THE CHINA MAIL, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1953,

Sensational Hoax On A High Official Level Alleged In W. Germany

Bonn, June 17.

One of West Germany's most sensational postwar cases, involving an alleged discovery of how to make artificial diamonds, is due to come before a court here on July 27.

According to Herr Zug, the State Prosecutor, United States and German firms were defrauded of nearly one million marks (about £83,000 sterling). In addition, he alleges, the West German Economics Ministry and former U.S. High Commissioner in Germany, Mr John McCloy, were also deceived..

Allow Russian Wives

Of Britons To Go.

London, June 17.

Mr Anthony Nutting, Foreign Under- secretary, told the House of Commons today the Soviet Government had been left in no doubt of Britain's views of her refusal to allow Russian wives to join their husbands in Britain.

Mr Norman Dodds, Labour, had asked if the Minister would see that the Russians were aware of the fact that no single incident has done more to harm goodwill between the people of this coun- try and those of Russia than the prevention of these women from joining their husbands”.
