Report Of Seizure
OF Soviet Agent Here
Arouses Speculation

Charges by the Right Rev.
Fulton J. Sheen in New York that
a full -fledged Soviet agent was
picked up" in congressional COM
mittee last week today aroused
widespread speculation on Capitol
Hill. The Catholic University pro-
fessor did not identify the man he
had in mind except to say that
he was not an elected official and
that he believed he came from
Chicago.
Neither members of Congress nor
the FBI could definitely identify
the Soviet agent" to whom Msgr.
Sheen had reference in his speech,
which was made before the Catholic
Institute of the Press. An FBI
spokesman said mo such arrest has
been made"
Harold R. Buckles, an employe of
the House Rules Committee, headed
by Chairman SABBATH, confirmed re-
ports that he had been called sew
eral weeks ago for questioning be-
fore a secret session of House Mill
tary Affairs Subcommittee, but
scoffed at the idea that Msgr. Sheen
could have been referring to him
unless the prelate had been i'm
posd on.
Mr.. Buckles said the subcommittee
did not ask him a single question
which he could not answer readily
The questioning could as we'll have
been carried on over the telephone
he observed.
Commenting on published reports
that he had asked Representative
Delacy. Democrat, of Washington
to insert in the Congressional Rec
ord sections of book by Henry
Hoke. Its Secret" which is re-
ported to be critical of the House
Military Affairs Committee, Mr.
Buckles denied this fatty. He said
that he knew Mr.. Hoke but that
the book is his and he had nc
personal interest in it.
Walter Doxey. sergeant at arms
of the Senat, who ordinarily would
be notified of any arrests made at
the Capitol, said that if such an
incident had occurred he was not
aware Of it.
Msgr Sheen's precise statement
as quoted by the Associated Press
from New York, was: within the
past week in one of the congress
sional committees meetings a full
fledged Soviet agent was picked up
Msgr. Sheen went on to say that
he believed there should be more
reporting" Of the undermining of
Government by alien and foreign
interests"

Dr.. Butler Says Russia
Should GET Iranian0 OIL.
Access 10 DardaneIIes
BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 25.-Dr. Mich
olas Murray Butler. internationally
known advocate of world peace. said
Yesterday that Russia should be
given a share of Trans oil, as well
as access to the Baltic and the
Dardanelles.
The 83-year-old DR.. Butler, pres
ident-emeritus of Columbia Uni
versity and president since 1925 of
the Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace, declared:
Iran is wholly a question of oil.
Large commitments have been pro-
posed and made to Great Britain.
A way ought to be found for Russia
to have a share of the oil without
carrying on a political and military
disturbance.
Right to Economic DEVELOPMENT.
Russia should be given the right
by treaty to port on the Baltic
and also to the Dardanelles," he
added. Il do not have in mind any
territorial aggrandiZement, but
rather the right of economic de-
velopment."
DR.. Butler, who was awarded half
OF the Nobel Peace Prize in 1881,
expressed his views at his home be-
side the campus of the university
which he was most instrumental in
building during A years as presi-
dent.
The familiar outlines of that
campus and the thousands of young
faces which frequent it cannot be
seen by him now because he is
blind. But his voice and handclasp
are firm and his mind still ranges
the whole world.
Language Is Real Difference.
His blindness, attributed to over
work, became known when he de-
clined an invitation to introduce
Winston Churchill at the recent
public dinner given him here.
THE most real difference between
us and the Russians is one of Ian
guage," DR.. Butler said. I'VE must
remember that Russia was never
under the influence of Roman law,
philosophy and language, which
have dominated the western world
for 1000 years"
He compared the present status of
UNO to that of the United States as
the 13 States formed their Constitu-
ton.
The parallel in general terms is
very accurate and very complete"
DR.. Butler said, covering the whole
world now instead of just 13 States
He said that eventually the big
power UNO veto will have to be
gotten rid Of"

ployers. But they can shut down
and live while the workers would
starve"
On the subject of foreign loans
the witness said, Il am not opposed
to helping foreign nations. But
until production warrants it I am
opposed to lending them money or
assisting them except for direct
needs to make purchases when we
know they cannot be made here or
elsewhere. At this time that would
be to increase demand"
Mr.. Baruch made no direct ref
erence to any specific loan request,
but there had been some talk
among opponents of the projected
s3,750,000,000 credit to Britain of
calling him as a witness before
Senate hearings on the subject were
closed.

