They pointed out that Fuchs was known to have been work ing on hydrogen bomb theory at the time he was meeting Willi Russian agents. He was then the third lending atomic scientist in Britain and head of the theoreti cal research department at the Harwell atomic center. Results Said Given During his last major contact with Russian spies early last year he was believed to nave advised Soviet agents that the United States and Britain were convinc ed a hydrogen bomb could be made. At that time, scientists said, Fuchs undoubtedly gave the Rus sions the results of his own pre liminary work on the hydrogen bomb and its vast destructive potentialities. President Truman did not an nounce the- American decision to go ahead with production of a hydrogen bomb until early this year, although preliminary work had been going on for some time. With some of the secrecy re moved from the case as a result of Fuchs' trinl yesterday, inform ed quarters disclosed that Fuchs was trapped through a single word in a Russian agent's note book found in Canada last year. Name Found In Book The notebook contained Fuch's name followed by the Russian word "nash" means "ours." This set off a full-scale inves tigation which disclosed that the German-born British scientist had been revealing atomic sec rets to Russia since 1942. Fuchs was sentenced to 14 years in prison yesterday. With one third time off for good be havior his sentence will be re duced 'to nine years and four months.
