“Third-Man' Music All That's Needed Now
Who Was the s Mastermind
in MacLean- Burgess Case?
By MILTON BERLINER (See Editorial on next page}
A little “Third Man” music is all the MacLean-Burgess spy case needs now.
‘The famous case of the two
missing British diplomats—both
of whom served here in Wash-
ington—has been given every-
thing from a pooh-pooh to a
British white paper.
Now, with a little theme-song, It
would seem to be ready for the
movie thriller treatment, too, for to-
day, the big unanswered question Is:
@ Who masterminded Guy
gess and Donald Duart MacLean?
© Who helped them transmit gov-
ernment secrets to Russia and then
helped them skip from England,
right from under the noses of the
British counter-espionage agents
(who had been alerted) and then
helped forge the various messages
to which either Burgess’s or Mac-
Lean’s name were signed?
@ Who masterminded the quiet
fade-out behind the Iron Curtain of
the American wife and three chil-
dren of Donald MacLean? This hap-
pened at Geneva, more than three
years after her husband and his co-
conspirator had vanished.
BEGINNING; _—-
The whole @ory, which—to put
not too muci§ I@mon in the tca—has
the British rnment a bit upset,
began when McLean and Burgess
were students :together at_ Trinity
College in Cambridge, England,
Both had brilliant academic records.
Both showed some communist lean-
ings while there, Both seemed to
have renounced them -whea_they,»
