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.

Leeway Given
On Granting
Wage Boosts
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U.PJ
The government moved today
to encourage quick settlement of
industrial disputes during the
transition to the administration's
new wage-price policy.
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-

OPA 'Bungling'
Control of prices on many art
icles and classes of commodities
still is essential, but maladminis

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'

Plywood Vote
Set for Feb. 27
The long-awaited election to
settle the issue of a collective bar
gaining agent for employes of the
Springfield Plywood Corp. will be
held Wednesday, Feb. 27, it was
announced Tnursday Dy rnomas
P. 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

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

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

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.
