IN PEKIN RECOVERED IN KANSAS CITY KANSAS CITY, Nov.

by Government secret service agents Saturday of two drafts for $5000 each, signed by Henry F. Krenz, throws new light on the mysterious disappearance of Krenz recently from American Legation in Pekin. Krenz was disbursing officer for the legation. Several weeks ago he disappeared while supposedely on a hunting trip in China. Checking of his accounts brought to light a shortage in legation funds of $31,000, and Krenz was arrested.

Davenport, head of, the secret service office in Kansas City, revealed the two drafts for $5000 had been mailed to the Commerce Trust with insrtuctions that they be deposited to the account of Arthur M. St. Clair, a brother-in-law of Krenz, according to Davenport. Davenport said his investigations had revaled St.

Clair knew nothing about the drafts. Following discovery of the drafts, Roscoe Patterson, United States District Attorney, served notice on the Commerce Trust Co. not to disburse the money. It was said the Government would claim the money as reimburse- to institute contempt proceedings was plainly the reason for his refusal to serve on the special committee of three appointed to investigate whsther such proceeding should be instituted. Interest centered today on the side issue raised by the differences between Siddons and Gordon, now accentuated by the Justice's order making the correspondence between him and the District Attorney of the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy case record.

Whether Siddons issued the order merely as a technica' juatter whether he had other motives--possibly contempt action againsi was not clear today.
