NEW YORK, Jan. 25

John Drost, a farm hand, who shot his father dead, was arrested at Northben, Washington State. He said: ''I shot Enn because I am Americanized. If we had still lived in Holland I would not have done it, but here is the greatest country on earth, and no jury will convict me when I tell them the motive." A daughter in attempting to save her father was badly wounded.
