ican ships today were transport
ing more Chinese government
troops to Manchuria, where Chi
neSe Communists reported new
battles in progress and where
the presence of Russian forces
was causing increased Chinese
anxiety.
-Four hundred members of the
Manchurian Guild paraded in
Chungking. waving banners de-
manding that the Russians leave
Manchuria as agreed.
Official quarters stuck to their
policy of saying nothing on the
record which might in the slightest
degree offend the Russians, but
there were indications that this at
titude might be changing.
1t. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer,
commanding American forces in
the China theater, said at a news
conference that the Chinese gov
ernment had requested and Gen.
George C. Marshall, special Amer
ican envoy, had approved American
aid to move additional armies into
Division Now at Sea.
Gen. Wedemeyer said the bulk of
the new Chinese 9Th Army already
had been taken there by the United
States Navy and that one division
was now at sea aboard American
manned LISTS. He did not say how
many more would be transported,
but used the word armies" in de-
scribing the new movement. He
came here from Shanghai to confer
with Gen. Marshall.
The Communist spokesman here
asserted that new battles between
government forces and Communists
had been in progress since Febru-
airy 8; that the government troops
had seized the cities of Panshan
and Taian after serious fighting"
and were driving against five 9TH
ers, including the port of Yingkow.

Reported Involved
In Leak Of Secrets
Russians Are Declared
Building Large Spy
Service in Dominion
BY the Associated Press

OTTAWA, Feb. 16.-Several
fairly prominent government
employees were reported tonight
by high quarters to be involved
in the sensational disclosure of
secret and confidential infor-
nation" to a foreign mission in
Ottawa. Still not named Off
cially, this mission was said au-
thoritatively to be the Soviet
embassy.
The government sealed tight all
normal channels of information as
a two-man royal commission pushed
its investigation Of the first big case
Of espionags and diplomatic intrigue
in the Dominion's history.
The Canadian press quoted an
"unimpeachable authority" as say
ing evidence gathered by counter
espionage squads had shown that
the Russians were building q large
spy service in Canada.
This story, which could not be
confirmed by any official source,
said most of the persons under de-
tention entered the Russian service
quite innocently" at first, disclosing
only seemingly unimportant infor-
nation which was almost common
knowledge"
At the Russian Embassy, in the
absence of Ambassador George N.
zaroubin, who is in Moscow, Second
Secretary Vitah G. Pavlow said the
Embassy had no comment to make
on the case.
Suspected Of Serious Offenses.
A total of % persons were reliably
reported rounded up by the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police and the
Canadian FBI. Twelve are suspected
of serious offenses and 10 are held
as material witnesses.
All were held incommunicado
most of them repeatedly in the capi-
tails Justice Building which was
closed to all outsiders in an almost
unprecedented move.
Official information still was con-
fined to Prime Minister w. l.. Mac
Kenzie Kings announcement of last
night in which he said that there
had been disclosures of secret and
confidential information to unau-
thorized persons, including some
members of the staff of a foreign
mission in Ottawa"
Because of the serious nature of
the evidence already adduced," Mr..
Mackenzie King said, the royal COM
mission was appointed to push an
investigation with view to prose-
cution of those guilty.
Both the Departments OF Justice
and of External Affairs said today
that further officials information
might be delayed.
The present intention, 1t was said,
is to keep the investigation alto
gether secret until the special COM
