which had been set for Wednesday
among the German workmen in various
trades in the American area of occupa-
tion failed to materialize and up to a
late hour tonight no trouble had been
reported from any place in the area.
When the American intelligence Office
heard Of threatened strike by the
taiors, the Americans let it be known
among the Germans in the occupied
zone that there were no places for un-
employed men and that after April 1
all men not willing to work would be
sent to unoccupicd Germany. The re-
suit yas a scramble among the talors

Captain Edwin c. WeIagerber's velu-

and his patriotism were couched for
by his commanding officer and several

Major Oliver B. Zimmerman, who
was Weisgerber's immediate superior
In the engineering depot at Washing

captain was "distinctly capable" and
that his work had been completely
satisfactory" Major Zimmerman said
he had twice recommended Weis-
gerber for promotion, and that the
recommendations had been approved
By his own immediate superior.
Says Fuel Was Success
Major Zimmerman went into detail
regarding Wesgerber's experiments
With fuel inventions. He said the
Liberty fuel produced by Weisgerber
had successfully operated motor
trucks, motorcycles and hydro-aero-
planes, and had been approved by the
United States Bureau of Standards.
This Liberty fuel was not the synthetic

tried to have adopted by the British
government, and which, 1t is alleged,

which it was used.

that the permission was revoked by
