that aiomic leak, by scientists
Emil Fuchs and Alan Nunn May
might have speeded Russia's
bomb program by tar more than
a year
As he entered a Gored door
session of the Congressional A-
tomic Committee Groves confirm-
ed alro that Fuchs. British scien-
tist accused of helping the Rus-
sians. piobably had some know
ledge of early work on the by- I
drogen uper bomb
The former commander of the
Army's Manhattan distnet, was
• ailed to Capitol Hill to tell what
he knew about Fuchs who war {
on the inside of the gaseous dif-
fusion and bomb assembly phases
of the program
Asked about the report that
Fuchs' leaks to the Communist
may haw advanced Russia's
bomb-making time-table by a
year. Groves replied
“Between Dr. May and Dr
Fuchs, if Fuchs is guilty ar barg-
ed. I think a yeai would be a
very small amount "
Dr May was convicted in Eng-
land of having given secret ma-
terial to Russia
Groves recalled his 1946 fore-
cast that it would take Russia
five to seven years to moke a
toinic bombs "if they gel help
from us" or 10 to 15 years with
out such help from U S., Britain,
Switzedland. or some other coun-
try with engineering know-how
The reining Army officer said
his forecast was right. He said
"They started sooner and got
more help than I imagined"
Asked if Fuchs had access to
hydrogen bomb information dur-
ing the wartime program. Groves
referred to hi* earlier statement
that Fuchs had access lo "propo*--
ed weapons,"
A* to whether "proposed wea-
pons" meant hydtugen bombs.
Grover, replied
"Naturally, we weren't asleep
to hydrogen possibilities."
Groves denied that Furhs, al-
though "vouched for" by tlu* Bri-
tish Government, had "unlimit-
ed access" to atomic secrets while
he was assigned to the Manhat-
tan District from BMP to 1945
