S. Staff Correspondent) Montreal Igor Gouzenkor the young Russian whose first sip of capitalism gave him a pronounced distaste for Communism, Is scheduled today to elaborate on his amazing testimony that a member of the Canadian parliament has been working actively for the Soviet. Gouzenko, former cipher clerk In the Russian embassy in Ottawa, has named Fred Rose, Communist member of parliament, as one of the recruiting agents of a Soviet-sponsored group which sought and obtained Canadians for Russian espionage over a three-year period. Gouzenko is the principal witness against Rose In a preliminary hearing in which the M. P.

is charged with conspiracy to give secret information to the Soviet. Gou-fcenko's story, first told to Canadian officials last September, is the basis for the espionage investigation now going on which already has resulted in the arrest of 14 Canadians, most Gouzenko charged Friday that the Russian leaders were "two-faced In their relations with the Allies; that they appeared to be friendly but actually were not. He also asserted that, on the basis of messages he saw, he was convinced that the Soviet leaders were "preparing a graph for some future event, which would look like war." Co-defendant in the preliminary hearing with Rose Is Dr. Raymond Boyer, McGill University chemist and one of the scientists who help- ed develop the secret war explosive known as RDX. It is charged by the government that Boyer told Russian agents about the explosive.
