CONCORD, Mass. (AP) — A ban of Concord reformatory prisoners staged a mutiny Wed- nesday night, but a relextiess at- tack on their stronghold by state police brought it to an abrupt end within four hours.

The rebels seized several hos- tages and holed up in a prison

State troopers, called to the 80- year-old institution from all over the state, laid down a tear-gas barrage in their successful drive to rout the rebels.

35 IN REVOLT

Thirty - five convicts were in- volved in the revolt, the second in a Massachusetts penal institu- tion within six weeks. They held 14 hostages, including 12 guards and two civilian workers, accord- ing to figures given out by Gov- ernor Foster Furcolo’s office.

Originally, it was reported 63 prisoners were rebelling, but when the uprising ended, offi- cials said some were involuntary participants! }t also had been an- nounced that 16, hostages were held but the governor’s office corrected that total.

By KEN METHERAL Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) — A painting

by the 19th-century Canadian ar- tist Cornelius Kriezhoff, which cost its owner only 20 cents,“Wwas sold at Sotheby’s auction room in London Wednesday for a record- equalling $2,100, about $5,700.

The painting, measuring 13% inches by 21 inches, was sent to the sale by Mrs. E. L. Bartlett of Bideford, England, who ob- tained it at a jumble sale for Is yd. It shows Hudson Bay Indians at a portage and is signed and dated 1865.

The jumblesale canvas was one of eight Krieghoffs sold for a total of £9,565. The price equals the record high for a Krieghoff set in October, 1957, when a Ca- nadian collector, Roy G. Cole, paid £2,100 for The Trapper’s Return, a winter scene..

DEALER BUYS SIX

A London art dealer, P. and D Colnaghi and Company, Limited, monopolized the bidding, buying

six of the eight paintings, includ-|

ing Mrs. Bartlett's.

all six were purchased by the firm and not on behalf of clients.

Colmaghis paid £1,800 for a winter scene called A Trapper's Return—a title common to many Krieghoffs — measuring 13 by 18% inches and £1,600 for an oval canvas measuring 12% by 17% inches showing thre Indians in a canoe and entitled Shooting the Reoids.

Pickersgill Taunt

OTTAWA ssa J. W. Pickersgill stung the Progressive Conservative benches in the Com- mons Wednesday with a remark about Hon. William J. Browne, minister without portfolio from Newfoundland.

Mr. Pickersgill, MP for the Newfoundland riding of Bon avista - Twillingate, said it is recognized that Mr. Browne is without portfolio, without respon- sibility and without voice in the cabinet.

There were cries of ‘‘With- draw,” “Shame” and “Pretty cheap” from aroused Conserva-

CLEAR HISTORY

Two of the Colmaghi purchases —Shooting the Rapids and In dians Shooting Stag—are partic- ularly well documented. They were sold by Dr. J. E. R. Laor- imer and were originally in the collection of his great-grand- father, Alexander Ross. Ross ob- tained them from Krieghoff whom he met while working on the Grand Trunk Railway. The Ross family later went te New Zealand and took the paintings with them.

tives.

Prime Minister Diefenbaker said Mr. Pickersgill’s remark, from a person with no respon- sibility but much voice, was “entirely impertinent.”

ASKS ABOUT PROTESTS

The exchange arose after a rul- ing by Speaker Roland Michener that Mr. Browhe®was not required to reply to questions by Mr. Pick- ersgill concerning how many pro-| over tests had been received by the minister over “failure” of the federal government to send RCMP reinforcements to New- foundland.

Mr. Michener said it has been parliamentary practice that ques- tions should relate to matters for which the minister addressed takes responsibility. The question should have been put to Justice Minister Fulton, he said.

Opposition Leader Pearson said such a ruling would make it dif- ficult to obtain any information at all from a minister without portfolio.

By stating in a recent TV pan- el that the hospitals of the Pro vince were “charitable institu- tions,” and as such could not re fuse treatment to any patient at any time, Dr. Dewar was at- tempting to create a false im pression in the minds of the pub lic, he said.

The ‘Senate went to unusual lengths this week to demonstrate to the world—and possibly to President Eisenhower — its un- qualified confidence in Herter as successor to cancer-stricken John Foster Dulles. I suspended its own rules to give mm, im little more than four hours, a confirma- tion that ordinarily takes at least a week.

The unprecedented Senate ac- tion was designed primarily to strengthen Herter’s hand when he meets in Paris next week with Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lioyd and French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville to plot Allied strategy for East-West meetings in Geneva next month on the Berlin issue.

But it also is regarded as a re-

buke to Eisenhower for the off- hand and lukewarm manner in which he handled the Herter ap- pointment after a spreading can- cerous condition made it clear that Dulles could not continue in office. Apparently Eisenhower tried te make up for this coolness be- latedly at Wednesday's formal svearing-in. He told Herter that he and Dulles “were as one’’ in deciding that H- ter was the best man for the job, nd pledged him full support.
