Both demonstrations contrasted with Victoria Day protests in Montreal in 1964 and 1965 that resulted in rioting, arrests and injuries.

"I had been down to the river at 3 a.m., looking for David," she said of her 2-year-old son who had disappeared Saturday, "I saw something on the shore that I thought was him.

But it was a dog. Then I came back home and tried to sleep." She had spent most of the weekend gazing into the Detroit River as police skin divers searched for her son's body. But Monday morning police asked Mrs. Patten and her estranged husband, Nathaniel, to come to the Healy Shelter Home. "I didn't let myself get my hopes up on the way out to the shelter," Mrs.

Patten said. "I told myself not to believe the boy at the place was my David until I actually saw him." When she did, she was too stunned to move. "He didn't have a chance to run to either one of us. I just swept him up off the ground and held him," Patten said, David had been seen last by his family Saturday morning. While Mrs.

Patten went shopping, the tot and his six-year-old brother, Freddie, had gone to play near the river. I came home, one of the kids said David was with his daddy, she said. "I waited and then about 9 p.m. I got worried because I knew David didn't have his jacket with him. "When David's father came by here about 9:30 without him I ran out and called the police." Police said part of the delay in reuniting David with his family was due to the lapse in reporting him missing and his brother's report that David had fallen into the river.

A passer-by had found the child wandering several blocks from the river, but only two blocks from home, and had taken him to the shelter Saturday afternoon. Hero's funeral (Continued from Page One) By Star Wire Services NEW DELHI Prime Minister Indira Gandhi said Monday refugees from East Pakistan are pouring into India at a rate unprecedented in history, and called on the big Israelis duck Arab fire again By Associated Press Israeli settlers ran for shelter underground when Arab guerrillas fired rockets into the Beisan valley Monday night in the first attack across the Jordanian border in more than six months. Israeli mortars retaliated with a barrage, informed sources said. Minor damage but no casualties were reported on the Israeli side. The Russian Katyusha rockets were aimed at an Israeli settlement three miles from the Jordan River frontier, the sources said.

The guerrillas have not been active since Jordanian army units dislodged them from positions along the river during fighting last fall between the army and the guerrillas. To the northwest, on the central sector of the Israeli-Lebanese border, Israeli troops killed two guerrillas infiltrating from Lebanon early Tuesday, an Israeli spokesman said. They were reported to be the first infiltrators in that part of the border in several months. Premier Golda Meir arrived in Helsinki to address the 12th post-war conference of the Socialist International. Interviewed en route to Copenhagen, she called on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to use his newly strengthened position to lead Egypt into real peace negotiations with Israel.

Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny was due in Cairo today to assess the situation in the wake of Sadat's purge, the chief victims of which were some of the Kremlin's most devoted supporters in the Egyptian regime. for pressed a manhunt OBSERVED TEMPERATURES Windsor 59 75 Frederlctn 42 64 Chatham 60 76 saint John 42 63 Sarnia 45 60 Moocton 34 57 Dawson 31 59 Halifax 41 54 Pr George 47 59 Char I town 3J 44 Pr Rupert 33 50 Sydney 35 57 Vancouver 52 60 Yarmouth 43 55 Victoria 50 57 St. John's 42 60 Jasper 47 72 Mneapolis 43 60 Edmonton 42 81 Bismarck 33 62 Calgary .42 76 Chicago 52 79 Lethbridge 47 77 Buffalo 59 66 Pr Albert 41 73 Albany 54 73 Saskatoon 48 72 New York 86 Regina 42 70 Boston 52 74 Winnipeg 33 54 Washingtn 69 73 Churchill 38 67 Pittsburgh 61 78 Thunder 39 44 Cincinnati 56 85 Wt.

Security authorities kept Istanbul sealed by a ring of roadblocks and expressed confidence the top suspects were trapped inside the city.

