MRS.GASTON DULUDE A LUI DE FONTAINE Hostages held in BC prison NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C.(CP) — Fifteen hostages were on death row at the British Columbia Penitentiary today, held at knifepoint by three desperate prisoners The prisoners said they would kill the hostages, penitentiary employees, if their demands for safe passage from Canada were not met.“Fifteen of them are on death row right now," one of the prisoners told an intermediary.Meanwhile, prison officials were awaiting word from the federal government on what action would be taken on the prisoners’ demands for an army helicopter to carry them and the hostages to Vancouver International Airport.From there, the prisoners want to be flown to an undis- closed foreign country.The drama began shortly after 8 a m.PDT (11 a m.EDT) Monday when the three prisoners, all serving life terms for murder or attempted murder, turned routine interviews with their classification officer into a day-long, frightening ordeal for the hostages Andrew Bruce, 26, of Prince Albert, Sask., Clair Wilson, 25, and Douglas Tells of selling pet food to Quebec for table use MONTREAL (CP) — A truck driver told the Quebec Police Commission inquiry into organized crime Monday that he transported meat from an Ontario pet food manufacturer for resale to Ontario and Quebec retailers who sold it for table use.Leo Lacelle, who worked for Hull-area meat salvager Gerard Malette during 1970 and 1971, said carrion purchased from Keene Animal Food of Peterborough.Ont., went to a meat retail firm.Salaison Rivard Inc.of Rouyn.Que Mr Lacelle testified that some of the meat also went to several businesses in Ontario and meat dealer Ernest Lafortune of Pointe Gatineau.Que Chief counsel Rejean Paul said the names of the Ontario businesses that had dealings with Mr Lacelle would not be revealed since they are being investigated by police Mr Lacelle said the meat from Ontario was taken to a garage in East Templeton, Que , where the charcoal on it was removed and the meat repacked in unmarked boxes Meat coming from dead or diseased animals is required to be coated with charcoal to identify it as unfit for human consumption Meat salvagers are licensed to sell their product for pet food but not for human consumption Mr.Lacelle said he left Mr.Malette in 1971 to go into business for himself Evidence deposited with the inquiry indicated Mr l^acelle purchased 353,000 pounds of meat from various Ontario sources from 1971 to 1975 One of the firms whom Mr Lacelle said he did business with from 1970 to 1971 was a multi-million-dollar-a-year meat retail company in St.Jerome, Que , Gustave Paquin Inc Gustave Paquin, president of the firm, testified he had dealings with Mr Malette for several months in 1970 but said he did not know the source of the meat Mr Paquin said he was told Mr Malette’s meat came from a family-run slaughterhouse in Buckingham.Que., that he later found out was nonexistent He said he paid 40 cents a pound for it and described that as a “good price.” Mr Paquin said the meat he received from Mr Malette was in good condition except that once he received a 20.000-pound shipment that had to be returned since it contained charcoal Asked vChy he continued to do business with Mr Malette after having received such a shipment Mr Paquin said he did it to recover his money from that deal and to help Mr Malette.“I never bought or sold carrion,” Mr Paquin told the inquiry.DENIED LINK Under questioning.Mr Paquin also denied a statement by inquiry lawyers that he set up Argenteuil Meat in order to finance Mr Malette’s meat salvaging operation Mr Lafortune, president of Ernest Lafortune Inc.of Pointe Gatineau, also appeared before the inquiry and testified he sold salvaged meat to wholesale buyers in Ontario and the Quebec regions of Hull, Abitibi and Rouyn Another witness, Hughie McGovern, a truck driver who worked for Mr Malette, testified that in 1971 a Kingston, Ont , firm named Kingston Creamery was among Mr Malette's customers On one occasion, Mr McGovern testified, he accompanied Mr Malette and Mr.Lacelle to Callan der.Ont., to receive payment for a shipment to that firm He testified Mr Malette left the car to go to a nearby vehicle, among whose passengers he said was Arthur Burrett of Animal King Food of Peterborough, and returned with $20.000 in cash in a paper hag The inquiry continues Lucas, 20, both of Winnipeg, attempted to take 19 persons hostage in the classification area, just inside the prison’s main gate, where prisoners are assigned work and have access to personal counselling TWO RELEASED Two of those held were other prisoners and were quickly released One woman classification officer slipped away as the prisoners herded the hostages toward a fire-and-bulletproof storage vault, measuring about eight feet by eight feet About 9:15 a m., the 441 other resident prisoners were pulled from work details and locked in their cells.Later in the morning, the three prisoners released Bruce Innés, a classification officer who recently suffered a heart attack The remaining 15 hostages— at least three of them women— stood in the crowded vault with their hands over their heads while the prisoners held a knife, about 11 inches long—one of two knives they have—at the throat of a woman hostage and negotiated their demands through two lawyers Penitentiary director Dragan Cernetic told a news conference early today that Solicitor-General Warren