Every time he picks up the news- papers, he reads story after story telling how Washington has given {some manufacturer permission to produce again, Henderson recalls how he gained the reputation of being “America’s Number One Heel,” by cutting down the American civilian con- sumption to almost zero. “If I could only change all that,” | moans Henderson. “If the Pre dent would only give me a job for |one week—just one short week— in which I could give the people | back some of the things I took | Conference to last so long, has\Navy installations showing them already over drawn more than it| away from them.

CARTELS Not much has been in the papers |about it, but a significant lawsuit is now being fought out in New | York between the U. S. Govern- yment and Standard Oil of New Jer- | sey. It involves 2,000 German | patents, which the Justice Depart- | ment claims were turned over to Standard by the Nazis for safe- | | keeping during the war. The Gov- | ernment has seized them and | Standard is suing to get them back. | The patents are some of the most | valuable | including those for | thetic held back from the American pub- lic until a year and a half after the war started in Europe. | One of the most significant making syn- pieces of evidence is a letter taken secret | from the Company’s own files. It is dated Oct. 22, 1939, a little over a month after the war started, at which time Standard’s Frank Howard had gone to Holland to arrange various deals with I. G. Farben. This is the Nazi cartel with which Standard formed its patent partnership. The letter, signed by Howard, told the home office how he a ranged to take over the Nazi pat- ents and hold them, apparently for safe-keeping, even if the United States came into the war against Germany. Howard reported: “Pursuant to these arrangemen I was able to keep my appoint- ments in Holland where I had three days of discussion with the representativs of the I. G. They delivered to me assignments of some 2,000 foreign patents and we did our best to work out complete in the entire war effort, | rubber, which Standard Oil | |plans for a modus vivendi which {would operate through the term of | the war, whether the United States came in or not.” t If this document is not suffic-| iently convincing, however, the Justice Department has another ace up its sleeve. Theé U. S. Army | has captured three high-ranking ’Uffl(luls of I. G. Farben in Ger- many. They are: President Her-| {mann Schmitz and Managers Max | {Ilgner and Dr. August von Knie- rim. Their testimony, if given, may \be very interesting. | NOTE—Not only are many in- dustrialists watching the Standard |Oil suit to see whether they get; the I. G. Farben patents back, but, ;. . . according to Attorney General | Biddle, several companies are al- ready negotiating with German in- | dustrialists to work out new cartel |deals after the war.
