Police were put in a state of special alert and barricades were thrown up to check all persons entering the towns the presi- dent visited. PLOT FOILED The security measures appar- ently foiled the plot. Blanchy and Slebodia returned to Paris Saturday night. Early Sunday police grabbed Blanchy at. his home and seized a number of documents that led to more ar- rests. Slebodia got away. Police found 14 bottles of in- flammable butane gas in Blan- chy's car and said they believed it was 'o be used in a fire bomb.

In his testimony today -- his third day on the witness stand --Wright was being questioned on the contents of a diary kept in 1960 by Scott, largely respon- sible for the March convictions of Wright, McDermott and Fee- ley on the same charges. While he had not. passed on the references to politicians to Scott, he said, he had been given his information at the time by Anderson and Shrubb and Shrubb had stated he had "concrete proof.' The former officer said that Shrubb had told him he was glad to get out of the OPP at the time he was leaving for Pe- terborough. He quoted Shrubb as saying he would be going to a place where there would be "none of this pussyfooting with politicians." Wright denied th everacity of entries in Scott diary quoting him as telling Scott--then act- ing as an undercover agent for the OPP--that McDermott and Feeley had "bought" the Pe- terborough job for Shrubb to get im off the anti._- gambling squad.
