be the most efficient way to handle
things. The main thing, they einpha-
sized, was to let the restart production
quickly After all, thousands Of Farben
workers in Frankfurt had to work or
they couldn't eat.
The correspondent asked how they
sized up their postwar prospects. Good,
very good indeed, they told him. There
was great future in plastics The world
would have tremendous markets ready
to absorb Farben plastic products. Take
India, for instance That would be a
good market.
OF course, they pointed out, they were
assuming that the Americans and Eng
lish we're really going to restore order
and justice to Germany, as had been
promised. And the one who acted most
often as spokesman said that the Nazis
had never dictated to them in policy
matters 1t was always they who had
told the Nazis what was wanted and
what to do
There was really much to be thankful
for, much to build for in the future, if
only there was a sensible cooperative

methods and thought he knew Ameri-

many German plants were planted un-

Two small l. G. Farben plants in the
Frankfurt area were damaged but not
put out OF operation TWO Of the COM
pany's plants at Ludwigshafen and
Leuna were substantially ruined. The
Ford works at Cologne suffered little
serious damage.
But two Tremendous I. G. Farben plants
in the Frankfurt area-with hundreds of
buildings, sheds and big yards-escaped
injury almost entirely. The central Of
fices of the corporation, a mile from
the center of Frankfurt were almost
untouched, despite widespread destruc-
ton of the city. Here was the major
nerve center for the I. G. Farben inter-
national industrial empire-with its car
tel links to Imperial Chemicals in Eng
land, dupont and Standard Oil in the
u S, and other affiliates and subsidi-
aries in Latin America and elsewhere.
The director left in charge when the
Americans entered the town complained
bitterly about foreign slave workers
trespassing in these magnificent offices.
His underling refused to open doors
until Yank soldiers threatened to blow
off the locks refused to open safes until
American dynamite was brought in. Even
in Nazis defeat, Farben influence was
strong in Frankfurt What Farben di-
rectors wanted was done easily, what
they didn't want done the American
military men had trouble getting done.
But the payoff is the true story of
card game in the comfortable bomb
proof basement of the l. G. FaT'ben
office building The players were four
directors of Farben Three Of them
were fluent in English and in their ideas
of the shape of things to come for them.
The future didn't look gloomy to them,
they told a correspondent who found
them there. Whatever was ahead, the
products of the Far'ben factories would
be needed. And those factories were
ready to start producing again. Yes,
sir. They still had the 759o who had
been foreign forced laborers.
All that was necessary to get Farben
chimneys smoking merrily again was
some coal, which the Americans could
supply. They had some coal stored away
still, but not enough In the meantime
the American Army, when it pulled out,
could just leave behind its trucks to
provide highway transport for the Far
ben supplies and products. That would

1hree-Yea Paper Shortage
After We Day Is Forecast

By the Associated Press.
The worlds paper and wood pulp
situation will probably stay tight
for at least three years after the
war ends in Europe, the Commerce
Department says.
w. Leroy Neubrech, chief of the
pulp and paper unit, says that in
the first year after v day there
will be a world deficit of about L.
100000 short tons Of paper and pa
perboard. Therefore the full United
States consumption needs of q, ,522,-
900 tons in that year are not ex-
pected to be filled.
In the second year, world sur
plus of about 100000 tons is ex-
pected, chiefly because United States
requirements for war purposes are
expected to decrease. But because
Of low paper inventories throughout
the world and because of the first
year deficit mo realistic paper sur
plus Is expected to be apparent in
the second year."
The third year after We day is
expected to show a comparatively
small world surplus of 0,000 tons,
less than l per cent of estimated

Two States Appear
Nearing Showdown
On Poll Tax Issue
By the Associated Press.

Oy tAac AceoCidteQ FIeSS.
ATLANTA, Jan. 26.-The poll tax
Issue seemed headed today for an
early legislative showdown In two
of the eight States retaining the levy
as voting prerequisite, and in two
others there were signs of ap-
preaching fights.
In Georgia it was a clear-cut re-
peal fight. In Tennessee the effort
was to tighten or restrict the levy,
repeal there being possible only by
constitutional amendment. South
Carolina and Alabama efforts also
were toward modification and not
abandonment of the restriction.
Apparently gaining strength, poll
tax repealists in the Georgia Senate
defeated a reconsideration motion,
IS to II, yesterday after pushing a
repeal bill through the day before,
81 to 10.
The House, which earlier this
week defeated overwhelmingly a bill
to exempt war veterans from the
tax, will consider the Senate bill as
a special order Wednesday.
Repeal Introduced.
Gov. Ellis Arnall has told the
Legislature he will suspend the poll
tax by executive order unless the
lawmakers repeal it. However,
bill has been introduced to strip the
Governor of this power which he has
under century-old law.
In Tennessee, where in 1943 the
Legislature repealed the poll tax
only to have the State Supreme
Court invalidate the law, a stack of
bills has appeared, but the fight is
inconclusive' and no definite decision
Is expected earlier than next week.
The Tennessee Senate yesterday
accepted unfavorable committee re-
ports on two bills modifying the
tax. The constitution provides that
when bill is rejected the same
Legislature cannot consider other
bills of similar content.
1t Is now up to the speaker to rule
on the similarity of content of sub
sequent bills.
A bill abolishing the poll tax as
prerequisite for voting by service
men was introduced yesterday in
the South Carolina House of Rep
resentatives and went on the calen-
dar without committee reference.
The Alabama Legislature does not
meet until May /, but an iterim
committee turned down a proposal
this week which would require no
one to pay more than two years
back poll taxes. Afterward Repre-
sentative Mark Hodo announced he
would sponsor the bill from the floor
when the General Assembly meets. |

would want Congress to place more
limitations than now exist on lend
ing authority and would expect
other departments to carry the ball
on many of the recommendations
he had made.
Expounds Philosophy.
In five hours of testimony yester-
day, the former Vice President ex-
pounded philosophy of expanding
employment and pledged himself to
use the full powers of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. "in the in
terests of all the American people. .
The real issue" in the cabinet
controversy, he declared, is whether
the vast lending powers of RFC and
its offshoots "are to be used only to
help big business or whether these
powers are also to be used to help
little business and to carry out the
Presidents commitment of 60,0OO,-
900 jobs"
Tossing back the charge that he
was united by experience for the
responsibilities of the Office, Mr..
Wallace challenged Congress to look
into Mr.. Jones administration of
RFC.
Before he'd take 1t over, he said,
he'd like a thorough checkup by
"some competent authority to de-
termine its exact present financial
status.
Mr.. Wallace made 1t clear he would
like to have both jobs, but assured
the Senators he would accept the
Commerce secretaryship alone-for
the duration of the war-if the bill
OF enforcement went through.
However. he thought he could
make more of a success with his
plans for full employment and aid
for small business If he also had the
loan post.
