Deadliest In

Russian Research Aided

By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH

WASHINGTON. April 8 - (AP) .. An H-bomb scientist who is re- ported to have fled to Russia and three confessed spies have advan- ced the Soviet atomic-weapons pro- gram at least 18 months. the Sen- ate-House of Representatives atomic energy committee said tonight.

Of the four. a committee report rated British citizen Klaus Fur-hs as the deadliest spy in history. Tile German-born scientist is serving a 14-year jail term in England for pnuing atom secrets to the Reds.

The report assigned No. 2 posi- tion from s damage standpoint to Italian-born scientist Bruno Pontc- corvo who disappeared behind the Soviet iron curtain last fall. He was on vacation in Europe from his top- secret post at a British atomic re- search station.

"I-Ils more recent studies," the report said. "included work upon tritium. a substance intimately re- lated to the hydrogen bomb."

(Pontecorvo worked in Montreal and at Canada's Chalk River atomic plant from 1043 to lildil. Canadian officials have said he knew every- thing there was to know about the Dominion's atomic-energy develop- ment during the war but they had received no "adverse" reports about him.)

Greenglass confessed to trans- mitting atomic data to Russia whge he was an army sergeant assign if during the Second World War to the atomic-bomb project at Los Alamos. N. M. .

The report regarded the espion- age of Greenglass much more dam- aging than the spylngtof Julius Rosenberg and his wife. Ethel. The Rosenbergs last Thursday in New York were sentenced to death for ferreting out A-bomb secrets for Russia.

Greeilglass is Mrs. Rosenberg's brother.

The report said that all four had access at one time or another to atomic secrets in the United states. All but Greenglaes had access in Britain or Canada as well.

liepublicdllw Group Backs Generals Views

By Willard H. Mobley

WASHINGTON, April 8 -(AP) -Gen. Douglas MacArthur's lat- est. move into the arena of world politics -- basically a. call for recognition of Asia as the place in make the big fight to stop world Communism - has pushed Presi- dent Truman into one of the tightest corners of his White House tenure.

Truman is reported considering some disciplinary action against the General but is understood to have reached no decision.

The two main pressures Truman has to balance against each other are generated by:

1. A Republican-led drive for adoption of the United Nations East commander's ideas. in- cluding a second front in China manned by Chiang Kai- Shek's Nationalists. partly to take pressure off Korea where Americans are fighting.

O'I'l'A'WA. April 8 -- (CP) - The Commons is going to tackle Monday a problem close to the

hearts of the wage-earners of Canada - the shanply-rising cost of living.

Representatives of all parties, faced with the stunning 4.5-point jump in living costs announced last week. tried Thursday to launch the chamber on a debate on the subject.

They gave up the attempt when the govermnent promised the de- bate on Monday.

Further pressure on the gov- ernment to hold down living costs will come during the week from outside Parliament. in annual submissions to cabinet of Canada's major labor congresses.

The cost-of-l-lving debate. the second thus far in the session. will come on the eve of the Fed- eral budget, to be brought down Tuesday evening by Finance Minister Abbott.

Mr. Abbott. while the living- cosls problem was under discus- sion last week. said that he will

be discussing inflation in his budget address. Government measures to deal

with been such loans

the problem thus far have iconfined to fiscal steps. as restrictions on bank and on instalment buying.

By Richard Dalgnaull.

QUEBEC. April 8 --(C P) - A chef of french ancestry. trained in the cuisines of England. pro- duced Saturday on the tables of Bols de Couionge two meals that took a week to prepare.

Dismiss any picture of a portly black-muatached man with a big smile. because Raymond Perry is 29 years old. tall, blond and ser- ious.

Ferry has been chef at Bois de Coulonge. residence of the Qua- bec Lieutenant-Govemor. since he was 1!. probably something of a record for such an important post in his line of work. Spencerwood. as Bols de couionge wad formerly called. has seen kings and prime ministers.

Salt Ferry considered President Auriol of I-trance and Mme. Aur- iol and their suite of French of- ficials one of the bi!!!” 3351111- menta in his life. He started put- ting the men and women in his service through their paces at 6 a. m.. on the big day-

By midnight he had supervised the serving of more than loo plates of the finest luncheon and dinner he had served in years at Bola do Coulonga.

The luncheon. ith its fabulous array of hora d'oouvre served with Qaniah sherry. its giant roast chickens .and dry French wine, its

-it down. Ice cream with

Canadian dessert of maple ice cream. champagne and liqueurs,

was but a mild preview of the dinner.

