and operation of similar training
programs by the States and the
District.
One-Week Courses.
For that reason the NSRB asked
that individuals chosen have ex-
perience in nuclear physics or
electrical or chemical engineer
ing, plus considerable teaching
ability"

Protests have been made
against the lack of street parking
space after 6 pm. and against
charges made at off-street places.
District officials already are
studying the space problem, and
some recently warned that, unless

more off-street facilities, the city
might have to step in and build
some.

Britain S Press Calls
For Security Shakeup
In Wake Of Fuchs Case
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Mar. 2.-The strange
spy career of DR.. Klaus Fuchs,
sentenced to IA yeaTs in prison for
giving atomic secrets to Russia,
led today to British press demands
for major shakeup and investi-
cation of this country's security
organization.
There was little doubt in un-
official circles that the Fuchs
trial yesterday would rock this
country's counter-espionage setup
. and probably would touch off an
intensive recheck of every indi-
vidual connected with Britain's
atomic research.
The London Daily Herald said
British intelligence services are
to be overhauled Immediately"
The Daily Herald. organ of the
ruling Labor Party, predicted
there would be sweeping changes
in the security measures at gov
ernment research establishments. !"
security OmclalS silent.
No officials connected with Sc
curity, however. would comment
on the case at all.
The big question was: How did
the brillian German born scientist
"a professed Communist since
1932-manage to dupe Britain S
security officials for seven years?
An editorial in the Daily Tele-
graph explained it by saying Sc
curity measures were too slow to |
change when the wartime CO.
operation between Russia and the
West turned into the cold war
of today.
The impression was general
here that British agents and the
United States Federal Bureau of
Investigation had already set out
one of history's greatest dragnets
for the men to whom Fuchs
handed important information on
the atom bomb and possibly event
on the projected hydrogen bomb.
= The issue likely to bring about |
the most searching inquiries
perhaps even in Parliament-was
the fact that Fuchs attorney said
he came from Germany in 1892
as known Communist and |
never pretended to be anything
else" He even managed to es-
cape the purge of Communists and
fellow travellers from government
departments handling state Sc
crets, which was launched by the
Attlee government almost two
years ago.
Termed Security Minded"
Security police at the British |
atomic energy research establish
ment at Harwell. where Fuchs was
one of the top physicists, had
labeled him as most security
minded"
They placed so much trust in
the safety of giving Fuchs access
to top secret information that |
American officials accepted their
word and didn't bother to check
his background when he came to
America during the war to work
with the makers of the atom
: bomb.
He managed to hand secrets to
Russian agents in New York and
Boston, under the noses of the
FB1 and wartime military security
authorities.
During the period in which he
carried on his DR.. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde
existence of trustworthiness and |
betrayal. he survived at least eight
special security checks without
