Swiss Sentence Spy
To 70 Years, Naming
u. s., Other Nation!
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

BERN, Switzerland, Feb. 25.-A
Swiss military court today con-
victed Willy Gerber, Al, a Swiss
Army mechanic, of being a paid
spy for six nations, including the
United States, and sentenced him
to 20 years Imprisonment.
Gerber told the court he had
supplied information about Ger
man and Italian war activities to
the United States from 1912 to
1945 but asserted he received no
pay for the work.
Maj. M. Real, the prosecutor,
commented in reply:
1T seems highly improbable
that Gerber took no money from
the Americans. That would con-
tradict not only his pronounced
greed and avarice, but also the
business mentality of the Ameri-
cans"
Pleaded Guilty.
Gerber had pleaded guilty to a
long list of charges, including
treason and systematic military,
economic and political espionage
in Switzerland for Britain, France
and the United States since 1887,
as well as stealing top secret plans
and documents from the Swiss
army. He also was accused of spy
ing against Germany and Italy
for the Allies during the war. In
addition, the prosecution said, he
supplied information to Sweden,
Turkey and Yugoslavia as side
line.
His 3-day trial was conducted
for the most part in secret. During
a brief public session last night,
Maj. Real. demanded the maxi
mum penalty-life imprisonment.
During the war" he declared.
"two men were sentenced to death
and executed because they be-
trayed some munition depots and
mine positions. Compared with
these men, Gerber betrayed hun
dred times more"
Switzerland has no death PEN
atty in peacetime.
Money Confiscated.
The sentence included confisca-
tion of $7,150 from $4,000 bank
account Gerber had in New York.
The account was taken over by
the Swiss when Gerber was ar
rested last July. Maj. Real said
the money represented the amount
Gerber was known to have taken
from British and French diplo-
mats in Switzerland for espionage
activities, but added his actual
earnings were much higher.

The budget, which must be pre-

obvious time for a showdown. The

and a new approach to the eco

The role of the eight Liberal

important on some issues. Though
they failed to gain enough seats
to make them an important factor
in a coalition, even if the Labor
ties should invite them, they
might tip the scales in a par

But this is an American as well
as a British problem, and they

The last meeting Of the West
ern Big Three foreign ministers
was held in Paris in November
on German policy. Before that
Mr.. Bevin and Mr.. Acheson met
in Washington on Britain's con-
tinuing financial crisis.
Both German and British eco
nomic problems remain to be
solved. b
Problems to Be Considered
Here are British American prob
lens on which intensive work may
now be revived-not necessarily
those which would come before
an Acheson-Bevin meeting:
/. Britain's gap between dol
lars earned and dollars spent.
This gap probably will go on
after the Marshall Aid Plan ends
in 1852.
2. The problem of Britain's
war debts-of1icially referred to
as the sterling balances" This
is directly related to the dollar
gap issue and is tied into the
economies of the Near East and
Southeast Asia.
3. Also related to Britain's
financial ability is the issue of its
defense commitments. There has
been considerable speculation
that in order to cut costs Britain
might have to reduce it's military
investments in the old empire
areas Of Asia, and the United
States might have to consider
taking these over.
4. The unification of, Western
Europe is a project which has
caused heated ehind-the-scenes
debate between Washington and
London over the role that Britain
should play. The State Depart
Iment wants Britain to take part
as a full fledged member of the
Western European community,
like France. for example. The
British have always insisted that
they should stand apart from the
continent and play a kind of
linking role between Western
Europe, the British common
wealth group and the United
States.
S. German issues rest in part
on the European integration
scheme. Internally, British So
Icialism and American free enter
prisers have always been at odds
over German industrial organiza-
ton.
6. In the field of atomic energy
the United States and Britain
have reached a period of COM
plete stalernate. This began in
the early prediction period. It
was suddenly frozen, however, by
the Fuchs spy case. Atomic talks