Allmand would meet with officials of the prime minister’s office today to discuss the situation He said the prisoners’ only demand was safe passage out of the country but added that negotiations had to be held first with another country that would accept them The solicitor-general’s office and the external af fairs department were ex plonng this avenue, he said ALL WERE FED The prisoners allowed cold beverages and sandw iches to he brought in as the tern perature in the vault rose to about 30 C A chemical toilet was also provided The hostages were allowed to speak with relatives by telephone Monday night CIA Com m it tees WASHINGTON (AP)—Creation of a joint congressional committee to oversee the Central Intelligence Agency is among the 30 recommendations made by the Rockefeller commission to prevent future wrongdoing by the CIA, authoritative sources say.The commission headed by Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller also calls for the establishment of a separate organization within the executive branch to keep an eye on the CIA, the informed sources say.President Ford told a news conference Monday night the commission report on CIA domestic activities will be made public today, but evidence dealing with alleged assassination plots against foreign leaders will be kept secret.Views world food ROME (AP) — The immediate international food situation has improved but the world “is a long way from achieving food security,” the director-general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAG) said Monday.Adeke H.Boerma said at the opening session of a meeting of the FAQ’s governing council that “it seems increasingly probable” there will be good crops in North America.He estimated, however, that the world’s cereal stocks at the end of the 1974-75 season, excluding China and the Soviet Union, will be 100 million tons and “below minimum safe levels for world food security in the event of wide-spread crop failures.” Foreign fishing LONDON (AP) — Canada’s fisheries minister, Romeo LeBlanc, said Monday excessive foreign fishing off Canada's Atlantic coast has brought about “an economic and social disaster” for Canadian fishermen LeBlanc said he would press for a correction of that situation at a meeting of the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries which opens in Edinburgh today.Mock refugees BANGKOK (CP) — Thailand has refused to admit 108 shipwrecked South Vietnamese refugees brought here by the Danish freighter Svend Maersk, which picked up the refugees on the high seas last week.“We are not allowing them to land here because we have a policy of not accepting refugees,” a port immigration official told Reuters news agency Monday “They have to go with the ship that picked them up, wherever it goes.” The official said the refugees are in good condition Danish Embassy sources said the refugees had been picked up from a small wooden ship, whose pumps and engine had broken dow n and which was leaking, about 90 miles off the South Vietnamese coast last Thursday.United Nations refugee officials are trying to sort out whether the refugees will be repatriated to Vietnam or new homes found in another country Inside today BIRTHS & DEATHS CLASSIFIED COMICS EDITORIAL 10 FAMILY « FINANCIAL 9 SPORTS 4

Canada Ltd in suburban Longueuil The premier’s statement came after a two-hour meeting with represen tatives of Local 510, United Auto Workers union.Asked whether the violence plagued strike at the company, formerly known as United Aircraft, was definitely settled.Mr Bourassa replied: “I hope* so.At least there’s progress on both sides ” The strike is in its 18th month Dennis McDermott, Canadian director of the union, said: “We expect to sign a collective agreement within a few days.” The last stumbling block to a settlement was removed at Monday’s meeting when the union agreed to the principle of determining how many striking workers want to return to the job.Drafting of the collective agreement will proceed at the same time as a committee begins the head count, today or Wednesday, Mr.McDermott said Committee members were nominated by the Quebec labor department and approved by union and management.Mr.Bourassa said SENATOR NAMED Committee members are Senator Carl Goldenberg, Claude Ryan, publisher of Le Devoir, Bishop Bernard Hubert of St Jerome, Que., Monsignor Jean Marie Lafontaine of Montreal, former chaplain of the Confederation of National Trade Unions, Jules St.Pierre, treasurer of the Agricultural Producers’ Union, Father Jean-Guy Bissonette of St.Jean, Que., and Vincent Prince, editorial writer at La Presse The union previously de manded that 976 strikers be rehired while the company said only about 500 wanted to return Jean Marie Gonthier, president of Local 510, said the head count is “not at all a setback.’’ “We’ve never been opposed to a head count It’s just that the men had to know what they were going back to ” The simultaneous drafting of the collective agreement, containing points already agreed upon, will guarantee that workers have a clear idea of job conditions on their return, he said “There’s no more stumbling block to the signing of an agreement so it should be signed in the meantime,” Mr.Bourassa said The company has said it will rehire all workers willing to go back, he said No further in murder case MONTREAL Quebec* Police report no further developments in the murder case of Jean-Maurice Tringle His body was found by QPF agent Rosaire Berube of the Cowansville detach ment in a home on the St Joseph concession road, Dunham, at approximately 1 p m Sunday A dispatcher from the taxi company Mr Tringle worked

