MAGNESIUM CASE
STARTED BY U. s,
Dow Chemical Company and
Officers Among Those In
dicted by Government

NEW YORK, Jan. 30 R-A
conspiracy to restrict and stifle
domestic production of magnesi.
um, resulting in delay and i'm.
pediment of the defense program,
was charged today against com.
bination of American and German
firms.
A federal grand jury which re-
turned the indictments against six
corporations and nine of their Of
ficers said it's purpose was "to
destroy unlawful foreign restric-
tions on domestic production Of
magnesium for defense purposes"
The justice department said as
result of the alleged conspiracy
there were inadequate facilities for
the production of Magnesium; that
the development and use of mag.
nesium and its products in the
manufa cture Of airplanes and 9TH
er products had ben restricted
that there was a serious shortage
of foundry facilities for the fab
rication of magnesium products;
that the price Of magnesium ir
the United States had been main
tanned at artificially and unreason
ably high levels and that mag
nesium exported was sold at prices
lower than to domestic users.
The departments statement sale
that the result has been that the
production of aircraft and othel
defense material in which the use
of magnesium is necessary has
been seriously impeded and de
layed :"
Magnesium was described a:
particularly valuable for use il
place of aluminium in airplane con
struction, capable of giving a plane
as much strength as aluminium
with one-third less weight.
Named in the indictments were
the Aluminium Company of Ameri
ca, the Dow Chemical company
the American Magnesium corpo
ration, the Magnesium Develop
ment company, the General Ami
line and Film company and the !
G. Farbenindustrie (commonl
known as the German Dye Trust)

900 Nazi party men and govern
ment officials celebrating the
eighth anniversary of Hitler's rise
to power, roared with applause.
Wearing the field gray tunic
which he wore on the day war
broke out and pledged not to dis
card save in death or victory,
Hitler appeared in amiable mood
and in the best of health.
He declared that Britain was
finished. He ridiculed suggestions
that Italy might be falling away
from Germany, and asserted that
neither by blockade nor by any
other possibility "even remotely
thinkable" could Germany vic
tory be denied.
"These gentlemen" he said chal-
lengingly of the British, may rest
convinced:
"Our bill is a total bill and it
will be paid at the end of the war

sertions:

hate the social resurgence of this
