After Reading Confession
Of Atomic Spying by Fuchs
. By George E. Keedy Jr. ,
(Cuili il l'rr Sluli t'i rroixmilrnl )
Washington, March 11 Legislators who have studied the
complete Fui-hs confession said today that "only the most

"He knew everything and apparently he told everyone,"
one member of the joint congressional atomic energy com

Anderson, 5 Hastings, was struck
by a hit-and-run driver yesterday

Mrs. Anderson reported this

was not injured. She said that
she and her son were crossing
toward the post office in a safety
lane when the accident occurred.
The vehicle, which she said was
a pickup truck, had stopped to let
them by and then had driven on

Tulsa. Okla., March 11 ("'
Striking American Airlines main
tenance workers here voted to
day to return to werk, their local
union president reported.
E. R. Burns, president of the
CIO transport workers union lo
cal, said other locals throughout
the country also are voting today
whether to go back to work. The
vote here was "overwhelming"
in favor of ending the 11-day
strike which has reduced the air
line's operations, Burns said.
Burns announced the decision
after a meeting of the strikers
at the Casa Loma ballroom. He
said the entire membership of
some 1,600 employes attended.
"Victory is our," Burns said.
"We won our job security and we
want to go back to work now."

STUDENTS STRIKE
Cave Junction, Ore., March 11
ilPi About half of the 165 stu
dents of Illinois valley high school
walked out of classes yesterday
and paraded through the city
streets with placards reading,
We want our teachers back.
The student walkout stemmed
from a Josephine cou.nty school
board announcement that hrincl
pal Clarence Hagen and three of
his 10 teachers would not be re
hired for the next school year.
ot ihe confession made by
Dr. K. E. J. Kuchs, the German-born,
British-naturalized
scientist who was recently
convicted for passing atomic
secrets to Russia.
Only carefully selected portions
of the confession have been made
public.
One senator said the confession
demonstrated Fuchs' "amazing"
ability to retain in his mind com
plicated, physical data. He said
that 100 ordinary spies could not
have amassed such a tremendous
store of information.
, "1 would say that even today,
Fuchs could make a better edu
cated guess on the size of Ameri
ca's A-bomb stockpile than could
any member of the committee,
he said.
He Dointed out that Fuchs last
visited this country in 1947. Since
he had widespread contacts
among American scientists, he
said, it is "safe to assume" that
Fuchs was able to give the Rus
sians everything known up to
that point. .
Furthermore, he said, many of
the more recent atomic develop
ments were then in the "blue-
that Fuchs had some knowledge
of those blueprints. -
me most lamastie aspect oi
this confession to me is that the
British permitted this' man to do
secret atomic work," he said.
"After all, he left Germany be
cause he was a communist and
there seems to have been no secret
about that."
The confession complete ex
cept for some names and loca
tionswas given to tne commit
tee by the atomic energy commis
sion. It was studied carefully at
a lengthy, closed door session.
Sen. Bricn McMahon, D., Conn.,
chairman of the committee, flat
ly refused to discuss the confes
sion with reporters. He said he
was "shocked" when Fuchs was
first arrested and "I am shocked
now."
It was indicated that the con
fession will be a subject of study
hy committee members for some
time to come. Some of the legis
lators said they want to re-read
It several times In order to have
a perfectly clear picture.

Of Leniency
By Frederli k M. WiiiKhlp

New York, March 11 Ui Val
entin A. Gubitchev, convicted so- ,
viet spy, was reported today to
have chosen deportation on the
next boat to Russia rather than
serve a 15-year prison term in
the United States.
Informed sources said the 33
year.old engineer will sail aboard
the Gydnia-Ameriean liner Batory
on March 20 with his wife, Lydia.
This was the same ship on which
communist Gerhardt Eisler escap
ed from the U. S.
Gubitchev's choice of the easy
way out brought accusations
from senate minority leader Ken- '
neth S. Wherry, R., Neb., that
Secretary of state Dean Acheson
conspired to save Gubitchev from
jail in order to "appease" Russia.
Unfitness Charged
Wherry said Acheson's action
was "further evidence of his un
fitness to continue as secretary
of state."
Acheson called Soviet ambas- -
sador Alexander Panyushkin in
to his Washington office yester
day and told him personally about
the choice which a federal court
here offered Gubitchev. '-
The court told Gubitchev he
could escape a prison term by '
getting out of the country in two :

The stale department softened
Gubitchev's sentence in an effort
to preserve the safety of Ameri
can diplomats in Russia and its
satellites and also in the hope
that Hungary might see fit to re
lease Robert A. Vogeler, a New
York business man sentenced to
15 years imprisonment for alleg
ed spying.
