Fuchs May Have
Given Russ Head
Start On H-Bomb
London, Mar. 2 (U.R) Russia
may have gained a head start
over the United States on hydro
gen bomb research through in
formation furnished by Dr.
Klaus ruchs, atomic scientists
said today.
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.
