When U.S. soldiers caught up with him last week in an attic hideout at Nissmitz, he chose to die by taking poison in the best Wagnerian manner-but in a hurry and in a nightshirt.

...still has an ace in the hole. It can blacklist all U.S. companies with Swedish affiliations, which have some $125,000,000-worth of assets in this country. This would permit the U.S. to cut off transfer of dividends and earnings to Sweden. At week's end, Leo Crowley's FEA was cautiously studying such a move.
