 Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Dozens of GI. investigators have been working since the shooting war stopped to help win another war. This is a war against international big busi- ness, which recognized no national boundaries, which used countries only as market divisions for its products, and which at one time aided Hitler, Mussolini and Hiro- hito just as much as it did France and England.
 What the GI.s investigators have uncovered in Germany is a tribute to Nazi thoroughness and to the gullibility of American big business. For what it amounts to is world plan by which Germany expanded its industrial capacity for war while simultaneously curbing the industrial capacity of this country and other potential enemies.
 And the names of the same men who have been dickering with Truman over steel-Ben Hairless, Eugene Grace, ct al-have turned up in European files as a part of the cartel which unwittingly play ed into the hands of the Nazis. It is story which the leaders of the steel industry would like to forget. But the Justice Department hasn't forgotten it.
 American participation in the steel cartel was decided upon as late as l937-whep there was no longer any doubt regarding Hitler's warlike intentions. By that time he had already invaded the Rhine land, showed his hand by sending arms to France, and boasted open ly in speech after speech that Ger many would dominate Europe.
 The steel cartel files, seized in Luxembourg, reveal that s. M Bash of Bethlehem Steel and A. G. Mundle of U. s. Steel took the initiative in binding their com panies to the cartel Four months later an agreement to divide up world markets was reached,

Many Problems Unsettled First Rate Fight on
 Headquarters
(BY JOHN M. H1GHTowER)

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Adjournment of the United Nations General As sembly, informally scheduled for this weekend, was delayed today by a number of unsettled problems, topped off by first-rate fight over the selection of a home for the UNO.
 Leaders had indicated over a week ago that they expected to pack up and go home by today, but when time arrived they found they still had on the agenda about half of the issues which were be- fore them when they started out four weeks ago.
 UNO officials, with the constant urging of U s. delegation chief Edward R. Stettinius, Jr,, are shooting now at adjournment by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week
 The site controversy has reached a point where some delegates re- ported privately that a movement was underway not to let UNO headquarters be established in the United States at all but to keep it in London for a few years.
 Some European leaders have fla vored a European setting all along. Other factions within the Assem- bly's site committee are working for New York and San Francisco as temporary headquarters.
 The group of nations, opposed to the site inspection committees choice of the Connecticut New York area as a permanent site. was said by informed quarters to be gaining strength in their efforts to post bone a decision until next Septem- Der or later.
 Meanwhile, the Security Council which already had disposed of the Iranian and Greek controversies, seemed to be at least as well up on it's slate as the Assembly, and the members were working to settle the Indonesian dispute today tThe Council was scheduled to meet at noon ESTD
