LANE COUNTY'S EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1946 USSR Rails at Canada For 'Protecting Bevin' Espionage Admitted; Results Said Meaqer LONDON, Feb. 2 1 OP) Russia said today its representatives had obtained "insignificant , . . secret data" in Canada and its press ac cused the Canadian government of using the espionage expose for "an unbridled anti-Soviet cam paign." The Moscow newspaper Pravda, organ of the Communist party, charged editorially that Canada made the statement to distract at tention from the "political failure" of British Foreign Secretary Ern est Bevin at the United Nations Assembly meeting. A Canadian spokesman com mented in Ottawa: "The Soviet statement started out as an admission of guilt suffi cient to cause the withdrawal of its military attache, and then pro ceeded to minimize the whole mat ter and sought to make political capital by imputing motives to the Canadian government." The Canadian government was under increasing pressure to lift the news blackout on the investi gation into the alleged spy plot. IT. S. Holds Secrets While the wordfest continued across the arctic wastes, a survey in Washington showed that the top secrets of the atomic bomb re mained with the United States ex clusively. These included the industrial process for mass production of the bomb material; the component parts of the completed bombs; and the precise information on pres sures, radioactivity, heat and other characteristics of the explosion. Pravda's lengthy editorial ex plained the Canadian spy state ment with this assertion: "Someone obviously had to help Bevin to distract attention - frorn his failures at the session of the assembly. It is clear new that (Canadian Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie) King decided to aid directly but took upon himself another task to distract attention from Bevin's political failure at the session of the assembly." Admission Broadcast The Russian government state ment acknowledging some data had been obtained first was broad cast last night from Moscow. "The Soviet military attache In Canada received from acquain tances among Canadian citizens certain information of a secret character which, however, did not present a special interest to (CONTINUEDON PAGE 2) Finns Sentence War.Leaders HELSINKI, Feb. 21 (U.B Eight of Finland's wartime lead ers headed by ex-President Risto Ryti were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 2 to 10 years today on charges of taking their country into war against the Al lies. A Finnish war crimes tribunal imposed the stiffest sentence 10 years at hard labor on Ryti as leader of the government that plunged Finland into the world conflict on the side of Germany. Former Premier Juko Wilhelm Rangell was sentenced to six years of Imprisonment and terms of 514 years each were imposed on ex-Premier Edwin Linkomies and ex-Finance Minister Vaino Tanner.

To prevent the freezing of la bor disputes at their present sta tus while new regulations and practices are devised, retiring Stabilization Director John C. Collett announced that employers could grant wage increases with out advance approval up to March 15 without forfeiting their right to ask price relief. They would be required to apply to the Wage Stabilization Board for approval within 30 days after raises were reflected in payrolls. Meanwhile, the wage-price pol icy was receiving attention from union and company representa tives of two industries coal and rubber which hold a still-un-clarified status under the new program. President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers and the union's district presidents were conferring behind closed doors for the second successive day at UMW headquarters. It was announced they had voted to call the union's wage policy committee into ses sion here March 11. Only the UMW policy committee can frame formal wage demands. Representatives of the United Rubber Workers (CIO) and the "Big Four" of the rubber indus try began bargaining today over the union's seven-point wage-and- hour program. Spokesmen said discussion during the past two days had been devoted to Mpre- hminary items' and that actual bargaining would begin today. OP A Adjusts Lumber Prices WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 04 OPA today announced an adjust ment of prices which it said would mean an increase of approxi mately $1.10 a thousand board feet in mill price ceilings for Douglas fir, western hemlock and true fir lumber, effective March 6. The agency ordered a readjust ment of prices which it said will increase ceilings on some of these items and reduce them on others. The readjustment, OPA added. will give mills a profit three per dent greater than at present, and an approximate average realiza tion of $40 per 1000 board feet on Douglas fir. OPA said the new price regula tion is designed primarily to stim ulate production of lumbar needed for home construction. . It added that the measure will not increase costs to builders and home owners, since "the margins of retail distributors are ample to absorb the increase to an extent which will hold the average level of price to that existing before the increase." "The lumber price amendment announced in Washington by the OPA is a postwar adjustment to the requirements of home build ers for lumber and has not been given as compensation for lumber wage increases," H. J. Cox, secretary-manager of Willamette Val ley Lumbermen's Assn. said here Thursday. The lumber price amendment bears no comparison whatever with recent OPA In creases in steel price, Cox empha sized. "The OPA is straightening out a wartime distortion of lumber prices," Cox stated. "It is akin to the cancellation of military lum- (CONTINUED ON PAGE 2) Anti-CVA Forces Said Ready for Test SPOKANE, Feb. 21-MP) A di rector of the Pacific Northwest Development Association said to day that "varied interests in the Northwest opposed to creation of a Columbia Valley Authority are prepared to make a convincing showing ki Congress whenever the Mitchell bill comes up for a hear ing." Fred Wolf, Newport, said at a meetinz of the Spokane Construe Hon Council, that a CVA would be "both socialistic and auto cratic." "It might be said" of the Ten nessee Valley, he declared, "that it has sold out its birthright for a mess of pottage." OPA HEAD CONFIRMED WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. UP) The Senate today, by unanimous consent, confirmed Paul A. Por ter the new chief of price con trols.

