THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINZ U.S. Government Official Says Red Spies In Washington + 38 Workers Fired For Being Disloyal Evidence Reveals Washington, Aug. 5 (AP)--Karl Mundt, Republican member of the House of Representatives from South Dakota, said today there is "good reason to believe a Communist spy ring is operating in Washington right now." "We are investigating," the acting chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee told reporters. So far, committee hearings have ¢ dealt only with testimony that a red espionage system was at work in the United States government during the war and that a Com- munist "underground" operated here before the war. However, the Senate investigat- ing committee which is leoking into more recent happenings has turned up evidence that 38 workers have been fired as disloyal since the gov- ernment's loyalty program was set Wp 16 months ago. That came out while the Senate group was trying anew, and still in vain, late Wednesday to get more background information on William W. Remington, suspended $9,975-a~ year commerce department official. Remington came under scrutiny of the Senate Committee after Miss Elizabeth T. Bentley named him as one of her sources of information when she, by her own account, was a courier for the wartime Soviet spy ring. The Un-American Activities Com- mittee planned today to give Alger Hiss, former state department offi- cial active in the founding of the United Nations, the chance he ask- ed to deny officially that he was part of the pre-war Communist underground here. Hiss now heads the Carnegie Foundation for Inler- national Peace in New York. Whittaker Chambers, a self-de- scribed former Communist who said he, too, was a courier for the under- ground, has testified that Hiss and others were part of it. Chambers, now with Time Magazine, said he tried to get Hiss to break away from the reds and that Hiss re- fused, giving "party-line" reasons. After her testimony about Rem- ington before the Senate Commit- ee last Friday, Miss Bentley moved yer to the house committee the 1ext day. There she said she got secret wartime information from two groups of government officials and a number of others independ- ently and sent it on the way to Soviet. agents. Didn't Evade Draft Was Adrift On Raft Wellington, N. Z., Aug. 5--(CP)-- Brought "before a court "here "for failure to report for military service in 1942, Fank Miles, 41, said he was unable to do so because at the time he should have reported he was adrift on a raf in the Atlantic. Evidence showed his ship was sunk under him while serving in the Atlantic at the time he was called for service in New Zealand. "Technically he did not report, put it is nonsensical that this action should have been against him," said the magistrate in dismissing the case.

CBC To Broadcast Convention Talks For All Parties Ottawa, Aug. 56 -- (CP) -- The CBC will broadcast some of the speeches from the Liberal, Progies- sive Conservative and C.C.F. par:y conventions and will provide some special broadcasting time to the Social Credit party during the next two months, A. D. Dunton, chair- man of the CBC Board of Gover- nors announced Wednesday. He said that when the Liberal party decided to hold its national convention Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week to choose a new leader it was not known that the Progressive Conservatives would hold a similar convention later in the year. As a result it originally was de- cided to broadcast come of the speeches from the Liberal conven- tion and to give the Progressive Conservatives, the C.C.F. and So- cial Credit parties th2 equivalent of half the time devoted to con- vention broadcasts. Mr. Dunton said the calling of the Progressive Conservative con- vention provided conditicns for a more simple method of maintain- ing fairness in the free time »l- lotted to the four qualifying politi- cal parties. : The main speeches will be broad- cast from the Liberal convention and from the Progressive Concse:r- vative convention which will be held in Ottawa Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2.

Ambassador Cavendish Cannon, chief of the American delegation, told the 11-power Danube confer- | ence here the Russian proposal for future control of the river "is in- | adequate to assure that freedom of navigation to: which all of us are committed." | He contended the Soviet proposal, | formally presented to the confer- | ence Wednesday, would place ship- | ping on the 1,800-mile-long water- | way under the exclusive control of | Communist Eastern Europe and | would not provide for "the right of ships of all nations to operate on the Danube." 4 He expressed regret at the ab- sence of United Nations observers at the conference, as a result of Russian objections, and said future disputes should be turned over to the international organization for settlement.

Aug. 5--(CP)-- Game officers of Manitoba and Saskatchewan are going to, inves- tigate a "iropical island" which lights the monotonous grey of the barren lands with the vivid green of grtss and boasts towering tim- bers. The island was discovered on an air trip west of the Hudson Bay Port' of Churchill. It is in a lake about one mile long and its trees are reported to be so large they cannot be cut with the light camp axes carried by natives and the few white travellers in the region. Pending investigation, actual lo- cation of the oasis is not being announced. But Harold Wells, su- pervisor of registered traplines for Manitoba, described it as being not far north of Manitoba's north- | ern boundary. This presumably would place it somewhere in the southern stretches of the district of Keewatin, North- west Territories. Mr. Wells expressed the opinion a mineral spring or deposit mus! supply the vegetation with power- ful fertilizer to permit such luxuri- ous growth in the short Arctic summer -- and on an ordinarily treeless waste. Whether the timbered oasis has attracted odd strains of animal or bird life is also to be invesile gated. Mr. Wells said the toweri:3 pines and other trees on the isla: 1 differ from the normal. They ha : limbs which appear to start :% ground level, some as thick as a man's waist.
