March 1 — (AP) — Dr. Klaus Fuchs. Jekyll-Hyde wiz- srd of science. whispered “gullty" today and _wss given the maximum sentence of 14 years in prison for betraying atomic secrets to So- viet Russia. His trial lasted only 90 minutes. Before he left the prisoner's dock in historic Old Bailey crim- inal court. the 38-year-old Ger- man-bom Communist admitted having railed on -_Russ'tan agents he_ dealt with in Britain and the United States — thus presumably touching off a great international spy hunt. (Reuters said that for British and United States security ser- vices the public hearing was only an interlude in an all-out drive to break up the Communist spy ring uncovered by tile Fuchs episode. . (Both in Britain and in the U. S.. secret service investigators are on the hidden trail of the agents who were the go-betweens for Fuchs and the Kremlin, the News Agency added.) Upbrslded by Judge .At the hearing. Fuchs was up- braided by the Lord Chief Jus- tice. Lord Goddard. for commit- ting the “grossest treschery"- and doing "irreparable and lncalcul- able harm both to this land and the United States of America." The Judge told the prisoner he had fallen to the “depths of self- deception." endangered British and American friendship and “im- perilled the right of asylum which this country has hitherto extend- ed to political refugees." Fuchs said meekly he had given the authorities certain facts “to stone" for his crimes. His lawyer. Derek Curtis-Ben- nett. also hinted at a spy hunt, saying the defendant had given the authorities "valuable practical suistance." Sir Hartley Shawcro.u.

Keech began studying the question of imposing a huge fine on the union for the country-wide coal strike in the United States. All in one swift-moving day. the government completed its case. the miners used only one witness in their defence. and final arguments were heard. Now it's up to Judge Keech. who heard the case without I Jury. He could not say when he's likely to reach a verdict. Even while the trial was wind- ing up, there was another start on negotiations to end the giant contract strike gnawing away at the country’s economy. The talks got nowhere. however, and were broken off until tomorrow. The number of idle men how is near 000.000. Production fell ofl three per cent in February. the Federal Reserve Board said, partly due to the coal strike.
