the action of the Senate Appropri-

He predicted these amendments
will be restored to eliminate this
threat. But until the action is
taken. the transfer, scheduled to

But the number of employed

LAS in June, most of the addi-

AssuiI 'Smokescreen'
By the Associotsd Press

GENEVA, Switzerland. Aug. 3.
Britain formally accused Rus
sia today of maintaining 10000
900 SLAVE laborers in "a new slav-
cry organized On a mass produc-
ton basis
Russia retorted in the United
Nations Economic and Social
Council here that the British
charge simply was a smokescreen
to cover up Britain's own labor
troubles.
The United States proposed ap-
pointment of a U. N. commission
of IL to inquire into "the nature
and extent of forced labor"
throughout the world. The Amer
ican resolution suggested enl-
phasis in such an inquiry Re
placed on Situations involving

The British charges were made
by Corley Smith, British delegate

as a copy of a corrective labor

rules for labor camps in the So
Wet Union. The r. S. F. S. r. is
Russia's largest republic, with
Moscow as its capital.
Insists System Is Humane.
Russia retorted that the codes
presented by Britain actually rep
resented humane system with
"re-education of the people" as
one of its aims. The Soviet dele
gate said the codes object was
to place persons sentenced to
penal servitude "in conditions
which make it impossible for
them to do anything hostile to

Atlantic Defense
This Year
u. S. Chiefs of Stuff
Meet ; Hours With
British Leaders
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 3.-A defense
organizatio ton under the Atlantic
treaty might be set up before the
end of the year" Admiral Louis E.
Denfeld, American chief of naval
operations. said today.
That brief statement from the
naval member of the American
Joint Chiefs of Staff was the first
direct indication of their progress
in meetings with the military lead
ers of the pact nations:
Admiral Denfeld spoke after he.
Army Gen. Omar N. Bradley and
Air Force Gen. Hoyt S. Vanden-
berg met for more than three
hours with the British chiefs of
staff.
Asked how soon a defense
mechanism for the Atlantic pact
could be established, Admiral
Denfeld replied. Il should think
it will not be too long. 1t might
be before the end of the year."
Responsible officials said the
American chiefs want Britain
and other pact partners to prom
Use prompt. large-scale military
unity in a common defense pro-
gram.
The American groups arrived
last night from Germany for two
days of conferences in London
before going to Paris late tomor-
row.
Admiral Denfeld told neWsmen
the British and Americans were
considering how the 12-natIon At
lantic alliance would absorb the
military staff already set up by
the five-nation Western European
Union. Britain. France. Belgium.
Holland and Luxembourg last year
established a joint military COM
mittee headed by Field Marshal
NlSCOuIlL MOllIBOIIlcIy.
Full Merger Sought.
Well-informed sources here said
the American chiefs of staff want
the five Western Union powers to
merge their forces and defense re-
sources into tightly knit Atlantic
pact framework.
Some reluctance against such a
full-scale merger has been unofh-
cially reported among the Western
Union partners.
The informants said American
military chiefs hope to get an
agreement on uniflcation to elley
any doubt in Congress that the
Atlantic treaty partners will pull
together in case of aggression.
Peril to Arms Aid Feared.
Admiral Denfeld, Gen. Bradley
and Gen. Vandenberg have care
fully and specifically said their
current tour does not include dis
cussion of President Truman's
81 ,450, 900, 900 arms aid program
because it is still being debated
by Congress. But other officials
here feel that failure to agree on
unification would jeopardize con-
gressional approval Of ornaments
aid.
Admiral Denfeld was asked by
reporters last night what effect
the Atlantic pact would have on
Field Marshal Viscount Montgom-
ery's five-power military set up.
