Original Toronto Star caption: A Minute's silence is observed at yesterday's football game at CNE Stadium for Pierre Laporte; Quebec labor minister; who was slain Saturday by terrorists. A sportswriter and a photographer from Montreal; in Toronto to cover the Argonaut-Alouette game; were arrested in their hotel room Friday by Metro police; apparently on suspicion of FLQ connections. The two were later allowed to go.
