Plot to Kill Stopped by BOMBAY, India, May 4 (4)—A policeman foiled an attempt to assassinate Prime Minister Nehru today when he picked up a live bomb fromr - a railway track in the locomotive headlight glare of the Indian ; leader's own onrushing train. The incident occurred at Kalvan railroad hub, 35 miles from Bombay, at 5 a.m., a few minutes before the Amritsar Express thuri:. dered along carrying Nehru from Jlna to Bombay. Patrolling the track, the police man fired on an unidentified man believed to have placed the bomb on the track. His bullets went wide and the trespasser escaped in the early morning gloom. As Nehru's train bore down, the engine's headlight reflected on the bomb and the policeman re moved the explosive, without rec ognizing it at the moment for what it was. Nehru went on from Bombay to New Delhi by plane, arriving late in the day, unaware of his nar row escape: He was concluding a 1200-mile tour of the MahaYash trian famine areas, ending` - at Jalna Recreation Conclave To Open Tomorrow A, camping area set-up by the Recreation 430 class in Hort Woods and a Folk Dance Festival from 7:30 to 11:00 p.m. Thursday in Rec Hall will be included in the Sixth Annual Pennsylvania Recrea tion Conference beginning tomorrow and ending Friday, Fred Coombs, professor of ,physical education, has announced, David Dunbar, assistant camp ing director of Boy Scouts of America, will conduct a camp skills demonstration at the camp site at 2:30 p.m. Thursday for those interested in crafts, skills, venture camping, and counseling.
