D0llilie iii? Revealed In London Court

LONDON. Fieib. 10 —(CP) —Men who worked with Klaus Midis on atomic research thought him a trusted and brilliant colleague. But, by his own admission, the Rus- sian spy organization knew him as it source of vitally-secret informat- on.

The story of his double life was disclosed today when the German- born scientist. a naturalized British citizen. was charged in policg court with two violations of the Oiffic- lal Secrets Act. lie was committed for trial in a higher court.

Crown Prosecutor Christmas l-lumphreys told the Court that Fuchs was "one of the finest theoretical scientists 1iving" while at the same time "a political fan- atic on the payroll of a foreign power."

Quoting from a. statement made hy the 38-year-old scientist after his arrest. he said Fuchs’ decision to pass on information to the Rus- sians was made shortly aflter his release in 1942 frcm a. Canadian internment camp where he was sent. on the outbreak oif war.

After freeing liim. British llutih- orities put hvrn to work on atomic research tn Birmingham, England. He latter worked in ths United States from 194.3 to 1948.

Informed Russia

“when I learned about: the pur- pose of the work I decided to tn- fonm Russia. and established con- tact through another mcuniber of the Communist Pairty." said the statement by Fuchs. who fled to England from Germany in 1933 to escape Nazi persecution. He had belonged to the Communist Party since 1932. ~

Til-lo leaks to R/ilssla

indicated in his statement. he be- gan to have doubts about his abil- ity to conitinuehis "Jekyll and Hyde" existence.

Fluchs entered no plea. during the 2 I-Z-ihour hearing.

He will be tried at Old Bailey sessions beginning Feb. 28. Con- vlotion could carry sentences totalling 14 years.

The official charges are that he gave away aitcvm secrets of value to a potential enemy on two oc- casions-once in the U-nited States in 1945 and oncC in Engllltnd in 1947.

Humiphreys and prosecution wit- nesses related that Fuchs admitted having contacts with Russian agents in New York. Boston. Los Alarnos and London since early in 1942. Fuchs was a member of the British team of atom experts who worked in the United States from 1943 through i940.

The prosecution indicated the secrets concerned are so vital the full text-s of Fuchs‘ story never will be made public. _

Fuchs was quoted as saying he gave information to the Soviet Embassy here and in 1940 received “a. symbolic payment" of £100 ($400 at the time).

Fuchs was born near I-‘rsnvkfurt in 1911. the son of a theoimdlwi pro fcssor and Quaker, Prof. Emil Fhlohs. l-le took the oath of alleg- iance when he was naturalized as a British citizen in 1942. and slan- ed security pledges twice. in 1942 and in 1944.

Growing Demand For Ban On Canadian Spuds

(By George Kitchen)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10—(CP)— Congressional sources reported to- night, a growing demand for a ban against imports of Canadian potatoes.

Senator Owen Brewster, Repub- llcnn from potato-producing Mains said ha and several other Con- gressmen are pressing the. United States Government to invoke a temporary prohibition agslns‘ the Canadian spuds.

Congressional lenders met 'with President Truman today to dlscul! the general price-support picture. Those attending the meeting said. that there was no sillllefllvfl "l" imports of Canadian 90mm" i"

Congrenmen have charged that

this undermine: the U. S. 9""- luppon program, but their criti-

cism is directed more at the U. S. Government and its policies than at Canada.

Senator Brewster said the ban ha and his colleagues are seeking would be similar to one invoked in 1948 when Canada herself lim- ltcd potato exports temporarily st the request of the U. S. Govern- 1110f",

One wholesaler told reporters to- day he hail brought in 20 car- loads of Canadian potatoes in the last two weeks. Each car holds 50.000 pounds, about 850 bushels. Another said some of the import- ed stock hsvs been sold to res- taurants frequented by Congress- men, who already have protested the shipments on tho ground they undermine the prlcc-stIPNrt pro- gram.

In its cffortii to guarantee a good financial return to ths potato grower, the Government purchas- ed the 50,000,000 bushels st prices ranging from $1.55 to $2.15 a 100- pound sack. But tho Government has not. been able to dispose of the bulging surplus oven at the give-away price of ona cent a 100 pnundl. This price was offered with the stipulation that the buyer pay the freight charges from Government point of storage.

Find Tired Pigs Hurt Canadian Bacon Quality

By MEL SUFRIN

OTTAWA. Feb. l0 ~ (GP) -- Whcn a biochemist chases a pig around a packing plant you can bet he's not doing it for fun.

In the case of Dr. Dyson Rose of the National Research Council, it; was in the interests of solving the mystery of why some of Canada's bacon for Britain turns brown be- fore reaching the butcher shop.

The discoloration, it ‘has been found. depends on whether the pig was tired or rested before being butchered.

Dr. N.E. Gibbons of N.R.C.'s food biology section reported today that experiments indicate the rea- son for tho change from an at- tractive red to an unappetizlng rust color in some of Canada's ex- port bacon is that the hog was fatigued before being slaughtered.