This funciion opened with the serving of a grapefruit-half seven inches in diameter. ,, with honey. nestled in crushed ice.

Next came a "Creme Florentine." cream of asparagus decoraiedwith the letters "V A"-for Vincent Auriol-in Italian paste.

I-Iigh point of the dinner was. well almost. a state secret--"Les truites dc Quebec," Quebec's den licious Laurentian speckled trout. served with a French dry wine of 1947 vintage. The savory pink- fleshed little fish were piolted out of'a Provincial Government hatchery according to precise specifications as to sise-medium -and length-eight inches.

Roast of beef cut in the sirloin was the main course with full- bodied Chateau-Margeaux to wash "Sauce sayabon"-a gourlnet's delight of which Ferry declinu to reveal the magic fonnuia-provided the des- sert. Thisgwas served with white biscuits decorated with it red "R" and It blue "1" for Pnepublique Francoise."

What's the tecret of preparing and delivering ailch amounts of food without a hitch. the young chef was asked.

"The essential thing is to keep calm; "he answered. "You have to Meet you are serving important people."

,Spearheihls 0 ”0f U. N. Drive Forced Back

By DON HUT!

TOKYO. April 9 .- (Monday) - (AP) .. Communist troops hurled LWO stiff counter-attacks Sunday at Allied units advancing north of Korea's 38th parallel along narrow rldgelines to the rim of the Hwa- chon reservoir.

The resistance on that central front sector, 'north of CIlUIlCI'i0ll. forced United Nations spearheads to withdraw temporarily.

AP correspondent Tom Bradshaw said artillery was called into action to help repulse the Red counter- thrusts.

To the west. Allied reconnaissance patrols verified that Communist rc- slstance also was building up north of the Hantan River. field dis- patches said. However, the main body of U.N. troops still had not made contact with the Reds in that area.

Only light. scattered resistance was reported on the eastern end of the Allied line.

Canadians Advance

The Princess Patricla's Canadian Light Infantry advanced with other Allied units against light resistance on the central front.

A Britisll commando unit raided northeast Korea's port of Sonhjin for seven hours Saturday and blew up rail tracks before withdrawing without loss. The 250 marines were covered by American carrier planes and naval guns.

The fla.reup of heavy fighting in the centre coincided with is. warning from Lt.-Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, U. S. Eighth Army commander. that there is no end of the Korean war in sight un- less a political settlement is reached. elsewhere - and he knows of no negotiations for such a settlement.

He told correspondents at an ad- vance Eighth Army headquarters on the central front that if the Am- erican people expect a definite end of the war. ”they should be dis- cbused of the idea."

He said that. by keeping the in- iiiative. the Eighth Army had chew- ed up the Communist "offensive potential" but the Reds still were well grouped for offensive action" through three major corridors into South Korea.

Ridgway named these corridors: The Chorwon-Seoul axis in the west. the Kumhwa-Seoul axis in the west centre and the Chunchnn- Wonju route in the centre.

TOKYO. April 8 --(AP) u The Japanese Maritime Safety Board said Saturday 124 vessels and 43:1 crew members seized at sea during the last three years still are held by other countries. Seizures have been made by Russia. Communist and Nationalist China and South Korea.

(Associated Press Science Editorl WASHINGTON. April 3 - (APi -A-Nature -stat-ioned a giant traffic cop off the Newfoundland banks of the Atlantic last. winter.

He caused amazing weather by literally waving giant cold waves away from their usual course up the St. Lawrence River, and de- tourlng them 1.000 miles.

The cop was a mass of high pres-

This mass and another near the Rockies accounted for many wea- ther freaks all over the United states. There are always similar air masses. but not in last winter's pos- ltions.

Probably the biggest freak was the streak of frigid air that split the country in two from north to south. It extended from Northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. eastward along the Gulf to Florida. with spills over into other southern states. It caused the snow in the south. It turned on and off several

lines like a giant hose.

The streak was merely cold air from Canada. detoured south by the Newfoundland cop. It had to run l.0oo miles south to get around this Newfoundland cop. It had to run 1,000 miles south to get around this traffic barrier.

A second air cop stood west of the Mississippi and disposed his bulk more or less parallel with the Rockies. This gave the far west and coast abnormally-warm wea- ther for most of December. Janu- ary and February.
