Liberal party strate gists used him for their own en ds the 81yearold former Progressive Conservative prime minister says in memoirs just published The memoirs covering Mr Diefenbakeis years as prime

said one of the prisoners Gordon Lussier who earlier had been described as ovcrcxcited calmed down and became more reasonable in his demands This was the key to the breakthrough he said at news conference following the incident The two prisoners Bertrand Janvier and Lussier were armed with sharpened bed post and homemade knife when they seized three guards on stairway after the after noon recreation period One guard identified as Cecil Lavrey was released by prisoners because he appeared to be suffering from shock The other guards both in their twenties were identified as Coyne after he refused either to quit or to change his public campaign for more austerity in government spending This ran counter to the official govern ment policy of heavy spending and big deficits to reduce

pronounce ments advocating opposite monetary policies to those in force were designed as political campaign against my government He said Coyne was in flexible to the point of being unbalanced on economic mat ters In mid1961 the government introduced controversial legislation to oust Coyne others will remain at Archam bault and the fate of the prisoner in hospital was still unknown Mr Lemarier said he refused the prisoners request for photographer but declined to give furt or details Apparent ly the prisoners wanted the public to be aware of their liV ingconditions Claude Poirier re rter on
