The linear magnetostriction ({lambda}{sub //} and {lambda}{sub //}) of a single-crystalline sample of the heavy-fermion compound UBe{sub 13} has been measured for fields B < 8 T (B{sub //}(100)) in the temperature interval 0.3 < T < 12 K. We find neither evidence for the antiferromagnetic order (T{sub N}=8.8 K) nor for the magnetostrictive oscillations, that were reported recently. Instead {lambda} varies proportional to B{sup 2} as expected for a normal paramagnetic metal. 8 refs., 3 figs.
