REPORTS TO COMMONS Cause For Anxiety In Gas Industry

Nine Days' Coal

In Hand

London, Feb. 13.

The Prime Minister, Mr. Clement Attlee, told the House of Commons today that Britain's supply of fuel for power had improved slightly, but warned that there was cause for anxiety now in the gas industry.

The Prime Minister, making an up-to-the-minute report on the fuel crisis that had stopped all but the most essential of the nation's indus- tries, said 78,000 tons of coal were saved be- tween Monday and Wednesday, as a result the drastic current cuts.

CLARK VERSUS GUSEV:

SECOND

ROUND

London, Feb. 13.

General Mark Clark (United States) today again challenged the Soviet deputy, M. Gusev, on the principles of freedom of the press and demo- cracy as the Foreign Ministers' deputies re- sumed discussions on the Austrian treaty. Gen. Clark insisted that some views which Austria might express in future might be unobjection- able to the United States but objectionable elsewhere, adding, "My remarks of Tuesday. about freedom of expression and democracy are still applicable."
