It was the fifth mammoth parade attended by Mao since the militant teen-age movement first appeared in mid-August. But the party leader did not speak -- Defence Minister Lin Piao, as usual, addressed the jparade on his behalf. A television commentator esti- mated that more than 1,500,000 people took part. The rally was broadcast and televised live. Mao appeared in good health and was seen talk- ing, animatedly waving his cap, walking quickly and moving up stairs unaided.

SHOOT TO KILL ORDERS... Quebec Police Nab Public Enemy No.1 MONTREAL (CP) Andre Daoust, Quebec's most-wanted criminal who had vowed never to be taken alive, was recap- tured early today < taken to hospital where several hours later he remained unconscious. A spokesman for St. Luc Hos- pital said his condition 10 hours after the midnight capture was "very, very serious." The spokesman confirmed a police theory that the fugitive swallowed poison in the west- end motel room where he was arrested after police fired four tear-gzas bombs through win- dows. IN A COMA Daoust was in a coma and the type of poison he took was not known, the hospital spokesman said. He declined comment. on his chances for survival Police had orders to shoot to kill if necessary to prevent the fugitive's escape. Daoust, 24; gave up about half an hour after police fired the tear-gas. He was armed but didn't fire a shot. He was taken immediately to police headquarters and then transferred to St. Luc hospital for a medical examination A hospital spokesman said at that time he was suffering from the effects of the tear-gas "and perhaps something else as well," The fugitive, described by po- lice: as. extremely dangerous, was serving a four-year sen- tence for a hank robbery in 1965 prior to his escape Staff Sgt. Bernard Desnoyers and 14 other members of the holdup squad surrounded the motel after receiving an anony- mous tip that Daoust was hiding there. Desnoyers said that once the men were in position, four tear- gas bombs were fired through the windows. "There wasn't any sound or movement for about half an hour and then we started won- dering if he was there or not," he said. _..

It was Daoust on the line saying he wanted to see a newspaper man I told him he wasn't going to see one "IT told him to throw his gun outside and come out with his hands over his head." Daoust threw the gun, a .357 magnum revolver, towards the window but it hit a ledge and bounced back inside, police said. However, Daoust came outside with his hands on his head. He taiked to police for a few min- utes before he collapsed. "Then 1. got ROBBED CREDIT UNION Daoust was serving a sen- tence in St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary for the $11,000 rob- bery of a caisse populaire (credit union) in suburban St. Leonard He 'last evaded police in Sep- tember when they descended on a summer cottage shared by the fugitive and three other men. Police said at the time Daoust may have been shot and wounded in an exchange of gun- fire during which one of Daoust's companions was wounded in the face. The wounded man and the two other companions were captured. Daoust, who had eluded police on five separate occasions since June, apparently had hurled himself down a slope after the cottage was surrounded and vanished into the bush. The convict first escaped June 16 while under guard in St. Lue Hospital near the federal pen- itentiary. He tad been trans- ferred to hospital for treatment of an injured hand. After eluding police in Mont- real, Daoust was arrested by RCMP in July in Bathurst, N.B, but he escaped from Gloucester County jail by slugging a jailer with a lead pipe. Last Aug. 19 police, acting on a tip, set up an ambush at a cottage near La Tuque in north- central Quebec. But Daoust shot his way out of the ambush in dense woods and escaped, In THE TIMES City Workers Okay Contract--P, 13 80 Attend Mock Inquest--P, 5 Gaels Manager Resigns--P. 8 Ann Londers--14 City News--13 Clossified--22 to 25 Editorial---4 Financial--20 Comics--27 Obits--26 Sports--8, 9, 10 Theatre--18 Weather--2 Whitby, Ajax--5, 6 Women's--14, 15, 16, 17 'cunning Now in its sixteenth day the Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest has raised $121,850 of the $345,875 objective.
