A spokesman for the Canadian Transport Department confirmed today that Andre Bellefeuille, who enjoyed a brief notoriety last October as the self-proclaimed head of a Canadian Nazi party, had gond quietly back to work as a draftsman in Quebec. The spokesman added that the Department was not planning any action against Bellefeuille arising out of the Nazi episode.

Bellefeuille appeared on a nationwide Canadian television program and boasted of an active Nazi party which he led. Subsequently, he publicly apologized for the statement and announced he was dissolving the group.
