ing to President Truman that the files of the famous Nazi cartel, l. G. Farben, which developed synthetic gasoline and rubber patents and CO., operated with U. s. business, be microfilmed
 These files, which may hold among the most precious of Nazi war se- crets, have been kicked around Ger many, and were even stored for a while in a warehouse with displaced persons who tore some of them up for bedding and toilet uses. Also the files have been the subject of tug of-war between jealous U. s. agen- cies, including the Army, the OSS, the Justice Department, and the TEA.
 Some of the files were found bur- jed in the basements and back gar dens of high G. Farben officials, who took them home as the war neared it's end Some were carted off by the Germans to escape bomb- ing. Two boxcars filled with files were shipped off to Weimar Most of the files are under the Army at Frankfurt, but home are under the OSS at Heidelberg.
 Top-notch I. G. Farben officials are also considered important for establishing war. guilt and ascertain | ing war secrets. They have been kept in prison ever since the Arm- istice, though several seemed con- fident that high United States ano l British businessmen would get them cut. The name they most frequent ly mention as the friend who would rescue them is Lord McGowan, head of British Imperial Chemical Ltd Some also mentioned Lammot du Pont. Both du Pont and Imperial Chemical had agreements with I. G Farben before the war)
 Thomas H. McKittrick, head o1 the Bank of International Settle ments, was also one who the I. c Farben officials thought would hell them; together with Leon Fraser formerly with the Bank of Inter. national Settlements, who commit ted suicide under unusual circum- stances last winter. l. G. Farber officials, incidentally, did not know that he was dead.

It keeps ordinary person running to the atlas ana the encyclopedia It interferes with the days work.
 In school days geography the most popular subject for many of us There were several reasons for that For one thing it not exacng subject. Unlike arithmetic and spelling it did not require per lection boy or girl might know very little about given ocean or continent country and still know enough to get by
 Thus, in youth learned all the geography we cared to know enough, thought, to last us life time Fondy for years thereafter, believed we were through with geography. Then along came the world wars, and world stern geography teachers.
 The First World War forced Przemys upon our attention The grim lesson didn't The majority of our voters supported statesmen in doing nothing much toward preventing another world war with what consequences to our peace of mind we know.
 It's a strain, all this geography especially to those of us who once fanced we had conquered the subjatc from Aix to zambeM and were finished with 1t for the rest of days. Even so perhaps We shall take no harm from learning little more about this world of ours than used to think needful Come to find cut it isn't entirely world after all It appears that share it with lot of other people We really ought to know about them.
 At the same time, here is argument-not the strongest put of the strong ones-in favor of the idea that all peoples who would like a little peace and quiet should get together and matters that never again will there be world war to force so much geography upon us.

Lebanese Backwash
Cincinnati Enquirer

Two important-and highly probable-repercus sions from the recent Syrian incident have been largely overlooked by press and radio in the United States One of these has to do with Britain. The other with France.
 By direct implication Britain, in backing the cause of the Arabs in the Levant has gone on record as favoring greater independence for the Arab states For this many native leaders in the Middle East have been waiting They certain to make capital of it.
 In Palestine, Trans-Jordan and other Arab lands under partial British control mandate increased demands for independence probably will be heard These peoples looking toward the Levan will insist that since Britain sanctions greater freedom in French nandated territory the same principles should apply to other Arab countries The United States having backed the British stand, will feel the same pressure but in lesser degree
 Britain, Russia and the United States, of course were record previously favorng independence for the Levant States As matter of fact all three nations have recognized that independence. However such recognition somewhat negative in nature until the recent Syrian incident. Now Britain has committed herself not only by nominal recognition She has moved to protect her nominal commitment by military action-something which the Arab peoples fully comprehend.
 It is not unreasonable to feel then that Brtain's position in certain regards, has been strengthened in the Middle East On the other hand France has suffered a setback. That setback may extend far beyond immediate territories involved.
 There has been much unrest among the French held Arab states in North Africa In the 1aStnesses of Algeria just north of the Atlas Mountains, French troops have been jittery for months due to almost constant threats from fierce desert tribes Algeria is dependency of France. In the French protectorate of Morocco conditions some better, but beneath the surface strong antFrench feelings are at work The action in Syria will intensity difficulties in both these countries.
 In all it is possible that the shelling of Damascus with the resultant deaths of hundreds of Arabs, will hasten the eventual removal of France from the role of colonst. Her record in that field has been lar from brilant-particuarly during the last 50 years.

Race Question Endangers
America, Saws Writer

The relationship of Negroes to our
country is a rock on which this
Nation possibly could be wrecked,
Richard Wright, author of the best
sellers Native Son" and BLACK
Boy" told a Howard University
forum last night in the university'S
memorial chapel.
THE Negro problem explains the
minds Of the American people," he
stated. This Nation made its bid
for freedom years ago on the prin-
ciple that man is equal, but now
forgets in the case of the Negro
and in so doing forgets the reason
the recent costly war was fought"
Mr.. Wright traced the historical
development Of the racial problem
and pointed out that 1t was as much
a matter Of education of white people
as the Negro. Hitler saw the blind
spots in the masses, spots which
exist in America today, and ex-
plotted them more cleverly than any
politician in history, he said. He
added that as we get more involved
in racial ideas, the same thing
might happen here.
THE efforts of the Negro to gain
complete freedom and equality In
America Is the normal reaction of
an intelligent human being and not
reaction confined to the Negro" :"
he said.
Mr. Wright's talk was followed by
an open forum, with members of
the audience of both races par
ticipating.

Navy Plans 10 Berth
80 Inactive Ships al
Norfolk, Philadelphia

At least 80 combat ships will be
berthed at Philadelphia and Norfolk
under tentative plans announced by
the Navy Department today for
placing 2,080 ships in inactive status
in IA ports on the East, West and
Gulf coasts.
This total Is slightly less than a
fifth of the Navy's wartime strength
of 1850 regularly ships.
The ships to be retired and their
assignment to various ports will be
determined after Congress and the
White House determine the policy
governing the Navy's size in peace
time.
Nine heavy cruisers and nine light
cruisers can be accommodated at
Philadelphia along with at least two
battleships, five small aircraft car
riers and various auxiliary vessels.
The tentative total is Al.
At Norfolk and Newport News al
most 20 aircaft carriers can be
berthed along with battleship and
16 attack transports. Various other
ships also can be moored in the Vir-
ginia ports.
1t is planned to concentrate in
active destroyers on the East Coast
at Charleston, S. c., where there is
space for almost 100, while the St.
Johns River Basin at Green Cove
Springs, Fla, has space for l64 de-
stroyer escorts. This probably will
be the principal concentration, point
for the smaller vessels, totaling up
to 753 and including everything
from amphibious landing ships to
repair units, submarine chasers,
lighters, tugs and barracks ships.
The Nays Bayonne IN. J) Annex
is under consideration for berthing
battleships, carriers and Is escort
carriers, it was announced.
