A NATo spokesman said the

The report estimated that the

In reviewing the rockets and

"The principal Soviet missile
bases, about 100 in number, are
situated along the Baltic coast

REPORTER
Fuchs Takes the Role of God

A letter-a very simple let
ter-started the final chain
Of events. 1t was written by
Prof. Rudolph Peierls Of Bir-
mingham University to DR..
Klaus Fuchs. The time was
the Spring Of 1941. World
War II was 18 months old.
The professor asked the
young man if he would be in
terested in a special job pay
ing 275 pounds a year.
+. Fuchs said yes. The job
was secret. Very secret. Brit
ish security services studied
his record. They were look
ing for possible Nazis; not
possible Communists. So,
when they saw the report
from the German Consul that
KLAUS Fuchs was a Red, they
okayed him.
HE BEGAN WORK on the
atom bomb. Never let it be
said that his contribution
was small. Once Klaus Fuchs
immersed himself in the
work, the long stride of his
mind carried him far beyond
the thinking of most SCENT
lists. They were still making
an atom bomb when he was
laying out the ground rules
Tor a hydrogen bomb.
: No Russian came to Fuchs.
He went to them. In June,
1871, he contacted Simon
Kremer, secretary to the
Soviet Military Attache in
London. when I learned
about the purpose of the
work." he said years later,
81 decided to inform Russia
:" The little man began to
play God.
FucheS. who could not be
trusted, did not trust Kremer.
The spy committed the sac
rilege of calling at the EN-
basSy to ask if Kremer was
bringing the Fuchs reports
on atom bombs to the Rus
slams. He was told yes" and
to please go away.
Great Britain and Canada
and the United States spent
billions deciphering the Sc
icretS of the atom. DR.. Fuchs
gave them away free. The
u. S. S. r. had them without
cost, without travail, with
out spending the years be-
tween 1871 to 1945 trying to
find them.
DR.. Fuchs came to Amer
lca. He was not investigated
mere because the British in
dorsed him. He visited our
installations and passed our
secrets on to the Russians

sells pull and distort sensitive
nerve endings and produce
pain.
Generally, treatment is d.
rected toward raising the pain
threshold, calming the pa
tents nerves and trying to
get the dilated blood vessels
back to normal size.
I won't go into specific
treatment of headaches. Only
your own doctor can evaluate
proper medication. A head
ache is a distinctly personal
ailment. But I hope you UNI
derstand that the diagnosis is
not a hit or miss affair.
Your doctor will have to
take a complete history be-
fore he can hope to make a
diagnosis. He may find that
you not only have a migraine
headache but enough associ-
ated tension to make it a
combined migraine-tension
headache.
You can understand how
treating only the migraine
component Of the headache
will not bring you relief.

PATIENTS OFTEN get
peeved when their doctor
refuses to give them advice
over the telephone. When
Tommy has a bellyache,
mother wants to know if it
is all right for her to give
him a laxative. When Tom
senior has been complain
ing of indigestion that goes
up into his chest" his wife
may want to know If some

right.
1 have always refused to
give advice over the phone
when such, or similar, con-
ditions presented themselves.
Many's the case of acute APP

bosis that went on to fatal
termination because patient

of accepting a telephone

horse around with my hus-

Tell your husband you love

isn't to come over unless

through a Philadelphia bio
chemist, Harry Gold. Fuchs
gave and gave. He did not
know the trigger for the
atom bomb. The United
States knew how to set it off.
No one else did.
At Los Alamos, a young
sergeant named David Green
glass found out the parts of
the trigger. He gave them
to his sister Ethel and her
husband, Julius Rosenberg.
The Russians had the final
drawings before the United
States set off the first bomb
at Los Alamos in July, 1945.
A LIGHT BROKE over
Hiroshima and Nagasaki and
100000 Japanese died. The
war ended with a 10-mile
question mark in the sky.
When peace came, there we're
some misgivings about how
much could be told to the
world about the atom bomb.
The British. the Canadians,
and the Americans called a
conference to decide. In the
English group was DR.. Klaus
Fuchs. He would be among
those to decide how much
should remain secret. The
record shows that DR.. Fuchs
was more secretive than his
confreres. He was opposed
to revealing anything of con-
sequence about the bomb.
Later, when it no longer
mattered, a Russian in Can
ada detected to the West. He
was Igor Gouzenko, cipher
clerk. He talked. He named
spies. The thin thread led
from name to name. At last
it led to Harry Gold. And
from Gold to a tall British
scientist who blinked behind
glasses. And on to Ethel and
Julius Rosenberg and David
Greenglass.
The dedicated Communist
will die for the cause. Mr..
and Mrs. Rosenberg were
dedicated. Brother David
was not. He sold his country
first, then his sister. Gold,
too, co-operated. He went to
jail. Klaus Fuchs confessed.
The greatest penalty he could
be given, under English law,
was IA years. A few weeks
ago. He was freed and de-
ported. His heart is in Leip-
zig, where he first studied
physics. His mystical, cloven
feet still walk those old cob
bled streets.
He is the greatest traitor
of all the ages. Because of
him. two billion people live
in the threat of sudden death.

1t Is embarrassing to her to
go out with a guy who isn't
UP to her level in school. She
wants me to become q grind.
She says that If I don't do
better next year, she's going
to give me up. I think this
Is ridiculous.
Millie Ut may sound
ridiculous to Cliff but it's
important to me. Any girl
will know what I mean. A
girl likes to go out with a
man she can look up to. It's
like wanting someone taller
than you are.
I wouldn't bother Cliff
about this if I weren't posi-
tive he could do it. He's got
a brain. but just won't bother
with the subjects he's not
interested in. He doesn't
even work hard at the ones
he likes. School is just a lark
to him. He's more interested
in sports and music. I'll help
Cliff he'll let me.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
All teen-agers should have
problems like this! We think
Cliff may have something to
gain by trying to meet his
girls standards, but in all
fairness we do not think she
is quite justified in her de-
mands.
Mile may be a smart girl,
but she still has a lot Of
things to learn and one Of
them is that it is foolish to
set rigid standards for others.
1t is fine to set them for our
selves. because we know or
should know what we want
out Of life and what sacrifices
we are willing to make to get
them, but we can't decide this
for others.
Maybe Cliff could get better
marks in school, but only he
can decide whether it would
be worth while to take what
ever additional time may be
required from the sports and
music he enjoys. 1t is very
likely that the time he now
invests in these things will
bring him even greater re-
wards in later life-in addi-
ton to the pleasure 1t now
affords.
When a person does some
thing purely to crafty an
other it rarely works out well.
Cliff may later resent the
sacrifices he has made. Mile
may get into the habit of
feeling that he and others
should satisfy any within of
hers. 1t would make for a
very bad relationship.
Aside from this, we think
Mile is too rigid in her ideas
OF the way things should be.
People have varied abilities
and Cliffs lower school marks
are no indication Of inferi-
ority.

Miqroine Is the Whopper'

My guess is that about 30
per cent of headaches are
not sufficiently bothersome to
goad the patient on to a visit
to his doctors Office. You get
a headache; you take an
aSpirin-and presto, it's gone
and forgotten.
But how about the other 20
per cent? They certainly can
