 Corpus Wrifs

CHICAGO, Jan. 9-A red-stained yellow blanket and a knife were found today in an alley behind an apartment building at 1908 Win throp Avenue where the police pre- yiously said the body of Suzannne Degnan, 6, was dismembered by a lnanical kidnap-killer.
 New clues were taken to police headquarters It's possible signifi- canoe lay in the fact that coron- er'sphysicians insisted the grue- some carving was done with a sharp instrument. although detec- tive Sgt Jack Hanrahan held to the belief that hack saw found in the Winthrop building was the weapon.
 Meantime counsel for two janitors of apartment buildings in the Edge water Beach district where Suzanne lived, and who were held for ques- tioning by police. sought their re- lease on habeas corpus writs.
 Presumably, the police would eith- CT have to charge the men with some offense or release them later today when the criminal court set a hearing ill the writ application.

GERMANS STARTING
 PLOTTING
Memorandum Disclosed in BerIin-WouId Restore
 Economic Empire

BERLIN, Jan. 9.--Disclosure of a secret memorandum from a high ot- ficial of Germanys second largest chemical trust to his fellow direc- tors indicated today that German in dustralists were maneuvering behind the backs of occupation authorities to rebuild the Reich's economic em- pire.
 The memorandum written by Hans Verchemeyer, former chair man of the Board of Schering, A. G., and dated Sept 8, l945-was found in Verchemeyer's personal files in Berlin by representative of the American military governments di- vision of investigation of cartels and external assets.
 This division, which was sent to Germany by the U. s. Treasury De- partment, has now been recalled to the United States at its own request.
 Scheme Proposed
 Verchemeyer told the directors that the occupation of Germany might last for years" and added. We cannot wait to begin recon struction until the occupation period has passed"
 He presented a scheme for Scher- ing to take over the leadership of Germany's chemical industry from l. G. Farben, stating: T am of the opinion that since the T. F. Farben Industrie has lost it's private char acter and, once it's plants have been broken up. they will gradually lose the lead they have. on, us and Lean see all kinds of opportunities for us. '
 Lire-Up f't U. s.
 The memorandum said that after about three years i've should try to get in touch with Du Pont and of fer Du Pont approximately one-third of our share of capital at good exchange and make available to them our patents, experience and discoveries for a moderate license payment and a division of the mar ket.'
 Russell A. Nixon, former deputy director of the division Investigating cartels said The memorandum clearly shows how German indus tralists are maneuvering and biding their time, hoping to play us for suckers
