the German-born scientist convicted in Great
Britain in March, 1950, of having betrayed West
ern atomic secrets to Soviet Russia.
Fuchs was sentenced to 14 years imprison
ment. He receives some five years off for good
behavior. Upon release he will be allowed to leave
Britain, if he chooses to do so, even to go behind
the Iron Curtain. Or he may remain in the coun
try if he prefers: However, he was stripped of
British citizenship after his conviction.

Joint Congressional committee saved the Reds

mates are less conservative. .
British policy has been much criticized in the
United States on grounds of laxity in weeding out
subversives and leniency in prosecuting them.
Alan Nunn May, linked with Fuchs by tine joint
committee as one of the four "deadliest" atom
spies, was sentenced in 1946 to 10 years in prison,
released in 1952 after serving six years and eight
months.
By contrast, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, less
er figures in the U.S.-British-Canadian network
of Russian agents, were executed in 195$ after
conviction for wartime espionage. And Congress
in the Espionage and Sabotage.. Act of 1954 au
thorized capital punishment for peacetime spying.
It was traditional British leniency in this regard
that so long postponed U.S.-British exchange of
atomic energy information.
THE Klaus Fuchs story demands a kind of
Olympian pity rather than sympathy. A refu
gee from Nazi Germany, where his father was
a clergyman and a pacifist, Fuchs went to Edin
burgh University, where

invaded Poland in September, 1939, Fuchs was
tojd by British authorities to pack his bags and
await internment as a German enemy alien. In
1941 his case was reviewed and he was released
from custody in Canada. Naturalized in 1942, he
became top scientist at Britain's Harwell research
station and then was sent to the United States
to work in atomic installations. '
What made Fuchs a
nists? One analyst of espionage, Kurt Singer, cites
the traumatic experiences in Germany, Fuch's
relations with his father, his political persecution
and wartime internment. "Unstable,, persecuted,
Unhappy,, shaky, confused, and fluctuating, also
afraid for his own future,
needed a violent outward allegiance, understand
ing, and the love of a real country."
ALL this came from old friends, Communists
who had not forgotten him. Eventually $500
was thrust on him by a Red agent, but Fuchs was
not interested in money so much as in revenge on
Nazi Germany and repayment for British slights.
Now reports from Wakefield Prison, where
Fuchs is awaiting release,
Communist East Germany to live with that father,
83-year-old Prof. Emil Fuchs of Leipzig Univer

1 " These less-than - profound
observations have point at the
moment to the increasingly
dramatic contest between Sen
ators John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts and Hubert H.
Humphrey of -Minnesota for
the 1960 Democratic Presi
dential nomination. It is sud
denly becoming really inter
esting, even though the show
down is a long way ahead.
. '
FOR more than a year Ken
nedy had been clearly the
front-runner; indeed, the only
runner frankly in motion at
all. He had been racing where
no man pursued. Now, how
ever, Humphrey is pursuing
for all to see. Formerly,
there was one open aspirant,
Kennedy; a half-open aspir
ant, Humphrey; a one-quarter-open
aspirant, Senator Stuart
Symington of Missouri; and
a declared n o n participant,
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson
of Texas.
But now, suddenly, there
are two quite open aspirants,
Kennedy and Humphrey; one
three-quarters-o p n aspirant,
Symington; and one still de
clared nonaspirant, Johnson.
To change the metaphor,
this is fundamentally andilti
mately a battle of four Sena
tors. But at the present the ac
tion is largely confined to
two, Kennedy and Humphrey.
And the second, Humphrey, is
now challenging the hereto
fore unchallenged lead of the
first, Kennedy.
.
THE way Humphrey is oper
ating is an arresting illus
tration of a true political pro
fessionalism of which this
highly articulate Senator, ap-
nroce him or not for the top
job, is a most authentic prac
titioner. He is acting with the
cool forethought of a mili
tary commander, assisted by
two able nolitical pro staff of
ficers, James H. Rowe Jr.,
and Herbert Waters.
The unfolding scene is not
unlike one in which a divi
sional general prepares for a
climatic battle. This he will

