(AP)-- Two workers entering the Ham- mermill Paper Co, plant almost collided with 39-year-old Leo Held as he strode out with an emptied pistol in each hand. "What's going on?" they asked him. "The lights just went out," was his reply. For the six persons slain in the laboratory technician's 90- minute reign of terror Monday, the lights were out. Six others were wounded, three critically. The words were the last known to be uttered by Held be- fore he was struck and criti- cally wounded by four police bullets in his backyard in Lo- ganton, about 17 miles from here. District Attorney Allan Lugg said Held, who underwent three hours. of surgery for wounds of both wrists, a leg, an arm and a shoulder, had not uttered a word since his capture. PUZZLED AT SHOOTING Lacking an explanation from Held, the district attorney, fam- ily, friends and relatives of the victims were unable to explain what, caused "a quiet peaceful man, devoted to his family" to embark on a bloody rampage. "It doesn't make any sense to us," said Mrs. Alice Davenport of Woolrich, whose husband Richard, 32, was shot dead in the paper mill where he was a quality control supervisor. Eyewitnesses at the plant watched, frozen by shock, as Held fatally shot Davenport and four others and wounded four more employees. They said Held, a known gun Brunswick's first woman member of the legislative assembly in the province's election Monday. --CP Wirephoto Pearson Faces Confidence Test OTTAWA (CP)--The minority Liberal government faces a test of confidence tonight on re- sources policy--or the lack of it. Opposition MPs gave the gov- ernment a grilling in the Com- mons Monday, charging a lack of government action to ensure that Canadians get full value for the natural wealth in the nation- al treasure chest. Alvin Hamilton (PC-- Qu'Appelle), resources minister in the Diefenbaker Conservative government, introduced a mo- tion of non-confidence during a Commons supply debate. It calls for the government to "state immediately its policy on national resources and clearly set out its intentions and objec- tives generally" on natural gas, oil, hydro-electric power, ura- nium, water, forestry, agricul- ture, fisheries, human resources and "the extent to which pollu- tion is endangering any or all of these resources." New Democrats tacked on an amendment calling for immedi- ate government action to cope with air and water pollution, 'including appropriate national standards and any necessary amendments to the Criminal Code of Canada." CASE FORTIFIED To fortify their case, many MPs zeroed in on a timely issue --a natural gas contract that is at stake in current National En- ergy Board hearings in Vancou- ver, Before the board is a pro- posed contract between West- coast Transmission Co, Ltd., a Canadian firm, and El Paso Natural Gas Co. a United States distributor. Westcoast initially won board approval for sale of 200,000,000 thousand, rising by one cent every five years for 20 years. However, the board's U.S. Commission, rejected this price and told El Paso not to pay now is seeking to have the board approve the contract at the lower price. Mr. Hamilton and other oppo- sition speakers termed this price insufficient for one of Can- ada's natural resources. The Conservative MP said the U.S. agency is "interfering with the prices, which means in es- sence that they are claiming the right to set gas prices for the U.S., for Canada and, I suppose, for Mexico as well." REACHING HIGH NOON "We have now reached high noon. . . . This is the old Ameri- can west shoot-out. - The good guy has to decide whether he steps out into the wide street to shoot it out." Mr. Hamilton voted for the showdown. The U.S. should know that if it got into a fight with Canada over energy, it had no bargaining power. By 1970 the U.S. domestic supply of nat- ural gas would be gone. Energy Minister Pepin said the government would not ex- press an opinion on the pro- posed contract until after the board made its decision. Under cross - examination by Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Pepin said he stands on the National En- ergy Board Act. The key ques- tions were higher exports are available in specific amounts and whether the price is accept- able. The board must make its de- cision, then the government "will have to take its own res- cubic feet of gas at 31.33 cents a ponsibilities," said the minister. Drastic Reform For Presbyterian Synods WINGHAM, Ont. (CP)--Pres- byterian synods are antiquated and in need of drastic reform, a special committee of the Hamil- ton-London Synod has decided. The committee - will recom- mend to the synod's 94th annual meeting here today that it re- quest the church's general as- sembly to form a committee to study all courts of the church. The committee has concluded there is widespread discontent with church courts and their function, and that some court RULE CHANGED LOS ANGELES (AP)--The 'Los Angeles Board of Education has changed its rules to allow Jewish teachers to stay out of school during their high holy days. To avoid any church-state conflict, the rule says only that teachers may have emergency leave for any "'significant event, personal to the employee." A school spokesman estimated that 10 per cent of Los Angeles' teachers are Jewish. CARIBBEAN TWO WEEK HOLIDAY Every Saturday by Alr Conede charter flight, as of Jan. 6th (everybody can join).

