British Police Seek Missing Russian-Speaking British Diplomats
British secret agents and police scoured western Europe for two Russian-speaking British diplomats who disappeared two weeks ago. Donald Duart MacLean, 38, head of the American department at the Foreign Office, and Guy Francis de Moncy Burgess, 40, ex-second secretary at the British embassy in Washington, are suspected of seeking Moscow. Messages from the men reached England claiming good health, as investigators traced the case through France and Paris with exits to Soviet bloc nations under scrutiny. Concerns rise that strained Anglo American ties could follow if they are not found quickly, recalling past defections of Bruno Pontecorvo and Lajos Janossy.
