SOVIET ATTACK ON IRO
Accused Of
Dealing In Cheap Slave Labour
London, Mar. 31-Russia today accused the International Refugee Organisation (IRO) of dealing in cheap slave labour" for the benefits of certain Western countries.
In the course of a Four-Power discussion on an Austrian independence treaty, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Georgi N. Zarubin asserted that the IRO is not fulfilling its job of repatriating persons displaced by the war. It has been transformed, he said, into a body which is providing cheap slave labour for certain Western countries.

Jews Held In Arab Concentration Camps, Alleged
SUFFER "LIFE OF TERROR"
London, Mar. 31-Israeli spokesman to- day charged Arab countries with subjecting Jews to a "life of terror" and holding them in concentration camps. A spokesman of the Israeli representative here alleged that, while “ the Israeli Government had recently set up a special committee to help Arab refugees in Israel, Jews in Arab countries were "subjected to a life of terror" and deprived of funda- mental human rights.
Ho said that reparts of 805,000 Arab refu- gees from Palestine were "greatly exaggerated" and thought it unlikely that there were more than half a million.

London, Mar. 31.—There was widespread belief among Ameri- cans that the Truman Administration was obstructing Socialism in Britain and Western Europe, Mr Richard Crossman, Socialist Mem- her of Parliament, said on his return from the United States today. Mr Crossman added that he had told them there was no justi- fication for this belief.
Mr Crossman, Parliament's most controversial left winger, said in an exclusive interview with Reuters today: "People were constantly asking me whether Britain was successfully resisting Washington attempts to hold back socialisation. I had to reply that so far as I knew no such attempts had been made.”