spokesman for the Cowansville guard’s Alliance told The Record it appeared to have been made at the Cowansville Penitentiary.QPF are still refusing to admit they are considering Benoit Roy and Dennis Pearson as prime suspects Pearson and Roy escaped from the penitentiary Thursday night An automobile bearing Mr Tringle’s licence plates was located on the South Shore here yesterday However his own car has not been recovered.Mr Tringle was 47, married and the father of seven children Morgen taler acquitted MONTREAL (CP) - Dr Henry Morgen taler, acquitted for the second time Monday on a charge of having performed an illegal abortion, demanded that he be released from prison ifnmediately.“I have been acquitted by two juries on two separate charges of abortion and I demand that I be released from prison,” he said from the prisoners’ dock “The people of Canada have spoken.” Dr Morgentaler was referring to his acquittal by a Quebec Superior Court jury in November, 1973, on a similar charge of having performed an illegal abortion The acquittal was reversed by the Quebec Court of Appeal and the reversal and an 18 month sentence imposed by the Appeal Court were upheld by the Supreme Court of (.'anada in February of this year Dr Morgentaler was serving the first sentence when the latest trial opened May 28 before Mr Justice Claude Bisson The seven men and five women of the jury deliberated less than an hour Monday before returning the “not guilty” verdict SEES TURNING-POINT Dr Morgentaler predicted it would have far reaching consequences and called the verdict “the turning point in the fight to change the abortion laws in ('anada.” “It is a verdict which will go to Ottawa and to Quebec (City),” said the 52-year-old doctor He appealed to Justice Minister Jerome ('hoquette to stop the “witch-hunt” against abortionists in Quebec.Dr Morgentaler is still facing five similar charges Crown attorneys said they would give serious consideration to the filing of an appeal.Milkshakes being tested OTTAWA (CP) Milkshake samples from fast food chains are being tested for bacteria in federal laboratories, Health Minister Marc Lalonde said Monday He said in an interview that i aspect ion of products such as milkshakes is a provincial or municipal responsibility but federal technicians are testing some chocolate milkshake samples to assist those

organization switch from pegging the oil price in straight dollars to setting it in terms of an average of leading currencies Analysts said such a move, if adopted, would mean that any future declines

colleagues Political freedom risks being lost MONTREAL (CP) - The president of one of Canada’s largest corporations warned that the continuing erosion of the free enterprise system is moving the country one step closer to the loss of political freedom In a staunch defence of free enterprise, David Collier, president and general manager of General Motors of Canada Ltd., told the Financial Executives Institute that businessmen must act now-“We in business should strive with constructive efforts to preserve and enhance the free competitive enterprise system ” If business continues to maintain a low profile and fails to tell the public about further encroachments on the public by government.the country will end up in serious trouble “I believe that the majority of the people of our two great countries ( Canada and the United States) are unwilling to lose their economic and political freedoms,” he said "What the people of our countries need to realize is that with the loss of a free First stage of new store opens food An ultra-modern, $5 million Provigo Food Distribution Centre in the Laval Industrial Park, north of Montreal, represents just the first stage in a three-phase project calling for a total investment of $10 million, a press release from Provigo states.Located near the hub of high-speed expressways linking the Montreal metropolitan area with the new Mirable Airport and major population centres, the 300,000 sq.ft.Centre can handle some $3 million worth of merchandise with automated ease and convenience.It occupies only a quarter of the 1,200,000 sq.ft.sites, providing ample space for Provigo’s long-range expansion plans.Phase 2, called Provichoix, is slated for an August construction start.This distribution centre for fresh and frozen meats will be a model of its kind in Quebec, handling vast quantities of meat in vacuum packed, boxed and pre-cut form.It will also include a smokeroom and facilities Business for preparing delicatessen products for home use.Opening is slated for 1976."Provifruit”, the third phase, is expected to start on the fresh produce distribution centre in 1977, and to have it in operation by 1978.The large capital expenditure planned for this complete project illustrates the great confidence which Provigo management has in the future of its food distribution and sales operations.PLEASING ENVIRONMENT More than 40,000 square feet of the Provigo grounds have been set aside for landscaping, with large areas of grass and flower beds attractively framing the buildings and the 232-car parking lot.Equal ooncem has been shown for> the interior appearance, with modern environmental office layouts featured in the administrative quarters.Partial partitions have been