LXVI, NO. 10,163 MEMBER ASSOCI/(TI'Z[) PRESS '] S———"" P — — e RICE TEN CENTS JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1946 TELEPHONE STRIKE THREATENS NATION GERMANS ~ STARTING PLOTTING Memorand;nfi)isclosed in Berlin-Would Restore Economic Empire BERLIN, Jan. 9.—Disclosure of a secret memorandum from a high of- ficial of Germany's second largest chemical trust to his fellow direc- tors indicated today that German in- dustralists were maneuvering behind the backs of occupation aulhoriues‘ | as the “prettiest woman on the| to rebuild the Reich’s economic em- pire. | The memorandum -— written b; Hans Verchemeyer, former chair- man of the Board of Schering, A. G., and dated Sept. 8, 1945—was found in Verchemeyer’s personal files in Berlin by representatives of the American military government's di- vision of investigation of cartels and external assets. This division, which was sent ‘to Germany by the U. S. Treasury De- partment, has now been recalled to the United States at its own request. Scheme Proposed Verchemeyer told the directors that “the occupation of Germany might last for years” and added: “We cannot wait to begin recon- struction until the occupation period has passed.” He presented a scheme for Scher- ing to take over the leadership of Germany’s chemical industry from I. G. Farben, stating: “I am of the opinion that since the I. F. Farben Industrie has lost its private char- acter and, once its plants have been broken up, they will gradually lose the lead they have-on-us-and I-can see all kinds of opportunities for us.” Line-Up in U. S. The memorandum said that after: about three years “we should try to get in touch with Du Pont and of- fer Du Pont approximately one-third of our share of capital at a good exchange and make available to them our patents, experience and discoveries for a moderate license | payment and a division of the mar- ket.” Russell A. Nixon, former deputy director of the division investigating cartels said “The memorandum clearly shows how German indus- tralists are maneuvering and biding their time, hoping to play us for | suckers. S e The Washington Merry - Go- Round By DRFW PEARSON WASHINGTON—Most controver- sial subject that has hit the Tru- man cabinet in weeks is the Moscow agreement. Various mem- bers still have divided private opinions regarding it, and the President himself nearly had a showdown with the Secretary of State when Byrnes first returned. In fact, on Thursday, when Secretary Byrnes was still en route home, some White House advisers urged the President to ask for Byrnes' resignation. Here is the inside story of what happened: Truman was waiting late Thurs- day for a final message regarding the Moscow agreement. He had re- ceived only a few communications from his Secretary of State during the entire Moscow conversations. So Truman telephoned the:com- munications room of the White House to ask whether a message from By “es had arrived. He got a reply that the message was coming in, but since it had to be decoded, the President was told that he could probably get it over the radio quicker than he could get it via the cable from his Secretary of State. At this Truman hit the ceiling. According to intimates, given Byrnes instructions not to yleld to the Russians regarding the | governing of Japan, but now he was put in the position of having a vitally important agreement an- nounced in Moscow without his seeing it in advause. Furthermore, according to press leaks, it was obvious to Truman that Byrnes Dec. 21,! final | Fashion Designers Making Women | Matchsticks MEMPHIS, Jan. 9—Harry Con- over, head of a nationally known model agency, today accused fash- | pointed toward making women look like matchsticks, thus ruining their | health and dispositions.” | “I tell my models to eat as much screen because of her inner glow,” and called Maureen O'Hara the “perfect feature girl.” THOUSANDS HOMELESS - BY FLOODS | (By The Associated Press) | Flood waters raging at the high- | est levels ever recorded in some | sections of the south have brought | death to at least 21 persons, cau: { ed multi-million dollar property damage, and left thousands home- | less. | The death toll stood at eight in | Tennessee, six in Kentucky, six in Arkansas and one in Georgia. | Torrential rains which have | pounded the area for two days con- | i tinued early today, but the weath- | er Bureau in Atlanta said the { worst was over.

No picket lines were reported set (up immediately in the t in- stallation workers. gfikxfiw n- mediate disruption of telephone ser- vice was reported. Two More Strikes Loom Elsewhere along the labor front efforts continued by government of- ficials to halt the nation-wide strikes scheduled next week in the steel and meat-packing industries, which would add more than a mil- lion workers to the ranks of idle be- cause of iabor disputes. In Chicago, Edwar L. Warren, Chief of the Federal Conciliation vice, planned to meet with offi- (lals of meat packing companies and CIO and AFL Union leaders in an attempt to halt a strike scheduled next Tuesday by 335000 employees in the nation’s meat packing plants and shops. Laber Controversies In the country’s largest single strike, where some 200,000 CIO em- I ployees of General Motors have been idle since Nov. 21 in a dispute over wages, the President’s fact-finding panel was expected to announce its findings this week. The strikes comprise about one-half the num- ber of workers idle across the coun- try because of labor controversies. The ofl wage fact-finding board finished its public hearings in Wash- lingten after Government evidence was submitted to the industry’s earnings and ability to pay a 30 per cent wage rate increase demanded by the OIO cil workers union.
