who had been attached to the
British Embassy in “Washing-
ton, was home on leave for dis-|
ciplining at the time.
Viadimir Petrov, a Soviet dip-
lomat who deserted to the West,
{said recently that both men had
been recruited as Communist
agents in the 1930s.
Nearly two years after their
disappearance, MacLean's
American-born wife,’ Melinda,
vanished from Switzerland with
their three chiidren. Their trail
was traced to the Iron Curtain,
border in Austria. She is be-’
lieved to have joined her hus-
band. '
The present whereabouts of
Burgess and MacLean have not
been definitely established, al-
though there have been reports
placing them in Moscow or in a
satellite country.
Although acknowledging that
the government had not acted
promptly, Eden warned against
jeopardizing British liberties in
building up defenses against
Spies.
