flares up —
over bribes

VANCOUVER 1D) Tempers
flared Wednesday and an en-
raged provincial cabinet minister.
offered. to give up his portfolio
if it could be shown he had

 

 

“made as much as -50: cents in}:

the way of a bribe.” ;

It. added up to.a lively day
at the opening sessions of the
three-day truck’ loggers conven-~
tion—highlighted when an angry
Forests Minister Ray © Williston
flung aside. a. prepared speech
to answer charges that ‘money.
talks” in the operation of his
department.

The. atlegation of bribery was
laid: before 1,200: delegates and}.
guests of Gordon Gibson, former
Liberal: member ofthe legisla~|

~ture, In‘ an attack on: tree farm }
/ licences, ,

, NEY E R. BRIBED.

“After hearing the. charges,
Mr... Williston, almost incoher-
‘told the log-
gers he had never been offered
a: ‘bribe: since taking office.

SE ‘anybody, anywhere, can
> show ‘where I, since 1956, have
as. much as 50. cents:
in the way of a bribe, a hand-
ding; <a recommendation. or
‘anything: else in: the: adminis-

tration “of my. office, then IN |

“vive. Those who. hold licences

are “not. playing the game fair”
“over-ambitious

look after our rights instead are
selling us down the: uriver.”
MILLIONS |.

He sald most ‘1orest manage-
ment lMcences have been sold|}-
since the first holders got them
and millions. of dollars. have
beon made tax free. “Money still
is talking today.’

During a debate on the gov-
ernment’s Trades Union Act—
originally ‘known as bill ~ 43—
Gordon Dowding, CCF member
of the legislature, for Burnaby,
and Pat O’Neal, secretary of the
B.C. Federation of Labor, CLC
agreed the bill was “W]1-concelved,
4ntroduced in-a panic’ with no
real consideration for the real
cause. of breakdowns in meus
trial: relations.”

In opposition, Richard A, *Ma-
honey, @ management research
oxpert, and lawyer John =H.
Bourne contended it was falr
legislation almed at making un-
ions -responsible for thelr ac-
