By the Assoclated Press. NELSON, British Columbia, March 28. lot to assassinate Peter Verigen, head of a hunch of the Doukhobor sect, was seen by Staff Sergeant Stephenson of the British Columbia police today in the bombing of a store at Glade. Stephenson said a detonating cap with fuse was placed on top of a drum of gascline in the basement of the buil flln', directly under the room in which Verigen customarily slept, For some reason, Stephenson said, Verigen decided to sieep elsewhere last night. The building was not badly damaged. Peter’s fatter, who preceded him in Tuling this sect of the Doukhobors, was killed several years ago in an explosion on the Kettle Valley Railroad. Stephenson attributed the plot to fa- natic members of the sect, who have fired three schocls in the Grand Forks area and one near Nelson recently. Stations Heard in Washington Regularly. Kcys. .

By the Associated Press. C. C. Teague, vice chairman of the Farm Board, charged n a radio speech today that large sums of money had been raised “to inaugurate publicily campaigns to discredit the agricultural marketing act and the work of the Farm He sald many smoke screens have been set up and herrings dragged across the trail to divert attention of the pub- lic from the major th'ng the Farm Boerd is trying to do, “namely, to as- sist the farmers in setting up a co-oper- ative system of marketing for farm products, grower-owned-and-controlled.” “Attention has been focused upon the efforts of the Farm Board to stabilize he prices of wheat and cotton,” he said. ‘Stabilization operations are.considered by the board to be purely of an emer- gency character.” Teague said the greatdst op to the board’s program develoncd from dealers and speculators at the point of production. Defending the market operations of the board in 1929 and 1930, the vice chairman said: “I am of the opinion that the bene- fits to the country resulting from efforis to sustain prices of wheat ‘and cotton during these trying conditions will far outweigh any cost, even though conmb erable money is lost in the operation.” With emergency stabilization - at an end and drought conditions minimized, the board will push its drive for farm- er crganization, he said. il Sk R I During the overhauling of- a taxicab in London recently a valuable diamond drop earring was found in the slot where the window drops, and a search for the owner has been started.

She plays with dolls, and | frequently puzzles over the spelling of names in electric lights which she has not.yt learned to read. Because of her theatrical career she has not at- tended any one school regularly, but studies directly under the supervision of her parents. Baby Rose Marie is an unusual child in oth'r ways. She began to walk at the age of 9 months, talked at 13 months, and won an amateur stage prize at the age of 2 years.

In each broadcast Alban sings 16 measures of “Happy Days Are Here Again,” rquiring about 26 seconds. However, that does not take rehearsals into consideration.
