TUCSON, SUNDAY, MARCH 5, 1972 I THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR Ex-Czech Chief HH tfo 6 I Of Nuclear Fuel Flees To West By HENRY KA.UM WJ Htm Vo.il Thmt Nm Sfvto PARIS Hie former head of the Czechoslovak uranium Industry, which accounts for about a fifth of Soviet needs In the strategic element, has escaped from a Prague prison and found refuge in the West after a month-long chase. The official, Karel Bocek, spent his first six months In the West Incognito because he had indications that Czechoslovak agents were searching for him and because he did not want to endanger members of his family still in Czechoslovakia. He had been charged with sabotage because of a strike in the uranium mines after the Soviet-led invasion of 19G8. In an interview Bocek said, "My family had nothing to do with my escape, and I must say so to try to help my father and brother." Bocek, 46, said he had learned that his father, who is 71, was arrested last October after receiving a medal for 50 years' membership in the Communist Party, which he joined at its founding. His brother, who has also been detained, Joined the party in 1945, when he was liberated from a death cell in a Nazi concentration camp, Bocek said.

Bocek Jumped through a window in the prosecutor general's wing of Pacrac Prison in Prague last July 6 as he was being conducted to a prison van after an interrogation. He had been held at another prison in Prague since the preceding September. He said that while he supported the strike, which was called under the motto "not a gram for the occupants," and lasted eight days, he did not organize it. All Czechoslovak uranium except for minute quanitites for experimental purposes is exported to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union took out more than 90 per cent of the ore In unprocessed form, allowing only 4 to 8 per cent of the poorest to go into the first step of refining in Czechoslovakia, Bocek said.

Furthermore, he said, the Russians took all possible measures to prevent the Czechoslovaks from developing their own nuclear power. When construction of an experimental nuclear-fuel plant began at Zbraslav, outside Prague, Soviet officials accused Bocek to his superior of preparing to undermine the socialist community and intending to sell nuclear fuel to the West After the reform leadership under Alexander Dubcek came to power early in 1968, Bocek intensified the effort by reaching preliminary agreement with Canada and making some contacts with Westinghouse for the construction of independent nuclear-powre plants. The occupation ended the program. ram Mcimyeti l0EtfnmiV some items as is all sidjsct to pmoa sale partial listing only T7i tferl HIM) j'fj TICXM7AY RECUMia Gold durable, easy-car vinyl; bis cuit tufted back I 229.95 DAYSTROfA CONTEMPORARY CHINA I Walnut finish; class top doors, cane bottom doors wasekcuse sale price kasercxse saie psxe I ii SPAK1SII LIVING ROOM PIECES by KROSHLER Black deep-grained vinyl upholstery luxuriously comfortable Rugged oak finish trim accents thickly padded rolled arms. $180 232.95 LOVESEAT $155 1 40 249.95 RECUNER 1 5 8 Tass Reports Angela Sees Socialist Victory MOSCOW (AP) Angela Davis has told a Soviet correspondent in California she believes the United States will be a socialist country some day.

The agreement, to play the first half of the match in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, the site preferred by Fischer, and the second half in Reykjavik, Iceland, which was Spassky's first choice, represented a compromise after the two players had failed to agree on a single city. The compromise had been proposed by Dr. Max Euwe, chairman of the World Chess Federation, under international rules that give him the right to fix a championship site if the two sides do not reach agreement. The Soviet Union declared at first that it did not feel itself bound by Euwe's ruling on the ground that he had previously violated regulations by extending a deadline for submission of preferred match sites by Fischer.

However, the Soviet Chess Federation relented after Euwe traveled to Moscow to persuade the Russians to agree to the compromise. li I HI '1 id ii ii i i i i. Baskakov said in his San Jose dispatch distributed Saturday that Miss Davis also thanked the Soviet Union for its support and "expressions of solidarity" during her 16-month imprisonment before the trial got under way. "This is the struggle for socialism," Baskakov quoted Miss Davis as saying, "and I believe that the time will come for socialism to triumph in the United States." The correspondent said Miss Davis "is desirous to visit the Soviet Union and other socialist countries and see personally the remarkable achievements of free people." Miss Davis, 28, has been portrayed in the Soviet Union since her arrest as a heroic figure persecuted for her Communist ideals. She has been the subject of a campaign of petitions, appeals and mass meetings.

She is charged in an Aug. 7, 1970, shooting that claimed four lives at the courthouse in San Rafael, north of San Francisco. She is accused of providing guns to the men who did the shooting. The Soviet media rarely mention the shooting or Miss Davis' alleged role in it. She is depicted as one of many "po-Utical prisoners" in the United States who have been "framed." "The struggle for immediate release of all political prisoners in the United States is not only the struggle against the anti-popular system of courts and prisons in the United States," the Tass interviewer quoted Miss Davis as saying.

"This is also the struggle against the capitalist system itself, against ruling circles of the United States which, try-ing to preserve their domination, systematically frame up cases against all otherwise-minded persons." ii i in i.
