Britain Lax on Counterespionoge
y. S Certain to Turn Down Any Request by Churchill
For Exchange of Data on Atomic-Enerqy Development
David Lowrence:.

When Prime Minister Church.
Ill comes here, there's one re-
quest on his program that will
not be granted-an exchange of
data on atomic energy develop
ment as it relates to weapons
Of war.
The reason that he will get a
cold shoulder on this is that
great Britain's government is
careless, If not incompetent,
when it comes to ferreting out
espionage within her borders
and especially inside her govern
ment offices.
When and If Mr.. Churchill
can effect change, there will
be a different attitude here.
The State Department probably
will be polite and tactful in what
1t says to the British Prime
Minister on the subject, but the
House Un-American Activities
Committee in its formal report
just released does not mince any
words. 1t points the finger of
blame to British carelessness in
connection with the case of
Klaus Fuchs, British citizen who
confessed that he stole American
atomic secrets for Russia. He is
now in Jail but he wouldn't be
there except for a tip from the
FBI In this country. The re-
port says in part:
During the period since the
first successful experiments with
nuclear fission, the Russians
have bent every effort toward
maintaining pace with atomic
development through espionage.
This report has illustrated that
for the Soviets one successful
espionage agent, has been worth
more than many Soviet scien-
lists. Whereas the scientists
might have labored indefinitely
without the proper information,
the Russian espionage appara-
tus has furnished practically
everything that would enable in
ferior scientists to assemble the
atom bomb. ...-...
"The case that we now con-
slider, even though it had its orr
gin prior to the conclusion OF
World War II, illustrates the
fact that Soviet espionage has
operated and surely shall con-
tinue to operate In the United
States unless adequate laws are
enacted. ..

Doris FIeeson::

President Truman is striving
to send a politically defensible
budget to the Congress. He is
determined that it shall not
overflow anticipated revenues to
anything like the degree that
was widely expected.
This is proving to be uphill
work but he is waxing stubborn
about it. That is why there
will be a delay in transmission
of the budget to Capitol Hill.
Whether the Truman budget
will be militarily defensible is
another question. The President
decided once to economic on
defense expenditures and gave
Louis johnson the job Of exc
cutting his economies as Secre-
tary Of Defense.
The Korean war came and
Louis johnson went.
The superior character and
abilities Of Secretary OF Defense
Lovett give grounds for conf
dence that he cannot be euchered
into any strictly campaign con-
cessions that would injure de-
fense. Fortunately, too. the
Secretaries of War, Navy and
Air Force are strong" admins
traitors.
Informed predictions are that
the military budget will be much
lower than last year, still lower
in 1858. 1t is said not to be cut
at this point as drastically as
some early reports, prompted by
leaks about the Presidents hard
attitudes, have said.
The key question is: Are the

Later, he attended top-level con-
ferences on atomic matters in
which the United States. Can

pated. Mai. Gen. Leslie r.
Groves. In charge of the Man
haitian engineering district, has
identified Fuchs as one of the
few scientists who had access to
the United States plans for fu-
ture atomic development. Fuchs
had also learned of the plan for
development of the hydrogen
bomb"
The foregoing is the first au-
thoritative account that ties to-
gether all the implications Of
the Fuchs episode.
Incidentally-and this relates
to the points that will confront
Mr.. Churchill-there is no men
ton OF the case of the two miss
ing diplomats, one Of whom was
secretary for the British at
one of the top-leyel interna-
tional conferences held in this
country as a consequence of the
early agreement to pool atomic
information. The agreement
now is somewhat of a dead
letter. -
The British government has
been strangely Indifferent to
the Importance of telling the
British people the facts about
the part the missing diplomats
played in the leakage to Russia
of atomic c-energy secrets.
Until these mysteries are
cleared up and there are signs
that the British nation will be
made security" conscious. it is
unlikely that an exchange Of
data on atomic matters with
other nations allied with us will
be forthcoming. Ever since the
discovery of the Canadian spy
ring, there has been caution
here, too, about furnishing in
formation on atomic matters

by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, British authorities
arrested DR.. Emil Julius Klaus
Fuchs, a naturalized Briton Of
German birth. Fuchs was
charged with having betrayed
atomic research secrets on at
least two occasions, specifically
in 1945. while in the United
States, and again in England in
1947.
''Dr. Fuchs position with re-
gard to nucleaf research in
England was comparable to
that of DR.. j. Robert Open
heimer in the United States.
When it first appeared that
scientists could produce the
atomic bomb. the three coun-
tries then foremost in atomic
research. Canada, England, and
the United States, reached an
agreement to pool the acquired
knowledge of atomic explosives.
1t was agreed that because of
facilities and security, future
experiments should be carried
on in the United States.
"Dr. Klaus Fuchs, as the lead
ing British atomic expert, was
one of the individuals selected
to represent Great Britain in
this research.
"One of the mysteries in the
selection of Fuchs was the fall
ure of British authorities to no
tify the United States of all
facts in their possession con-
cerning the background of DR..
Fuchs. 1t was learned that as
early as 1941 the British gov
ernment knew that the German
Gestapo had named Klaus Fuchs
as a German Communist. Even
though the British had no
way at that time of verifying
the accuracy of the Gestapo
charges, it is difficult to under
stand why there was no notif1-
cation of this at the time Fuchs
was permitted to enter this
country.
Fuchs, after his arrest,
stated that he had developed a
sympathy for Communism while
in college. Fuchs further con-
fessed that while in England he
had associated principally with
Marxians.
Notwithstanding these. de-
fects in his background. Fuchs

In 1891 Robertson decided to go

In letters Robertson told of being
received graciously at the Wash
lington home. He also painted
miniatures of the President and

These miniatures, preserved in
America. were the basis for the
conclusion of the Frick Art Refer

here was an athentic work OF
