 The white paper had hinted vaguely at third man i'm the case. After Eden had spoken Lipton crried out a threat he had made few days ago to name the person he said wsIn ed Burgess and MacLean.
 The Laborite startled the house by addressing this remark to Eden:
 Have you made up your mind to cover up at all costs the dubious third man activit- ies of Mir. Harold Philby who was first secretary of the Wash ington embassy a little while ago?

LONDON (H) A Labor memt CT of Parliament today accused former member of the British embassay staff in Washington of tipping off spies Guy Bur- gess and Donald MacLean that they were under Investigation.
 Ut. Col. Marcus Lipton nam ed Harold Philby. former first secretary of the enlbassay in Washington, as being the third man. in the case.
 Burgess and MacLean, high ranking British foreign office officials, disappeared in May, 1851, and are presumed behind the Iron Curtain. A recent gov ernment white paper accused them of spying for the Krenin for many years.
 Shortly after Parliament re- convened from its two month summer recess, Lipton tangled with prime minister Eden on the Red spy case.
 Eden rejected a demand by the LaIborite for the appoint ment of a special parliamentary committee to investigate the case. The prime minister added
 ''The government themselves take the view that it is desir- able to have debate on this subject, in which I personally as prime minister, shall be glad to take part"
