The multi-millionaire Swedish financial operator Axel Wenner- Gren was put on the State Depart- ment’s war blacklist today just as he was considering formation of a $100,000,000 syndicate in Mexico. | The fabulous Swede, who numbers | Greta Garbo and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor among his friends, appeared under the head- ings .Mexico and Peru in an addi- tion of 1,800 individuals and firms to the blacklist. The list is made up of those the State Department deems “to be acting for the benefit” of the enemy or those to whom the export of various goods might be detrimental to American defense, An associate of Wenner-Gren's said in Mexico that the industrialist was “by no stretch ‘of the imagina- tion an Axis sympathizer” and that the blacklisting was “a terrible mis- take.” Wenner-Gren was said to be | in Vera Cruz to meet his wife on her return from the Bahamas, where | he has a mansion, Shangri-La. Windsors Were to Be Guests. His activities in Mexico came to | light last November 28 when Gen. Maximino Avila Camacho, com- munications minister, disclosed that Wenner-Gren was looking into the | possibilities of a syndicate to invest AXEL WENNER-GREN. —A. P. Wirephoto. more than $100,000,000 in that | country. Avila Camucho said then that the | Duke and Dichess of Windsor were to visit Me:ico as Wenner-Gren's guests some :ime in January, travel- ing aboard 'he Swedish industrial- ist’s yacht, t1e Southern Cross. The Windsors hpd used the Southern | Cross once' before for crossing ! ‘Nassau to Miami, Fla, for s dental operation for the Duchess. The richly-appointed 1851-ton vessel was among ships which res- cued survivors of the British steam- er Athenia, torpedoed in the North Atlantic September 3, 1939, the day the British-German war began. Since then it has appeared at va- rious ports in the Western Hemi- sphere. Wenner-Gren and his wife sailed on the Southern Cross last July to Peru, where he had spon- sored an archaeological expedition. Donated Aeronautical Laboratory For a time during the military stalemate before the battle of France, Wenner-Gren's name crop- ped up in rumors of peace negotia- tions, but nothing came of the re- ports. In 1941 Wenner-Gren donated funds for the construction of elaborate, $155,000 Wenner-Gren Aeronautical Research Laboratory at the University of Kentucky. Since its completion, the laboratory at Lexington, Ky., has been used for the the training of United States Army engineers from Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. In its new blacklist the State De- partment for the first time names individuals and firms outside the Western Hemisphere. Individuals and firms in Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey are included.
