Minister Clement r. Atlee told
Commons today he did mot con-
slider it advisable at the present
time" to visit Moscow to discuss Sc
curity questions with Premier Stall
in.
Independent Vernon Bartlett
asked in Commons whether Attlee
would go to Moscow for Frank talks
with Stain, seeking chow and to
what extent Soviet preoccupations
with security can be reconciled with
Britain's."
II am ready to adopt any means
likely to improve relations between
Ike great powers" Attlee said,
However, since the U.N.O. Security
Council now is holding a meeting
in New York, do not consider it
would be advisable for me to make
a proposal of such far reaching i'm
pOrtance to Marshal Stain at the
present time"
Hector Mcneil, Undersecretary of
Foreign Affairs, told the House that
small Parliamentary delegation

Sheen Stirs
Capitol Hill
Claim Red Agent
On U. S. PoyroII

Washington, March Is - CUP -
Congressional leaders were frankly
bewildered today by charges that a
"full-fledged Soviet agent" had
been discovered on the payroll OF
a Congressional committee.
The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Fulton ].
Sheen, a member of Catholic Uni
versity faculty, made the charge
yesterday in speech in New York.
He identified neither the employee
nor the committee, but said he be-
lieved the man gave Chicago as his
permanent address.
House and Senate members said
they were puzzled as to whom
Sheen was referring. They hoped
that either Sheen would amplify
his charges or that the committee
involved would come forward and
make a full disclosure of the facts.
Sheen said the man had been
picked up" in a closed session OF
the committee last week. Asked
whether the employe was now in
custody, he, answered, L think he
should be, don't you He's an en-
envy of his country"
Representative Karl E. Mundt.
(R.-S.D), a member of the House
Un-American Activities Committee,
said Sheen's charge should serve
as a reminder to government Off
cials both in the executive and leg
islative branches that, In times like
these. they must be ever vigilant."

Sugar Dearth
Relief Coming

Boston, March 25.-UP)-
A substantial Improvement In
the nations sugar supply sit
uatiOn was anticipated today by
United Business Service.
U.B.S. said the volume Of Gu
ban imports now is expanding
sharply and supplies from
Puerto Rica will increase now
that Congress has approved a
Commodity Credit Corporation
subsidy on Puerto Rican sugar.
The 1916 Cuban sugar crop
now is estimated at 5000. 900
tons, about 100000 tons more
than was expected January
U.B.S. said. Cane refiners'
shipments in January were the
largest since last August. Raw
sugar imports, too, are showing
a strong upward trend, the
service reported.
THE period Of tightest sup
ply conditions In the United
States appears . thing Of the
past" the service said.

Remaining
Big Strike
Battling

New York, March % - CUP -
Government labor officials feared
today that the nations largest re-
manning strike, the 69-day -old
walkout Of $4,000 Westinghouse
Electrical Workers, might run on
for as long as a year.
william Davis and Arthur s.
Meyer, labor conciliators who
worked for two months as Secre-
tary of Labor Lewis Schwellenbach'
special representatives Ill an at
tempt to settle the strike, met to-
day to draw up final report on
the strike before they permanently
withdraw from the dispute.
They warned that unless the
company or the United Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers
(CI.O) gave way from their pres
ent positions the strike was likely
tc continue to the end OF the year.
Westinghouse made a wage offer
Il claims will add 1871 cents to the
average hourly earnings of en-
ployes. The union. on the other
hand, claims the offer represents
only an increase of 81 cents an
hour. and stands firm on a demand
for an i8is cent-an-hour increase.

Miners Appear
Bound to Strike
BY UNITED PRESS

Government conciliators hoped
today that labor peace would return
to the nations heavy industries
within 80 days.
They added, however, that this
week might be one Of the most
critical since the steel walkout.
Strikes against Westinghouse Elec-
trio and International Harvester
remained to be settled, and the
United Mine Workers, (A.F.L), were
threatening a walkout in the btu
minous coal fields.
Federal mediators reported that
new attempts might be made this
week to settle the 70-day-old West
inghouse walkout and the strike
which has tied up 10 plants Of the
International Harvester Company
for 6S days.
In the General Motors strike, adj
ditional settlements were reached
at local plants and company
sources hoped that the $4,000
striking members Of the C.I.O.
United Automobile Workers would
return to their jobs within a few
days.
