Britain to Bar
Holds Fuchs’ Alleged Betrayal of Secrets Up to Own Courts LONDON, Feb. 6 (UP)—
Informed quarters said today - that Britain was likely to re-
ject any American request for extradition of Dr. Klaus Fuchs; top British atomic scientist accused of revealing Anglo-American atomic secrets to, a potential enemy. They said the case of the 38-year-old Dr. “Fuchs, head of! theoretical research at the Har-| well Atomic Center in Britain, in-| volved an alleged breakdown of} British security and was hardly a matter for American courts. A Washington report quoted Sen. Brien McMahon (D. Conn.)| as saying his U. 8. Congressional | Atomic Energy Committee was
- studying means of extraditing Dr.| #
Fuchs since he was accused of
disclosing secrets while in the
United States in 1945. Dr. Fuchs is liable to a maxi-| mum penalty of 14 years in prison] under British law if found guilty | of giving away atomic secrets,
"while in the United States the
maximum penalty is death. Extradition Difficult
Authoritative quarters here said apart from the fact Dr.! Fuchs’ case was considered a’ British affair, his extradition would be difficult if not impossible under the Anglo-American extradition treaty. They said the tredty provides -that extradition cannot take. place if a person already has heen! tried, punished or discharged or! is still under trial where Abel “charge has been filed. The German-born’ Fuchs nl come up for a hearing in Bow| Street court on Friday. He is