used instead of full walls, so each employee enjoys a feeling of spaciousness.Discreet music completes a harmonious environment highly conducive to work morale.Administrative offices occupy 30,000 sq.ft.of space on two floors The ground floor accommodates the Distribution Centre’s general offices, with finance and administration, data processing and printing on the second.Through Finance and Administration, clients are offered a programme of adm inistrative and management assistance, which will be expanded as new members are added.Management has provided for a complete data processing centre with ample capacity for future expansion, a necessity with a constantly growing company such as Provigo.This data centre is already partially in operation allowing Provigo to centralize all its activities and ensure a steady flow of data useful for decision making at all levels.Administrative offices are separated from the warehouse by a service zone which includes two cafeterias able to accommodate 140 people, a mini-clinic for first aid requirements, and other employee conveniences.choice, competitive market, it is only a step away from the loss of a free political choice society,” he said ELECTORATE UNAWARE He said the electorate, when faced with political rhetoric and attracted by promises of affluence, seldom are aware of the loss of individual freedom which government control causes.Society cannot function without government, he said, but there has to be more concern about the economic impact of regulation."Government today often tells business not only what it must not do, but what it must do, and—more than that— how to run business,” Mr.Collier said "Corporate responsibility becomes meaningless in that atmosphere.” He referred to the sentiment that the public- worker and consumer representatives and ecologists among others— should be included in corporate decision-making He said such participation would be "tragic for our free economy.” Business and industry must work diligently to improve the system."But, we should be gravely concerned when well-meaning people advocate intervention in the system, focusing upon their own narrow interests and ignoring the broader damage that their actions may cause to the freedom of the majority.” The present economic system depends on individual effort and choice, he said.A copy of Mr.Collier’s speech was released in advance.MAKE THIS A YOUNG

Sharon Tsukamoto, Lise Arsenault and Dave Stepper and distance runners Joe Sax and Donna Valaitis What’s more, he permits them to work only three or four hours a day Their working time is set up to accommodate their training schedule And when they go out of Toronto for a meet they know their jobs will be waiting regardless of how long they must be away.The girls run the switchboard, do some typing and filing and other odd jobs around the office.The boys work in the shipping department.KEPT QUIET While Esch would have preferred to keep the matter quiet, the athletes have brought it to public attention They say that without him they would either have to take jobs that would interfere with training or give up work and try other ways to earn enough for their university tuition “This is the first time I’ve ever been able to get a job in eight years of training,” said Lise.“And it couldn’t come at a better time because my parents are moving to South Africa where my father has been transferred.” “I worked in a restaurant last year,” said Donna, “but I would have gone from job to job this year if this job hadn’t come up.” Steeper said he also would have been forced to rely on a series of jobs.“Mr Esch is just fantastic,” said Sharon.“We all know that there’s not enough work to keep us busy all the time He’s just creating things for us to do to keep us employed ” Explaining his action.Esch said: “The thought occurred to me w hen I saw a television interview with athletes who said they couldn’t get jobs which would allow them to train properly.I thought it was so stupid to spend all those millions of dollars on facilities and relatively nothing on athletes.” TALKED WITH C OACH He got in touch w ih the Canadian Olympic Association and was visited by Imre Szabo, vice-president, and Paul Poce, national coach of distance runners.“Actually, I was prepared to make a donation but they suggested the athletes would rather work for their money.So I set aside $6,000 or $7,000 to hire a few of them and now I have five.I wish I could hire more because I’ve never been impressed so much by young athletes as 1 have by these five.” Esch said he wasn’t interested in publicity because his firm doesn’t deal with the general public.He added that he can’t understand why other firms don’t do the same thing “My God, if a company this size (125 employees) can hire five, surely other companies can do something.We have very strong unions in this company but the unions won’t interfere if you find jobs for them in other departments.Matter of fact, most unions would bend to help the athletes.“If we can do it, surely some other companies could come up with the $1,700 or so to hire a youngster.“The same people who won't do anything now will be the same ones to bitch when Canada fails to win medals at the Olympics.” LENNOXYTLLE (BP) The second week of Len noxville Women’s Softball League competition got under way Sunday with two games Clark s Pharmacy defeated