The citation was announced at the club's meet ing Wednesday evening. (Ken- nell-EUis photo, Wiltshire engrav ing.) (See Story on Page 7.) Ellsworth. Hits OPA 'Bungling' Control of prices on many art icles and classes of commodities still is essential, but maladminis tration by OPA may prevent renewal of the price control act, declared Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore) in his Feb. 21 "Letter from Washington." Ellsworth comments that "the hopelessly bad, administration of the law has made people so dis gusted that, . regardless of the dangers of removing price con trols, things couldn't be much worse." OPA regulations, he states, ai'-slowing up, even' strangling production. "Woolen mills cannot make 100 pax cent virgin wool suiting and will not ruin their reputations in the trade by making shoddy cloth. Manufacture of radio sets is held up because OPA has not set prices on certain small parts. Regulations on. milk and cream virtually stopped the manufacture of butter. The regulations were supposed to hold down prices. The result was that housewives bought whipping cream and churned their own butter at more than a 50 per cent increase in the cost of butter. ...

Graham Jr., director of the 19th regional office of the National Labor Relations Board, Seattle. The noils will be open 1 at the mill entrance from 7 to 9 a.m. and from 3 to 5 p.m. Employes are to decide whether they wish to be represented by the Plywood and Veneer Workers Local 9-233 (CIO), whose present contract will expire in April, or the Car penters Local 2787 (AFL), or whether thev wish to have no representative at all. Nearlv 300 employes of the plant will be eligible to vote in the elec tion, which includes "all produc tion and maintenance employes, with the exception of office em ployes and supervisory employes with authority to hire, promote, discharge, discipline or otherwise effect changes in the status of em ployes or effectively recommend such action," who were on the payroll for the period ending Feb. 15, 1946. Disagreement over a bargaining agency for the Springfield plant was main cause of the strike which tied up the operation last year. At that time the War Labor Board refused to allow an election, on the ground that an industry-wide contract with the CIO was In ef fect and could not be canceled. World Conscription Ban Deemed Futile WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 W) President Truman said today he did not believe it would be prac tical to try to abolish peacetime conscription throughout the world. He expressed this opinion at a news conference after he was told the House Military Affairs Com mittee might propose such a ban before acting on the President's request for universal training legislation.