cal actions intended to secure
his immediate position and
line of, supply before he
throws the full weight of his
division into the. big push.
The Humphrey camp, in a
word, has selected the Middle
West as his indispensable base
for future operations and
is aggressively consolidating
that terrain. He must have and
hold this base if he is to be
able even to start his big of
fensive of next year. Thus,
fairly heavy and entirely un
masked firing (by way of
Humphrey forays into the area
to. gather up convention dele
gates) is already rising from
the Humphrey batteries in the
Middle West. It centers upon
a salient formed of Minnesota
and Wisconsin. ' - '
'..".
THE immediate purpose is to
seize and secure this ter
rain from .the invading probes
of the Kennedy forces. There
is no intention to attempt soon
to drive eastward into Ken
nedyterritory. This will come
later, once the Middle West is
left to be reasonably firmly in
hand.
Armies committed to great
coming actions require first of
all a marshalling place upon
soil preferably friendly and at
worst benevolently neutral.
And, again to change the
metaphor, the soil of the Mid
dle West is important to
Humphrey in another sense as
well.
He has long since decided to
present himself as an all-out
New Dealer in the old Frank
lin D. Roosevelt model. This
will of necessity involve an in
creasingly liberal stance by
the candidate so liberal, in
deed, as to freighten many
Democrats who are not them
selves necessarily very con
servative. And, in our politics, an ad
vanced liberal from the Mid
west is somehow thought to be
not so unsettling as one from
the East. The grass roots there
are felt to be more nearly
homespun, as it were, than
those in the East. In sum, the
Middle West Is vital to Hum
phrey as a political base in a
practical way! it is vital also
in a purely sentimental way.

Bull Snake
To the Editor That surely
was some snake that Old
Timer Bert Kissenger wrote
about. Ordinarily, the maxi
mum length of the bullsnake
is hardly half of the 14-foot
length he mentions. But, as
gargantuan sizes do occur in
the human tribe, so may they
occur in other species. How
ever, the most astonishingly
interesting as weU as pleasing
part of the story is that no
mention was made of the kill
ing of the big reptile or. its
"bring 'em back alive" cap
ture. So it's to presume the big
snake was left unharmed to
pursue his gastronomic avoca
tion of keeping down - the
horde of digger squirrels that
was and still is in places in
the growing of grains which
they can render unusable un
less checked. The bullsnake
is one of. nature's .best in
keeping the rodent popula
tion in human livable limits.
It's been years since we've
seen one here-abouts, not one
of the furtively harmless
grasssnakes that are such a
help in keeping down the
ever growing horde of enemy
insects. We do have, thanks
be, a growing family of warty
hop-toads that are a big help
in the control of insect life.
Every evening soon after bed
time, my wife hears .one go
ing by her window, "plop,
plop, plop" on its way to the
garden for his nocturnal war
on insects. And it's "plop,
plop, plop" back again just
before getting up time to the
toad's cold moist retreat under
some plank weJeave there.
So please don't kill our
natural protectors of the bull
snake and grass snake tribe,
so completely harmless to we
of the human tribe and sup
posed to be humane. At least
w should be if no more than
for our own economic protec
tion. '

Pools and Children
To the Editor: In regards to
your editorial of 6-16-59, con
cerning the proposed ordi
nance requiring swimming
pools to be fenced, I quote
in part: '
"What about parental re
sponsibility for example? We
question whether small chil
dren like the girl in Eugene
should be allowed to toddle
about unwatched in the first
place."
I can only surmise that the
author of this article must be
totaly unfamiliar with chil
dren of this age,- (2V4 years).
Mothers do not let their
toddlers wonder around un
watched. They watch them as
constantly as humanly pos
sible. Mothers are constantly
listening and watching to pro
tect their small ones from any
thing harmful, eliminating as
many harmful and dangerous
obstacles in their environment
as she has the power to remove-However,
she has no pro
tection now if some thought
less person builds an un
fenced swimming pool next
to her, or down the block, a
pool by whose very use is
made a source of interest and
curiosity.
Here let me state, I certain
ly do not object to swimming
pools, only the ones without
fences or other satisfactory
means of protection.
Also, does the author real
ize (as mothers of toddlers
can aU tell you) that a child
of 15 months to 3 or 4 years
can escape from notice, wan
der next door or down the
Now he was writing his
thank-you notes to those who
had congratulated him upon
winning the Lenin Peace
Prize.
He credited "this high esti
mate of my activities" to "in
ternational recognition of the
services of the Soviet Union
in the struggle for the preser
vation of peace, for peaceful
co-existence and cooperation
of all states; and I fully credit
it to the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union."
" To the Western foreign
ministers struggling at Geneva
for agreement on the future
of Germany and European
security, aU this could be
nothing but one more added
frustration.
For it was Khrushchev
whose threats against free
West Berlin had forced the
foreign ministers' conference
into being in the first place
and it was Khrushchev
"brinkmanship" which would
keep them talking in the hope
that a barking dog does not
bite.
It also was Khrushchev

