WASHINGTON, March 24 —
The Houm Un-American Actlvi
tlee Committee said today that
"thousand* of Russian agents"
and more thousands of Americans
are spying In the United States
right bow.
And In a time of national
crisis, the committee, said "the
United States would hare nearly
8SI.000 persons who are either
spies, traitors or saboteurs work
ing against us from within."
The statement were made in
a pamphlet titled "Spotlight on
Spies.'' Its publication was only
one of several developments of
the day bearing on U. 8. rela
tions with the Sorlet world and
the committee's own proceedings.
Others Included:
1-—The State Department made
public a report declaring that
"the Soviet government fears a
free interchange of ideas" with
the West because 30 years of
communism hare failed to give
the Soviet people a living stand
ard even approximating that of
Americans. The report was timed
for the opening of the three-day
"world peace" conference in New
York, which the state department
has predicted will be a sounding
board for Communist propagan
da.
2—The number of Soviet bloc

ference was cnt from 21 to 19
when visas were denied two
Romanians. The entry permits
were denied because the Roman
ian Government refused to send
the delegates as officials rather
than as private individuals.
3—Steve Nelson, western
Pennsylvania Communist organ
iser,was served at Pittsburgh
with a subpoena for his appear
ance at an Un-American Activi
ties Committee hearing here ten
tatively scheduled for April 18.
What the current drop of spies
wants most, the committee said,
are "production secrets of the
atom bomb.' It said it knows
some of the secrets have been
stolen, but not how much of the