Pearl Harbor Committee Faces Difficult Task of Decision WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (P) Ten members of Congress who have heard millions of words on the subject took a rest today before tackling the job of trying to decide who was to blame for Pearl Harbor. After a week or so, Chairman Barkley (D, Ky) told a reporter, there will be numerous closed door meetings "and we'll all be working on it." The report is due by June 1. Barkley added that if the members agree on some general approach, committee attorneys will set to work drawing up some conclusions of the long Senate-House Investigation Into the 1941 military disaster. Pub lic hearings ended yesterday afternoon after almost daily ses sions since Nov. 15. May Query Hull, S Unison Barkley said each member will be permitted during the next two weeks to draw up Indian Sailors Mutiny At Bombay; Outbreaks Disrupt Cairo English Forces Move to Quell Disturbances; Chinese Students Strike to Oppose Russians BULLETIN BOMBAY, Feb. 21 (AP) British troops and striking seamen of the Roysl Indian Navy battled near the Bombay . waterfront today while warcraft of the mutineers maneu vered in the harbor. Bloody civilian riots broke out In thai heart of the city tonight. , Prime Minister Clement Attlee announced in Commons today that "certain vessels of the Royal Navy" were pro ceeding to Bombay where Indian sailors in "open mutiny" have seized a flotilla of war ships and have engaged in pitched battles with British Tommies and Indian troops. Associated Press and United Press wires both report grave conflict in the Indian port Thursday, simultaneously as dispatches from Cairo tell of violent anti-British demonstrations in Egypt. , The day's news also includes reports of unrest in Man churia where Chinese students and college professors have struck in protest to continuing occupation of that country by the Soviet Union. Individual reports follow: Riots in Cairo CAIRO, Feb. 21. 01.(9 Anti British rioting flared through Cairo today with inflamed Egyptian bands storming all British military establishments in the center of the city and 140 casualties were reported in only one of the many bloody skirmishes. Thousands of Egyptians thronged the r'airo streets brandishing clubs and clamoring "Revolt against the British" and "Down with the British." As fast as harried authorities dis persed crowds, the demonstrat ors regrouped at other points. British machine g u n n e r 1 opened fire on a mob charg ing the Ksar El Nil Barracks. Early reports said 10 men were killed and 130 wounded in the battle touched off when the demonstrators broke through the gate and onto the parade ground. Army infantry and tanks, both British and Egyptian, went into action on a battle scale. They took over from the out matched Cairo police and im posed virtual martial law on the city which for two weeks has been wracked by sporadic man ifestations against the British. Calroltes Rise The demonstraUons began as student' affairs. Today masses of Cairoltes, armed with sticks or whatever weapons came to British'' military centers, with outbursts, of violence reported from all quarters of the pity. . British military trucks and other vehicles were attacked wherever they appeared. Time after time they were overturned and usually they were set afire before the shouting bands de parted. Demonstrators set fire to Brit ish army buildings and smash ed foreign shops in the area of the Ismaila Square. A crowd moved menacingly upon the British Embassy. Arm ored cars of the Egyptian army barred the way. After a period of indecision the crowd halted before the barrier, and police began dispersing them. Other Egyptians attacked Royal Air Force messes near Ksar El Nil Street and threw flaming cans of gasoline into British buildings. Truman Still Backs Pauley WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 W President Truman said today he intended to back Edwin W. Pauley to the limit in his fight for con firmation as Navy undersecretary. The President told his news conference he usually backed any man he was for, when asked whether the suggestion of Senator Stewart (D, Tenn)' that Pauley should withdraw would change his attitude. A reporter, repeating a ques tion that has been asked of the President at two previous news conferences, wanted to know whether Mr. Truman Intended to withdraw Pauley's nomination. The President gave a flat, "No." questions they want put to formerBecretary of State Cor dell Hull and former Secretary of War Henry L. Stlmson. Both have been ill a long time. Stlmson has not testi fied at all and Hull only briefly early in the hearing. Barkley said he will send the questions as finally drawn to the two ail ing former cabinet officers. There also Is a possibility of other witnesses being called, the chairman said, If studies of the testimony indicate gaps that need filling. Antl-Cllnux Fewer than 20 spectators and about the same number of re porters and photographers were on hand at the final hour. This contrasted with about 100 re porters, photographers, newsreel men and radio workers and as many hundreds of spectators as could crowd in at tht outset. Anti-British India Mutiny ; BOMBAY, Feb. 21 (U.PJ Mu tiny in the ranks of the Royal Indian Navy erupted in bloody violence today, prompting a threat by Vlce-Adm. John Henry Godfrey to put down the insurrection at all costs, even tor the destruction of the fleet it self. "A state of open mutiny pre vails, In r.-hlch the rating (sailors) appear to have com pletely lost control of their senses," Godfrey said. Mutinous sailors seized con trol of several ships in Bombay Harbor and fought a pitched battle with British and Indian troops around the Castle Bar racks In the center of the city. Godfrey, commander of the Royal Indian Navy, broadcast a stern warning from Bombay headquarters In the face of the 1 spreading mutiny. '; Godfrey said the government was determined to use its over whelming forces "to their utter most, even if It means the de struction of the navy of which we have been so proud." The government,. Godfrey, said, will "never give In to vio . lence;" He told the mutineers that it was "the height of folly', to continue the struggle. .',t. '""Tentative reports on the bat tle of the barracks, where a band of sailors, were barricaded and holding out against besieging troops,: said at least 20 persons had been wounded. No author itative casualty report w a s available. ' The sailors have been rioting for four days after striking for faster demobilization and better service conditions.

More than 10,000 students and 1500 professors and teachers from 17 schools struck today In a demand for immediate with drawal of Russian troops front Manchuria. Bitterly charging the Russians had violated the Chinese-Soviet friendship treaty, the students hoisted banners saying, "We won't hesitate to fight another war." r This was the first time sine the Japanese seizure of Man churia In 1931 that a patriotic movement had developed among students on such a scale. t Manifesto Issued The students issued a "man ifesto to the world" setting out their opinions on the Manchur lan situation. These stipulated that Russia strictly carry out terms of the treaty; opposition to any new Russian demands beyond, the treaty; Immediate withdrawal of Russian troops: return of material looted from Man churia; strict observance of cease-fire terms in Manchuria by the Communist Party and that the government announce actual conditions In Manchuria. The students urged that all parties "forget their selfish in terests and unite to carry the. nation through the new national crisis." The strikers planned all-day demonstrations tomorrow in cluding a 20-mile parade through Chungking's streets and visits to the Soviet Embassy and Communist headquarters to deliver protests. ' The students also prepared a petition to the national govern ment urging stronger diplomatic steps against Russia .and pro testing against granting - any more concessions.