In Ankara, the capital government sources said the cabinet was toughening a draft bill imposing the death penalty for politically inspired kidnappings. The sources said the new version, retroactive to cover the Elrom case would embrace "terrorism in general, those who provoke terrorism, those who protect terrorists, and those who withhold information about terrorists." Macdonald at NATO atom talks Most significant conference seen MTTENWALD, West Germany (CP) Canadian Defence Minister Donald Macdonald and seven other members of the NATO nuclear planning group opened their semi-annual meeting today which Canadian officials say may be one of the most significant conferences in the group's nine year history. The meeting comes at a time when chances of substantial East-West talks on mutual, balanced troop reductions appear to be a likely possibility in the view of several aides accompanying Macdonald. Officials conceded privately that the minister's position at this meeting is an extremely difficult one. Some say there is a strong body of opinion in the eight-member group which favors more intensive nuclear planning as a means of offsetting possible unilateral reductions in conventional weapons and manpower contributed to NATO by such countries as the United States.

Canada decided in 1969 to cut its NATO contingent by half and to abandon its nuclear role in the alliance by the end of this year. Officials say these decisions, firmly supported by Macdonald, make his role somewhat awkward, if not embarrassing. The minister is known to have a natural aversion to the whole issue of nuclear weapons and their possible use and officials are quick to point out that he is generally outspoken and not likely to play a quiet role at the meeting. Other countries attending the meeting are West Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Britain and the United States. Macdonald did not have any strong position or arguments prepared for the meeting, aides said.

But he would likely take a strong stand against any effort to increase the nuclear arsenal of NATO. The minister and his wife have been accompanied constantly by German security guards since their arrival in the country Monday aboard a Canadian government 707 jetliner. The 23-member Canadian delegation was flown by helicopter from Munich to a hotel near this military base in the Bavarian mountain area. Also attending the NATO session are U.S. Defence Secretary Melvin Laird and Defence Ministers Helmut Schmidt of West Germany, Lord Carrington of Britain, Jacob Fostervoll of Norway, Wille Den Toom of The Netherlands and Mario Tanassi of Italy.

An eighth NATO country, Greece, is represented by an undersecretary of defence.

"So massive a migration in so short a time is unprecedented in recorded history," Mrs. Gandhi told Parliament. She called on the big powers to settle the East Pakistan crisis nad the refugee problem, warning that peace in Southeast Asia would be threatened if failed to act.

She also appealed for urgent international assistance to help the refugees. Meanwhile, in a note sent to the Indian high commissioner in Rawalpindi, Pakistan claimed India was to blame for the refugee situation and denied Indian charges that Pakistan was forcing people to flee to India. The note said that Indian allegations that East Pakistantis were being expelled by a "campaign of terror were "totally false, malicious and unwarranted." Pakistan rejected as "totally unacceptable" the Indian note of May 14 carrying the allegation, it said. The note went on "it is the government of India which largely has to accept blame for whatever refugees there might be in India. "These people became vic-times of conditions created by India's armed infiltration into East Pakistan and distorted Indian propaganda Mrs.

Gandhi spoke on the refugee situation after unruly scenes in the Lok Sabha (lower house) culminating in a walkout by most Opposition members who wanted a full-scale debate on the East Pakistan situation and diplomatic recognition of the independent republic Bangla Desh (Bengali nation), the secessionists name for the east wing of Pakistan. She said there could be no military solution in East Pakistan, "a political solution must be brought about by those who have the power to do so." "The great powers have a special responsibility," she said. "If they exercise their power rightly and expeditiously, then only can we look forward to durable peace on our sub-continent." The great powers were also the target of an appeal from Tajuddin Ahmed, premier of the provisional government of Bangla Desh, who, according to The Times of London, asked for material and moral sup-; port from the United States and Great Britain. Times correspondent Peter Hazelhurst cabled from Calcutta that we met with Ahmed at a secret rendezvous in East Bengal Monday. Ahmed, he said, wanted Britain and the U.S.

to immediately recognize his "democratically elected government." Ahmed's Awami League won 167 Bengali seats in the Pakistan National elections last December. "This will give us the right to ask all countries for help, including military assitance," Ahmed was quoted as saying. He also appealed for an international economic aid boycott on Pakistant.

