e.
Dr. Wilkenson described efforts of the Swedish government
and his company to perfect V-1 type guided missiles and stated that they
were experiencing considerable difficulty in matters of fuel consumption
and that they had called in a Gennan scientist who was an expert on the
V-1.
This German scientist in all of his calculations showed that their
V-1 model should be actually getting five times as much range as they werA
getting in their experimenti.

Dr . Wilkenson apparently had very definite ideas with regard
to the much- discussed 2meteors~ that have been seen over their country,
but Colonel von Schinkel got into a very excited discussion in Swedish
with Dr. Wilkenson, which apparently changed his ideas about making
any statement on the subject.
