Fuchs Guilty in Atomic Spy Trial; Given 14 Years in Jail

Dr. Klaus Fnchs pleaded guilty yesterday to betraying the United States and Great Britain by selling vital information to Soviet Russia, at a 90 minute London court trial.

The prisoner was ruled sane by the court and sentenced immediately to a prison term of 14 years. He was called into the Old Bailey Criminal Court and almost within a matter of minutes pleaded guilty to the four counts which had been lodged against him in February.

The 38-year-old scientist, top theoretical physicist employed at the Harwell atomic research laboratory outside of London, pleaded guilty to seven years of atomic spying for Russia.
