Truman's Atom Polio,
Blasts Plans for New
Approach 10 Russia
By Cecil HoIIond

Proposals in Congress and out
for some new approach to Russia
on the question of international
atomic controls were dampened
today by President Truman's
stand against such a move.
Mr.. Truman told his news con-
ference yesterday that the United
States is standing on it's present
peace policies He added that
with little bit of cooperation
from Russia effective machinery
for world peace could be estab-
lished.
The President said there was
no reason for this country to
bulge from the so-called Baruch
plan for international control OF
atomic energy that was presented
to the United Nations and turned
down by Russia.
The plan, before the U. N. for
months, would set up international
inspection of atomic plants. 1t is
called the Baruch plan since Ber-
nard M. Baruch is one of its prin-
cipal architects.
Disregards Mcmahon Plan.
Mr.. Truman said he can see no
reason for setting up commission
to review the plan. This has been
suggested in some quarters by per-
sons alarmed by the implication
of the hydrogen bomb and the
threat of an atomic armament
race.
In his news conference, devoted
largely to discussion of foreign
policy, Mr.. Truman also made it
plain that he will disregard the
suggestion of Senator Mcmahon,
Democrat. of Connecticut, the
chairman of the Joint Congress
sional Atomic Energy Committee,
for a $50,000,000 five-year glohal
Marshall Plan as one means of
avoiding an atomic armament
race.
He also indicated rejection of
plea by Senator Tydings, Demo-
crat, of Maryland for world dis
armament conference. The Presi-
dent said disarmament is linked
to atomic controls. and if an agree
ment could be reached on this
matter disarmament probably
would follow swiftly.
The President emphasized that
the situation has been changed
by his order to go ahead with
work on the hydrogen bomb. He
added that there was no need
to get steamed up about it since
this country is working toward a
peaceful situation in the world.
"You think public discussion of
this problem does no good?"
asked Columnist Doris Fleeson.
The President, flushing, said
the questioner should not start
putting words in his mouth. Pub
lie discussion. he added, helps
every subject If it is done in
sane way.
Throughout the discussion the
President emphasized his support

FBI officials said he had access
to practically every important
secret pertaining to the atomic

AS he was ordered held for trial
without bail Fuchs showed no sign
of emotion. It was obvious that
both he and his attorney, j.
Thompson Halsall, were convinced
in advance that commitment for
trial was inevitable.
Mr.. Humphreys gave this ac-
count of Fuchs introduction to
atomic research in England:
I'm 1912 atomic research was
being intensified in more than
one country and certainly in
England.
THE very finest brains avail
able were needed to assist in re-
search and such brains as DR.
Fuchs possessed were very rare
indeed.
He was known and proved to
be one of the finest theoretical
physicists living and undoubtedly
has done considerable work for
British atomic research"
Portions of the Fuchs statement
were not read in open court.
Omitted was the beginning, which
described Fuchs early life in Ger
many.
Mr.. Humphreys said this por-
ton of the statement left no
doubt that Fuchs was thoroughly
and irrevocably convinced of the
correctness of MARKHAM Commu-
nism and that it had a world
mission.

