Mexico Turns Down
Exfradition Of Now
To Nationalist China
By HE Associosod Pross

A Mexican court yesterday re-
fused to extradite Gen. p. T.
Now to Nationalist China.
Announcement Of the courts
action was made in Washington
by Attorney william A.. Roberts,
who had represented Gen. Now
In litigation in which the Ma
tionalist Government had sought
to recover about $27 million in
government funds. at one time
controlled by the officer.
During the legal action, Gen.
Now. went to Mexico. The Chi
nese Government had sought to
extradite him for trial on
charges Of embezzling IS million
in government funds.
Judge Antonio Fernandez
Vera's decision said the evidence
in the case failed to prove that
Gen. Now took the money but
instead showed him to be a vic
tim of political persecution"
An appeal is almost certain.
IntrigueS Blamed.
Gen. Nov, former purchasing
agent for the National Chinese
Army, recently told the federal
court here he was 1.-The victim of
the intrigues Of a group headed
by Chang Kai-shek." Today's
decision does not spell immedi-
ate freedom for Gen. Now. He
has been held in a penitentiary
here since his arrest in Cuerna-
Vaca last summer.
The ruling must be sent to
the foreign ministry, which in
turn wiz make recommendations
to President Adolfo Ruiz Corti-
mes, with whom the final deci-
sion lies.
Suit Filed in Washington.
Gen. Now was in charge Of
buying equipment and materiel
in the United States until May,
. 1851. when his office was liqui-
dated. The Nationalist Chinese
government later fled suit in
Washington claiming he failed
to make q full accounting Of
funds and refused to hand over
his office records.
Chinese officials declared the
general entered Mexico illegally
in December, 1851. and occupied
a luxurious villa in the Pacific
Coast resort of Cuernavaca. He
was arrested while on a shopping
tour with a former New York and
Chicago model. Marianne Agnes

fed as his secretary.
Last year the U. S. District
Court for the District Of Column

in their possession.
Court UphOIds Ruling. ,
The ruling was upheld by the
U. S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia.
Mr.. Roberts and Warren
Woods have asked the Supreme
Court to review the lower courts
actions.
In brief filed with the high
court the attorneys argued that
Federal courts here lacked juris-

Family Asks Jurors
10 Seek CIemency for
Doomed Rosenberus
BY The Assoeiossd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-JuliuS
Rosenberg's sister said tonight
the family had sent letters to all
IL jurors in the atom spy case
asking them to appeal to the
President for mercy for Rosen-
berg and his wife, Ethel.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
have been sentenced to die for
passing atomic secrets to Rus
STA.
President Eisenhower has
turned down their appeal for
clemency.
Rebuffed by Juror.
Their attorney disclosed sew
eral days ago that Rosenberg's
sister, Mrs. Ethel Goldberg. had
appealed to one of the jurors
who convicted the RoSenbergS
but had been rebuffed.
The attorney, Emanuel Bloch,
said there was nothing illegal or
improper in such an appeal, since
the jury had nothing to do with
the death sentence.
Mrs. Goldberg said tonight she
had sent identical letters to all
IL members Of the jury. had not
received any replies and did not
expect any.
Expects No Information.
She said she imagined If any
of the jurors decided to make a
plea for clemency to the Presi-
dent, the juror would do so ION
his own" and she would not be
informed of it. -
The letter was signed by
RoSenberg's mother. Sophie, his
brother, Dave, Mrs. Goldberg and
another sister, Mrs. Lena Cohen.

Women S Strongest
Bowling League
May Quit Circuit
By Rod Thomas

How to make the Capital
Women's Major Bowling League
bigger and better will occupy its
members in a meeting Sunday
at 8 pm. at the Bladensburg
Lanes.
Bring all your ideas and all
your complaints" President Ruth
McClintic has urged the mem
berS, at the same time inviting
all other bowlers who might be
interested in joining the areas
strongest organization of women
duckpin shooters. A number Of
bowlers in the District Women's
Minor League appear ready for
the faster company.
For want Of sponsors. the
Capital Major shrank from eight
teams last season to six.
One-AlIey Plan Advanced.
But the league will consider a
matter Sunday that may be
more important than expansion,
in the minds Of many women.
This has to do with bowling on
a circuit. Mrs. McClintic asks
that the women be prepared to
give their views on bowling all
matches at one plant.
Some are known to be weary
of travelling throughout the area
to get to matches. Some OBJ
ject to the late starting times
Of some of the contests. The
league might suffer in prestige
by abandoning the circuit, but
the advantages of concentrating
activity at one establishment
are important.
When Toni Rowe quit the
league after winning its individ-
ual championship last season
she observed: I'm spending too
much time in taxicabS."
Scores are Improved.
incidentally, if Miss Rowe had
remained in the league she would
have found it tough to hang
onto the title. At this writing,
Frances Wilson of the Sunbeam
team is in front with an average
of 1888 for So games and
Marion Hamilton of Chevy
Chase is pushing her with 49,
81 for 66. Both are a solid point
ahead of the average which won
the championship for Miss Rowe
plus the areas No. ranking.
Jim Dietsch of Baltimore will
attempt to become the first
bowler ever to win the Claren-
don Open a second time when
the 18th annual event is held
Sunday from / pm. to closing
time.
