"Oriental' Turns
Out To Be Native
White of America
:' SAN FRANCISCO, July 0 (UP)
'ilic strange case of Mah Jung
Don, 25, a bus boy who thought
he was Chinese but discovered
he is a white American, may be
settled Monday.
The apparently invol untary
masquerade - was revealed when
the man known to San Francis
co's Chinatown as Johnny Jung
was arraigned on charges of steal
ing gold coins land watches.
.- A routine check of Jung's im
migration Record unearthed his
birth certificate. It showed he
was born in Sacramento, Calif.:
that his father's name was Leroy
Forrest Allison' and his mother's
Lulu Dougherty,
When he was a year-old Jung
was adopted by a Chinose couple,
taken to Hong Kong and reared
as an Oriental. His foster pai
ents still live there. Johnny
Jung's English is meager, but he
managed to explain that, "I catch
wife China-sido before come
United States." His wife is Wong
Gon Jung and she also lives in
Hong Kong. They have no children'.-
Judge Edward Murphy post
poned the hearing until Monday,
when an interpreter can be in
court. ...
Immigration records showed
Jung came to the United States
in 1041 aboard the President Coo
lidgc. He said his father bought
him passage. He has a Chinese
"sister" in -Hong Kong and a
Chinese "brother" in San Diego.
Jung's features are not Orient
al, but his skin is somewhat dark,
helping the illusion.
Both Sides Claim
Victory in Heavy
Ballot in Britain
. LONDON, July 6 (UP) Both
Fides claimed victory today in
Britain's recall-breaking general
election on wnich Prime Minis
ter Churchill's political fate hung,
but nobody can say for sure what
happened until the votes . are
counted July 2G.
Close to 26,500,000, votes were
cast' in a generally quiet day,
ssome observers estimated the
figure is ,500,000 more votes than
in any previous election.
The morning papers let their
political consciences dictate their
stores on Che election. The lab
orite Daily Herald predicted the
conservatives will lose "at least
100 seats." If they did, Chur
chill's government would be out.
Lord BedVerbrook's conserva
tive Daily Express, on the other
hand, said the government would
gain a 660 to 90 per ce'nt major
ity. It claimed socialist and lib
eral leaders were conceding defeat.
