LONDON—Dr. Klaus Fuchs. bril¬ liant scientist who sold atomic se- orets to Russia, may ask for mercy; when he is oalled to trial in hopei that he may yet be of value to the! countries h« betrayed. j
But British offlciaU, tightening! all phases of security, said there waa Uttle chance F^jchs ever again would be permitted to look at a restricted document or hear an atomic  secret.

Truman laat Saturday that it was "questionable" whether the miners could be driven back to work by the "legal blackjack" of the Taft- Hartley Iav/. 92  Million  Pines  Paid
If the miners refuse to reopen the strikebound pits, Lewis may have to prove to the courts that his back-to-work orders were not really a veiled signal to continue the strike. He and his union al¬ ready have paid $2,130,000 In con¬ tempt of court fines for defying such   injunctions   in   the   past.
Lewis followed up his instruc¬ tions to UMW local offices with telegrams to leaders of the coal industry offering to meet with them   here  at  11  a.m.   EST,   Wed-
ences. Moody was the only one of the leading industry negotiators in Washington today.
Lewis acted only a few hours after the govemment proclaimed a national coal emergency and ob¬ tained two Taft-Hartley Injunc¬ tions ordering him to call off the strike and drop alleged "illegal" contract demands. Put Teeth tn Order
Federal Judge Richmond B, Keech signed the two orders only a few minutes apart, following a warning from President Truman that the national health and wel¬ fare will be Imperiled if the strike Is permitted to go on.
