Arrest Fourth
Member Of Fuchs’
Atomic Spy Ring
(Continued from Page One)
Americans it says were implicated
in the spy ring headed by Dr.
Klaus Fuchs, the German-born
c o m m u n ist sympathizer who
worked his way to the top of Bri
tain’s atomic program.
Fuchs confessed and now is
serving a long prison term in Eng
land. Harry Gold, a Philadelphia
biochemist; Alfred Dean Slack, a
scientist, of Syracuse, N. Y., and
David Greenglass, a New York
machinist and former U. S. army
sergeant.
All were charged with wartime
espionage — a charge that can
mean the death penalty.
The FBI announcement said the
American-born Rosenberg’s part
in the ring was the recruiting of
Greenglass—then stationed at the
atomic bomb laboratories at Los
Alamos, N. M.—to work with
Gold.
Like a character in a fictional
spy drama, Rose n b e r g gave
Greenglass an oddly cut top from
a Jello box to be matched with
the other half as a recognition
signal with Gold, the FBI said.
As a result, Greenglass turned
over bomb data to both Gold and
Rosenberg in 1945, the agency
Said.
He—Can I turn off the hall
light?
She—Yau may.
He—Can I turn off the big light?
She—Sure Jim.
He—Can I turn off the sofa
light?
She—Why, yes, Jimmy.
He—Now that it’s all dark in
here, can I ask a question?
She—Oh, yes, Jimmy.
He—Do you think this limin
tie pin is worth two bits?

Fire Threatens
Fort Yukon
(Continued from Page One)
from the river to avoid the floods.
FAIRBANKS, (/P) — Residents
of Fort Yukon, a tiny Arctic Circle
village 150 miles to the norths
crossed their fingers today and
hoped for either a shift in the
wind or a heavy rain.
, * • • 9
One or the other appeared ne
cessary to save the village from
destruction by a wind-swept for
est fire which at last reports had
jumped a bulldozed fire line. How
close it had come to the city was
not disclosed.
t
Mrs. Ed Toussaint, postmistress,
radioed that the village was “com
pletely isolated.” Dense smoke,
blanketed the area like a thick
fog, making it impossible to send
aid by air.
Residents gathered along the
river, possessions packed, ready
to evacuate to the other side of
the sprawling Yukon is necessary.
Bob Rice, one of two pilots who
attempted to reach the village
yesteray, said it was impossible
to land firefighting equipment. He
described the flight as like “fly
ing through a mountain of cin
ders.” Another pilot, lost without
instruments, was forced to set
down on the Beaver River and de
termine his bearings by the flow
of the river current.
CHARLES PENNYCOOKS
DEPART FOR SITKA
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Penny
cook bid farewell to their many
friends in Nome and left for Sitka
today with the Pan American,
where they plan to take up perm
anent residence if suitable housing
can be found.
The Pennycooks, Alaskans since
the early days, have no desire to
move to thfr States, but are mov
ing a little farther south to have a
“garden, trees and running water
the year round.”
