y. When Congress gets tired Of in
.yestigating the means by which
Drew Pearson and Congressman
Coffee got their hands on Vivien
Kellems' love letters (to her Nazi
boy friend in Argentina), they
might get around to investigating
whether Miss Kellems has violated
the trading with the Enemy In War
Time Act. If they do, here Is this
reporters latest dossier on Count
Frederick Karl vonsedlitz, the Kel-
lens correspondent:
After the letters were exposed the
Count moved from his palatial
apartment on Gale Alvear to a
cheap rooming house on Avenida
'O'Higgins in Buenos Aires--a place
filled with Jewish refugees. He pays
$40 a month for his room, but he
isn't there all the time since he
goes off on fishing trips (off the
coast) that last from two to seven
days When In town, he is Wis
tied in his room every day land
sometimes twice a day. by a very
good looking young Nazi wife, who
carries an official-look leather
portfolio On occasions he Is
also visited by another Nazi frau,
but this one Is nothing for Vivien
to worry about. She's a grandma.
he Count cultivates anti-Nazi cir
cles and tries to pose as a refugee
himself. This fools no one; he Is
on the official black lists Of the
United States, Russia and England.
He is No. 1760 on the British list.
He Is still the Argentine repre-
sentative of the Hermann Goering
Steel Trust. He has checking ac-
counts in three banks His
brother was the Nazi chief Of staff
at Stalingrad Does Congress
think trading with Won Sedlitz could
bet rading with the enemy?
After Governor Dewey recently

stat of letter written to a news
paper reader by one Of the Gov
ernors executive aides. The Sec
ond paragraph states: "The out
landish charge made by Mr.. Smith
was a despicable lie" e. The letter
also revealed that Dewey's mother
never even heard Of the We, The

supposed to be a member, according
to Dewey's enemies.

DistilIeries Granted
January Holiday

Chairman ]. A. Krug Of the War
Production Board announced today
that the Nations distilleries will be
permitted to produce beverage liquor
during January.
The new liquor holiday" Mr..
Krug said, was made possible by a
reduction In requirements for al
cohol in synthetic rubber in the
final months Of this year. He also
indicated that decreased pressure of
war work on beverage plants would
make possible other holidays" in
1945.
The action applies only to those
plants which formerly made bev-
erage spirits from grain. WPB last
August granted those distilleries
their first opportunity to make bev-
erage alcohol since the industry
was converted to war work in 1912
During August, distillers produced
about 81 100000 gallons of l90-proof
beverage spirits, equivalent to more
than 108 8,000, 900 gallons of whiskies
and gins.
Producers may be permitted to
use corn during the January holi-
day, ofncials indicated. in view OF
the record crop this year. They
were not permitted to use corn,
principal ingredient OF bourbon
whisky, in August.
Industry sources estimated that
with the new holiday" In January,
retail stocks Of alcoholic beverages
will be restored near normal.
