WORLD NEWS

The biggest piece of news to- clay is the statement by the FB1 that Miss Bentley was serving the FBl even before she was the re- Cipeint of the honor of the Order of the Red Star and $200000 be- slowed upon her by the Russian Government.
 The statements of the accused stand forlorn in the face of the fact the eN-Communist was doing the bidding of the FBI
 M
 Many of those accused claim they are good American citizens and true: they claim also that Miss Bentley is a liar and ment- ally affected.
