| Description: |
Joseph Peter ASTBURY: British. Peter ASTBURY studied at Cambridge 1935-38, joined the Communist Party in 1936, and was a member of the Apostles. Enlisted in the army in 1940, coverage of Party Headquarters in connection with the SPRINGHALL case showed ASTBURY to be passing information to SPRINGHALL knowing he was working for the Russians. When questioned in December 1943 ASTBURY lied. He worked for Professor BLACKETT at Manchester University on atomic energy, and researched cosmic rays at the Jungfrau High Altitude Laboratory in Switzerland |
