j. S. LOSSES Barred
IN KREUGER PROBE
Americans Badly Trimmed
by Telephone and Fake
Bond Deals.
BY Radio to The Star.

BY Radio to The Star.
STOCKHOLM, April 26.-How ter
rifically badly Americans were trimmed
by the late Ivar Kreuger, Swedish
match king, is indicated here by the
story of how the International Matcn
Corporation surrendered $5O, ,O00, ,O0o
worth of German 6 per cent bonds in
return for Kreuger's mere promise 10
deliver a number Of italian treasury
certificates"
Further details of this story, which
was first revealed in these dispatches
last Wednesday, were given to foreign
correspondents here last night by Prof.
Martin Fehr, a member of the Swedish
investigating commission.
Badly in need of cash, according TO
Prof. Fehr, Kreuger last Winter ap-
preached the Swedish Riksbank. There
re was told that he might have an
advance If as collateral he would de-
posit shares of the Boliden gold mine,
which Kreuger & Toll, parent organi-
Zaticn in the Kreuger combine, had
previously bought personally from
Kreuger.
Decided on Substitution.
T In order to secure these Boliden
shares. which we're deposited with the
Skand n iSka Kreditsk bolaget
Scandinavian Credit Bank, Kreuger
decided to substitute for them German
bonds owned by International Match.
In order to get the German bonds he
promised to give International Match
f7,O00,000 worth Of italian treasury
certifcates-which are now known TO
be forgeries. Subsequently he got the
German bonds, substituted them for
the Boliden shares and deposited the
Boliden shares with the Riksbank, re-
ceiying a personal cash advance of 40,-
100000 crowns.
A tragic-conic detail is that Inter-
national Match never even got the fake
Italian certificates.
Prof. Fehr also officially confirmed
the story, first published in these col
umns, to the effect that International
Telephone & Telegraph Co. was at
tempting to secure an agreement re-
garding the majority stock in the L.
M. Ericsson Telephone Co. (another
Kreuger afflliate), which Kreuger
pledged in return for an $1l 100000
advance from the Americans.

coed with modernization, repair or re-
modelling work, but it does not have the
same stimulus for the large holder of
existing properties, erected when build
ing costs were much higher.
Few New Apartments.
1t is not strange. therefore. to find
that during the past year, there was
almost an absence Of apartment house
construction, although there was q
fairly good volume of private home
building
Had it not been for the Government
economy program, which brought on q
reduction In the income of thousands of
Government employees residing here
and even more talk about pay cuts to
balance the Federal budget, Undoubtedly
there would have been a greater volume
of home construction and a more active
market for dwellings during the year.
Increased vacancies in apartment
houses, resulting from reduced incomes
and from unemployment, placed an OBJ
v1ous structure on new apartment house
construction. The estimated cost of
construction of small apartments and
flats for the year totals only s652, 900.
Apartment house construction had a
cost volume of approximately $4,000
600 in 1925. s9512,000 in 1927. $780,
600 in 1923, S96o0.0O0 in 1929; s6,10O.-
600 in 1890 and s10,482, 400 in 1881.
How local building operations pro-
.gressed during the past year Is shown
in the following table of figures, all of
which are the official reports of the
District building inspector, except the
estimate for December.

HOME CONSTRUCTION
IN ARLINGTON GAINS
More Single-Family Dwellings
Built in Thickly Populated
Sections Than in 1881.

A partial survey Of the thickly popu-
lated Arlington County, Va, section
discloses that despite the prevailing
economic conditions there has been an
increase in the number Of single family
dwellings erected, it is reported by John
F. Webster, secretary of the Alexandria
Arlington Fairfax Real Estate Board.
The sections covered by the survey
included the subdivisions Of Lyon VIII
lage, Lyon Park, Ashton Heights, Coun-
try Club Hills and Country Club Grove.
In Lyon Park and Lyon Village 81
homes were erected and sold in 1882
as against 48 in 1881, representing a
total valuation Of S489, ,702. In the sub
division of Ashton Heights Is homes
were erected, having a valuation of ap-
proximately $l75,000. In the country
club sections, Country Club Hills and
Country Club Grove, IA new units were
added, representing market value Of
approximately $150,000.
Among other projects were the erec-
tion Of three apartment houses and
farmers market in the Clarendon busi-
ness district.
