close the parlimentary debate ‘on

foreign affairs.

The official Communist narty or- :

gan Pravda brought the ‘issue to a head early today with the blunt charge that the current spy scare in Canada was part of a deliberate antl - Russian campaign hy the British Empire. . Pravda accused Canadian Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie King of exposing the Soviet spying In a

sensational manner only to divert| { Mtention from Mr. Bevin's “fall-

ures” in the United Nations meet ing in London. Radio Moscow transmitted the editorial a few bours after it broadcast a statement admitting that Russia had obtained “insignificant secret data” from Canada, Clashed Several Times The original statement charged that Canada had adopted an antiSoviet attitude on the question and had acted in a manner “incompatible ' with normal relations between the two countries.” “That's why Mr. Mackenzie King timed the statement precisely at the moment the assembly ses-

. sion ended,” the editorial said.

Mr. Bevin clashed several times

during the recent United Nations

security council session with Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet vice foreign commissar. The Russian denounced British policy in Greece, Indonesia and the Levant, Mr. Bevin denied all the charges in forthright language, even using the word “lie.” . Pravda said the alleged Canadian government attempt to inflict political damage on the Soviet Union had failed. “This is not the first time that kindlers of anti-Soviet campaigns have been unmasked,” it said. “They will be unmasked now as defenders of a cause which has nothing in common with the interests of democracy and the development of hormal relations between statas.” Thé London Daily Mail, commenting on Russia’s latest attack on the motives of British Empire members, said British government leaders were “disquieted, even salarmed” at the trend. Attache Is Recalled The Russian broadcast last night said that the Soviet military attache in Canada, Col. Nicolai Zabotin, had been recalled because members of his staff had obtained secret information from Canadian citizens about atomic energy and radar. Moscow belittled the information received, saying it already had received better information from publications. It said the information could not affect the security of

Canada. The broadcast condemned Canadian newspapers, allegedly supported by the Canadian government, for using Mr. MacKenzie King’s announcement that an espionage ‘ring had been uncovered as an excuse for an “unbridled anti-

Senate Asks How to Best Guard Bomb

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U. P). --The senate’s atomic energy committee today called on army and justice department officials for information on how best to safeguard atomic bomb secrets. Maj. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, chief of the army's atomic bomb. project, and James M. McInerney, of the Justice department's espionage section will tell committeemen in closed session what legal safeguards are

CLOTHING SHORTAGE DUE TO EASE SOON

the country’s textile mills to produce the same proportion of cotton fabric as they did in 1942. If their overall production increased that would mean an automatic increase in material for low-cost clothing. Chiefly affected by the program would be such critically short items as men's shirts and shorts, pajamas, women's wash dresses, work clothing and industrial fabrics. The cost of most of these items would increase only a few cents. A medium” priced shirt, for instance, might cost six cents more. Even so the program was not expected to do more than meet the minimum needs for low-cost clothIng. Government officials said first results of the program would not be felt on the retail market for about

three months.

And even then it will not mean that “anyone will be able to buy anything he wants,” officials said. Mr. Bowles seconded that. He told the house banking committee that at the beginning the program should increase production of low-cost clothing about 40 per cent. Eventually, “he said, that figure may climb as high as 50 per cent. The program was worked out at a conference of government officials with textile mill representatives. It specifically provides for: ONE: A one-cent a pound increase on textiles to take care of higher parity costs on cotton. TWO: A 2%-cent a pound ine crease on textiles to cover recent wage increases granted by the mills. THREE: An incentive price increase of 5 per cent on cotton prints, corded broadcloth, narrow gheeting, denims, chambray and chafer fabric used in tire manufacture. Industry . representatives were said to feel that a more liberal

probable. He said that the only way to avoid such a catastrophy was to “put fellowship, faith and wodliness to work.” “Our country should set the example for the world in righteous living and brotherhood if we are to prevent destruction of the human family,” Mr. Schricker maintained. “The strength of the nation lies in our communities.” Ray D. Everson.of the Acton club got things under way with his hoinespun farm jokes. He is editor of Farmer's Guide, only magazine in the United States edited on a farm. : Mr. Everson was managing editor of the Indianapolis News until 1934 when he had to resign because of sickness. A doctor told him he had just a month to live; so he purchased a 500-acre farm one mile west of Acton and prepared to enjoy that month. Today he is as healthy as any Hoosier. Beech Grove Lions, then, introduced the Foster Hall Quartet, who have made recordings of all of Stephen Foster's ‘mejodies for El Lilly & Co. - Pays 10-Cent Fine When Lynne H. Hull, zone chairman, announced the next act, he mistakenly called on Southport instead of Greenwood -and was fined 10 cents by the “Tail Twister.” The Rev. M. K. Richardson, pastor of Smith Valley United Brethren church, spoke for the Greenwoed organization. He started Brookside United Brethren church 36 years ago and has been at Smith Valley over three years. His church, incidentally, is celebrating its 96th anniversary Sunday. The meeting ended in a blaze of “boogie” and popular music when ex-serviceman Ken Sims, entertainer for the Southport Lions, played the piano. A native Hoosier born in Odon, Mr. Sims is a New York entertainer. He is presently studying music at Arthur Jordan conservatory under Dorothy Munger and will soon head for California and a contract with CBS. Have Song Battle Earlier in the evening a big song battle took the spotlight. Club members and their wives were divided into two sections, one led by Jack Tilson, Marion county clerk, and the other by Eugene Gaspard, salesman for Fred A. Beck & Co. Several others attending the banquet were: Mack Parker, chief engineer and building supervisor of Hotel Lincoln for 23 years; Charles Adams, mayor of Beech Grove for two terms and now supervisor of clerks in the municipal courts record department, and Himie Greenburg, department store owner in Beech Grove. Dr. Leon Berger, Beech Grove dentist, mentioned the fact that at one time he had filled teeth for most of the Times staff. Dinner service in charge of Mrs. Leslie Dorrell was capably handled by ladies of the W. 8. C. 8. and Wesleyan Guild of the Methodist church. The Rev. Kenneth Vandeventer,

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 departed. Demonstrators set fire to British army buildings and ‘smashed foreign shops in the area of the Ismaila square. A crowd moved menacingly upon the British embassy. Armed 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. Thirty. of the 130 wounded when British machine gunners opened fire on the group storming the Ksar El Nil barracks were reported in serious condition. ; Demonstrators set fire to a ear park at British headquarters near the barracks. Fire brigades were fighting the blaze. A British military truck was turned over and set on fire outside the British ministry of information building. ‘The occupants of the truck were stoned as they scrambled away from the blazing machine.

Police armed with staves stood by. » All shops and public establishments in Alexandria were closed, the dispatches said, and no trams or busses were running.
