Soviet Spy haunts. British LONDON (REUTER) — Donald Maclean, the British diplomat turned Soviet spy who died in Moscow last week, will haunt British pol- itieal and espionage leaders for years. Thirty-two years after he fled to the Soviet Union to avoid arrest, Britons cannot be sure the infamous Cam: bridge spy ring to which he belonged has yielded its last sensation. Speculation has centred in recent years on the identity of another member of the ring, comprising Communist students at Cambridge Uni- versity in the depressed 1930s, As late as 1981, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher denied in Parliament the sensational allegation Sir Roger Hollis, who headed the CASTLEGAR NEWS, March 16, 1983 Telephone 365-5210 Rha business directory : Brian L.

Veteran journalist and writer Chapman Pincher, naming Hollis in his book Their Trade Is Treachery, said the Soviet Union pene- trated the British security services “so deeply and for so long that they not only neu- tralized them but effectively ran them.” Thatcher insisted Sir Rog- er had been cleared of sus- picion ‘by a top-level 1974 inquiry. Maclean, thé son of a Lib- eral former cabinet minister, rose to be head of the Amer- ican desk of the British For- eign Office and gave the So- viets top-secret telegrams of British wartime leader Win- ston Chruchill among‘ a wealth of other data.

One of them is Kim Philby, who reached the top ranks of the secret intelligence ser- vice, the organization of fic- tional spy James Bond, be- fore defecting himself in 1963 and now works in Moscow as an analyst for the Soviet KGB security police. Prof. Anthony Blunt was publicly revealed as a self- confessed traitor by That- cher in 1979 and now lives quietly in London, stripped of his knighthood under which he was addressed as Sir Anthony. Blunt, an art expert who for more than 20 years looked after the royal collection of paintings, had confessed in the early 1960s in return for a guarantee he would never be charged. PROSECUTING DANGEROUS Pincher said Maclean would probably have receiv- eda similar deal if he had not fled. “I have been assured by people who were involved in the case that there was never any intention of prosecut- ing,” said Pincher. “The dip- lomatic and political efforts of prosecuting a man like that in 1951 would have been re- garded as too horrendous.” As it was, the shock of his defection caused the United States to put a brake on its supply of secret data to Brit- ain. It and other scandals in- volving the Cambridge ring deeply embarrassed the Brit- ish diplomatic and security services. It sent shock waves through the British class systems, for Maclean was the first member of the upper class “ to be- Appliances Scid Maytag — General Eleciric Kitchen Aid — Jenn-Air —Gibson— “THE BEST” WARRANTY SERVICE INSTALLATION SERVICE EXPERT REPAIR SERVICE on all major CASTLE TIRE (1977) Led.

His colleague, Stables, a. 64-year-old:. former superintendent of schools for the Greater Victoria school district, explained that the commission ‘would not be used asa "political football” during an election. “I think we both have the integrity to stop,” he said.

Slik said the sutdents won't be fully until they “acted as loving and caring parents” who wanted their son to “be allowed to die in peace,” said Justice Lloyd McKenzie. But their attitude toward Stephen is “basically one of despair,” he said, and he could'not “accept the view that Stephen would be better off'dead.” “E-tremble at the thought that the lives of-disabled per- sons should depend on such thinking.” “Tomy knowledge; it's the firat clear j of a Human.
