The latter resigned after the arrest of his son-in-law, Victor Csornoky, on espionage and treason charges, Washington Spotlight By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington, Aug, 6.--(CP)-- As- suming there is only a small per- centage of truth in the "revela- tions" of espionage in high placss in Washington, now being made openly here, it all looks bad for the administration on the eve of an election. There has been many investiga- tions and committee hearings aim- ed at uncovering any Roosevelt or Truman guilt that might exist but up to now Democrats have claimed with glee that nothing in the way of "scandal has come to light. Now the Republican-controlled committees are piling up charges of carelessness, to say the least, in administration circles which ap- parently has not only kept known suspects in important jobs but transferred them to posts where they would be in a better position to serve as spies for another coun- try. When the Canadian espionage case broke three years ago it was common talk in Washington that the same charges could be brought against people in government and war posts here. : Prime Minister Mackenzie King came to Washington and discussed with President Truman the tie- mendously "hot" and delicate prob- lem he was faced with and the course he was going to pursue. Almost at that very moment Miss Elizabeth Bentley, the Vassar Col- lege graduate whose open ments have electrified committees and the public here in recent days, was telling the same story to ihe Federal Bureau of Investigation agency in New Haven. The outstanding fact which ore- cipated the present flurry of hear- ings and prompted the move to set up a grand jury investigation here was the employment in a highiy- secret capacity of a young man named William Remington. He is a 30-year-old college man, son-in-law of a woman he says is a Communist, who Miss Bentley told the F.BI. and others was one of hgr contacts for secret informa- tion during the war when he was with the War Production Board. He has been before the secret grand jury in New York. He has admitted he had meetings wih Miss Bentley but believed he was only giving her information Zor newspaper stories. He claims he was not a Communist and the "dues" he paid her were contribu- Yous to some anti-Fascist cause. e may be telling the truth. But what the congressional com- mittees are pounding on is that this man, a few months ago, was made chairman of a departmental committee doing top-secret work in the prevention of export of strate- gic war materials to Russia. That is going to take a lot of explaining, Heads will fall and perhaps many of them innocent heads. The administration may be blackened. Steel Workers Return To Jobs Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Aug. 6-- (CP)--A one-day walkout threat- \ ening to tie up general operations of the Algoma Steel Corporation's big basic steel plant here ended Thursday when more than 300 electrical and maintenane workers returned to their jobs.

Minille was half-lifted from the car at the penitentiary entrance, His leg chains appeared to give him only six inches of movement. His return ended two-thirds of the story that started with the escape from Kingston in August, 1947. Ulysses Lauzon recently was found shot to death, apparently a victim of gangland warfare, in Mississippi. Mickey McDonald of Toronto still is free, believed somewhere in the United States. Gunman Shoots At Bishop, Kills 17-Year-Old Boy Bolton, Mass, Aug, 6--(AP)--A brazen young gunman who, police said, admitted firing two wild shots at Suffragan Episcopal Bishop Ray- mond A. Heron and the fatal shoot- ing and axing of a 17-year-old youth in the clergyman's home, was held on open charges today. Frederick S. Pike, 19, of Boston, was held at police barracks after being brought from Providence, R.I., where he was captured Thursday in the Bishop's car three hours after the shooting. Pike waived extradition and was turned over to Massachusetts au- thorities after, police said, he ad- mitted in a signed statement he shot at the Bishop and killed Paul Zayka, a youth who lived with the prelate. Pike, a reformatory parolee, was taken into custody following a bul- let-spattered 75-mile-an-hour chase through heavy traffic. The young gunman boldly ad- mitted shooting Zayka three times with a .25-calibre automatic pistol and then striking the youth with an ax before draggng the body to the cellar of the Bishop's home. Pike was quoted as saying he shot Zayka when the latter put up a struggle after being robbed of $2. The gunman recounted how he confronted the Bishop with a pistol in the driveway of his home, fired two wild shots at him as he fled, and then forced him to return to the house where he robbed him of $25 and keys to his automobile. "I wish I hit him," police quoted Pike as saying, Pike also told police he took a 25-calibre target pistol and a double-barrelled shotgun and cut the telephone wires to the home.

Most communities use municipal by-laws as-~their weapon against atmospheric pollution -- which in- cludes smoke, fumes and flying ash--and already some cities claim improvement. An important part of the cam- paign 'is in effort to persuade in- dustries to use devices to cut. down the volume and density of the smoke their plants emit, This em- braces railway lines, heating equin- ment in office buildings, incinera- tors and ships in harbors. Toronto, said to have a smoke problem greater than any other city of. comparable size in North Am- erica, plans to tackle the smoke abatement job by revising its 1915 smoke by-law and seeking the co- operation of industries. Details of . the campaign will. be worked out this fall when a report of a special committee goes before city council. If the recommenda- tions are approved, a system of checking on smoke emission aad helping plant operators to reduce the nuisance will go into effect.
