LANSING. Mich. July 10. - Edward
Ver Linden. who Is being sued by the
General Motors Corporation. and who
now Is head of the Lansing division OF
the Durant Motors Corporation, said
to-day that the suit was the result
of a difference OF opinion over the con-
tract which he had with the General
Motors Corporation In 1918. 1919 and
1920.
He said that Pierce 8. du Pont. presi-
dent OF General Motors. claimed that
for 1920 he should be paid a percentage
on about 32,000.0o0. the net income Of
the corporation after special charges
and deductions were taken of Yer

corporation gave out report showing
that the net earnings were s93.150. 30s.
The controversy and eventually the
suit. he said. arose over the special
''write-offs and write-downs" which he
claimed were not justified under the
terms OF the contract and which Du
Pont insisted upon claiming.
ver Linden said he had tried to ar
range an adjustment with Du Pont af-
ter he was dismissed from General

been issued to banks here to lmpound
any sums credited to Yer Linden.

Edward Yer Linden Charged
With Appropriating Sum
Above Salary.
GENERAL MOTORS SUING
Head of Oldsmobile Works Re-
ceived 100000; Complaint
Says He Took More.

Edward Yer Linden of Lansing,
Mich, whose salary was 100000 a
year as general manager Of the Olds
Motor Works division of the GenNal
Motors Corporation in that city, is ac-
cused Of appropriating $590,352.53 of
the corporations money in an action
begun yesterday in the Supreme Court
here to compel him to return that sum.
Justice Edward r. Finch in the ex
parte term granted permission for the
corporations attorneys to serve the
defendant by publication after affi-
davits BY several of the corporation
officials convinced him that Yer Lin
den is not in the courts jurisdiction.
The corporation also obtained an at
tachment against whatever Of the de-
fendant's property might be found in
New York county. but an affidavit by
Sheriff Knott stated no such property
has been found In the county.
The complaint recites that Yer Linden
is a vice-president and director of the
General Motors Corporation. and for
May Is. 1921. was general manager OF
the OldsmobiIe plant In Lansing
Attached to the complaint as an ex-
hibit Is a copy of a contract entered on
January I. 1920. under which he was to
receive the $4,000 salary. This stated

fendant caused to be paid to himself
and appropriated for his own use from
tho funds of the plaintiff on deposit with
it's banks. subject to withdrawal upon
his checks, signed by an employee of the
plaintiff under the defendants direction
and control. various sums aggregating
s64s,500" On the day the contract was
entered the complaint also alleges. there
was a balance of $66.3s2.22 due the
plaintiff from corporation money which
the defendant had acquired before De-
ccnber 81, 1919. and which. II is alleged.
he agreed to pay.
Against this total of $715.sS2.22 of
General Motors Corporation money which
came into Yer Linden's possession. the
complaint alleges that during the period
covered by his contract he returned sums
aggregating only $4,000. and that his
employment entitled him to $115,5zs.69
In cash. On May IL. the complaint
states, the plaintiff demanded the return
of the s590.352.53 difference and when
he refused to make such restoration the
corporation discharged him as general
manager Of the Olds works on May Is.
",rhe payments to the defendant In
excess of the amount so due (under the
contract) were unauthorized and unlaw-
ful and made without the knowledge or
consent or approval Of the plaintiff"

THE German Nationalists hav-

ment in a Berlin newspaper

But the conditions for employ

from court martial records and
must not be affiliated with any
party hostile to the fatherland.
They are promised employment
on large junker estates, where
they will work with comrades

Diplomats Are Surprised.

Japan's reluctance to accept the invi-
tation to discuss the Far Eastern af-
fairs has surprised diplomats. who had
expected a prompt and favorable re-
sponse from Toxic. According to the
best Judgment of skilled diplomatic ex-
perts. her course Is an error from the
japanese viewpoint and it is feared by
them will tend to awaken suspicion as
to her willingness to have the question
discussed on its merits.
The fact that preparations for the
conference are going ahead shows clear
ly q at President Harding confidently be-
leves Japan will eventually accept the
invitation whole heartcdly. But In that
event diplomats believe she will have
lost some )f the advantage that would
have been gained by more prompt action.
Press reports from Toxic indicate the
japanese belief that Downing Street has
definitely decided not TO renew the Anglo
japanese alliance. This alone II is ac-
knowledecd. would Justify the japanese
in moving cautiously, and there Ia no
disposition here TO urge haste In what
ever final decision may be reached.
There is no belief here that tho Japanese
fear Of isolation IS Justified In view of
the fact that only Just settlement Of
the problem is desired
A slight complication in the arrange
ments for the gathering has resulted
from intimations that have been received
from son1e OF the countries not included
In President Hardings invitation that
wish 20 participate. The names OF these
nations we're not disclosed. but II was
officially explained that for the present
the United States does not believe IL
advisable 10 extend the scope beyond the
principal allied Powers which took part
in the world war and China.
