Five of the dead guards were among hostages taken by pris- oners who smashed into the prison arsenal Tuesday in an abortive mass jailbreak. The prisoners surrendered Tate Tuesday night on the prom- ise they would not be harmed, but angry guards broke into the cells and opened up with sub- machine-guns on the convicts. The retaliation nearly touched off a gun battle between the guards and strong police forces called in to help stop the break. Judge Leopoldo Insurralde, who negotiated with the prison- ers, said the situation in the prison was under control. The break was reported to have begun when a hand gre- the main gate soon after mid- day Tuesday. Simultaneously, guards inside the prison were overpowered and held hostage and prisoners broke into the prison arsenal. Police said about 400 common offenders among the jail's 1,188 convicts--who include political and labor leaders as well as prisoners awaiting trial -- started an unsuccessful escape Board Reviews CNR Promotion Methods Used OTTAWA (CP) -- Transport Minister announced in formed a five-man committee to review advancement for French-speak- ing Canadians in the railway's administration. The announcement, greeted with applause from all parts of the House, stemmed from a de- cision taken by the railway at an executive meeting Dec. 13. The five-man committee headed by CNR President Doa- ald Gordon will review the "methods and procedures of evaluating' the railway's per- sonnel neéds. It also will seek to give French-Canadians all opportunities "to acquire expe- rience."' Other members of the com- mittee are board directors Guy Charbonneau and Jean - Louis Levesque both of Montreal, W. G. Stewart, Moncton, and W. C. Koerner, Vancouver. Lionel Ohevrier (L--Montreal Laurier) said' he was certain the committee would find out that present provisions for the advancement of French-Cana- dians are not adequate. He found the announcement especially significant in view of Monday's debate in the House when there was. "quasi unan- imity" among all parties on the need for bilingualism and bi- culturalism in Canada. NDPs Say Government Violates Rights Bill OTTAWA (CP)--The New Democratic Party has accused the government of violating the Bill of Rights on two counts. Harold Winch (NDP--Vancou- ver East) said Tuesday a man has been kept "in the hole"'-- solitary - confinement -- for 13 months in Kingston penitentiary because the authorities have a suspicion, but. nothing more, that he knows something about the slaying of a guard in 1961. "This is torture,' Mr. Winch told the Commons. He quoted a section of the Bill of Rights forbidding '"'the imposition of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment." The NDP member identified the convict only as Cochrane. For 13 months he had been kept in.a small cell without a decent bed--his bed is six inches off the floor--and without a table| or chair. "They are resorting to the torture of the hole to try to force a confession, whether it be good or bad, as the means; by which this man can get out of the hole," Mr. Winch said.| IN DORMITORY Earlier Tuesday, NDP Leader| T.

In reply to a police ultimatum to surrender during the after- noon, the prisoners threw two dead guards into the forecourt. Two wounded guards died in hospital. When Judge Insurralde of- fered to parley, the prisoners told him over a loudspeaker that 12 guards already had been) > killed. They said they would sur- render directly to him if the po- lice did not interfere. The prisoners later hung a guard by a rope from a fourth- storey window and stabbed him.| & Then they cut the rope, drop- ping him to the ground. A truce was arranged with Justice Minister Rodriguez Ga- lan and the prisoners released 20 guards they were holding as hostages. Unconfirmed reports indicated that at least four of the ring- leaders of the mutiny were killed, but that a notorious gangster Jorge Villarino, who 37 Men Die In Prison Gun Battle apparently opposed the killing of hostages, was spared. Orbit Signal Said Steady POINT ARGUELLO, Calif. (AP)--Transit 5-A, the guiding star satellite which rocketed skyward with a brilliance visi- ble for hundreds of miles, gave} out a steady signal from its polar orbit today. The signal will help ships and submarines more accurately de- termine their positions. The 140-pound satellite was the first of two space vehic.es launched from here within hours. A space probe was launched Tuesday night. The air force did not reveal the payload of the second or the nature of its mission. Transit 5-A is the first of a four-satellite network which by the end of 1963. should en- able. ships anywhere in the world to fix their positions quickly, in any kind of weather. Such information is particu- larly vital to Polaris-lawaching submarines which must know their positions precisely »efore firing missiles. SIU Launches Bid To Start Private Probe OTTAWA (CP)--The Seafar- ers' International Union of Can- ada (Ind.) has launched a bid to turn the public investigation of marine labor strife into a private inquiry whenever confi- dential information is involved. Keith Eaton, SIU lawyer, made the proposal Tuesday be- fore Mr. Justice T. G. Norris in objecting to questions about SIU loans to union officials and other. trade unions. The questions were asked by J. A. Geller, lawyer for Upper Lakes Shipping Limited, during cross-examination of Leonard J. McLaughlin, executive vice- president of the 14,000-member union. The SIU has disclosed that it made loans and advances to some of its own officials as well as to other unions, including the International L on gshoremen's Association and the Teamsters. Mr. Geller wanted to know the purpose of the loans and the details of repayment. Mr. Eaton said such informa- tion was regarded as confiden- tial by the SIU. He asked that the union be allowed to give the details at an in-camera ses- sion of the inquiry. At first Mr. Justice Norris over-ruled the objection but later agreed to hear further ar- guments from the SIU at to- day's session.

