...first time since Donald Mac-Lean and Guy Burgess of Britain's Foreign Office disappeared more than two years ago, Moscow was provoked to comment on the case. The Soviet propaganda weekly New Times last week denied that Burgess and MacLean had voluntarily gone or had been lured behind the Iron Curtain. "The insolent, provocative nature of these theories," said the magazine, "stinks to high heaven."

Urged to the chase by a suddenly jittery British Foreign Office, the police of five nations were as hard put to find an answer as they were to determine the whereabouts of MacLean himself. No certain information has ever come out concerning the two diplomats, both known to be Communist sympathizers. They have been variously reported as shot by British counter-espionage agents, in a Communist prison, or living in luxury behind the Iron Curtain.
