Evelyn Dick served 11 years of her life sentence She was a model prisoner, officials, s&id and played the role of an angel in a Christmas play in prison. After her release on ticket of leave Noy. 10, 1958, she began a new life and is believed living now in western Ontario. Donald MacLean served four' years and worked as a parking the Calgary Stock Exchange, sparked by interest in the hoid- ings of two small oil companies in the Rainbow Lake area of northwestern Alberta, reached a record 1,143,150 shares Tues-| day. The figure surpassed Mon- day's performance when 1,095,- 000 shares--highest since 1956-- were traded and the exchange had to shut down for one hour and five minutes to catch up with a backlog of orders. Interest has been focused on Leduc-Calmar Oils and Mon- terey Petroleum who had farmed out their leases in the Rainbow area to British Amer- ican Oil Co. Ltd. Interest has also been centred on Wainwright Producers, not listed on the exchange, but one of the companies which farmed out to B-A. Rumors of an oil strike by B-A on a site 17 miles southeast of the Rainbow field apparently triggered the heavy. trading. B-A has declined comment at this time. Tuesday's trading was "more orderly" than the hectic, "bunched-up"' activity Monday and trading had to be stopped for only 15 minutes said presi- dent Gordon Elves. OVER ALL IMPROVEMENT Although volumes of shares traded for the three oil com- panies slipped from Monday's totals, the effects of general trading were still buoyant enough to improve the over-all market, Leduc-Calmar opened at $1.20 a share Tuesday, reached a high of $1.26 and closed $1.10. The company's stock had opened at 66 cents last Friday, zoomed to 1.05 at Monday's opening, reached a high of $1.40 and closed at $1.30 Monday. Monterey Petroleum opened at $1.32 Tuesday, rose to a high of $1.35, then slipped to $1.15 at the close. The shares had opened at 72 cents Friday, jumped to $1.40 at Monday's opening and closed at $1.30 Monday. Wainwright Producers was re- ported attracting bids of up to $4 a share Monday, but since the company's stock is not listed by the exchange, Heinze Kaul, exchange secretary manager, said he had no idea what bids the shares drew Tuesday. Leduc-Calmar volume was 354,000 Tuesday compared with 388,000 Monday and Monterey Petroleum 179,000 compared with 189,000. Apology Is Made WASHINGTON (AP) -- James M. Roche, president of General Motors, apologized to a U.S. Senate committee today for any responsibility the auto firm had in the private - eye har- assessment of a critic of auto- mobile safety. Roche told the committee: "While there can be no dis- agreement over General Mo- tors' legal right to ascertain necessary facts preparatory to litigation . . . I am not here to excuse, condone or justify in any way our investigating' Ralph Nader, a lawyer and author of the book Unsafe at Any Speed. Roche said he had been sur- prised to learn that GM was in- vestigating Nader. "I have made every effort to obtain all the facts since learning about this two weeks ago," he said. He said to the best of his knowledge GM investigators had not exposed Nader to girls as sex lures, used recording de- vices during interviews, kept Nader under surveillance and other allegations | Roche said that as of Nov. 1 # last year GM was a defendant in more than 100 lawsuits in- volving some $40,000,000 in dam- -age claims relating to the de- | Sign of its Corvair cars of the | 1960-through-1961 models.
