ill Pierre Trudeau

By ROD CURRIE

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau's
current Middle East trip, and
other unspecified journeys in
the planning, has done noth-
ing to-stifle suggestions that
he harbors ambitions to be:

come _ secretary-general *

thé United Nations.

*\ The backroom specula-
nn got public ~ attention
when Geoff Scott, former
broadcaster and. now ‘Tory
MP for Hamilton Wentworth,
said a couple months, ago that

“reliable sources” indicated _

Trudeau was a. prime can-
didate to succeed Kurt Wald-
“he 2im late next year.
; Scott now says, Tru-
sdeau's recent travel pattern
fits that scenario."
“: “Phe more he mounts

* the world stage, with trips to

Third World countries, the
less it does to dull specu-
lation. x

* Some observers scoff,

however, saying it’s virtually

impossible for a head of gov-
ernment from a NATO coun-
try ora Warsaw pact country
to get the job, One exception
was Trygve Lie back in 1946,
who came from Norway.
Still, Scott has raised the

« question with UN official!

without ‘naming Trudeau —
and says they. suggest that
while such a head’ ‘of gov-
‘ernment still in office might
have trouble, the way could

be-open to a former head of -

government,

So, in Scott’s view, ‘Tru.
deau could resign as MP and
PM and become “Joe Citi-

zen.” Meanwhile, he'd quietly -

‘campaign for the job, topping
it as host to the seven-coun-
try economic .summit here
next year.

Trudeau, in his only
comment, laughed off the
idea he wants to.be sec-

retary-general. But. cynics’

recall that a year ago, almost

to the ay. he also said he
didn’t want to be prime min-
ister any longer.

a whopping increase from the
