KLAUS FUCHS
TASS STATEMENT ON CHARGES LONDON, March 8. Tass, the Soviet news agency, has denied that Klaus Fuchs, the atomic scientist sentenced in London for spying, had passed information to the Soviet. Tass said that Fuchs was not known to the Soviet Government, and that no agent of the Soviet Goernment had had any connection with Fuchs. It added: “With reference to the trial of Fuchs and the statement of the At-torney-General (Sir Hartley Shawcross) that Fuchs passed on atom information to Soviet agents, Tass is empowered to state that Sir Hartley Shawcross’s statements are crude inventions.”