The solution to this problem. may prove of long-term im- portance to Canada's hog rats- ers because the color change has for a long time been a rea- son why Canadian bacon sells for less in England than Dan- ish bacon.

Dr. Gibbons, a bacteriologist. em- phasized in an interview that. the discoloration does not occur in bacon for Canadian consumption because the domestic product is always smoked. Smoking stabilizes the color.

However. most of the 60,000,000 pounds of bacon being sent: to the United Kingdom this year will be unsmoked. Dr. Gibbons, directing research on the problem. hopes tn apply the knowledge gained from experiments to a test shipment next summer.

Canadian work on the mysteries of bacon have followed that of an English bacterlologist. Dr. FLA. Callow of the low temperature re- search station at Cambridge.

Salt Another Problem

While NZRC. hasn't yet tasted

the fatigue effects on flavor. Dr. Callow claims that a rested pig will produce Juicier bacon with more flavor. The fact: that; it: is julcicr makes it easier for the meat to absorb salt. in the curing prn- cess. - This might pave the way for Canada to overcome another U. K. complaint. that Canadian bacon is too salty.

Long trips to the abbattoir without food are chiefly respon- sible for tiring pigs,

Dr. Gibbons’ solution to tho ‘fat- igue difficulty would be to fesd the pigs at the abbatolr and then give them six to eight hours to digest the food before being butch- cred.

This would insure siuficient sugar at the time of butchering to produce the necessary color- keeping acid.

Rescue Piariy Faced Tough Operation

(By Graham Trotter)

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Feb. 10- (CP)—-Nine service men who sur- vtved the crash-landing of a Da- kota search plane on a Yukon mountain peak reached safety here tonight aboard another plane.

A 10th man was left at a rcscuc camp near the mountain's base when darkness forced a helicopter to suspend operations after evac- uating the others.

The group reaching here includ- cd five Americans and four Cana- dians. The remaining man is a member of the Princess Patriciifs Canadian Light Infantry. Among the American were the pilot, co- pllot and radio operator of the search plane.

Waiting ambulances of the Un- ited States and the Royal Cana- dian Air Forces immediately took all to hospitals.

The men were snatched from the wilderness by a U, S. A. F; helicopter which landed in a val-l Icy at the foot of lhc mountain and took them 15 miles to Pon Lakc, From there, a Dakota plane brought them 45 miles to Whitehorse. .

The men were aboard [Dakota search plane included in the big armada of Canadian and U. S. planes which for two weeks have been sweeping the Yukon for a missing C-54. The transport van- ished Jan. 26 with 44 aboard.

The searchers were spotted on a trecless mountain SlOpg Wed- nesday, and ground rescuers struck out through the wastes to bring them to safety. Five para-rescue men who parachuted to the peak in n spectacular pin-point jump yesterday helped the searchers down the mountainside today.

There they were met hy an army “\vcascl" sncivmoblle and composite lccscue party of Cana- dian and U._S, army men who fought through snow and rock for two days to reach them.

Morale High

The crew of the rescue plane said morale of the survivors was "terrific". They said the injured Americans "had nothing but praise" for the Canadian troops who gave them first aid. kept fires burning and shielded them from the cold on the three hitter. nights on the mountain top. i

Snowshoes and sleds were drop- ped to the mcn yesterday to assist in their descent from their re- fuge, 7,000 feet up the mountain far above the ttmber- line.

The search plane which camc down on the mountain was one cf a huge armada of planes which for more than two weeks has been sweeping the area for traces of a missing C-54. The big transport had 44 persons aboard a flight from Anchorage. Alaska, to Great Falls, Mont, when it disappeared.

Tho storm which blanketed northwestern Canada from Grand Prairie, Alin., to Alaska, today brought the search to a standstill. Throo C-54's were sent out from

Reports Far East Would Boost Trade With Canada

—- i By WARCY UDONNELL OTTAWA. Feb. l0 -— (CF: Countries in the Far East, whcrc the spread of Soviet imperialism is feared. arc anxious to increase trade with Canada. External Af- fairs Minister Pearson said today. Reporting to a press conference on his recent tour of the Far East, Mr. Pearson said that besides at- tending the conference of Com- monwealth External Affairs Min- isters in Colombo, Ceylon, the Canadian delegation had discuss- ed general trade qnd economic matters.

The delegation, including ccon- omic experts of the External Af- fairs Department. were impressed by the long-range possibilities of

increased trade with the Far East.

"We were also impressed by the short-range difficulties in the

way of increased trade," said Mr. Pearson. who made these other points:

1. Delegates to the Colomlbo con- fcrencs felt there was s real dsn- gcr of Soviet imperialist: over- running the For East.

2. He will make i: sta/temen-t to Commo on his trip sometime after te opening of the session next Thursday Feb. l6.
