Police file Trudeau meets leader MOSCOW (AFP-CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau said after’ a meeting with Kon- stantini Chernenko today that the new Soviet leader alluded several times to the need for East-West detente. The only conditions Cher- nenko posed are that East- West dialogue be conducted Castlegar RCMP are in- vestigating a Monday break- in at a local house.

Police say there were no injuries in any of the acci- dents. as equals and that there be no dialogue just for the sake of dialogue, Trudeau told a news conference. During his 30-minute meet- ing with the new Communist party general secretary, the most powerful post in the Soviet Union, the Canadian leader said Chernenko talked about the need to reduce the nuclear threat and reduce significantly the number of nuclear arms. But he said Chernenko made no reference to past East-West differences and refrained from direct crit icism of the NATO deploy ment of U.S. intermediate- range nuclear missiles in Western Europe, which foreed the Soviets to break off the Geneva arms talks with the United States.

He said Chernenko is a “solid . . . realistic . . . pi tical man (who gets) straight to the point. “Practical is a word which came back often during the meting,” Trudeau said. Referring to his own East- West peace initiative, based on the idea of a conference among the five nuclear pow. ers — the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain, France and China — Trudeau said the “first cycle is over,” but that there is no answer how things\may develop in the coming months. The prime Minister said Chernenko reacted favorably to his proposal for a\ five- nuclear-power summit, but no specific dates_wére dis- cussed and a_ U.S.-Soviet summit was not proposed by either the Canadian or Soviet side, although Chernenko said would welcome a meet- ing with other world leaders. Trudeau had previously visi- ted all other major countries concerned with his initiative. Trudeau, who now returns to Ottawa, said Chernenko, accompanied at their meeting by Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, used no stalling language on a_possible re- sumption of East-West dis- armament negotiations. He did not, for example, say such a resumption would have to wait until after U.S. presidential election next November, Trudeau said. Trudeau had met Chernen- ko for the first time Tuesday during a brief encounter at a reception following the fu- neral of Chernenko’s predec- essor, Yuri Andropov. Also on Tuesday, Trudeau held talks with other foreign leaders, among them Cuban President Fidel Castro, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Swedish Prime Minister Olaf Palme and Pakistani President Zia ul-Haq. The subjects they discussed were not disclosed. ‘Spy’ operation angers Mulroney OTTAWA (CP) — Op position Leader Brian Mul- roney today condemned as “base and venal” a covert in- tellence operation mounted in the Prime Minister's Office and said to be aimed at find- ing embarrassing informa- tion about the Conservative leader. “This is a sad day for all Canadians that our funda- mental traditions of decency and good conduct have been violated in this way,” Mul- roney said as he entered a Progressive Conservative caucus meeting. The Conservative Oppo- sition will ask the Commons to refer the issue to the House committee on privi- leges and elections, a spokes- man for Mulroney said. Other options were to be con- sidered in the caucus meet- ing. Mulroney, visibly angry at the report that the Prime Minister's Office hired spec- ialists to investigate his ac- tivities before he became party leader, compared the incident to the Watergate scandal in Washington in the early 1970s. ‘I thought . . . that never in Canada would this nation be reduced to conduct so base and so venal,”~Mulroney told reporters. The Tgronto Globe and Mail ‘ted today’ that Prime Minister Trudeau's of- fice enfployed two people at taxpayers’ expense to get in- telligence on Mulroney from the U.S. Securities and Ex- change Commission and to check into his background in Quebec as president of Iron Ore of Canada Ltd. David Crenna, an official with Trudeau's office, con- firmed in an interview with the newspaper that he visi- ted Washington last fall and returned with hundreds of pages of material about Mul roney and Iron Ore Co.

The popular news media, which feed on royal scoops, had dropped the sub- ject after a rash of premature speculation last year. The rumors began in May, when they stole the limelight from Prime Minister Mar- garet Thatcher's re-election campaign. One tabloid said the prin- cess was showing “a touch of extra tummy” and Charles television offered advice for expectant mothers.
