GERMAN CONTROL IF METAL INDUSTRY IN
 AMERICA WIPED 0UT
Republican A. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON, July 22-German control of the metal industry in Amer ica has been wiped out by Alien Prop erty Custodian Palmer in the seizure of several of the largest metal con- cerns in the United States with rami- fications in South America, Mexico and Canada.
 MT. Palmer announced today that he had taken over the business of l.. Nogelstein and company, Inc, of New York city, with assets of more than S9,000,000, and Beer. Sondheimer S Co.,, Inc, also of New York city. with as- sets of upwards of $5,000,000.
 Principal Stockhoder Interned
 Tn addition the custodian has seized the enemy owned interest in the American Metals company, controlling some sixteen companies in this coun- try and South America, and Stallforth X Co.,, of New York, dealers in silver bullion, with capitalization of 1000, 000 F. Stallforth, principal stockholder in the latter company, is interned at Fort Oglethorpe. Ga.
 It was revealed that the Beer, Sond- heimer and Vogelstein companies for some years have dominated the metal market of the world, and that they with the American Metals company controlled most of the principal metal and smelting companies of this coun- try, either by complete ownership of stock or by representation in the di- rectorates.
 Ownership ThinIy Disguised
 Mir. Palmer's announcement said that the Vogelstein and Beer, Sond- heimer companies, had endeavored to Cover up the German ownership of their assets by an Americanizing pro- cess undertaken after the war began, but that their ownership was only "thinly disguised"
 by Mir. Garvan, director of the bureau of investigation in the office of the alien property custodian, to have sup piled Germany with vast quantities of copper. zinc and other necessary war materials after the war began and theil activity in this respect did not cease until after the United States entered the war.
 The business of Beer Sondheime1 and company was founded in Amer ica by the German firm of the same name, but the American branch was incorporated in August. 1915, by Bennc Elkan and Otto Frohnknecht, who hat operated the branch for the German firm and who did not make application for naturalization papers until early ir last year.
 Unearth Wireless Messages
 Elkan and Frohnknecht claimed they had bought out the interests of tho German firm but Mir. Garvan unearth- ed wireless messages passing betWeeT the American branch and the German company indicating that the latter haC planned the incorporation of the firn

rather delicate issue at the outset as it