Fuchs Confessed Red Spying, Court Told

Fuchs first came to the atten-
ton of security authorities when
he approached a security officer
at Harwell. His 75-year -old father
in Germany had been offered a
seat at Leipzig University in the
Russian zone.
The Fuchs statement said in
view of the delicacy of his work
he asked security officers at Har-
we'll whether he should resign
since his father was being trans
ferred to the Russian zone.
This disclosure gave authorities
in Germany an excuse to question
the father thoroughly.
When Fuchs later was ques-
toned about his own activities,
Mr.. Humphreys said he at first
denied any acts of improperly.
But" said Mr.. Humphreys, 1T
was obvious that he was moving
toward a mental crisis and in his
own words he suddenly decided to
answer any question.
Henry Arnold, a security officer
at the Harwell atomic research
establishment, testified when the
prosecutor concluded his state
ment.
1t was Mr.. Arnold whom Fuchs
had approached first about his IA
theirs transfer. Mr.. Arnold said
he introduced Fuchs to Mr.. Skar-
don.
Mr.. Skardon, on the witness
stand next, testified that Fuchs
regarded his oath of allegiance
"a serious matter, but he claimed
the freedom to act in accordance
with his conscience, should cir
cumstances arise in this country
comparable to those which existed
in Germany in 1882 and 1888,
when he would feel free to act on
the loyalty which he owed to hu-
manity generally"
Fuchs Sits Impassive.
Fuchs, dressed in a brown suit,
sat calmly in the prisoners dock
while Mr.. Humphreys outlined the
crowns case against him. His
eyes were impassive.
A representative of the Ameri-
can Embassy was in court to OBJ
serve the, proceedings. Lord Por-
tai, one of Britain's wartime air
leaders, came into the court a few
minutes before the hearing be-
gan.
Only a few of the curious we're
on hand outside the courtroom
when the hearing started. Usually
when a trial catches the public
fancy many .Londoners queue in
the streets all night to be sure of
getting a courtroom seat.
Fuchs case was page-one in the
British press only when he was
arrested last Friday. Since then
there has been little public COM
ment here.
Fuchs was, arrested last Friday
by Scotland Yard Inspector Leon
ard Burt. commander of a special
section.
Arrest Followed FBI Tip.
The arrest came after a tip from
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton, whose officials said they had
been on the long trail of atom
leaks to Russia since the atom spy
case in Canada shocked the West
ern world four years ago.
They said they first got lead
on Fuchs six months ago, trans
mitted it to Britain and had been
working jointly with Britain since
then on the case.
The Fuchs case has touched of
the biggest spy scare in Britain
since DR.. Alan Num- May, also a
British scientist, was imprisoned
for 10 years in 1916. He was con-
victed of having passed on atom
information to the Russians while
he worked on atomic research in
Canada in 1945.

During the war Fuchs visited the
Oak Ridge (Tenn.) atomic energy
plant and the laboratory at Los
Alamos, N. Mex, where the world S
flrst atom bomb was produced.
Statement Signed at HarwelI.
At the hearing before Magis-
trate Laurence Dunno, Security
Officer William James Skardon
testified Fuchs had signed a
statement when he was questioned
at the Harwell plant on his ar
rest last week.
The prosecution gave the court
a story of Fuchs as brilliant
youth in Germany who was an
underground Communist agent
since 1882 in Berlin.
The prosecutor said Fuchs was
a Communist and at the same
time one of the greatest living
atomic scientists. He successfully
fooled his associates into think
ing him a security minded per-
son." Wing Comdr. Henry Arnold,
a retired RAF officer, testified.
Mr.. Arnold was security officer at
Harwell.
He testified Fuchs told him just
before the arrest that he had
passed on information to the Rus
slams.
Did you say, as security officer
at the establishment, that it was
technical information about the
result of atomic research which
might be of the greatest value to
an enemy?" the prosecutor asked.
Definitely Mr.. Arnold replied.
Tells of Detailed Statement.
Michael w. Perrin, deputy con-
troller of atomic energy technical
policy for the Ministry of Supply,
which controls the research, testi-
fed Fuchs made a detailed state
lnent in his presence. He said
this concerned the nature of the
information passed on to Russia.
This information would be of
value to a potential enemy, he
said.
The witness said the giving of
information to Russia fell into
four periods: The first between
1912 and December, 1943; the
second between December, 1943,
and August, 1914, when Fuchs
was in New York as member of
the British Atomic Energy Dif-
fusion Commission; the third
from August, 1914, to the summer
of 1916, when Fuchs was in a po-
sition to watch American activi-
ties in New Mexico. and the final
period, from 1916 to 1949.
Mr.. Perrin said Fuchs made
brief contacts at intervals of one
or two months, to deliver the
documents involved. Toward the
end of his activities. when he
began, apparently, to have doubts
about Russia, he gave less and
less at longer intervals, the wit
ness said.
On the witness stand Mr.. Per-
rim quoted Fuchs as saying his
first contact with Russian
agent was made at Boston, Mass,
In February, 1945.
There was no elaboration of the
circumstances.
The statement that he started
making reports to the Russians
in Boston was volunteered, MIR.
Perrin added, as Fuchs was ques-
toned atthe War Office.
The periodic and systematic
contacts with Russian agents
started at a somewhat later date,
Fuchs statement said.
Interned for Years.
Fuchs was interned in England
In 1910 but was released in 1912