Sarah Sylvester said a Spanish-speaking woman telephoned her home to give the news about her husband but rang off without giving further information. "Be calm; he is well," the anonymous woman said. Then she hung up. Police have arrested more than 30 persons for questioning in the Sunday abduction, attributed to leftist extremists. More than 3,000 local and federal police pressed a search for the diplomat and raided more than 50 suspected terrorist hangouts.

In Buenos Aires, British Ambassador Michael Hadow said after a meeting with the foreign minister, Luis Pablo Pardo, that the Argentine government was "working magnificently' in its investigation of the abduction. The consul, also manager of the big Swift meat packing plant here, was dragged from his car outside his garage by three members of the "People's Revolutionary Army" (ERP) Sunday morning. A brief communique issued by the ERP Sunday night in a local bar promised to place Sylvester at "the disposal of popular Ambassador Hadow indicated in a news conference the British government would keep a hands off attitude if the Argentine government decided not to deal for Sylventer's release as is its normal policy. "My government's position is well known in this," he said. Holdup, family plan, nets $25,000 in loot ASH FLAT, Ark.

(AP) Two armed men abducted an Ash Flat bank official and his family and then robbed the bank of an estimated $25,000 late Sunday night, police said Monday. State Police said Boyd Carpenter, 50, president of the Bank of Ash Flat, and his wife, Maxine, and their daughter, Lou Ann, 18, were left tied up in their car near Rector, more than 100 miles from Ash Flat. They were unharmed. Treasurer named TORONTO (CP) Sydney L. Robins, 47, a Toronto lawyer, has been elected treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada, it was announced Sunday.

(Continued from Page Three) matter how incriminating the information may be, will never have to worry about the information getting into the hands of other government agencies such as income tax investigators, said Mr. Boswell. Those who have difficulties in understanding either the reason for a question or the question itself can call ZEnith 0-1971 and get information from one of the 189 government employees who will be stationed there between today and June 4. The call is toll-free and can be made by merely dialing the operator and asking to be connected to the number. The government takes a major census in Canada every ten years but this is the first time that enumerators will not be used.

In an effort to educate the public, the government has launched a massive advertising campaign explaining the census's purpose and importance. Each person who gets a census form will also get a pencil to use on the form because questions are answered by filling in circles. If anything other than the government pencil is used, the computers won't be able to interpret the response. I The result of all this is that the government will be able to produce preliminary population figures between July and September. In the past, it has taken as long as three years to extract workable information from the census.

With all this information, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics will be able to predict such things as housing needs; job and industrial trends and the subsequent need for educational and vocational-institutions; which areas will require streets and highways; the type of health and welfare programs necessary in Canada and the future standard of living that Canadians can anticipate. The cost of the census to the Canadian taxpayer? Much less than the worth of the information to the country's growth, said Mr. Boswell. "$35 million." he Bourget cro wd ogles Soviet SST PARIS (UPI) The Soviet TU144 supersonic airliner landed today at heavily guarded Le Bourget airport, giving the west its first look at the Russian plane. Shortly before arrival the Anglo-French Concorde SST streaked 2,794 miles from Toulouse, France, to Dakar, Senegal, in 2lA hours.

Police ordered tough security measures to guard both the TU144 and Russian pilots and dignitaries attending the Paris air show after receiving tips that extremists planned to attack Russian airliners in retaliation for the trials of Jews in the Soviet Union. The silver and white TU144 glided onto the field at 3:46 p.m. (10:46 a.m. EDT) after making two low passes over the field and tipping its wings in a salute to hundreds of spectators. The Soviet craft will be star Russian entry at the 29th Paris air show opening Thursday alongside the rival needle-nosed Concorde, the west's only faster-than-sound airliner since the United States dropped its own SST project.

