SPAIN REPLIES CHARGES OF
 UNITED STATES

MADRID, March 19.-The Span ish government, meeting charge with counter-charge, declares the United States planned an invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in 1914 and carried on espionage in Span- lsh North Africa in 1943.
 The Foreign Ministry. in 5000 word reply to the U. s. State De- partment's White Book of March accusing Spain of cooperating with the Axis during the war, flatly de- ilied the charges and added. "The conduct of Spain toward the United States during the war and postwar years has been irreproachable."
 The document asserted that Gen. eralissimo Francisco Franco firct avoided and later refused German request that Spain participate in the European war.
 Nevertheless, it is said, Spain had ito present complaints to the North American nation because of acti- yities of its officials and secret ser- vice agents" It said these activities were related '"to certain subversive attempts to Spanish territory, es- pecially in Malaga and Melilla."
 Malaga, in southern Spain, is di- rectly across the Mediterranean from Melilla, in Spanish Morocco.

BARTLETT RESENTS DELAY IN OPENING
 DEEP SEA FISHING

WASHINGON, March 19.-Dele- gate Bartlett of Alaska said today the Interior Departments action in delaying the opening of the deep sea fishing in Alaskan waters from March Is to May lis shocking"
 Bartlett said deep sea fishing in Alaska always opened March IS.
 The Department notified fish ermen on March IA" Bartlett said, that it had decided to delay the opening of the season until May II as a conservation matter
 The action was shocking, for the fishermen had no previous warning that such action was con- templated and no hearings had been held. Some already had start ed from Southeast Alaska to the fishing grounds and the other deep sea fishermen were ready to start the next day. There is no justice in such an arbitrary action"

KING GIVES DETAILS OF
 SPY SYSTEM
Activities Were Extended Through Dominion Into
 U. ,. and Britain

OTTAWA, March l9.--Prime Min ister w. L. Mackenzie King told Parliament last night that his gov- ernment was gravely concerned over Russian espionage activities which he said had extended through the Dominion into the U. s. and Britain, but he frowned on the idea of an open break between Canada and Russia.
 voicing his belief that General ssimo Stalin was ignorant of the espionage activities, King empha- sized Canada's desire for "only the best of relations with the US.SR."
 A tense House heard the e0-min- ute address in which the Prime Minister reviewed the course of his governments investigation into an alleged Russian spy plot. the first nkling of which was given by King himself last Feb IS in public statement that caused sensation in Britain and the United States as well as Canada.
 Canada Used As Base
 He told Parliament that docu- nents seized in the espionage in- quiry and accepted by the govern ment as being of undoubted au- thenticity. disclose among other things that Canada was being made J base to secure information on matters of very great and grave concern to the United States and 4lso to Great Britain"
 The Prime Minister said further nat these documents showed that information was being sought through agents here with respect to many matters that were of the utmost concern to Canada. the United States and the United King tom.' He did not elaborate except to repeat previous official an- nouncements that troop movements and scientific data were sought.
 Serious Situation
 King said that operations con- ducted through the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa went back as far as l943 end 1914 and had created "as ser- ious a situation as has existed In Canada at any time." having po- .entially "far-reaching repercus- slons."
 He drew a distinction, however. between the Soviet agents. who he said, had conducted the espionage, and Generalissiino Stalin and the Russian people.
 T know he said, Tor have learn ed of MT. Stalin from those who have been closely associated with him in the war. that which causes us to believe that he would not countenance action of this kind on the part of his country. and be- iieye that when these facts are known to him and to others in po- sitions of full responsibility, we shall find that change will come that will make vast difference indeed"

