Found in German
Embassy Here
BY the Assoeioied Press

About $4,000 900 in possible Nazi
spy funds was discovered in the
German Embassy when the United
States took it over last summer,
Government officials disclosed today.
The State Department now has
custody of the sum, all in American
currency, and is preparing to turn
it over to the Alien Property Gus
todian.
These officials said the money was
found ION the premises" of the en-
bassy when the American Govern
ment assumed custody from the
Swiss. They had been watching over
Nazi diplomatic property until Ger
many's surrender.
The 100000 probably will be
vested In deposited with the
Alien Property Custodian and even
tually make its way into the Amer
lean Treasury, officials said.
These officials were unable to ex-
plain why German diplomats needed
such large sum OF American money
on hand. But one suggested that
perhaps it was used by the Nazis to
pay off their agents In the United
States or TO finance pro-Nazi activi-
ties.
