British Tell Of Third Man in Burgess MacLean Case
London AP reports government minister Edward Heath stated Harold Philby, a former British diplomat, was the third man in the MacLean Burgess spy case. Philby allegedly spied for the Russians while in the Foreign Office and warned MacLean and Burgess of impending arrests, prompting their 1951 flight to Russia. He later left the service in 1955 and became a newspaper correspondent before vanishing in Beirut. Heath says Philby admitted to spying before 1946 and warning the two officials through Burgess.
