Washington. Dec. ie - eyPl - The Allied bis four gre ready so cI- gage ln @ campaign e who.esa.e igast-bas.ing Co Germany as par. oi their efI0-. to render Germany incapable of wag.ng war. a Senate subcommittee was told today.
 Mag.-Gca. John F.

German economic power and Ger man participation !a international caTtels.
 Russia. Britain. France and the [. $. have already agreed ln pfin- ciple. he said. that German csrtels. syndicates, trusts. combines should be eliminated.
 Agreement Awaited
 There remain only final quadri- partite tfour-powerl agreements as 10 The exact means of implement ing this agreed principle"
 Hil.dring cited seizure Of the giant 1 I. c. Farben combine last month as an example of Allied intentions. i. He said investigations of other Ger man trusts are being carried on and will continue to be carried on until We are satisfied that we have ferreted out every single cartel or eartel-like organization which might bstantially contribute to 8 Ger man war potential"
 Detailing some of the activities of Farben that have been uncovered an Army investigator told the con- mittee that Farben used cartel ar engagements with Standard Oil to delay development of buna rubber in the U. s. until 1940 while produc- ing all the German army needed. Farben Was Key in War
 Col. Bernard Bernstein, director of cartel investigation for the Amer ican Military Government in Ger many, said this successful deal was typical of Farben's far-reachins steps to prepare Germany for war while weakening her future enemies
 Without Farben, he said, Germany could not have prepared for or fought a war He said the firms 1 top officials should be indicted and convicted as war criminals, and that Farben should be destroyed. Bernstein disclosed that I. c. Far ben developed the deadlieSt poison gas In the world, gas unknown to the Allied Nations. He said it would have penetrated any gas mask in ex- istence, its effectiveness having been proved by mass executions in con- centration camps.
 Apparently hoping to save this secret for the next war, he said, the Germans ordered poison gas plants and stocks destroyed before occupa- ton.
 Bernstein said Farben's cartels numbering more than 2,000, includ- ed agreements with Standard Oil tNew Jersey, the Aluminium Con- pany of America. E. I. DuPont De Nemours, Ethyl Export Corp. I'm perial Chemical Industries (Great Britain, the Dow Chemical Co., and the Mitsui interests of Japan.

 No. there was one other differ ance," Barhydt replied. The new South Sea Island jellies cost three times as much as the old jelly
 Names Racketeer
 This meant that one cent would buy only two square jelly beans at Barhydt's jelly bean counter. This in turn confronted him with buy CTS strike on the part of the jelly bean consuming public. What Bar hydt wanted was relief.
 He whispered the name Of the all leged jelly bean racketeer to the Senate's clerk, who handed 1t to Jerome Ney. the OPA's price chief tain, who said he'd bring back ob- long jelly beans, O. ciose down a square jelly ceen factory.
 That solved that and anybody felt relaxed, except Barhydt. who fumb- led in his pocket and banged down on the table two pieces of maehin- cry, one of gleaming steel, the other of blue plastic. Potato peelers,' he said.
 The Senators snapped to acten- ton. Barhydt told how he had made friends and influenced house. wives of Walden by retailing the first class steel potato peeler for 10 cents. Then came OPA again.
 Aha" said Sen. Wheery.
 And I could not get steel potato peelers at any price" Barhydt said. T had to take this plastic potato peeler. which I have got to sell at 9 cents. This would not be So bad. except that 1t gets soggy in the dish water. Furthermore it will not peel potatoes.'
 The governments going 10 look tn.o this. too, as soon as 1t finishes up with jelly beans.
