j. s. SWISS CLAIM
UPHELD IN COURT
Effort to Regain Millions
Paid in Stock Deal Is
Valid, Judges Rule.

The Court of Appeals today affirmed
the District Court in holding that the
United States Government was de-
frauded in a stock transaction with
the Societe Suise pour Valeurs de
Metaux Ga Swiss Corporation) and is
entitled to recover approximately
sI4,00o00
The sum represents s7000,000 paid
BY the Government for corpora ton
stock in 1921, plus interest at the rate
Of s per cent
The Swiss corporation brought suit
In 1880 for S643,595 interest on an
alien property custodian claim for
s7.oo0.0o0 which had been allowed and
paid, The Government counter claimed
the s7000.000 on the ground the origi-
nal claim was fraudulent and that its
allowance had been secured in joint
conspiracy of Thomas W. Miller, for
mer alien property custodian. and
Harry NJ Daughertv. former Attorney
General.
Miller. who had recommended the
allowance of the plaintiffs original
claim in 1921. and Daugherty. who
ordered the allowance of the claim.
were indicted as a result of the trans
action and were tried in New York
in 1927. Miller was convicted. but
the jury disagreed as to Daugherty
and the indictment against him was
dismissed.
Says Fraud Is Shown
Justice Daniel w. ODonognue, be-
lore whom the case was tried in
February. 1887, held, at the time he
decided in favor Of the Government,
that fraud has been shown in the
claim that the paintiff made before
the alien property custodian and that
the fraud resulted in the Government
turning over the sum of about $7,000,-
600 to the plaintiff, that the United
States Government is entitled to re-
cover Of the plaintiff the sum of ap-
proximstelv s7,Ooo.ooo with interest
Of per cent"
The higher courts opinion pointed
out that the Swiss corporation suit de-
clared the S643. .595 it sought to recover
represented accrued interest on money
received by the custodian from the sale
Of shares Of stock of American Metal
Co.. taken over by him during the
World War
History of the Case
Two German corporations. Metallge-
sellschaft and Metalbank. held 49 per
cent of the capital stock OF the metal
company, a New York corporation, at
the outbreak of the war The Govern
ment insisted the Swiss corporation
never owned this stock. The shares
were seized pursuant to the Trading
With the Enemy Act and were sub
sequentlv sold BY the custodian.
In 1921 the custodian caused to be
paid to the Swiss corporation in
money ard Government bonds the
sum of s6o67987. representing the
aggregate principal amount of the sale
Of the shares. At the time of the pay
ment there had been no ALLEGATION of
interest accrued during the period of
seizure, but subsequently the custodian
set aside under trust S643 .595, which
he declined to pay to the corporation
because Of the indictment of the two
former officials
In the counterclaim The Government
denied anything was due the Swiss
corporation and sought restitution Of
the amount previously paid on the
ground that the claim was fraudulent
and the money and bonds procured
thereby unlawfully obtained
Justice ODonoghue dismissed the
corporation suit, and decreed in favor
Of the United States.

VIRGINIA PEACH
CROPS LARGER
Number Of Apple Trees Are
on the Decrease, Survey
Reveals.
BY the Associated Press.

pS tiit ASSoCidleC fFeSS.
RICHMOND, Va. July 25.-The
peak in commercial production of
apples In Virginia may have passed
because of decrease in the number
of trees. but peach production should
increase considerably during the next
five years. agricultural statistcians
found in a fruit survey of the State.
The report was made by Henry M
Taylor. agricultural statisician, and
Arthur C. Hackendorf, junior stat
istician
Bulk shipments by truck have
changed radically the method of pack
ING and shipping both apples and
peaches. the survey showed. with some
shift in the location of new orchards.
Apple ByProducts.
Other important findings include
figures showing that Is or 20 per cent
of the commercial apple crop goes into
by-products, such as canning, vinegar
and cider, and that cold storage
capacity has increased greatly.
The general condition of the COM
mercial apple orchard has improved
during the past few years" the stat
istician concluded but many orchards,
particularly those on thin soil and
badly located for protection against
frost, were in poor condition and 1t
is probable that many of these
orchards will be abandoned during
the next five years.
Another important change in the
apple industry in recent years has
been the development of large pack
ing sheds, owned by individuals or by
groups of growers. This trend will
probably continue, as present market
demands require careful grading and
the pure food laws make it necessary
to remove excess spray. so that the
small packing plants can no longer
perform this work efficiently or eco
nomically."
Increase in Peach Orchards.
AS for peaches, the 1925 survey
showed 61O orchards with 595.435
trees. which by the 1887 canvass had
jumped to 934 orchards with l,174,488
trees.
In the whole Nation the number of
peach trees probably reached a low
point in 1885. Paintings since have
increased, with prospects of increased
production in the next five years.
AT this time" the bulletin said,
when the outlook for products, and
prices for several years is favorable
there is danger of overexpansion."

On Hitler
Excites
BY EARL GOODWIN

Here's the last minute, feed-boX
information from this Govern
ment on the Hitler possibilities:
This Government learns that
Europe is so excited about Hitlers
occupation of Austria because he
has gone just beyond the, limit
One more move and the trouble
starts!
Hitler, having tests and feasts
and arrays of good fellowship
with Mussolini, led the Italian
dictator to believe Austria would
remain a buffer state. At the
moment Hitler stepped across the
northern boundary Of Austria he
had 4 tremendous array Of troops
on the southern boundary
which is Italy's frontier. Mussolini
woke UP to find his buffer state
gone and the Nazi troops armd
to the teeth right at the italian
front door.
Mussolini gulped and said 20. k"
Information here is that he hid
the tears beneath his smiles; and
there is every reason to believe
Mussolini is today framing up
some way to add an italian flavor
to the Franco English anti-Hitler
policies.
Gossip In high circles is that
Hitler has now double crossed
everybody in Europe, nd he may
have the whole European combina
ton against him the next time he
tries a coup. Most talked Of
possibility is the scheme to make
an autonomous state out of thu
3,500,000 Germans living in tn
point Of Czechoslovakia whicl
angles into German territory.
The whole secret service o
Europe Is watching that game
They are watching also tn
plebiscite in Austria. Officials
here say the ballot will have onl
word Hitler" Vote Nazi o.
don't come out Of the booth!
