Page 4 College Station, Texas March 23, 1961 THE BATTALION INCLUDING TWO AMERICANS British Convict Five Spies By The Associated Press LONDON — A Soviet master spy and two Americans linked to the Rosenberg and Abel espionage cases were convicted Wednesday as agents for Moscow, along with two Britons. The five spies drew unprece dented prison terms of 15 to 25 years. The court ruled their crime went beyond Britain’s official se crets statute calling for a maxi mum of seven years. A jury of 12 men convicted the five of stealing British navy se crets including details of the atom ic submarine Dreadnought, built with the help of U. S. blueprints. Background Withheld The background of all five had been withheld from the jury so as not to jeopardize a free trial, un der British procedures. Scotland Yard disclosed it after the convic tion, and Chief Justice Sir Robert Lister Parker imposed these sen tences in Old Bailey court: Gordon Arnold Lonsdale, 37, who claimed to be a Canadian, represented himself sometimes as an American, but actually was a Russian, 25 years as the directing force of the spy ring. Peter Kohn Kroger, 50, and his wife, Helen, 47, posing as book sellers and owners of a small sub urban home, 20 years each. They were identified in court as Morris Cohen and his wife Lorna, Ameri can citizens, associated with Com munists since the Spanish Civil War. Henry F. Houghton, 56, an ad miralty clerk, 15' years for selling Lonsdale antisubmarine test docu ments'. Miss Ethel Elizabeth Gee, 46, Houghton’s sweetheart, 15 years for providing documents which wound up in Lonsdale’s hands. Lord Pai’ker called the espio nage case “one of the most dis graceful in peacetime history.” Consequently, he said, he was reaching back into common law for the penalty. Under the common law, which goes back almost to the Magna Carta, “there is no maximum sentence,” he explained. Professionals Lord Parker called Lonsdale |nd the Kroger-Cohens “profes- iional spies.” The Old Bailey crowd let out gasps of surprise at the sentence. Order had to be called by the bailiffs. But the five defendants, who had pleaded innocent, took the sentences impassively. Before sentencing, Scotland Yard Supt. George Smith said Ru dolf Abel had photographs of the Krogers when he was arrested in New York four years ago.
