A spokesman in the office of acting jail governor Lt. -Col. Leon Lambert said some 400 re- bellious prisoners have been re- turned without trouble to their cells. The prisoners, who staged a four-hour New Year's Day riot Monday, spent part of the night tramping about in two flooded cell blocks. The water came from fire hoses used to put out fires and quell prisoner resist- jance, Col, Lambert, in charge of the 750 - prisoner jail, hac expected more disturbances when guards attempted to lead the prisoners back to their cells. COLD AND WET The spokesman said, however there was no difficulty in bring- ing the tired, wet and cold pris- oners to their cells, Col. Lambert estimated the damage to the two prison wings at $50,000. Four men, Firemen Robert Way, and three prisoners, were injured, none seriously. Way. was struck by a piece of metal thrown by. a prisoner, ; Col.

Pilon said. cell doors were wedged so they wouldn't shut tight by the "'trialers" before they set out to serve the meals. When the ruckus began, there was a complete power failure which Roger Grothe, the pris- on's maintenance director, said could only have been caused by. a deliberate short circuit. It ap- peared as if the whole thing was planned, he said. Complete power wasn't re- stored for two hours. "'The main trouble was that we couldn't see what was happening after they cut the power," Col. Lambert said. "Also, we could neither open nor close the automatic doors on the cells without elec- tricity." Police moved in with tear gas, headed by police forensic expert Leo Plouffe, but had to retreat because "we couldn't tell. ex- actly how it was affecting the prisoners"" Many could have died from an overdose of gas, he: said. There was also no power to run prison water pumps. City firemen arived with hose oe couplings that didn't fit: prison hydrants, .and they id to the prison,' in some places a distance of two miles, be amphibious landings at other towns. Sukarno has ample ground forces--40,000 troops hardened fighting rebels in the North Celebes and 200,000 experienced soldiers elsewhere -- but sea- power is the major question.

"1-DAY FLORIDA TRIP Teacher Facing Abduction Count CAYUGA, Ont. (CP)--A young school teacher will appear in court at nearby Cayuga on Thursday to face charges of ab- ducting a 15-year-old girl pupil whom he took on an 11 day trip to florida and back. Charles Richeson appeared before Justice of the Peace Alice J. Murphy Monday and was remanded in custody. He is being held in the Haldimand county jail at Cayuga. The pair were found by police Monday huddled beneath a blanket in a car less than seven miles from the home of the girl, Susan Vermette. Police said that Richeson left with $325 but he did not have a cent. when found. He also faces a charge of Provincial police constable Bruce Fraser found them in the car..They had apparently hud- died under 1 blanket for more than three hours to keep from freezing in the 15 - degree weather. Susan, second oldest of seven children, was last seen Dec. 21 when she got into a car and disappeared. She was a pupil at Bishop McCarthy School, where Richeson taught. The tiny school is closed now for lack of a teacher and is not likely to re- open until next year. Police said Richeson had no money when found. The car contained a suitcase, food bought at a grocery store, a woman's white overcoat, two pairs of shoes, a toy panda and several bills from Miami mo- Thompson merely replied Emerging from the foreign ministry building, he seemed ni good spirits and was. smiling.

One prisoner, thrown naked from his cell, was bleed- ing from cuts over his whole body. Apparently, he had been slashed viciously with broken glass. Cause of the riot was attrib- uted "at least partly" to the use of goofballs -- barbiturates--' smuggled into the prison. Col.

FOLLOWS AGREED PLAN The allied approach to the Russians through Thompson was agreed on by the Western Allies at a meeting of the U.S., British, French and West Ger- man foreign ministers in Paris last month. It was later ap- proved by the NATO ministerial council and by President Ken- nedy and Prime Minister Mac- millan at their Bermuda meet- ing.