The Concorde flight to Dakar today was a combination endurance and test flight. A crowd of enthusiastic Senegalese headed by President Leopold Sedar Senghor applauded its arrival at Dakar airport, its first landing in a foreign country. Loan okayed for Windsor sewer plan From Star's Ottawa Bureau OTTAWA Herb Gray, minister of revenue, has announced that Ottawa is providing a $481,333 loan to-wards construction of a $722,000 sewer project in Windsor. Financing is under National Housing Act provisions to aid in the fight on water pollution. The federal loan is for 20 years.

It covers two-thirds of the cost of construction for a 66-inch diameter sewer tunnel. It is a trunkline to run from the Windsor treatment plant to Grand Marais Drain on Northway Street. If work is finished by 1975, Ottawa will forgive 25 per cent of interest and principal on its loan. Blood pressure checkmates game VANCOUVER (CP) Fourth game of the world chess championship quarterfinal elimination match between Bobby Fischer of the United States and Mark Tai-manov, 45, was postponed Sunday while the Soviet grandmaster sought treatment for high blood pressure.

U.S. grandmaster Fischer, 28, leads the 10-game match 3-0. The match is one of a candidates' series designed to choose a challenger for world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union. Strike ends for students in Sault SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont.

(CP) About 6,700 high school students were back in the classroom today after walking out Friday to protest lack of progress in contract talks between the local board of education and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. Tom Trbovich, student council president at Bawating High School, discounted rumors that another demonstration is planned. "There are only 13 teaching days left and we will only be hurting ourselves," he said. "I'm convinced some progress will be made during teacher-board negotiating talks Wednesday." The student walkout was prompted by a teacher work-to-rule which began last week, curtailing all extra-curricular activities including a planned trip to Ontario Place by the Bawating school band June 11. Principals of the six high schools affected said about 20 per cent of the students did not participate in Friday's walkout.

Others went home, but about 3,000 demonstrated outside the board of education offices with placards reading "Unfair to Students" and "Give Us Back Our Rights." The demonstration was orderly with the exception of a few firecrackers and eggs thrown at the building. The six student council presidents spoke to board officials about students' concern over the shutting down of sports activities and social events. Teachers and board members meet Wednesday night to resume contract talks. The major issues are salaries and benefits.

S. African police killed in bomb blast CAPE TOWN, South African (Reuter) Two South African policemen were killed and five others injured when the vehicle in which they were patrolling the border with Zambia was blown up by a land mine Saturday, Parliament was told Monday. 1 One soldier, seeing a little boy crying "mother, mother, mother" for his parent lost in the quake, muttered "damn, damn, damn" in tearful exasperation at it all. According to Turkish custom, men rarely cry. "The worst are the eyea," said a nurse surveying the survivors.

"There is such pain in those eyesi, such hopelessness, such desperation. "If only they would complain, blaspheme, be angry at their fate, it would be so much easier for us. But this resignation, this complete surrender to fate makes it so difficult to help these men, women and children who have so little, wanted so little and met with this formidable disaster," the nurse said. The word heard most often in the narrow rubble strewn streets of Bingol is "Allah," a word of hope in the Moslem faith now being uttered mostly in despair. Medical students joined army engineers in rebuilding river bridges used for most traffic leading to Bingol.

None of the eight bridges over the River Murat, which flows by Bingol, remained intact after the quake. Blood donors gathered in cities and towns throughout Turkey to meet the demand of blood for injured survivors. The rubble of a midwife school in Bingol yielded the mutilated bodies of 10 young girl students. A surgeon trying to save the lives of the school's surviving students said, "these girls were trying to learn how to bring new life in to the world and this was their kismet (fate). I am supposed to be a learned man but now I wish I was born a moron my eyes, my brain, my heart, my hands could not have suffered so much."

(CP) Ontario's rural postmasters decided Monday to ask the federal government for a 23.2-per-cent wage increase and a 35-hour work week, five hours shorter than at present. Delegates to a meeting of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Postmasters Association approved a resolution asking for the increase in 1972.
