w. GERMANY'S INTELEIGENCE CHIEF DISAPPEARS BEHIND IRON CURTAIN

BERLIN, (Reuters)- West Ger. flliln.V,l intelligence chief, Otto John, disappeared behind the Iron Curtain Tuesday. the lovernrnent announced Thursday.

A security official in Bonn said iha six-foot Communist-hunter had been drugged and abducted into Communist East Berlin. But West German police insisted he bolted of his own free will in 3 state or depression."

He was last seen at 8 p.m. Tueg. my in the company of "an old '2-icnd," Dr. Wolfgang Wohlgemut

John's secretary said that Tues-

iIZl)' night John got a phone call ' irom a doctor he knew well, who f

called on him to meet a "desper. air" nerd for help, intelligence miners in Bonn said.

John helped draft a government siatement on Communist kidnap- ping plots in the Western sector shortly before he disappeared. west. German government officials at Bonn said Thursday night.

His Spanish-born wife insists hc uont to East Berlin because of a "mental depression". West German police said. This was flatly contra- dicted by the West German inter- ior ministry in a statement which said "all the signs so far indicate he has been the victim of abduc- tion into the Soviet zone of Ger- niany.T' lN ROBUST HEALTH

John, 45, and in robust health. carried in his head some of the republics top secrets about spy nciworks. He headed the West Ger- man office for the protection of the constitution. which has up- rooted several Communist espionage rings and brought a number of spies in trlgl in West Germany.

Police said John left a hotel Tues y night and took a taxi to the urfuerstendamm, West Eer- iin's brightly-lit main street. He walked about 100 yards to Dr. Wohlgemuth's office with other un- identified men. '

Poiicejound a letter the West Berlin doctor left for his woman nssistant, which said John was going to East Berlin of his own will. But an interior ministry spokesman in Bonn said the letter only showed that Dr. Wohlgmriuth had tried to avoid suspicion of being a party to John's kidnap- pmg.

west German police theorized that John was "depressed" because he had been subjcted to "a great rieal of hostility" about hldl spy- hiinting Job. His department was accused in the Bonn Parliament iwo weeks ago of acting like Hit- ioi-'s gestapo.

; MONTGOMERY. Ala. (AP) .1 jQualifi'cd martial law was de- l clarorl in Phenix City Thursday by lGnvcrnor Gordon Persons. Maj.- lGcn. Walter J. Hanna. command- iing the Alabama national guard. i immediately took over the city hall ?and courthouse there.

lThis action followed by nearly Cfliie weeks the gang-style slaying of Albert L. Patterson on June ill at Phenix City. Patterson had won Democratic nomination for attor- ncy-general of the state on an anti- virc platform.

Spocinl troops were sent to Phenix City Thursday. City police and deputy sheriffs were ordered to surrender their weapons and H.-Inna announced all pistol per- mits had been revoked.

The move came as Persons an- nounced a proclamation to "sup- press the slate of lawlessness, in- timidaiinn. tumult and fear which reigns" in Russell county. of which Phenix City is the county seat.

Phnnlx City has long been Ala- bama's gambling capital and John Patterson. son of the slain man and now the nominee for attorney- general. estimated the take from organized crime there at 520,000,- 000 annually.

The governor instructed Hanna in take over all activities of thei sheriff. dcputics, chief of police; and all police officers. and con- stablos in Phenix City and Russell county.

I ' By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, (AP) - Britain and the United States have agreed to join in calling an international con- ference of about 10 nations by Sept. 1 to create an anti- Communist Southeast Asian alliance. Consultations with friendly nations which may participate are already being

held. The aim of the conference will be to conclude a de-

fensive treaty that would post "no trespassing" warnings for the Communists along the borders of South Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia in Indo-China, and of Thailand and

The British government is sound- ing out India's Prime Minister - Nehru and leader of Indonesia. Ceylon. Burma and Pakistan on participation. Washington has no . real hope that Nehru. n ncutralist in the cold war. will be willing to join in. and doubts the wisdom of including Pakistan. which is re- garded as more importantly linked to mid-eastern security through a pact with Turkey. Burma and Cey- lon might co-operate. but no optim- ism is felt about Indonesia's gov- ornmcnt. which is as neutralist as that of India.
