sonate that something should be done to
glispvl the common belief" that the Amer
rn people are anti-British. anti-Russian
ard anii-Jewish. Moreover, he felt that
sume answer should be made to the asser-
t.on that American statesmen always lose
o. tho superior cleverness OF foreigners in
Say International conference.
Mr. Fulbrirht said that certain inter-
csts and newspapers are continuously pro-
melting these myths" and narrow preju-
diees. The early dissemination of such
stories. he asserted, was largely response

We're eFEoReous,

WASGIGNGTON-Senators heard. from a military government of- ficial this week that Germany "de- veloped the deadliest poison gas in the world by testing it on con centration camp inmates.
 The testimony came from Col. Bernard Bernstein, director of the division of cartels and external assets, U. S. military government in Germany. He submitted a state ment to a Senate military commit tee headed by Senator Kilgore (D- w. Val.
 Bernstein said that many plants and all stocks of uoison gas were destroyed by order of the German government before occupation by the Russians. He continued:
 But at least one of the terrible secrets which the Germans hoped to save for the next war was un- covered.
 "Our investigation has disclosed that an I. G. Farben official at Wuppertal- -Elberfeld developed the deadliest poison gas in the world. This gas, unknown to the military authorities of the Allied nations, could have penetrated any gas mask in existence.

TO My Friends in the 0.P.A..
 Once more I want to congratu- late the very efficient members of he staff of the Office of Price Administration on the excellent job you have been doing. I would like also to urge you to stick to your task until it is completed
 During the months immediately following V-J Day the responsibil- ities- of many Government war time agencies have been coming 10 an end The Office of Defense Transportation. the Petroleum Ad- ministration for War, the War Labor Board, and the War Man power Commission will have com pleted their work by January first. The War Production Board will soon be disbanded and it's remaining functions merged with the Office of War Mobilization and RecOnver- sion.
 But the work of the Office of Price Administration must continue at top speed until the danger of imitation is past. And that day, as all thoughtful people must realize. is still in the future.
 Many of you have been working on this difficult task of imitation control since the early days of the war and may feel that you are en- titled to step aside and let someone else take over your responsibilities Unfortunately however, there is no second team'.. You are the only group who have first hand eXper- fence in the difficult techniques of price and rent control The country is counting on you to stick to your post
 Let me again thank you for all that you have done in the past, and reiterate my confidence in your ability to handle the many prob lems which are certain to come your way in the future"