time for the American, British
Iranian and Russian delegations te
receive official information on the
reported Soviet agreement to pull
the Red Army out of Iran, and also
to get instructions from their gov
ernments as to how each should pro-
ceed on the case when it does come
up before the Council.
The members of the Council
represent the five permanent men,
bers, the United States, Britain
Russia, France and China, and the
six nonpermanent members, Aus
tralia, Poland, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt
and the Netherlands.
Feeling of Optimism.
A feeling of optimism regarding
the Iranian situation was found
among the Council members. How
ever, they are still awaiting definite
and official news of the reports of
the Russian withdrawal
The United States and Britain
have both let it be known they will
press for consideration of the Iran
ian case unless there is reason to
believe that a settlement is in
prospect
The Moscow radio reports that
Russian troops have already left
three of the Iranian provinces and
that all Russian troops will have
left Iran in five or six weeks were
eagerly scanned There is reason to
believe, it was said, that these re-
ports are correct.
Had the Security Council been
able to remain in continuous session
instead of being forced to suspend
while moving from London to New
York, it is entirely likely that Trans
dispute with Russia might have been
settled much more quickly, it was
pointed out. The issue undoubtedly
would have been raised again in
the Council on March 2. the date
specified for the withdrawal of Rus
sian troops from Iran under the
agreement.
Iran and Russia are obligated. 1t
was said, to make reports to the Sc
curity Council on the progress of
their negotiations and on any set
tlement that might be reached. Ger
tainly it is expected the United
States will insist on such reports
being made-even though an agree
ment may be announced. When
the council took cognizance of the
dispute and heard it discussed by
all parties concerned, the case ceased
to be merely an issue between the
two countries and became one in
which the United Nations was an
party.
Definite Settlement Essential.
1t is essential, it was added, that
It be definitely established that a
real and honorable settlement had
been reached, and the reports by
both nations should go far to es-
tablish these facts when the settle
ment is announced. The council is
not likely to be satisfied if it appears
that reported settlement is mere
ly maneuver to gain time.
The recent statement by Pre-
mier Stain that Russia intends to
back up the United Nations and
that war is not wanted by the ma
tions was also the cause of op-
timism here. It is felt he would
not have so placed himself on rec
ord before his own people, if he
had any idea of withdrawing from
the UNO or side-stepping the Sc
curity Council.
But there was speculation on
whether Russia would inject some
new element into the deliberations
Of the council, as a kind of coun-
ter-irritant-perhaps the Greecian
Or Indonesian situations-aS it did
in London.

Mr.. Bittner. who had been warned

reappeared briefly this forenoon
with an attorney, James r. Kirkland
of Washington.
Mr.. Bittner testified today that he
did not suggest any irregularity
and in no way sought to reflect upon
the reputation of Judge Moore" in
earlier testimony.
The shoe manufacturer had said
he was told by w. R. Gentry. trus-
tee for the Vardaman Co. during

covery of s2,804 from Commodore
Vardaman's bonding company would
be dismissed because Commodore
Vardaman was a good friend of
Judge Moore"
Mr.. Gentry by telegram denied
that he had made such a statement
about Judge George H. Moore, but

today, 1T is well known in st. Louis
that Mr.. Vardaman and Judge
Moore are good personal friends"

inal testimony and then cited the
perjury provision when Mr.. Bittner
insisted on his original testimony,

These observers acclaimed the Tass
announcement as healthy sign. The

that the Red Army also is withdraw

Both Chinese and Iranian circles
expressed satisfaction.