CHURCHILL HAS
 GREAT HOPES OF
 TAXATION UNITY

NEW YORK, March 19.--Win- ston Churchill held out the pros rect today of America and Great Britain rendering unprecedented services to humanity lat this junc- ture" by walking forward together with no aims of conquest, subju- gation or advancement of the sordid interests"
 The former British Prime Min ister, after being awarded an hon. orary degree of Doctor of Laws at Columbia University yesterday, also emphasized the importance of Eng fish and history, and added:
 Even our Communist friends should study this. They should study the admirable modern works on the life and the soul of the white ant. That will show not only great deal about their past but will give a very fair indication of their future"
 Churchill did not expand upon his allusicn.
 (The ant quip brought this ex- nlanation from Dr. Howard E. An thony, Dean of the scientific staff of the American Museum of Natur- al History:
 t'Ihe white ant is a termite and he individual ant has absolutely no say. They all work for the community and they have probably been in this communal fix for mill lions of years. at a dead end. Now 1t seems to be, as far as in- dividuals are concerned. that's not a very desirable state.')

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = It's no secret that there's been considerable talk among the brass hats in the Pen tagon Building about war with Rus sia. Some of this comes from men who honestly feel war is inevitable and favor getting it over with right now. Others chiefly favor little war talk because of it's help in pas sing military conscription.
 { However, there can be no doubt about the views of the top military man in the War Department Gen. Dwight Eisenhower.
 Two or three weeks ago Eisen- hover was attending Washington dinner party when people began to talk about war with Russia. Irked by the conversation, he remarked that he was amazed that so many people should suddenly be seriously considering the idea of war with Russia"
 Then the Chief of Staff proceed ed to give a pointed lecture on the foolishness of this war talk, which can be briefly summarized as fol- lows:
 People who want war should only think a few minutes about the sacrifice Russia has made in the past five years-a loss of life and property so large we cannot con- ceive of it. A people who have suf- fered such a loss will not turn tail before any military force in the world today. But at the same time

 Challenged On Voting Record.
Unsediing Hearing High lighted by WdIkouf of
 Senator Butrovilh

Third Division Senate seat-hold- CT Steve McCutcheon was not pre- sent in the Senate Chamber here last evening when evidence was taken by the Senate's Judiciary Committee to support challenge of solonic status-but, everybody else who could squeeze into the peewee Senate galleries was there.
 The Chamber was choked with anticipation of drama as the hear ing got under way shortly after 8 o'clock, with Senator o. D. Cochran, Judiciary Committee Chairman, presiding. Also present, besides his committee colleagues, Senators Grenold Collins, Allen Shattuck and John Butrovich Jr., were sev- eral other members of the two houses.
 The hearing opened with Chair man Cochran affirming the Sem ate's right to pass upon the quail ifications of it's own membership. Tn answer to contrary opinion re- ceived from Alaska's Attorney Gen. eral, Ralph J. Rivers, came views from former Third Division District Court Judge Simon Hellenthal and from lacol attorney Norman c. Ban field.
 HeIlenthaIs Viewpoint
 The Hellenthal interpretation was that every legislative body is qualified to, and it is its duty to, pass upon the qualifications of its own members. Banfield went a bit further. He drew upon constitution al law authorities contending that legislative bodies always have that power in the absence of express provisions of law to the contrary.
 Qualification of it's own member ship is one judicial power reserved to legislative body, Banfield con- tinued. The courts have no power to remove a member from legis- lative body, above the level of a municipal council, once he has talk en his seat. Only the legislative body itself has that power.
 The groundwork laid, Senator Cochran opened the real action by noting the absence of Senator Mo Cutcheon, whereupon Anchorage attorney Stanley McCutcheon, House Member brother of the chal- lenged Senator, rose to inform the chair that he and legislative cohort Warren A. Taylor, Fairbanks att torney, were appearing for the absent defendant.
 R0gge Opposes
 Called forward by the Chair, challenger Leo w. Rogge, Fourth Division Senator, was sworn as 8

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19- CIO Longshoreman officials and Pacific Coast waterfront employers met today to clear the decks of a retroactive pay issue which had been holding up 1946 contract nego- tiationS.
