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.

As for the health de- partment, it issued an annual. report listing spending of more than $7.3. billion for three public pension plans — a whopping increase from the previous year. The figure should have been $6.3 billion and when a reporter pointed out the error, a spokesman said the department would try to get it fixed before other copies are distributed.

He wasn't amused. And, for the record, he did not say ‘What's a billion?”
