Verigin, leader of Canada’s largest Doukhobor sect and holder of the Order of Canada, was accused last Thursday of ordering the burn- ing of several buildings belong- ing to his own sect plus the home of a rival. The accusations were made in county court during the trial of five Sons of Freedom Douk- hobor women who are charged with arson and conspiracy to commit arson in connection ‘witha May 19 attempt to burn the home of their leader Stefan Sorokin. 1 The accused, sitting naked in the prisoner's dock to protest the court proceedings against them, endorsed a statement entered as evidence by the defence that they attempted to burn the home on the direct orders of Verigin and had been threatened by him with a seven-generation curse if they did not comply. : The five accused, Mary Braun, of Krestova, B.C., Mari lyn Stoochnoff, of Winlaw, B.

The plane crashed after the flight crew tried to abort a landing at the Cranbrook air- port when it spotied.a snow- clearing machine on the run- way. A coroner's inquest earlier this year was told that a thrust reverser remained open when the pilot aborted the landing, causing the plane to veer lo the left, crash and burst into flames. In his affidavit, Davies said the Boeing 737 is controllable with one thrust reverser de- ployed, He based the conclusion on Boeing flight tests and a simulation analysis done at the request of Transport Canada. - The is part of Bocing's defence against multi- million-dollar lawsuits arising out of the crash, Warm-Up Huts Controversy Aired at Public Meeting Here The forest service-private enterprise. confrontation over warm-up huts near Nancy Greene Lake was amicably re- solved, for the present, al a special meeting held here last Thursday.
