Fuchs’ citizenship ‘denied in private LONDON .(AP) — Doc- uments made public under Britain's “80-year rule” show that Britain decided private- ly in 1950 to deny citizenship to communists following the Klaus Fuchs spy case. The documents, ported by Britain's domestic news agency Press Associ- - ation, quoted Home Secre- tary James Chuter-Ede tell- ing Parliament of the secret decision: “The revelations of Dr. munist convictions will brush aside all other loyalties and Béieves that bi riding duty. ‘to: Union can dissemble Hef.” - . Former ‘German com- munist Fuchs had, come to Britain as a- refugee from Nazi Germany, adopted Brit- -ish citizenship and had riser to deputy scientific director at the Harwell Atomic Re- ~ - search Centre. Te- In 1950, he was sen- tanced to 14 years for passing secrets to the Soviets, Today he lives in East Germany. According to: the docu- ments released Thursday, Prime Minister Clement At” * tlee decided the same day as Fuchs show: more clearly - * than ever before. how com- a preds conference by U. President Hary Truman’ to ily ‘to Washington to try ‘to persuade him not to use the bo ‘. sidered to be still too sensi- + tive to release to the public. - Freedom unlikely _ before inauguration | : by THE ' ASBOCIATED PRESS Tehran radio said Satur- day it is “totally improb- able” the 62 Amorican host- ages in Iran will be freed before U.S. President-elect Reagan replaces President Carter on Jan. 20, and that the issue then “will remain, as it is now, at an impasse. The official Tranian F. radio renewed threats of hostage telals, saying they would oceur if the U.S. government does not meet Iran's terms in the mistaken belief the condi- tions might be softened after Reagan took office. + It. accused both Reagan and Carter of not ‘really wanting freedom for the hostages, who today begin their 15th month in captivity. . The statements came in the latest of a stream of commentaries on the hostage by the Iranian state radio, which is controlled by the Islamic fundamentalists who have consistently maintained 8 hard-line position against freeing the Americans and have pressed “for hostage trials, Three radio comméniaries Saturday appeared in part to be a reply to Carter's state- ment that time is running out for solving the crisis under his administration, contained in the lateat U.S. reply to Tran delivered Friday, by Algerian intermediaries. U.S. officials in. Washing- ton said the reply also- rejected Iran’s demand that $24 billion by deposited in Algeria's Central Hank be- fore the hostages are freed, but offered to deposit about $12 billion to meet Iran's money demands. . F CONCERN OVER REAGAN Like other editorials in the last two days, the commen- taries also reflected concern over Reagan and how he would handle the crisis after taking office. The president- elect could presumably serap the current negotiating pro- T cess if agreement iS not reached by his inauguration day, Jan. 20, “It does not make any: difference whether the prob-' lem is solved during the * Carter-Democratic party administration — which . seems totally improbable — or during the term of offics of the next Rorald Reagan- Republican party govern-- ment,” said one of the Saturday commontarics, It continued: “If the Democratic party: . wants to leave this cursed legacy for the Reagan admin- istration, the basic issye would remain the same. The . U:S.A. is obliged to solve this problem. Naturally the prob- - Jem will be solved only if — Western wishful thinking to one side — the U.S.A. were - to accept Iran's pro; posals, - “If the U.S.A. thinks that Tran-will show more lenience in the matter, it is greatly mistaken. It would be better for it not to embark on such a dangerous experiment. In such an event. the U.S.A. would witness the trial of the American hostages... . °° “What can be forecast is* that by dean. 20, when the Carter administration va- cates the White House for the Zionist clique of Reagan, the issue of the hostages will remain as it is now, at. an impasse. The Reagan admin- istration-would then have | to find a solution to it... ..”. _ “But, if Reagan does. not think up something. for’ the; isaue right now, and relies on . the wishful thinking that the Iranian -government might show’ more leniency, he would be making a great Muistake.” The radio ‘said because Carter lost to Reagan in tho US. election last Nov. 4 “Be deems it ‘ unnecessary haggle for the freedom of the hostages but would rather - that the problem that has Safe him burden Reagan Nolson * ; Back row, left. to right: Gorkoff - assistant coach,;!
