PACT BRINGS A
CEASE-FIRE IN ALGERIA
ALGIERS UP — A pact between
the Secret Army and Moslem Na
tionalists brought a halt today to
the Secret Army’s scorched earth
campaign in Algiers and Oran,
Algeria’s major cities.
Neither arson nor bomb attacks
had been reported in the greater
Algiers area by noon. The meaning
also passed quietly in Oran, the
extremist European stronghold in
the West.
A private broadcast from Oran,
however, raised the prospect that
the Seqjret Army group based there
might nbt abide by orders from
Algiers to end the campaign of
destruction and death.
There was unaccustomed peace
in Algiers.
Groups of Moslems emerged
from their barricaded quarters
and mixed with Europeans in some
parts of the city. Half-tracks load
ed with troops stood by for any
emergency while helicopters
hovered over the city.
Despite a Secret Army appeal
to the Europeans to unite with the
Moslems “to renovate the Algerian
fatherland,” crowds of settlers be
! sieged airline offices again today
for passage to France before in
dependence.”
“We will come back later if all
is well,” said some. "

One Convict Dies
From Gunshot
MONTREAL — A prisoner
wounded by rifle was found dead
today in the hospital of the^ fire
ravaged St. Vincent De Paul peni
tentiary, scene of a riot by 1,100
convicts that left 30 persons in
jured. Steel-helmeted troops stood
guard amid the ruins.
Allen J. MacLeod, Federal Com
missioner of Penitentiaries, told a
news conference the prisoner was
the only fatality resulting from the
riot Sunday. He was not identi
fied immediately.
The Commissioner reported a,
three-man board of inquiry will
make a full investigation of the
riot.
None of the convicts managed to
escape, but some were gunned
down while trying to scale the
walls.
“We had to shoot when they
tried to escape or occupy other
buildings/’ said Warden Michael
LeCore, “but we did not shoot to
kill.”
The six-hour battle was finally
ended after more than 200 troops
in full battle dress joined guards
and police, herding the convicts
at bayonet point into a group of
buildings inside the compound.
Six of the 15 prison buildings
were gutted. Others damaged to
varying degrees. Officials figured
the damage to the old maximum
security prison would come to be
tween $2 and $3 million.
Twenty-five prisoners were in
jured by flames or bullets as
guards fired on convicts armed
with stones, knives, zip guns and
Molotov cocktails — gasoline-filled
jars set afire by a rag wick. Three
guards were hurt.
Prison officials said they were
Unable to determine the cause of
the riot, which flared in mid
afternoon during the exercise
period. *_ ■- .
About 400 convicts 'wieri housed
in cells which a royal commission'
recommended 24 years ago “should
be condemned without qualifica
tion.” Justice Minister Davie Ful
ton has described conditions in the
prison as “most undesirable.”
