(CP) A dramatic, but bloodless predawn rescue today ended almost 12 hours of terror for a farm family held hostage by a man who had escaped police custody in Edmonton. Edward Millard, 26, was arrested by RCMP after his brother Roger, who had been flown from Edmonton to talk to him, seized the rifle which the man had used to stand off scores of policemen throughout the night. The drama began about 7 p.m.

Friday, when Millard, fleeing from police after an alleged kidnapping attempt in Weyburn, turned in at the small, two-storey farmhouse of farmer Felix Klein, near this community about 40 miles southeast of Regina. Mrs. Klein and six children ranging in age from one to 19 years, were trapped in the house with the fugitive. Millard had escaped custody in Edmonton Thursday, while facing charges of attempted murder and rape. RCMP were on his trail after a woman complained of an attempted kidnapping in Weyburn, about 40 miles from the Klein farm.

A witness noted the licence number of the car involved in the incident. ROMP said during the 12 hours Millard held the farmhouse, the Klein family stayed in the attic, refusing his demands that they come down. DISTRACTED BY POLICE He did not attempt to go up into the attic, possibly because of distractions from policemen who quickly surrounded the building, RCMP said. The police borrowed large trucks from neighboring farms to serve as shields in case they decided to storm the house. A Li ft A.

Free Press Staff Photo 1cat 'One ounce or OTTAWA (CP) Stung by the explosion of a nuclear bomb in India last spring, the federal government is working on a new nuclear safeguards policy to prevent a similar occurance. Proposals by advisers in several departments have been placed before the federal cabinet but a decision on a new policy is not expected for several weeks, Energy Minister Donald Macdonald says.

Government officials say there has been extensive debate within cabinet and the civil service over trying to reconcile Gold hits new high LONDON (AP) United States and Middle East speculators have pushed the price of gold to an all-time peak of $184.50 an ounce and the price might soar to $200 an ounce soon, bullion dealers said today. The metal climbed by $6.25 an ounce Friday. Financial experts said this would increase pressure for returning to a fixed, price for gold to stabilize the world's monetary system. The previous high of $184 an ounce was set last February, It dropped to $132 an ounce in early July. Dealers attributed Friday's spree in general to the uncertain world economic and political outlook.

Middle East dealers bought gold for security amid growing fears of another Arab-Israeli war, while others bought gold as a hedge against inflation, the dealers said. two positions to sell Canadian-designed reactors on the world market and to ensure our technology is not used for production of atomic bombs. Mr. Macdonald says the government may even decide to ac-" cept the ultimate safeguard-not to sell any Candu reactors to other countries. Contracts have been signed with Argentina for a $250 million reactor and it will go through, no matter what new safeguards the cabinet imposes, Mr, Macdonald says.

SUBJECT TO MEASURES A possible sale to South Korea, however, will be subject to the new measures, and cancellation if the cabinet decides on that course of action. Sources within the government say there has been concern over a sale to South Korea, country ruled by a dictatorship that could change at any time. There would be no guarantee a new government would abide by a safeguard agreement with Canada. But even the termination of talks with South Korea would not rob it of nuclear technology. "The Americans already have" built one reactor there and I'm sure they would be only to glad to move in if we decided to pull out," Mr.

Macdonald says. The whole question of proliferation of nuclear weapons was brought close to home last May when India set off a nuclear bomb, built from materials and technology provided by the United States and Canada. The federal government says the Cirus research reactor given India was covered by the best available safeguards when the deal was made in 1956. When new safeguards evolved, attempts were made to include the Indian reactor. VANCOUVER (CP) Two Vancouver groups want to buy an apartment block offered earlier to the provincial government for $10 by a landlord protesting rent limits.

Stan Persky, spokesman for the Mental Patients' Association, said Friday his group would operate the 21-suite mock if landlord Keith Shepherd will sell it to them for 50 cents. He said the association al Kissinger optimistic of securing peace VALERY d'ESTAING visits tomb Gaullists heckle d'Estaing COLOMBEY LES DEUX EG-LISES, France (AP) A small group of Gaullists heckled President Valery Giscard d'Estaing today when he visited the tomb of Gen. Charles dGaulle. "Hypocrite, traitor, it's not your place to be here today," they yelled. The group came from a town in the northern Ardenne region for a Roman Catholic memorial mass on the fourth anniversary of de Gaulle's death.

Giscard d'Estaing did not react to the taunts. After he left, police questioned a leader of the group, a man of about 30. After being released, the man wept in front of de Gaulle's tomb in the graveyard of the small church here, and said: "We came to honor the memory of de Gaulle and not to create a scandal." Hardline supporters of de Gaulle have long attacked Giscard d'Estaing, who heads his own small independent Republican party, for allegedly paying only lip service to Gaullist policies. His presidential victory this year included whipping the official Gaullist candidate, Jacques Chaban-Delmas, in a humiliating defeat.

Mr. Shepherd offered the suites to the government Tuesday and later said if the province doesn't buy the building he will offer it to the B.C. Tenants' Organization for one dollar. BCTO president Bruce Yorke said Friday his organization will not buy it.

Mr. Shepherd said he is losing $6,500 a year as a result of the provincial rent freeze and the proposed rent ceiling limit of 10.6 per cent is not enough to help.

In making the offer to Victoria, Mr. Shepherd stipulated that rents must not be increased for at least one year, current mortgage payments totalling about $3,246 a month must be assumed, and that he be freed of any federal income tax levies against the sale.

CAPE TOWN (Reuter) Prime Minister John Vorster has offered South Africa's two million colored (mixed-race) people a greater say in running their affairs but rejected calls for them to be given direct rep resentation in the republic's all-white parliament.

The prime minister was opening a new session of the Colored Representative Council (CRC), the political forum for mixed-'' race people which has limited powers over their community affairs. He announced plans for a considerable extension of the council's powers, but observers felt this would not satisfy militant colored politicians who have been demanding the abolition of the CRC and direct representation in parliament. Among other things, Vorster proposed that the present liaison committee between the CRC and the government should be transformed into a consultative council to the cabinet. The proposed council, to be chaired by the prime minister, would deal with all matters of mutual interest to coloreds and whites. Vorster also suggested that the CRC executive committee be developed into a cabinet for coloreds.

The prime minister said that if necessary, the law should be changed to allow the council to U.K. earl LONDON (AP) Detectives combed the known haunts of a missing British earl today after the murder of his children's nanny.
