The guards were seized Tues- day night by nine mental-wing prisoners who threatened to pitch them down from the fourth tier of cells unless their demands were met by jail of- ficials. Roland Chabot, father of se- ven children, and Gaston Mon- nier, a bachelor, leaped nto firemen's canvas nets spread below when the prisoners' vi- gil momentarily lapsed. Both were taken to St. Luke Hospital, one with a dislocated shoulder and the other weeping from shock. Guards subdued the prisoners with tear gas and clubs and three prisoners wefe sent to infirmary. Jail Governor Albert Tanguay seid the rs grabbed one of the guards by one arm as he jumped and tried to haul him back up, but he struggled, they lost their grip and he plunged 5§® feet into.the waiting nets. WERE DANGEROUS The prisoners, all described as dangerous, were identified as Jean Poirier, Henri Lalonde, Francis Roland, Emile Royer and Normand Theroux, Fleming Sees Confidence In Economy WASHINGTON (AP)--Justice Minister Fleming told the Inter- national Monetary Fund today that Canada has restored con- fidence in her economy but the outlook is not clear enough to remove the import restrictions imposed last June 24. ating that Canada's of-' \icial reserves of U.S. dollars and gold, which fell to about $1,100,000,000 on that critical day in June, increased to $2,- 330,000,000 at the end of August, the former finance minister said: "While we are confident that our reserve position will con- tinue to improve, it is not to be expected that the high rate of improve ment experienced in July and August will continue." Others were identified only: as Toucette, Berini, Cloutier and Chartrand. | Tanguay said Theroux and Poirier apparently were the ringleaders. Lalonde is serving a life term for the murder of- his parents 10 years ago. Tanguay said the prisoners| jhad one knife among them. They grabbed the two guards ishortly after 7 p.m. on the third |floor of the mental wing and dragged them struggling to the fourth floor. "T and the prison psychiatrist tried to reason with them," Tanguay said, "but they wouldn't talk to us." The prisoners: demanded that Lucien (Frenchy) Jarraud be called into act as intermediary. json doctors and wanted more He is a disc jockey for the French-language radio station GMs. Jarraud talked to the men for two hours and relayed their de- TWENTY-SIX PAGES LESAGE SETS NOV.

They asked Jarraud to spend the night in the prison, and ar- range a meeting to iron things out. Fireme were asked to spread safety nets in ease the prisoners decided to throw the guards down. Just after 3 a.m. a few sec- onds after the nets were spread, the hostages saw a chance an dived over the railing. Oshawa woman was bilked out of $1,245) in cash Tuesday by a "smooth- talking" man on the telephone who posed as the manager of the Toronto-Dominion Bank on King street east. Oshawa Clearing House Asso- ciation warned today that per- sons representing themselves as bank officers, to gain depositors' confidence, have been making teleph calls, requesting a great deal of information re- garding bank account transac- tions, to fleece unsuspectipig de- positors of their savings... { The man phoned the woman four or five times and asked her co-operation in settling "some discrepancies in her ac- count at the bank. He asked the woman to help the bank apprehend a dishonest bank employee by going to the bank and cashing a cheque for $1,245 on her account, and she agreed. "When you come to the bank do not pretend to recognize me, if I am nearby, or anybody else, such as city detectives -- just keep quiet. Go in and cash the cheque and return to your home with the money and we will con- tact you there.

The bureau's publication, Ca- nadian Statistical Review, re- ports that between 1953 and 1960 foreign - controlled compa- nies valued at $25,000,000 or more in the fields of manufac. turing, petroleum,. natural gas Other foreign. countries, not} named, had control of 2.9 per cent of these companies in 1960, They had no control in 1953. In the $25,000,000 petroleum |and natural gas enterprises, Ca- nadian control remained at 19.2 |per cent in the 1953-60 period, while American control dropped to 69.8 from 80.8 per cent, and overseas countries moved in to control 11 per cent in 1960.

The woman went to the bank, cashed the cheque, and returned in a taxi provided ostensibly by the mysterious caller. The taxi had waited while she was in the bank.

Please give it to him," : FIREFIGHTERS BATTLE BLAZE While the woman was on the phone a man, posing as an offi- cial of the Toronto - Dorhinion Bank, appeared at her front door to claim the $1,245, which she turned over to him. The stranger on the telephone had inquired first about the number of cheques drawn on the woman's account so far this month. By shrewd questioning, he learned several other things about her account. SEEK INFORMATION An Oshawa Clearing House Association spokesman said the information these fleecers are seeking is information that real bank officers know. ee The spokesman said if the in- formation is. given, by some) other means a copy of the de-| positors' signature is obtained and used to withdraw sums of| money from bank accounts. | This operation has proven troublesome and costly in some areas and two recent attempts to swindle Oshawa bank deposi- tors have been prevented. But, the spokesman said, the fraudulent operators are still at lange and may try again. The OCHA has asked that bank depositors be careful of any information given over the telephone to anyone whose voice you do not recognize. It urges that if you are in doubt, inform the caller you will call back when you have the information and then only call back again if you know the number given to be correct by first consulting the telephone directory.

"The government has de- cided to ask the people of the province of Quebec for 1 pre- mandate to national. ize the electricity systems. of the province," said Mr. Lesage. The government, elected 27 months ago, feels, he said, that proper planning "demands na- tionalization of all 'enterprises which. produce power for pri- vate consumption." He then read to the press a list of the companies which the government would bring under public ownership if it is re- elected. The list included. the giant Shawinigan Water and Power Company.

Mr. Lesage said employees of these companies would become employees of Quebec Hydro and would not lose rank or acquired rights. Shareholders of the com. panies would receive fair com> pensation, to be "fixed by tak ing into strict account the legiti- mate interests of the sharehold- ers and the taxpayers. The compensation would be subject to final settlement by the court. 'Replying to a question, the premier said the cost of taking over the 11 companies will be about $600,000,000, another $250,- 000,000 in debts held by the companies would have to be as- sumed by Quebee Hydro.
