Russian source‘s greatly shocked
By DORIAN FALK GENEVA tAPl"The defec- tion to the United States of nu-
clear scientist Heinz Barwich—-
long a holder of key positions in the Soviet Union and East Germany—caused elation today among Western officials. Soviet sources expressed shock.
The 53~year-old East German is considered a major prize for
e West. which lost two top nu— clear experts—Kiaus Fuchs and Bruno Pontecorvo—to commu- nism.
Barwi h's defection was an. nounced Friday by officials in Washington. He made his get- away last Wednesday. while in Geneva for the 71-nation confer. enc on the peaceful uses of atomic energy.
The scientist slipped out of Geneva's Hotel President when the conference ended accompa- nied by another East German scientist, Prof. Max Steenbeck. whose whereabouts has not been reveal . ‘
Barwich's chief in East Ger many. Prof. Baron Manfred von Ardenne. said by telephone the defection was "extremely de- plorable" and “I am sure that
[family reasons played a very istrong role in this decision."
