Khrushchev also said a meeting in Europe "in Geneva, Vienna, Paris or any other place" would support proposals of French Premier Charles de Gaulle.

Police set the time of the explosions as shortly before 5 a.m. The third bomb tore a 20-squarefoot crater in the roadbed and bent a rail on the Canadian Pacific Railway line two miles north of Oliver at 6:30 a.m. The outrages were discovered before any trains were due over the lines.

More than 140 uniform and plainclothes officers formed a tight security cordon around the princess when it was feared terrorists might strike.

Last bombing was in Nelson a week ago when a power pole was destroyed. As for his proposal for a five-power summit meeting, he said: "It seems that an effort is made to bury the previous idea of the conference. We cannot accept this." Mr. Khrushchev said the Soviet government had accepted in substance Prime Minister Macmillan's July 22 proposal for summit talks within the framework of the Security Council, and added: "But now you Mr. President, and the prime minister of Great Britain, are backing away from this proposal." Mr.

Khrushchev had suggested today. July 28. as the date for starting a New York meeting. In reply. President Eisenhower said it was up to the Security, Council to determine such things as date, place, procedure and participants.
