NO COMPLICATION

Swiss Government Has Decided Not to

Citizenship.

WASHINGTON, April 2i.-The
Swiss government has decided not to
press its claim of Swiss citizenship for
DR.. Karl Muck, formerly leader of the
Boston Symphony orchestra, now in
termed at Fort Oglethorpc, Ga, as a
dangerous German. This eliminates all
danger of complications with Switzer-
land over the case. The SWISS minister,
Hans Sulzer, after examining records
of the department of justice concern

that Muck had repeatedly claimed
German citizenship, and that conse
quently the United States was justi
fed in interning him. The precise ma
ture of the department of justice s
evidence against DR.. Muck may bc
