More Employees Laid Off By Ford DEARBORN, Mich. (AP)-- The Ford Motor Company an- nounced Friday night it is lay- ing off about 4,500 more employ- ees Monday because of a wild- cat strike at a Chicago stamping plant, bringing the total layoff to 12,500 men. The Chicago strike, involyng jabout 4,000 men, threatens to make idle 40,000 Ford workers by next week because of a parts shortage. Disciplining of five United Auto Workers union members was the reported caus of the strike. Ken Bannon, head of the UAW ford department, hastened to Chicago to seek a resump- tion of work. In Montreal MONTREAL (CP) -- Aroused police and municipal forces mounted a huge offensive today against time - bomb terrorists whose. sporadic depredations of more than 10 weeks were cli- maxed Friday with a series of explosions in the placid suburb of 'Westmount. The City of Montreal set up a special 200-man anti-terrorist squad. Police Directoy J. Adrien Rob. ert met todd' heads of the Montreal R division and provincial ce -and with rep- resentativeS fof 20 municipal forces on Montreal island. Meanwhile, Sgt.-Maj, Walter (Rocky) Leja, 42-year-old army explosives expert, remained in critical condition in hospital, victim of a bomb he was pre. paring to dismantle in West- mount. He was given a 50-50-chance of survival. Hospital authorities said his strong physique is a factor in his fight for life. His pulse and blood pressure were reported good. Surgeons worked more than five hours Friday in an effort to save him. His left arm was amputated, his chest and face torn by lacerations. City authorities said the West- mount bombs gave every indi- cation of being the work of Le Front de Liberation Quebecois, pledged to achieve Quebec in- dependence by violence. WORK WITHOUT STOP Montreal's 200 - man police anti-terrorist squad will work around the clock in shifts. Smaller police forces on the is- land have been put on a 24- hour -alert. Meeting Planned On Labor Strife , OTTAWA (CP) -- American| and Canadian Labor Minister Allan MacEachen met here Fri- day to set the stage for next week's high-level conference in Washington on Great Lakes la-| bor strife. The two labor ministers are to meet president Claude Jodoin of. the Canadian Labor Con- Tuesday for talks aimed at,end- ing shipping disruptions on the Great Lakes. There was no announcement after their informal meeting followed by a working dinner. Guests at the dinner included External Affairs Minister Paul Martin and U.S. Ambassador W. Walton Butterworth. A reliable source said the dis- cussions centred on how to im- plement the Hyannis Port agreement of Prime Minister Pearson and President Kennedy ships and their crews "should be free to go about their lawful business without impediment or harassment" on the Great Lakes, The prime minister and the president agreed that this free- dom of movement is "essential" and they expressed concern about the consequences of in- dustrial strife on the central waterway between the two na- tions, A battle between the Cana- dian Labor Congress and Hal C, Banks' Seafarers' Interna- tional Union of Canada (Ind.) has disrupted the operations of Upper Lakes Shipping Limited of Toronto, second-ranking ship- ping firm on the lakes. The SIU claims the CL&- backed Canadian Maritime Un- ion, which provides the crews for Upper Lakes ships, is a "scab" union that is threatening the jobs of American sailors. Through boycotts. and picket lines, the SIU and its U.S. un- ion allies have harassed Upper Lakes ships in American lake- ports. Royal Lieut. taken apart two of the devices and were starting on the third, WAR AGAINST FLO STARTED BY CITY Bomb Victim Critical Hospital With. the Victoria Day Holl- day weekend ahead police said there will be continuous vigil- ance in case the Monday holi- day may have some symbolic attraction for the terrorists. Provincial police forces in the area were placed 'on 24- hour alert Friday night. Deputy Attorney, General Charles E. Cantin said in Quebec City "we are going to get to the bottom of this, no matter what." Premier Jean Lesage said he has asked provincial police to make special efforts to break up the terrorist group and to report to him personally, Daniel Johnson, leader of the Union Nationale opposition, said in the legislature that he will demand immediate replace- ment of Attorney General Georges Lapalme and QPP Di- rector Josaphat Brunet on the basis of incompetence. CANCEL POLICE LEAVES Mayor Chipman H, Drury of Westmount, a city of 32,000 said all police leaves have been can- brig and the force is "'on full alert." In a, 11 bombs -- all made with dynamite sticks -- were planted in mail boxes in West- mount; Six exploded. It was the sixth that injured Sgt. - Maj. Ly as he removed it from a 0X, Some of the other bomps were exploded later by army and other explosives experts. Westmount has 85 mail boxes in all, many at busy street in- tersections. Leja was the only person in- jured in Westmount's explo- sions, which shattered mait boxes and damaged nearby property. Later, a postman picking up mail from the boxes began find- ing the ticking time-bombs-- four sticks of dynamite wrapped together and attached to a cheap clock timer. "Man, I ran and I ran," said jmailman Pierre Cote after he discovered the first of three bombs on his route. "I stopped just long enough to call the police." Police called in explosives ex- perts to dismantle the bombs, Leja and his partner in the Canadian Engineers, Douglas Simpson, had It went off in Leja's hands, as hundreds of horrified spec- tators watched. Simpson, stand- ing about 10 feet behind Leja, was uninjured . Det, - Sgt. Leo Plouffe, the Montreal police bomb expert, joined in the work, hopping from site to site in a yellow convertible. BLOWS ONE UP Plouffe dismantled two bombs and caused a third to explode out of harm's way. When Leja was taken to hos- pital, the army gave up the idea of dismantling any more of the time-bombs. FOUR INJURED IN CRASH Four people were reported in critical condition. in Osh- awa General Hospital today following a head-on collision between a European-type sta- tion wagon and a Canadian- made car at approximately 11:10 a.m., on Rossland road West and Anderson street northeast of Whitby.
