Of American Atomic

BERLIN, (Reuters)- The last man to see Otto John on the western side of the Iron Curtain said Saturday the West German intelligence chief laughed as the crossed the frontier and said the soviet zone, was "exactly when we want to go."

The eyewitness, a customs offi- cial. told West Berlin police he saw John and his friend, Dr. Wolfgang Wohlgemuth. in an iutomobile at the frontier.

West Berlin newspapers quoted the customs official as saying John was driving the car.

WILL KNOW SECRETS

Meanwhile in Bohn. allied offi- cials said that within a few weeks Russia will know many key western secrets. including the locations of.American atomic cannons in Germany. as a result of John's defection or kidnapping.

American sources said John was entrusted with screening all Ger- man workers employed on com- munications lines in the south- west part of the American zone of Germany.-

The allied sources merits by the American. British and French governments that John know only about security matters inside Germany was major understatement.

The West Bcrlln papers all sc- .-optcd Friday night's "I went ni my own accord" broadcast over the Communist radio as having been made by the missing chief of West Germany's intelligence

iervlces. But police still suspect that Dr. Wohlgemiith. a wealthy sur-

goon and psychologist whom the West German govcrnmeiit dc- scribes as an active Communist. may have drugged him.

The two men told the cus- toms official they were going to the East Berlin University hos- pital. John was reported "de- pressed" before he vanished. and the police said Dr. Wohlgemuth

Police are mystified concerning a series oi similar attacks which they report have taken place re- cently in. the area from Upper; Prince street"-'fIo17i'RiIisboro sand Weymouth Streets. All suspects have been contacted, and persons who would ordinarily be under suspicion have been cleared. The only clues found in this instance were a brown oxford, size nine. and ii rubber play knife.

Chief of Police MacArthur states that the Police Force has a. very difficult problem in apprehending this type of criminal because of the speed with which he works and his method of attacking his victim from behind. He asks the co- operation of all citizens in bring- ing to the attention of police any further clues which could be as- sociated with these crimes. In the m esntlm s plainciotl-iesmen have been assigned to various sections of the City and every effort will be put. forth to take into custody what the Chief describes "as a dangerous criminal at large.”
