Financial Interest
BS the Associate Press


NEW YORK. Dec. 22-Al Kraemer
Of Knoxville, Tenn, has signed a
contract to purchase the transpor-
tation system Of Nashville, now
owned by Tennessee Utilities Co.
Wendell l.. Willkie, in response
to an inquiry, confirmed today con-
summation of the deal at a meet
ing with Kraemer last night.
Willkie is president of Common
wealth & Southern Corp, utility
holding concern which controls
Tennessee Utilities Co. The latter
is the liquidating company to which
all remaining assets of Tennessee
Electric Power Co. were transferred
recently, following sale of its power
properties to the Tennessee Valley
Authority.
F. R. Fageol, president of Twin
Coach Co., bus manufacturers OF
Ket, Ohio, introduced Kraemer to
Willkie at the start of the present
negotiations. 1t could not be learned
here whether Fageol had financial
interest in the transaction.
Willkie said any information as to
the sum involved in the sale would
have to come from Kraemer.
Kraemer, under the terms of the
contract, agreed to form a Tennes-
see corporation to be known as
Nashville Transit Lines, to operate
the system.
The contract is subject to ap-
prevail by the City of Nashville and
the Tennessee Railways and Public
Utilities Commission.
The transportation system Of
Chattanooga, also controlled by Ten
nessee Utilities Co., was not affected
by the contract.

picture. We were prepared to aid

He added that Twin Coach mere

Efforts will be made. Fageol said,
to replace Nashville's $50 streetcars
with motorized coaches. He esti-
mated this would involve the pur-
chase of s15O00o0 worth of buses.

cerned over how to collect from Ger
many the $4,000 monthly mainte-
nance of the Admiral Graf Spec
informed crew. Argentine officials
sought today to help the seamen
find employment ashore.
Of1cials in the ministry of interior
said they hoped to complete within
a week regulations under which the
more than 900 men would be placed
in restricted zones" far from the
sea.
One officer said these zones prob
ably would be arranged so that the
men could find work in groups of
two or three. Even so, the ministry
estimated the maintenance cost at
about $4,000 a month, for which
Germany will be billed.
Some officials expressed doubt as
to how collection could be made.
British sources, watching closely
the handling of the internment, said
Great Britain would be better salts
fled if those sailors were placed I'M
der lock and key" but that no for
NAL protest was likely as long as
they were unable to engage in fur