waiting for immigration people in two countries to sort out red tape that is preventing them from plying their trade in the United States.The U.S.immigration department has refused to issue work permits to Jim Cressman of London, Ont., and Abe Shapiro of Windsor, Ont., claiming there is no shortage of minor league officials in the U.S.Both men had been assigned to the Double AA Eastern League which has three franchise cities in Quebec—Thetford Mines, Trois-Rivieres and Quebec City.“I’ve appealed to the immigration department in both Boston and Washington,” said Pat McKernan of Pittsfield, Mass., president of the Eastern League “It’s still under appeal ” McKernan rated both umpires as major league prospects where no such restrictions would limit them.Two Canadian-born officials are umpiring in the major leagues—Paul Runge, a native of St Catharines, Ont., who moved to the U.S as a youngster and is a U.S.«Citizen, in the National League, and Jim McKean of Montreal in the American League McKernan said originally the labor department turned down the applications from Cressman and Shapiro, “ruling there is no shortage in their field in the United States.” “That’s when I appealed to the immigration department I was told they were also cutting down on the number of minor league players they will allow into the country.” He considerred using the two umpires at Eastern League games played in Canada, but rejected the idea There was a time when Dave Parker dreamed about playing baseball for Cincinnati Reds.Then he grew up and left town.A lot of the Reds' fans probably wish he had never come back “I always wanted to be a ballplayer,” Parker said Monday night after hitting a three-run homer that wrapped up a five-run first inning and started Pittsburgh Pirates on their way to a 9-2 win over the Reds In Monday night's other National League games, Los Angeles Dodgers blanked Montreal Expos 4-0, St.Louis Cardinals beat Atlanta Braves 5-4, Chicago Cubs defeated Houston Astros 4-3 in 10 innings, San Francisco Giants beat New York Mets 5-4 and San Diego Padres defeated Philadelphia Phillies 8-3.It appears that, as far as Parker is concerned, if you can’t be one of the Reds, it’s nice to beat them.“It’s Mixed order batting doesn't hamper win Minnesota Twins had their batting order mixed up while Texas Rangers had their schedules mixed up Monday night.Both teams won anyway.Danny Thompson and Dan Ford batted out of order for the first nine innings of Minnesota’s 11-10 triumph over Cleveland Indians because Twins manager Frank Quilici gave the public address announcer a different lineup card than he gave home plate umpire Lou DiMuro Nobody on the playing field noticed the error until the ninth inning, when some exasperated Cleveland fans began yelling to DiMuro “I did notice the crowd yelling in the ninth, but I wasn’t sure why,” said DiMuro “Even if I did notice it, I couldn’t have said anything about it because the home team is supposed to mention it ” Meanwhile, the Rangers mistook their game with Boston for batting practice, hitting four home runs— giving them seven in two games—in a 12-4 rout of the Red Sox Elsewhere in the American League.Oakland A s beat Baltimore Orioles 4-3 in 15 innings.Kansas City Royals defeated Detroit Tigers 5-2, Milwaukee Brewers beat Chicago White Sox 1-0 and California Angels defeated New York Yankees 5-3 “I just followed the little redheaded guy like I’ve been doing for the past week and never thought anything about it,” said Thompson, who should have preceded Ford to the batter’s box at Cleveland He finally did.in the 11th inning, and drove in Eric Soderholm with the winning run The Twins had trailed 10-6 at one point, but rallied for four runs in the ninth inning to force the overtime.Jim Sundberg hit a grand slam homer for Texas in the second inning, Jeff Burroughs hit his 14th of the season and fifth of his last six games in the third, then Toby Harrah and Jim Spencer added two-run homers in the eighth to com plete the rout The Red Sox runs came on Bernie Carbo’s second career grand slam Vida Blue, not one to waste effort, came out of the bullpen in the 15th inning, threw one pitch and preserved the Oakland triumph Joe Rudi’s single had chased home Bill North with the winning run minutes earlier But the A s were not out of the woods until out of the bullpen came Blue with two outs and a runner on second It was his first relief ap-*arance since 1972 always nice coming home and beating the Big Red Machine,” he said Pitcher Fred Norman was the victim of the early Pirates attack Rennie Stennett singled.A1 Oliver singled, Willie Stargell walked, Richie Zisk hit a two-run single and Parker-unloaded his eighth homer of the year NORMAN REPLACED Rawly Eastwick took over from Norman and stopped the Pirates until the fourth inning when Stennett singled, Oliver singled, Willie Stargell hit his ninth homer of the season and Zisk topped things off with his third homer Pirates’ pitcher Jerry Reuss recorded the win The Houston Astrodome nearly suffered a first—a rainout.Instead.Houston suffered through its ninth consecutive defeat, the result of Jerry Morales' tie-breaking double in the 10th inning for the Cubs.The game was delayed 54 minutes by a torrential downpour that flooded roads around the indoor stadium, causing both fans and players to be late, and knocking out commu nications at the ballpark Los Angeles pitcher Andy Messersmith struck out 12 Expos en route to a four hitter and his second consecutive shutout Ted Simmons ruined pitcher John <
