Hflwevcr. Frank J. Taylor, president of the American Mer- chant Marine Institute and chief spokesman for 39 East and Gulf Coast operators. declined lmmedi. ate comment on the unions‘ offer.

The Union leaders made the statements at the offices of the United States conciliation service where they were conferring with assistant Labor Secretary John W. Gibso in a series of talks which G son hoped to climax with a Joint bargaining session.

Repacsentatives of a third Un- ion. the Maxine Engineers Bene- ficial Association. also were in- ‘vited to the parley,

Referring to the tanker settle- ment. Curran said "there is no reason why this should not serve as the basis for agreement be- tween the companies and the oth- er Unions. We are prepared to conclude on this basis today. to icturn the industry to normal."

Jack Lawrenson, an N. M. U. vice-president, said the tanker agreement would affect 22,500 men on 450 Atlantic and Gulf vessels. Union leaders recommended rati- flcation to the N. M. U. members involved, who probably will vote tomorrow.

Besides the pay boost. the agree- l nient provides for nine paid holi- J days at sea and e four-week paid vacation in place of the present three. Monthly wages for N. M.

Russian Refuses To Produce “Confession”

By Jack Quimn

BUDAPEST, June 18 --(APi_. Soviet LL-Gen. V.P. Sviridov today refused a face-to-lace request by Brig-Gen. George H. Weems of the United Statcsflrmy for a copy of the which led to last month's Ccm- munist coup d'ctat in Hungary.

Weems made the point-blank rc- quest at a meeting of the three power Allied Control Commission for Hungary. Svlrldov previously had rejected similar written pleas by the United States and Britain for copies of the "confession" which the Rusians said they ob- tained from Bela Kovacs. former secretary general of the Small- Holders Party.

Svlrldov told Woems and line British member of the Commission. May-Gen. O.P. Edgeoumbe. that Russia "had nothing whatever to do with the recent change in the Hungarian Government" and had "no influence at all" tn the fortn- atioli of the new pro-Communist regime.

As to the depositions taken from Kovacs. who has been a Russian prisoner‘ fou- several mom-ha. the Soviet General said they were ‘written in Hungarian. and I do not tmderstasud Humor-mu."

‘libs Russians MW claimed that the depositions implicated former Premier Ferane Nagy and former House Speaker Bela Varga in a plot to overthrow the Humans-n Rie- public. Hungarian newspapers said recently thetvrowouidbettiedln absemla as enemies d the state. Nagy now is in the United States. and Varga is reported in exile.

Earlier today, Imra Fold. Hun- garian manager of the Allied Of- ficer; Park Club, said he ihad been questioned at length by political police concerning certain relatives mid that he expected to be thrown into jail "within a short time."
