Indicted on three counts under

National Lead, and Gustav Jebsen,
its president.
Assistant Attorney General Tom
C. Clark, head of the justice depart
ment's antitrust division, said
cartels in general had permitted
Germany to build extensive good
will in Europe and South America
and to build its fifth column. He
said the division of world markets
had undermined thil nations good
neighbor policy in South America.
Clark said the cartel, designed to
restrict production as we'll as divide
markets, originated in the early
1905 and continued to the present
date insofar as domestic operations
were concerned in this country. The
agreement, he said, was to be re-
instituted in the postwar era.
He said there were no acts on the
American firms since Pearl Harbor
which constituted violations of the
trading with the enemy act,
despite the continuation of the
domestic aspects of the agreement
Titanium, ninth most abundant
element found on the earth's sur
face, is used principally as a pig
ment in paint, and is employed in
the manufacture of glass and rub
ber, diSplacing other materials such
as lithopone and white lead. At
present, 98 per cent of all titanium
compounds are used in war produc-
ton.
Named co-conspirators in the in
dictment were substantially all of

of the world, including I. G.. Far

Sale Of District

DisclOses COnsummatiOn
of S14,50O,O0O Deal

The Imperial Irrigation districts
second bond refunding plan, reputed
to constitute the nations largest
sale of irrigation district certifi-
Gates, was brought to conclusion
Monday morning when the sale OF
bonds and warrants amounting to
$14,553000 was completed.
Evan T. Hewes, president of the
districts board of directors, said he
was notified that the deal had been
consummated in it's entirety and
that money for the purchase of the
certificates had been credited to
the district by the Bank of Ameri-
ca in San Francisco after it had
been placed on deposit for the pur-
chase by the investors.
BONDS SOLD
Bonds valued at $13.315,0 900 were
sold to the Kaiser and company and
the Blyth and company, Inc. while
warrants worth $738,00O were bought
by the Kaiser and company.
District officials and bond pur-
chasers fought against time to
complete a maze of details neceS-
sary to finish the sale before the
time limit on the deal expired Mon
day. Agreement to sell the certifi-
Gates to the bidders was reached
by district directors last week after
which it was necessary to have the
documents issued and approved by
the state comptroller and arrange
for the deposit of finances by all
investors. CThe companies making
the purchase represented more than
so separate bond-buying agencies
and individuals.
HeWes spent several days in San
Francisco last week working to
wind up the deal. He left San
Francisco Saturday and arrived in
