C. -- For 98 fears New Yorkers filed past the musty little bookshop of B. Westermann in midtown Manhattan, stopping perhaps to browse over ita sidewalk bookstalls or to buy a first edition. Now it is closed, and the treasury has told why, says the Associated Press. For 15 yeara--since 1926--it was one of Germany's most valuable sources of United States military information, telling^he Germans what kind of guns this country was making, how fast American planes would fly, how big a hole an American bomb could make in the Wil helmstrasse. Uaeever Nasi Ce*aeetie*s. These activities came to light in June, 1941, when the treasury Stoppe4 out-of-theHDttoatry mail inf of ^boolca and other literature Westermann's aaktd special permission to continue mailings. The treasury did some investigating and this was the story it unraveled: Ernest Eisele, president of the company, was a native German and a naturalized American citizen as were three of the directors. The treasury found, too, that since 1926 the firm had lost $25,000 annually but that Eisele had received from German stockholders bonuses totaling $30,000. It waft in 1926 also, he told the treasury, that he had joined the firm. He had been approached b> a man he did not identify and asked if he would undertake the reorganization of Westermann's. which was being taken over by the Scherl Publishing company of Gar-, many. ^ Sends Aviation Magaslne. Traffreasury uncovered the fact that the Scherl company was controled by Alfred Hugenberg, who had been general manager of the Krupp plants during World War 1 and was Hitler's first minister of economics and agriculture. Later Joseph Goebbela' propagahda agency acquired the Scherl interests. 1 Westermann's task, the treasury said, was to send such periodicals as the Aero Digest, other aviation magazines, the Coast Artillery Journal, radio craft magazines, and, in general, anything pertaining to mechanics or the military. Disposition of the Germans Involved was not dlsciosed by the treasury, which said their cases had been turned over to federal enforcement authorities for action. A department of justice spokesman said Eisele and the company had been indicted in the Diatrict of Columbia last January tor failure to regiater as alien agenta.
