24 an has turned up two mysteriously missing short-term U S Treasury bonds and is fighting forts of the Chinese Nationalist government to gain possession of them He is William E Decker of Decker Co Accountants His at- torney Irving Goodman asid he got the bonds recently from a John Anderson of New York City in payment for a real estate trans- action The Chinese Nationalist ment has started actions in Circuit and Superior Courts here to get the bonds The Nationalists claim the bonds are part of awarded it by a U.S District Court in Washington in 1954 They are among two million lars in U.S notes purchased in 1951 by Nationalist Lt Gen Tsu Mow whose release from a Mexican prison was ordered today Embezzlement Charged The Nationalists contend Mow embezzled the six million ly part cf a

However the bank held the second bond after checking serial numbers Goodman termed the Nationalist court cases harassing actions and added they should sue if they think they have the money com- ing The way they have things now they can question Decker but every time Decker tries to tion them they claim diplomatic immunity he added Goodman said Mow claimed he gave much of the money he was accused

Germany into a tral in the East-West struggle In sharp language he assailed any such proposal as unrealistic and said no one believes 0 million Germans with their great tradition could play such a neutral role Dulles thus stressed this ment's insistence that West many should remain in alliance with the West The West Germans have just entered the North At- Treaty Alliance defense up of non-Communist powers i Dulles spoke out at a news con- in an effort to ease some alarm in West Germany over ident Eisenhower's comments on neutrality last week No Change Of Policy The President had told reporters at his news There i seems to be developing the thought that there be built up a series of neutralized states from north to south through Europe These remarks aroused tion that the United States switching its long-standing policy to favor including Germany as of this neutral belt of nations But Dulles said he has been by Eisenhower to say flatly that no such interpretation should be placed on the President's re- marks j The secretary disclosed he sonally assured West German Heinz Krekeler of this in answer to the envoy's i urgent inquiry at a dinner the i night before i Replying to questions Dulles made it clear American opposition to German neutrality covered both I West Germany and a possibly united Germany which be of- the role of an armed neutral like Austria Does Not Apply To Germany 1 It is the view of the United States he said that a policy of neutrality has no application to a country of the character of many It is all well to talk about neutrality for a country such as i Austria a small country with S en million people But I do not believe any body realistically be- that the German people odd million of them were de- signed to play the role of a neutral country I Furthermore as President has pointed out the kind of neutrality which discussed in terms of Austria is an armed neutrality and there is no limit in the Austrian state treaty upon 1 the size of the Austrian army I do not think that the German i people or the Soviet people or the Western European people want to j see applied to Germany the con- cept of it being an independent
