,WASl-IINGTON, Ocl;'.i- 3-(AP)- Russia .today demanded ' the im- mediate recall of A erican Am- bassador George F. pan.

The . demand -was jgade in a note termlng him "PG!-'tons. non Grate."-personally uns;csptablc- because of recent "slanderous at- tacks" which Moscow s Jiennan had made against the lviet Un- ion.

The sudden ,actlon raised the prospects of retaliation by the Un- ited states although state secre- tary Dean Acheson said there is "no presents intention" of expelling Soviet Ambassador George N. Zar- ubin. He said a break in relations is not being considered.

The Moscow move served as a

curtain-raiser to. Russia's widely- bailyhooed Communist Party con- gress opening Sunday. Rejecting the Soviet slander charge. Acheson said Kennan's comparison of life under the 50- viete and the Nazis-made in an interview at Berlin Sept.-.19 - will be recognized in most parts of the world as it truthful one.

In Control Of labor Party

MORECAMBE, England, Oct. . -(Reuters)-The 6,000,000-member Labor Party concluded its annual conference tonight with former Prime Minister Clement R. Atilee still in firm control of the party reins. .

Insiders believed leftist Aneurin Bevan's bid for party leadership may boomerang into a powerful trade union drive bent on crush- ing his challenge. Many delegates felt that if, for any reason, Alt- lee were to retire, his deputy Herbert Morrison would almost automatically succeed him despite Bevan's isolated triumphs this week.

Bevan'a greatest conference vic- tory-wresiing six of seven seats on the party executive alloted to local political party representa- tives--infuriated trade union lend- ers. These leaders, representing approximately 5,000,000 party members. are. determined to shackle the Bevanite forces in coming months.

On the other hand, the Bevan- ites will seek to extend their grip on local political parties and cam- paign privately for greater trade union support. A few unions. mostly Communist-led. such as the shopworkers. machinists and elec- tricians, have lined up behind JBevsn's policies for a reduced armaments progrsrp and greater independence from the United, states. , , ,

But' the -giant - transport. . gan- ernl workers' and miners unions-- hard core of the gr t industrial bloc-are still range solidly be- hind Attiee's moderate wing of the party. Their leaders are de- termined to battle Bevan but will do it behind scenes to prevent an open- party breach.

T The week of squabble: has left the socialists dazed but apparent- ly convinced no permanent dam- age to party unity has been done.

Bevan himself predicts private- ly that within a year. the party will be able to frame a policy on which all members wli1.be united.
