Silence

OTTAWA. Feb. 18 - (C?) Canada's great spy hunt moved apnea tonight behind a wall of official silence amid veiled hints the search was expandlnl he 80v- ernmept counter-espionage agents uncovered clues pointing to new

suspects.

,0! an» P9111114- lllreimclieif lty ed without official word of developments in the Royal Connnission inquiry into the alleged Russian spy ring but authoritative sources dd tell The Clfwdiali Press these signi- ficant things:

1. Government agents have be- gun to back-check on known "cells" in the former Commun- ist Party of Canada.

2, The investigation has shown a tendency to "snowball" as the questioning of suspects brought new information.

3. Ne detentions were made today anywhere in Canada but there "undoubtedly will be fut- ure deteritions"

4. Some women are being held. though the number is believed to be small It could not be learned whether they were cle- talned only for questioning or as potential accused.

5. An interim report definite- ly will be made by the Royal Commissioners, possibly later this week.

Beyond those scraipe oi infor- mation, reporters found them- selves against official secrecy which reflected not only continu- ing reticence but e reticence ex- reading that oi nrevious days. Even sources who once had spoken in vague, if veiled terms now spoke ll. flat negatives to nearly all questions.