British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan to send his foreign
minister, Selwyn Lloyd, back

block into an unfenced and
then unprotected pool, and
drown , in less' time than it
takes to write this letter?
A moment's distraction of
mother's attention by the
phone, the door bell, or some
thing cooking on the stove
and the small inquisitive tod
dler darts off-to see the at
traction of the pool - then
maybe unattended. The mothr
er realizing the child is gone,
in that few seconds, goes in
frantic pursuit, only to arrive
too late.
Your article mentions the
hazards of Bear creek and
open irrigation ditches. We all
agree these are dangers and
we sincerely wish they were
protected. However, realizing
these dangers, many of us have
moved our small children
away from these areas, only
to have the greater danger,
(because of its attractiveness)
of the swimming pool put in
near us.
Surely those who are for
tunate enough to have a pri
vate pool would not be great
ly hurt by the expense of the
fencing and after giving the
mother some thought, would
appreciate the peace of mind
such protection would give
them.
I can not believe, here in
Medford, people who have
pools are so uncaring and
thoughtless that they can close
their eyes to the danger they
create. No one would like to
remember his pool as the one
which was a death trap to
someone's small child.
Can't we profit "by the trag
edy in Eugene and fence our
pools before it happens here
in Medford?

Eisenhower Says Americans

Counterpart Money
For Congressmen
Assured in House
By FRANK ELEAZER
United Press International
Washington - (UPD - For a
while there it looked like the
members might have to rise
above principle, and vote for
self-preservation. Rep. H. R.
Gross (R-Iowa) had warned
that their fall junket money
might be imperilled.
It's not every day that a
member of Congress gets to1
travel free all over the world.
Mostly it's only once a year,
between sessions, and
especially in years when he
doesn't have to run for elec
tion. Like this year.
So naturally when Gross
suggested the possibility of a
shortage of counterpart funds
he didn't have to seek help
from the speaker to get the
members' attention.
Counterpart money is for
eign currency put up for our
use by nations receiving U.S.
aid. One thing it can be used
for is travel by U.S. officials,
who turn out frequently to be
members of Congress.
Counterpart funds in the
past have proved superior to
U.S. dollars in several re
spects. The bag has always
been fuU. The stuff has been
there for the asking. And
nobody has been likely to
ask how it was spent.
Up For Vote.
But the annual foreign aid
bill was up for a vote, and
here was Gross suggesting 1
that one clause in the bill, as .
recommended by the Foreign
Affairs Committee, was about '
to louse up the deal.
Under this clause, it was
proposed to let the nations
who set up these counterpart
caches spend the money them
selves, building schools.
Gross wasn't the first to
point out this possible leak
in the conuterpart sock. Rep.
Alvin M. Bentley (R-Mich),
was already up, offering an
amendment to plug up the
hole. Bentley's idea was that
Congress hadn't voted money
for American schools, so why
should it build 'em for others?
Gross drove the point right
home.
"If you are going to be
building schools and colleges
in foreign countries," Gross
demanded, "what are you' go
ing to do about members of
Congress who will be taking
off in droves on junkets late
this summer and fall?"
Now, Gross is probably
Congress' leading non-junketer.
There are others who
never set foot aboard ship or
overseas plane. But Gross not
only doesn't take junkets
various parts of the Marx
Engels prescription for a class
less society adopting bits and
pieces of it. Of the 10 steps
toward Socialism or Commu
nism proposed by Marx and
Engels, however, one notably
has been accepted and made
grimly effective in even the
most capitalist nations, includ
ing the United States.
Marx and Engels' 10 steps
to Utopia were these:
-Abolish property rights in
land and apply all rents to
public purposes.
-Impose a heavy progres
sive or graduated income tax.
.-Abolish all rights of in
heritance. -Confiscate property of all
emigrants and rebels.
-Centralize credit in the
hands of the state by means
of a national bank with state
capital .and exclusive mo
nopoly. -Centralize the means of
communication and transport
in the hands of the state.

Plenty For Both
So if some members
thought they detected more
than mere anxious concern in
Gross' inquiry, they were
probably right. The other ele
ment no doubt was joy, at the
vision of harassed bagmen
from the various American
embassies, meeting incoming
planeloads of congressmen
