(BUP) Although no connection has yet been established between the Communist espionage ring oper ated In the United SUtes by Miss Elizabeth BenUey and that dis closed Iln Canada two years ago by Igor Gouzenko, there are a number of similarities in the way the two, operated. Miss BenUey appeared before Congressional committees last week to give details of the network she headed. Previously they had been published in a series of copyrighted articles by the New York. World-Telegram.

Several Spy Rings. Both the espionage rings ex posed in Canada and the United States were reported to be only one among several operating in their respective countries. A Candian Royal Commission Investigated the organization revealed, by the documents brought by Gouzenko from the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa where he worked as a cipher clerk. In Its report. the commission said that "several under-cover systems, or net works, existed in Canada under the direction of members of the Soviet Embassy but independent and distinct from (Military- At ache (Cot.

Miss BenUey told the Senate lnyesU gating committee that those who supplied her with Information "were a bunch of misguided idealists who thought they were doing right" and they were not paid for their services.

Miss Bentley said that some of the U.S. Government employes, who gave her in formation thought it was for Earl Browder, then head of the American Communist Party. I f. A similar sltuaUon existed in Canada. Miss Kathleen Willsher, former employe of the British High Commissioner in OtUwa, who.
