He was questioned at the reopening of the House un-American Acti vities committee investigation in to wartime atomic espionage bv Russia. i Now a student and teaching as sistant at the University of Cal ifornia at Berkeley, Fox testif ied that for more than three years he worked in ! -. sity's radioaction laboratory which did part of the work on the atom bomb. Counsel Frank Tavenner told Fox it has been "reported" to the committee that he was a member of the communist party and of a communist cell at the radiation laboratory. On grounds he might Incrimi nate himself. Fox refused t o answer questions on whether he belonged to the party or the cell. Tavenner remarked that the hearings have become of "ex treme importance" in view of president Truman's announce 'rnent last Friday that Russia has set off an atomic explosion. The committee has said in an official report that communist leader Steve Nelson, serving as an espionage agent, got an im portant atomic formula in March, 1943, from a "scientist X" em ployed at the Berkeley labora tory. The committee never has named scientist X but may do so shortly. Fox said he worked In the ra diation laboratory from 1942 to 1945 and for another three mon ths In 1946. He said he knew "more or less" that the labora tory was working on nuclear fission Rep. Case (R SD) pressed him as to the nature of his instruc tions about security. Fox said he was told the work was secret, that he would be told only what he needed for his work, that he was not to pass Information to unauthorized per sons and to be careful in noi giving too much Information tp authorized people. "I've never known of any case of espionage in the laboratory," he said.
