War Efforts Seen in Report
OF Associated Dry Goods
~ the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1o.-The i'm
pact of war on business was shown
today in the report OF Associated
Dry Goods Corp. for the six months
ended August !.
Net profit was estimated at
$500, 900 on net sales of $33, ,119 900,
compared with $525 900 on 500 ,905.-
900 in the corresponding period of
1941.
Merchandise inventories, an ex-
PLANTATION by President Oswald w.
Knauth said, rose to $4,000, 900,
compared with $500 900, because
OF higher prices and the need for
taking early delivery to avoid trans
portation troubles, both called tenn
porary.
Last year the company set aside
$375, 900 for Federal taxes and this
year provided $3.50, 900, "a debat-
able amount"
"Our labor efficiency is distinctly
lowered" Knauth said, citing loss
Of experienced help in the draft and
to war factories.
More careful buying, he added,
had cut down on returned goods
and credit regulations had cut ac-
counts receivable to $500 900 from
5000 900 a year earlier. The av-
erage sale rose to 1912 from $3.50

Argentina to Deport
Volberg, Nozi Agent

BUENOs AIRES, Sept. 10 (P.-
The Argentine government yester-
day ordered the deportation Of
Enrich Volberg, = Nazf agent and
one Of the leaders of the so-called
German Cultural Welfare Society
Volberg, arrested several months
ago with 10 other Germans, was
accused Of trying to spread Nazi
propaganda in Argentina. He is
now interned in Calamuchita in the
land-locked Province of Cordoba,
where he has been awaiting the ver-
dict of the courts which indicted
him and other leaders for misuse of
funds collected for the welfare
society.
Volberg originally was ordered de-
ported as an undesirable on May
Is. The expulsion was suspended,
however, pending the result OF the
court action on the fraud charge.
The new order for deportation
followed a verdict that fraud was
non-existent since the contributors
of the society were aware the funds
were collected for the German
winter relief fund.
