Anti-Espionage German Goes
 To East Berlin

BERLIN, Rl-Police announced Thursday Dr. Otto John, West German anti-espionage chief, went to Communist East Berlin with a friend Tuesday night and that a note left behind indicated that he would not return.
 The West Berlin police an- nouncement followed by a few hours a statement by the West German interior ministry that John was believed kidnapped by the Communists.
 John left his hotel in West Der lin Tuesday evening and went to the home of a doctor acquaintance with whom he went to the Soviet sector of the city, police said.
 Neither John nor his compan- ion, Dr. Wolfgang Wohlgemuth, has been seen since.
 West Berlin police said John had been suffering serious men, tai depression" in recent days.
 The police announced their in- vestigation of the case was con- tinuing to determine whether John was abducted or lured into East Berlin.
 Johns official title is chief of the federal office for the protec- tion of the constitution. The office is charged with guarding against treason, espionage and activities endangering the democratic state. Though it's powers are more linn ited, it handles duties much as the Federal Bureau of Investigation does in the United States.
 News of the 45-yar-old execu- tive's disappearance was met with consternation comparable to that which might arise in the United States if FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover vanished mysteriously.

Another Death in Sad Saga of the Smith Family

ANCHORAGE, R-You would think that some god of the waters had been angered by the Smith family. If so, the angered one should be appeased now.
 The sad saga of the Smiths of Tyonek, located 60 miles west of Anchorage, began at their fam fly fishing site at Three Mile Beach in the early 1930s when Mrs. Mary Smiths husband drowned in a fishing accident. His body never was recovered.
 The widow, with three sons to rear, continued to go annually to the fishing grounds, superintend ing operations during the seasons until the boys were able to take over.
 Then, three years ago, one of the three sons, Roland, drowned at the same spot his father had perished.
 Last year, another son, Berne, drowned on hunting trip on the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington.
 Gerard, 26, the last of the three, carried on. Monday, his dory, its bow stove in like it had struck a barge or scow, was found at the spot where father and brother had died. His body has not been discovered.
 Fate has not been content to take Mary Smiths husband and three sons. It has left her almost totally blind.
