Wednesday Morning June 24 1959 ' Klaus Fuchs has been described (by the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy) as the man who “accomplished greater damage than any spy in the history ol nations" Yet Fuchs having completed his prison term In Britain has now been allowed to move behind the Iron Curtain In the late 1940s and early 1950s the Western world was shocked to discover the extent of Soviet atomic espionage ' The United States convicted and executed Julius and Ethel Rosenberg In 1953 Their spying for Russia took place in war- time hence the death penalty Later Congress authorized capital punishment for peacetime espionage also BRITISH PUNISHMENT however was much less severe Alan Nunn May sentenced in 1946 to 10 years in prison was freed in 1952 with time off for good Judge Clark Retires v Rulon W Clark judge of the Second District Juvenile Court In Salt Lake City has resigned He will conclude 26 years service as a juvenile court judge July i In his letter of resignation directed to the Utah Public Welfare Commission which has responsibility for the operation of the juvenile courts Judge Clark made a number of suggestions relative to the Utah juvenile court system Most of these the judge has made previously but they bear repetition Salaries and status (particularly benefits) of juvenile judges should be equal to those of district court Judges The Salt Lake City juvenile court needs new quarters There should be Improved detention home facilities In Salt Lake County A new facility is needed in Utah for children between the ages of 15 and 18 This would be a combined institution for youngsters who need some supervision and control but who ought not be sent to the State Industrial School school-worktraini- Judge Clark himself explained his resignation after so many years on the bench was due to inadequacy of the salary and status of a juvenile court judge He felt the private practice compelled to of law because of financial considerations The judge has also been instrumental In formulating detailed plans for a new combined Salt Lake County detention home and juvenile court facility And he has for years advocated (and for a time Initiated experimentally) a kind of workre-ent- er training facility for youngsters not in serious trouble but apt to become so if not and work oppogiven proper supervision ' """ rtunity' JUDGE CLARK’S suggestions deserve the closest consideration It is possible that in retirement Judge Clark may work even more effectively for Improvement of juvenile court operations and the handling of delinquent or neglected children in Utah The state is losing a conscientious public official in the retirement of Judge Rulon W Clark The Tribune wishes him every Success as he returns to the private practice' of law ' behavior Fuchs drew 14 years but was released in a little more than nine also benefitting by good behavior The Klaus Fuchs story is an amazing one A refugee from Hitler's Germany he received a DSc degree from Edinburgh University Then when World War II broke out in 1939 he was interned only to be released given British citizenship and put to work on atomic research both in Britain where he was top scientist at Hartwell research centef’ and In the United States It has never been clear just why he became a spy Some say it was because he resented British slights others that he wanted revenge on Nazi Germany where both he and his father were persecuted But whatever his reasons his espiona terrible blow to the forces of age was freedom He was on the inside during most of the development of the atomic bomb As William L Laurence science writer for the New York Times wrote: “There In our midst (at Los Alamos New Mexico) stood Klaus Fuchs There he was this spy right in the center of what we believed at the time to be the world’s greatest secret As he confessed five years later he betrayed to the Soviets the most intimate details he learned ' notonly about the but about the as not satisfactory they want more Editor Tribune: Prices must come down if our well” William S White Klaus Fuchs has gone to East Germany where his aged father still lives The British say that they could no longer detain him since after his conviction he was stripped of British citizenship It is also said that any once-secrknowledge he has Is far out of date in view of the vast developments which have taken place since he went behind the bars Senate ‘Rescued’ Die in Strauss Case WASHINGTON — The Democrats have won a costly victory in an unnecessary et war L Strauss to1 be