Col. Arthur Moulton, Salvation Army Manitoba commander, said Tuesday night he has "abandoned hope of any gov- ernment help in this project." "We didn't know of any po- litical connotations when we un- dertook to help these people. The Salvation Army is only serving to deliver the goods. "Unfortunately, now the gov- ernment is embarrassed be- cause we could have been called earlier with our organization ready tc help. Our motives at the outset were pure and they still are pure. This cannot be stressed too strongly." Col. Moulton was referring to a remark made by Citizenship Minister Bell in Ottawa Tuesday night in which he said his dep- uties in the field had told him talk of privation among the 760 Indians and Metis at Nelson House 'is being promoted for publicity purposes only." Mr. Bell said a suggestion by Col. Moulton that the federal government was prepared to un- dertake half the cost of an air- lift of supplies to the Indians was unfounded. He said the federal govern- ment has 'no intention whatso- ever' of taking part in the air- lifting of supplies to the reserve. Col. Moulton said the Salva- tion Army already has a train car full of goods ready to go north, Col.

Santa Claus Gang Hunt Stepped Up Const. Claude Marineau and De- nis Brabant. The first concrete clue to guide an estimated 4,000 police- men in their relentless investi- gation was the sketch by a po- lice artist of the bandit who es- caped from the bank by plung- ing head - first through a rear window. The drawing was made from descriptions of four witnesses, Also released were photographs of a man dressed in the Santa Claus suit worn by the gang leader and pictures of the ban- dits' getaway car, as well as the M-1 United States army rifle found near the crime. scene. Inspector Houle said police are trying to find out where the bandits bought the rifle. Rewards totalling $25,000 have been offered in the $125,000 holdup and killings. HUNT TWO MEN Police stepped up their search for two men wanted in connec- tion with other crimes and said they wanted to question them in connection with the St. Laurent incident. They are Jacques Lahaise, 31, identified by police as the man who escaped a police ambush in July when two men were shot to death. They were wanted in connection witha $60,000 holdup of a Montreal bank. The other man is Leopold) Desmarais, 38, who escaped) from Trois - Rivieres jail last month while awaiting sentence on a jewel robbery conviction.

He said a bulk supply of potatoes is being shipped by rail from The Pas, Man. In the House of Commons, Mr. Bell said that on hearing of the reported need, he told the In- dian affairs superintendent at The Pas to look into the situa- tion. NO URGENT NEED He said the official visited half the homes on the reserve and reported that while condi- tions were not the best, his re- ports "do not indicate that there is any emergency or that there is urgent need." Salvation Army Maj. Staniey Preece of Brandon, Man., fresh from a tour of investigation at Nelson House, disagreed that there is no dire need in the area, "They may not be (in dire need) according to government standards, but according to Sal- vation Army standards they need help and they are going to get it." He added that in spite of their meagre supplies of food, basic- ally a mixture of flour and lard called bannock, the Indians gen- erally are in good health.
