F. Stallforth, principal stockholder in the latter company, is now interned at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
 Seizure of these companies resulted from investigations into the general metal situation now being made by Francis ?. Garvan, director of the bu- reau of investigation in the alien | property custodian's office.
 l u was revealed that the Beer, Son deheimer & Vogelstein companies were closely affiliated with the German | Metal Gesselschaft, which for some years has dominated the entire meta market of the world, and that theI with the American Metals comnan1 controlled most of the principal meta and smeiting companies of this conn. l try, either by complete ownership o- i stock or by representation in the di. rectorates.
