A. Dorrance is alive today because he had $1295. Th'at's the amount he paid in bribes to Chinese Communists to get out of the country that called him the "No.

1 Nationalist spy." "I began by paying $250 for a copy of the Reds' dossier on me," Dorrance a resident of China for 34 years, declared here yesterday.

Chiang Kai-shek is a man of integrity but controlled by the evil men around him, Dorrance says. The people must protect themselves against the government which does nothing for them. The average Chinese has no public spirit.

He doesn't care who runs him, he want3 to know only what the price of rice will be. An estimated 10,000 Russians have taken over Hungejo, an elite suburb of Shanghai, and are running the city from there. No outsider is permitted to enter the area.
