Russian Attache
Got Instructions
Only From Moscow

Ottawa, March 4. -(AP) - The Canada Government in a 3,000-word statement today declared the Russian military attache here had been told by Moscow to obtain data on atomic bomb material, radar, American electronic shells and the movement of U. S. troops and that some data had been secured from Canadian and British citizens violating official secrets legislation.

Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King made public the report which in part was a response to a Moscow statement that information obtained in Canada was insignificant and that King was attempting to divert attention from British failures in the United Nations security council.

The Royal investigating commission told King that Miss Katherine Willisher, who was deputy registrar in the office of Malcolm MacDonald, United Kingdom high commissioner in Canada, "has access to practically all secret documents in that office and disclosed them." Three other civil servants were named.

"The evidence reveals that these operations were carried on by certain other members of the staff of the Soviet embassy at Ottawa under direct instructions from Moscow." the report said.

Russian agents were instructed in August, 1945, near the end of the war in the Pacific, to obtain "information as to the transfer of American troops from Europe to the United States and the Pacific." the two-man Royal investigating commission declared in a report.
