Klaus Fuchs May Be Deported When Released London - (CPU - The Daily Express said Saturday atomic spy Klaus Fuchs almost cer tainly will be deported as an ' undesirable alien when he is released from prison in seven months. The newspaper said the gov ernment's' interest in detaining Fuchs for political reasons has lessened considerably since Britain started exchanging at omic secrets with the United States two years ago. The government is willing "to write off the dubious val ue to the Communists of any still-secret atom bomb infor mation which Fuchs remem bers," the newspaper reported. Convicted in 1950 Fuchs, 48, was convicted in 1950 of turning over top se cret atomic information to Russia during the height of the cold war. He was senten ced to 14 years in prison but became eligible for parole after seven years because of his good behavior. Fuchs, a native of Germany, was stripped of his British citizenship after his convic tion. The German-born scientist was sent to Canada during World War II by the British government but returned aft er the danger of a German in vasion had passed. He studied at Glasgow University and later worked at the Hatwell Atomic Research Station. In an interview printed Friday by the Daily Express, Fuchs said he would like to return to the Red-held Ger man city of Leipzig, where his father, a professor, is living. Original Announcement Britain had originally an nounced it would find a iob for Fuchs when he was re leased. The Daily Express said this plan has changed. "The government will not risk the public outcry which might ensue if it found work for a German citizen who has be trayed Britain," the paper said. "Security advisers believe that any criticism from the United States will be less se vere if Fuchs is deported as a matter of firm policy than if he is allowed to make his own way to East Germany,' the paper said.
