The government has no case, and that’s why he hasn’t been charged, Felix S. Bloch, who has been tailed by FBI agents and reporters since he was identified nearly two months ago as a suspected Soviet spy, told Time magazine. Bloch refused to comment on allegations he passed secrets to the Soviet Union. When asked, he paused 30 seconds and told the Time correspondent: “I can’t comment on particulars, for then I must comment on the whole.” Bloch has surrendered his passports and has been followed around Washington by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Bloch said he was stoic under the intense scrutiny.
