The fourth forced his way into the store, taking grocer Fred Bar-| rett as hostage. | Mr. Barrett said the man appeared "'frightened" and was persuaded to give himself up after a 20-minute conversation with Const. Keith, Inspector H. C. Russell, su- perintendent of the RCMP in Newfoundland, said Const. Keith showed heroism in cap- turing the four men unaided. He said an RCMP officer "is loath to use his gun" and this probably was the reason the men were able to overpower Const. Keith.

SASKATOON (CP) -- Robert Walker says he installed a re- corder on his telephone while he was Saskatchewan attorney- general after he was offered a $300,000 bribe by a person he later believed to be linked with an international crime syndi- cate. He released a statement on the subject Thursday, one day after winning the Hanley con- stituency by-election for the CCF party by 800 votes over In- dustry Minister Herb Pinder, the Liberal candidate. He said any further details of the inci- dent must come from the Sas- katchewan attorney - general's department. In Regina, Attorney - General D. V. Heald said: 'I can't make a comment, at the moment be- cause I want to check out the statement and be in full posses- sion of the facts." The CCF government was fa rf eral election April 22, The Han- ley byelection was called after the seat was declared vacant under the Controverted Elec- tions Act because of irregular- ities in voting procedure. Mr. Walker said that during the byelection campaign the Liberals attempted to make an issue of a recorder he had in- stalled in his office while he was attorney-general, "I refused to become involved in controversy over the matter during the campaign because I believed that disclosure of cer- tain facts connected with it could have prejudiced the ad- ministration of justice, even this long after the recorder was in use. "The matter still is before the attorney - general's department and if any particulars are to be made public they should come from the attorney-general."' was a recorder, not a wire tap In the statement, Mr. Walker|on else's teleph as said the apparatus in his oftice| was inferred, and it was not ROBERT WALKER + « » put recorder on phone ousted by the Liberals in a gen- Opposed TORONTO (CP) -- Post- master - General J. R. Nichol- son, the federal minister re- sponsible for housing matters, said Thursday he is opposed to extending National Housing Act loans to all houses. Although the building indus- try and real estate boards have lbeen urging governments for lyears to make HA loans avail- able for all houses, Mr. Nichol- son told a press conference at a symposium on housing and urban renewal that he could |not support such a step. The loans are available on existing houses in urban re- newal areas. "Studded Tires Up To Court" TORONTO (CP)--The legal- ity of studded winter tires is up to a court to decide, A. G. McNab, deputy minister of the Ontario department of trans- port, said Thursday. Mr. McNab said in an inter- view officials of his depart- ment believe the tires -- fitted with tungsten carbide - tipped studs to improve traction on ice and.) snow -- damage dry roads and thus infringe Section 38 (2) of the Highway Traffic Act. They do not damage roads covered by snow or ice, A highways department engineer said representatives from the United States and Canada, including Ontario, will meet in Washington Jan. 12 to discuss the studs.

"Later communications--this time of a threatening nature-- were received by me, appar- ently from the same criminal interests, mailed from El Paso (Tex.) and San Francisco. There were no further attempts to communicate with me over my office telephone." CONDEMNS LIBERALS Mr. Walker condemned the Liberals for raising the matter during .the campaign.
