HOPES TO SAVE RUSS RELATIONS

King Doubts Stalin Knew of Spying.

OTTAWA, March 19 (U, P)~— Prime Minister Mackenzie King was still hopeful today that diplo-| matic relations between his government and the Soviet Union could be salvaged, despite his report on

a Russian “fifth column” operating|°

in Canada. “There are.some people who are saying that we should sever relations with Russia,” the 71-year-old premier said. “I hope that no view of that kind will be expressed by anyone in a responsible position.” Mr. King, solemn and gravefaced, gave a full report in commons last night on Russian espionage which has confronted his government with “as serious a situation as has existed in Canada at any time.” Mr. King revealed that the espionage ring operated during the war when Canada and Russia were fighting a common enemy. For 3 or 4 Years

He told commons that the investigation of the spy ring, which already has resulted in the arrest of 15 Canadians—including a Communist member of parliament— had revealed that Soviet agents had sought information of “great and grave import to the United States and Great Britain.” “Espionage has been carried on for three or four years in this country,” he said. Mr. King said he took such a grave view of the situation after learning the details that he immediately visited President Truman in Washington and Prime Minister Attlee in London to apprise them of the facts. He even had considered a trip to Moscow to see Premier Josef Stalin, he said. He added that he did not believe the Soviet generalissimo knew that his espionage agents were operating in Canada. Considered Stalin Visit

“1 am sure the marshla would not condone such activities,” he said, explaining that “circumstances” had forced him to’abandon the idea of a visit to the Russian capital. . Mr. King warned the members of commons not to be prejudicial of Russia until all the facts were known, acing that “what has happened here may have been the action of a few men which I am certain would not be countenanced by the Russian people. Documents “taken from the yaults of the Soviet embassy” in Ottawa by Igor Gouzenko, a cypher clerk in the office of the Russian military attache, Col. N. Zaboton, formed the basis of the evidence against the spy ring, he said. He did not reveal specific information the documents contained, but said they “related to plans and records for munitions, troop movements and other serious matters.”

Mr. Springer to head the party organization. Governor Gates, reportedly behind ‘Mr. Springer, is expected to sit in on Friday's committee meet~ ing. His presence is expected to furnish the answer to a vital question in the minds of the “anti” faction—the question of whether or not the governor will “crack the whip” in support of his candidate. Decision Up to Governor If the governor insists on Mr. Springer, recalcitrant district chairmen aver, Mr. Springer will be elected by a unanimous vote, If, on the other hand, the governor is not willing to take a stern attitude, party leaders feel Mr. Springer’s name may not even be presented for a final vote. Basis for .opposition to the patronage secretary is reported to'be dissatisfaction among certain county and district organizations with the method of distributing state patronage jobs. From Mr, Jenner's standpoint, it was understood, his resignation and subsequent candidacy will be based on agreement in high quarters that the party organization will be left pretty much as he has set it up. Expect News March 30 Long delay in his resignation, it has been reported, resulted from Mr. Jenner's unwillingness to turn over the party to new leadership until that leadership was committed along certain policy lines. His announcement for se Tr was expected to come before Mar 30 when the Indiana Republican Editorial association meets here. His entrance into the. race, Jenner - backers hope, may forestall

The information, some of which

GROUP TO INDIA

Seeks ‘Solution of Political Future of Country. By HAROLD GUARD

United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, March 19.—A British

solution for the political future of India's 400,000,000 restless people. It was understood that the Brit-

the msision should remain in India until a solution is found, if one can be found. The mission was due at New Delhi on Sunday. All available officials believed that India would elect to remain within the British commonwealth of nations, despite Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee’s offer of complete independence. : The cabinet ministers will consider, in conjunction with Indian leaders, whether India should become a completely independent nation, a self-governing component of the British commonwealth of nations, or be divided into separate Moslem and Hindu states. Question Not Simple Members of the British mission are Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the board of trade; A. V. Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, and Lord Pethick-Lawrence, secretary of state for India. Against a background of growing famine and rampant nationalism, the political leaders are seeking al solution for a great sub-continent torn by internal dissension, religious strife between Hindus and Moslems and hatred for the British. , It is not simply a question of a united India trying to shake off British control. Under growing pressure, and with one eye on possible Russian ambitions in the Middle East, the British government has promised India total independence if desired. Indian political leaders are fighting about what they want. Urges Division The Moslem league, a belligerent minority led by Mohammed Ali Jinnah, demands that India should be divided into twa states, one for Hindus and the other, called Pakistan, for Moslems. Jinnah’s avowed alternative for Pakistan and Moslem majority rights is a “holy civil war” backed by 100,000,000 Moslems. He attacked Mr. Attlee’s offer of independence last week, and has been assailing Mohandas K. Gandhi, spiritual leader of the -Hindus in the All-India congress (Nationalist) party. Jinnah has charged that Gandhi 1s “bribing the British labor government to come to terms with the Congress party by promising flourishing trade in India.” Jinnah May Back Down

There appeared some grounds for believing that Jinnah might be prepared to back down considerably. Two days ago he said he had “an honest desire for a peaceful settlement by negotiatien.” High Indian sources claimed that Jinnah feels his position weakening. Nationalist leaders of the Congress party welcomed the tone of Mr. Attlee’s speech, but are clam-

successful bid of 1938.

Skagg said the shooting came when Williams stopped the car and told the hitchhikers, “This is as far as we go.” Skagg stepped out of the car and pushed the front seat forward to let the strangers out, he told police. “One of them hit me over the head,” he told police. “I fell into the ditch and couldnt get up. I heard four shots.” : Police said Williams was shot three times, through the head, hand and side. The hitch-hikers then drove away with the car, Skagg said.

to be pressing Iran for oll concessions, presumably linking the demand with the continued presence of the Red army troops in North Iran despite a treaty pledge to get them out March 2. The new Soviet ambassador to Tehran, E. V. Sadchikov, was due to arrive today or tomorrow and it was that he would make a last minute effort to obtain a settlement with Iran before the security council meeting. ; There was no official confirmatio of Mr. Truman's reported consideration of an appeal to Stalin. If made, it probably would be promised on the vital necessity of maintaining Big Three unity. High Ranking Soviet Suggestions were that Stalin might be asked to withdraw his troops as a gesture of confidence in the United Nations Organization and also, possibly, send one of his top foreign aides, either Foreign Minister V.
