Thursday, February 17, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Owners Sought for War Bond Found On Chinese Youth Seattle (U.R) Harvey Har old Meier, or his wife, Marion Elinor Meier, wherever they may be, are $25 richer than they might think they are. A matured U.S. Savings Bond is in the possession of a Seattle man, and the bond is made out to the Meiers. Their address when they purchased the bond in September, 1944, was Post Office Box 277, Quantico, Va. Ward Beecher, who has the certificate, believes it might have come to him via Southeast Asia. Beecher, great-grandson of the noted minister, Henry Ward Alamos in southern Sonora, Mexico, is kept alive largely through the Mexican jumping bean. Each July and August res ident pick and package the world's supply of brincadores (jumpers). The beans "jump" be cause the larva of Carpocapsa saltitans, a gray moth, inhabits the bean and butts the inside wall with its head. The Antarctic, or brown, skua gull will dive-bomb a man from any direction, inflicting blows from front, flank, or rear. The great skua of the Nqrth Atlantic will attack only from the rear. Beecher, found the bond among the personal effects of a Chinese youth, Cher Wee-tong. .. Beecher met Cher, when both were assigned to a unit of the Office of Strategic Services in Yunan Province of China during World War II. The Chinese was interpreter, messenger, mechan ic and jack-of -all-trades for the Americans. He impressed Beech er with his intelligence, and Beecher promised to educate him after the war. , Meanwhile, Beecher went to Budapest as U. S. -vice consul there.' Wee-tong went to Bang kok, Siam, where his family had moved from China. Late in 1947, Maj. Nicoll Smith, anoth er member of the OSS unit, paid Wee-tong's passage to this coun try, and Beecher and his father brought the Chinese youth to Seattle and entered him in Edi son Technical School. But with in a month, Wee-tong was dead of Hodgkin's disease. Beecher's father found the bond among Wee-tong's few be longings and wrote to the Quan tico post office box. The letter came back marked "address un known." He then wrote to the U.S. Treasury Department, but its files could not help find the Meiers. The elder Beecher died last 3'ear and Ward Beecher came across the bond among his. fa ther's effects. The Meiers can communicate with Beecher in care of radio station KAYO, Seattle.
