ASBURY PARK. N. j.. Aug. S.
Jacob Won Wiegand, arrested here
on a charge Of illegally wearing a
United States military uniform, has
admitted his standing tale of
exploits as a German air ace dur
ing the World War was imaginary,
E. E. Conroy, assistant FBI director
said.
The stories related in 1928 by
capt. Jack Won Wiegand" of his
purported experiences while a mem
ber of Baron Won Richtofen's flying
circus won him Nation wide atten-
tion.
Mr.. Conroy said Won Wiegand
disclaimed his account of shooting
down % Allied planes, including one
carrying Quentin Roosevelt, son of
President Theodore Roosevelt, when
FBI agents questioned him after
they look him into custody Monday
night.
The 53-year-old Won Wiegand re-
lated that his account was a public
ity hoax and he had never been in
Germany during the war, being in
termed as German crewman in
Hobokcn in 1914. Mr.. Conroy added
The uniform Won Wiegand was
accused of wearing was described by
the FBI agents as a resplendent one.

Cross Charges in
Patent Pool Quiz
Stondord Oil, Justice
Aide Eoch Say Other
MisIed Senators
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Justice Department representa-
tive and the president of Standard
Oil Co. of New Jersey each main
tained today that the other was
misleading" Senate committee in
connection with Standards pre-war
patent pooling with a German
concern.
w. S. Parish, Standards presi-
dent, said that the testimony of Pat
rick Gibson, special assistant to
the Attorney General, had ."reiter-
ated and enlarged upon the preju-
diced and misleading interpretations
of our peacetime agreements with
I. @. Farbenindustrie," German
chemical trust. ~ i
Mr.. Gibson, concluding two days
testimony before the Patents Com
mittee yesterday. countered with the
assertion that he stood on the rec
ords of the agreements. and said
that Mr.. Farish's telegram of protest
was "a repetition Of misleading
statements as to the character" of
the agreements.
Meantime, Committee Chairman
Bone indicated that Mr.. Parish and
other Standard officials would be
given an opportunity to testify later.
I'VE will give every one concerned
an opportunity to be heard" he said.
Mr.. Gibson told the committee that
"by letters of March %. 1910; April
10, 1910, and March II, 1941, be-
tween Standard and I. G., it was ar
ranged that during the war 1. G.
should, on it's developments (pre-
sumably in fields assigned to Stand
ard), file applications in France and
England in Standards name"
Senator Bone described the re-
ported arrangement as "astound-
ing" and added: IF the war does
nothing else, it ought to clean up a
system like this"
Earlier, Mr.. Gibson contended that
an international patent-swapping
plan in the oil industry had been
promoted in pre-war years under
the control and direction of the
German government" while this
Nations Government remained un-
aware of the negotiations.
He said that Standard had exerted
great pressure" to form the patent
pool, which was abolished by a re-
cent consent decree severing Stand
ards relations with I. G. Farbenin-
dustrie.

Alarming Shortage
OF Fruit Adds 10
Reich S Problems
Scarcity Loid MoinIy
To Frosts, With Trees
Damaged Severely
BY PAUL GHALI,
Forelen Correspondent of The Star an
Chicago Daily News


Chicago Daily News.
BERN, Aug. 5.-Further indica-
tions of the difficulties being expe-
rienced by the Nazi authorities in
feeding their people are contained
IN a Berlin dispatch to the Neue
Zuercher Zeitung reporting a seri-
Gus fruit shortage in the Reich
The correspondent says the short
age is particularly painful" for
the Germans at time when a sea-
Sonal abundance of fresh fruit
might have compensated somewhat
for the lack of other foodstuffs.
The fruit scarcity, the writer says,
is due not so much to the falling off
OF imports as to damage caused to
fruit trees by the severe frosts of
the last two winters.
500 Destroyed in Some Areas
According to the official figures,
published by the Nazi press, no less
than 80 per cent of the Reich's
plum, peach and cherry trees have
been completely destroyed in some
districts. During the winter of
l939-40 alone the average loss over
the whole country amounted to %
per cent of the cherry, "a per cent
of the plum, "a per cent of the april
cot, 81 per cent of the peach, 81 per
cent Of the apple and 20 per cent of
the pear trees.
Furthermore. a high percentage
of the surviving trees have been so
weakened that they have either fall
en- victim the last winter or bore
considerably less fruit. The sever
ity of last winter also wreaked
havoc in the strawberry fields where
in some districts, so per cent of the
plants were destroyed. Raspberries,
gooseberries and currants Jared bet
ter but they have not made up for
the lack of early fruits.
Direct Sales Barred.
For the first time since the out
break OF war the direct sale of fruits
and berries to the consumer has
been strictly forbidden. This meas
ure has met with little sympathy"
among MANY consumers although its
purpose is to insure adequate jam
supplies. the writer says.
Last winters frosts also caused
severe losses in fruit tree nurseries
where a scarcity of young trees is
reported. AS a result, the corre-
spondent concludes, the Nazi plan,
initiated several years ago. for in
tensifled cultivation of fruit trees
has received a serious setback.
