 The assistant naval attache, It. Robert Dreher of Oil City, Pa, was caught with the goods in his hand," Pravda said yesterday. Both Dreher and the Russian of ficial involved confessed, the newspaper said.
 The United States embassy was told that Dreher had been caught in espionage" Pravda said. add ing:
 "The evidence was so indisput- able that the Embassy did not even try to conceal it and, with out protest, fulfilled the demand of the ministry of foreign affairs that Dreher immediately leave the Soviet Union"
 U. s. Ambassador Walter Be- dell Smith and the U. s. naval at tache, Rear Adm. Leslie C. Ste vens, refused to comment on the accusation.
 Qn Washington, however, the state department charged that the Russian authorities framed the es- pionage charge against Dreher. The department said the evidence was planted by the Russians after Dreher had applied for a Soviet visa to leave the country.O

Maritime Battle Now Before Judge

SAN FRANCISCO, (P) - An other round in the long Pacific Coast maritime labor dispute comes before federal judge George B. Harris today with each side accusing the other of con- tempt of court.
 The CIO marine cooks and stewards oh arge the Pacific American Steamship association with failure to bargain in good faith as directed under Judge Harris 80-day injunction expir- ing Sept. 2. The injunction staved off threatened strike.
 The association contends the union has violated the injunction by delaying three Alaska-bound ship sailings.
 The union is one of five bound by the injunction. The others are the CIO longshoremen, CIO ma rine engineers, independent ma rine firemen and AFL radio of ficers local.
 Meanwhile, the national labor relations board regional office here prepared to poll members of the unions on management offers. Ballots will go out late this week or early next week.
 The principal issue in the dis pute is control of the hiring hall. Employers insist on an impartial hiring hall dispatcher; unions de- mand that they be allowed to con- tinue selecting the dispatcher.
