Bonney. "It's insulting that women are identified by whether they have this human appendage, a husband," Ms.

Smart said in a telephone The Ms. title also avoids wasting of time attempting to establish a woman's marital status, Ms. Smart said, citing the recent decision of the Financial Times newspaper to use Ms. in its articles. Jim Mullen, the council's deputy executive director, admitted that the Ms.

title wasn't noticed in the report before it was spotted by a reporter. "But you could consider it an extension to our staff members of the same courtesies which we offer to members of the council in approving our descriptions of their titles," Mr. Mullen quickly rationalized. The victory is really only half-a-loaf for the Women's Lib movement. The French version of the council's report refers to the two employees as Madame Bonney and Mademoiselle Smart.

(AP) Arthur H. Bremer pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity Wednesday to state charges in connection with the shooting of Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace and three other persons. The plea was entered by Benjamin Lipsitz, lawyer for Bremer.

The 21-year-old Milwaukee man was not in the courtroom. An earlier plea of not guilty was entered for Bremer by the court at his arraignment May 30. Lipsitz said at that time he was not sure whether he would be able to represent Bremer here. Bremer also is under federal indictment in connection with" the shooting of Wallace at a May 15 campaign rally at a Laurel, Md. shopping centre.

He has pleaded not guilty to those charges. Insanity may be used as a defence but not a plea in federal proceedings. The state trial is scheduled to open here July 12 and the federal trial five days later in Baltimore. Lipsitz has made a motion to delay the state trial. i' my husband very much, but I'm not going to stand for all those dirty things that go on."