The discontent cited by the committee was evident at a de- bate and group discussions here Monday prior to the official opening of the synod. Delegates debated a resolu- tion synods be abolished. Rev. G. L. Royal of Goderich, retiring synod moderator, said following a meeting of the com- mittee he is sure delegates will support the committee's find- ings.

He then walked from the build- ing firing random shots into of- fices as about 50 fellow employ- ees watched from hiding places behind machinery and desks. Held then drove to Piper Air- craft Corp. at Lock Haven air- port where he shot and wounded Mrs. Geraldine Ramm, a mem- ber of a car pool which had dropped him about three months ago because of his al- leged reckless driving. SHOT NEIGHBORS The paper mill technician's next stop was the home of his Loganton neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Quiggle, where, po- lice said, he broke in and shot the pair while they slept. Quig- gle was killed and his wife criti- cally wounded. By that time, police caught up with him and the chase ended in a field behind Held's home. Police said they had no mo- tives for the shootings. Police had considered that an- imosity towards members of the car pool might have led to the shootings, but only two of those shot were in the pool--Mrs, Ramm and David Overdorf, 27, who was wounded in the plant. The dead included Davenport and Quiggle, Donald V. Walden, 31, of Lock Haven, paper manu- facturing superintendent; Car- man H. Edwards, 62 of Mill Fall, superintendent of wastes and bacteriological control; Elmer Weaver, 37, and Allen Barrett, Jr., 45, both lab em- ployees from Lock Haven. counterpart, the Federal Power more than 29% cents. Westcoast Timbrells Criticized PRESTON, Ont. (CP)--Mrs. Arthur Timbrell was investi- gated by the Ontario govern- ment before her request to adopt two foster children was denied, a judicial inquiry was told Monday. Betty Graham, director of child welfare for Ontario, testi- fied that her department con- ducted a home study on the Timbrells and their family after they applied for adoption. Miss Graham said foster chil- dren sometimes were placed in homes that did not meet Children's Aid Society stand- ards. Shortage of staff and lack of applications for foster chil- dren sometimes meant little in- vestigation was carried out by the local societies. The inquiry, headed by Judge Harry Waisberg, was ordered by Premier John Robarts after Peggy, 5, and Valerie, 3, were seized from the Timbrell home Sept 28 and Mrs. Timbrell was charged with abduction. DEPLORES PUBLICITY Harold Daufman, Waterloo County Crown Attornney, said removal of the children was blown up out of proportion by news coverage. He said he advised Waterloo CAS director, Wilson Hunsber- ger, to remove the children in August, a month before the CAS took action. That way wide pub- licity would have been avoided, he said. Mr. Daufman said he told Mr. Hunsberger to exercise a por- tion of the criminal code which allows CAS officials to enter a house by. force and to charge Mrs. Timbrell with the illegal detention of wards of the Crown. After Mrs. Timbrell refused to give up the children to the so- ciety, the Crown attorney said ride fallout in this area could cause a high rate of stillborn births, Dr. G. L. Waldbott of Detroit, one of the world's lead- soning, said Monday. In a telephone interview from Frankfurt, West Germany, with the Hamilton Spectator, he said there also could be serious physical deformities among ba- bies who do live unless the problem is overcome. A spokesman for the Haldi- mand War Memorial Hospital in Dunnville said Monday night there has been one stillborn) death within the last two weeks. The spokesman would not elabo- rate and attributed the stillborn to a "run of bad luck lately." Dr. Waldbott, attending a con- ference in Frankfurt, said his discovery in September that two of nine Dunville-area families ihe examined were affected by! cussed at the conference.

They say the poisoning has left hundreds of cattle crip- pled and toothless. Mr. Medves said Electric Re- duction paid $93,000 in 1965 in settlement of crop and cattle losses suffered by farmers. The 1966 claims of $123,000 from 49 farmers and area residents for 1966 were being processed. SAYS PIGS AFFECTED Farmer.
