US. Aid Urged for investors
In Scarce Materials Abroad
Nv The A.so,;,t.d Press

BY the A.soeiofsd Press
Undersecretary of State Clayton
said yesterday the Government
should give more encouragement to
Americans investing abroad in
strategic raw materials which are
becoming scarce in this country.
Accelerated depletion during the
war of such resources as tungsten,
manganese, chromium, bauxite and
copper have made it necessary for
the United States to import these
materials in ever-increasing guam
titles, both for security reasons and
to maintain the domestic economy,
Mr.. Clayton said.
In addition to these scarce mate
rials, he said the United States
might be interested in new overseas
investments in uranium, q source
of atomic energy.
Mr.. Clayton, chief of economic
affairs for the State Department,
expressed his opinions through the
departments press section in re-
sponse to a reporters request that
he elaborate on a radio broadcast
last Saturday.

AHidavits Describe
Bullying Of Austria
By Hitler and Goerinq
By the Associofed Pres.

A blow-by blow account of the
way Hitler and Goering bullied Aus
tria into submission with invasion
threats was detailed by former Aus
trian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg
in two affidavits belatedly published
last night by the American war
crimes prosecution staff.
Schuschnigg said Goering gave
him one-hour ultimatum by tele-
phone to call off a plebiscite in
March, 1888, and later two hours to
resign as chancellor.
His afidavits were included in the
latest of series of documents sup
porting the charges of Nazi con-
spiracy and aggression at the Nu-
ernberg trial, Members of the staff
Of Justice Robert H. Jackson, the
chief American prosecutor, said
they were crowded out of the trial
record.
Schuschnigg reported that Franz
Won Papen, Hitler's Austrian envoy,
who was acquitted at Nuremberg,
prevailed on him to confer with the
Fuehrer February IL, 1888, with a
promise that Austria's S critical posi-
ton would not be worsened there
by.
Instead, In a historic meeting at
the Berghof Mountain retreat at
Berchtesgaden, Hitler menacingIy
lectured him, Schuschnigg asserted,
and delivered set of demands to be
fulfilled within three days.
On March II, with a secret order
out for plebiscite which Schusch-
nigg said he felt sure would set
tie the problem of the Austrian
Nazis. the Nazis closed the border
and started to move troops Before
midnight, Schuschnigg related, these
events took place in rapid fire order :
Goering sent a message the pleb-
iscite must be called of in one hour
Another message followed that
Schuschnigg must get out in two
hours. His successor was to be
Seyss-Inquart, the Austrian Nazi
leader who was convicted at Nuern-
berg and hanged. '~5'
Goering then phoned from Berlin
that Seyss-Inquart must send tele-
gram asking Germany for military
assistance to put down great riots
In Austria.
Schuschnigg and President Mi
klas followed orders. The next day
the Nazis marched and the chan
|cellor was made a prisoner He was
held until freed by the Allied VIC
tory in l945.
Also published was an affidavit by
George S. Messersmith. now United
States Ambassador to Argentina
stating that Won Papen told him IN
1884 that Southeastern Europe to
Turkey is Germanys hinterland and
I have been designated to carry
through the task of bringing it
within the fold. Austria is the first
on the program"
Mr.. Messersmith then was min
lister to Austria. His detailed aff-
davit on Nazi plotting figured in
the Nuremberg trial.

For Slow Sale of Surplus Plants

Brook Ordnance Works at Sandusky
Ohio, in which the Government has
invested $48,906. 900, but the property
is capable of turning out in one day
enough explosives to supply peace
time demands for at least five years,
officials said. In view of the fact
that nobody can guarantee TINT will
play the same role in the next war
that 1t has in the last, private bid
ders are looking the other way.
In some cases the Government will
get part Of its money back by leasing
large plants to several tenants, each
OF which can use part of the produc-
tive capacity. In other cases, a
single portion Of a plant, such as a
foundry, can be leased while other
portions, including expensive ma
chinery, must lie idle.
WAA officials estimate that about
$500 Government-owned war plants.

These estimates do not include nom

World Food Board
Preparatory Session
"a
Opens Here tomorrow

Representatives Of 16 nations will
meet here tomorrow to begin work
on proposed World Food Board
that would set up broad controls
over agricultural production, prices
and distribution.
The United States will enter the
conference uncommitted for or
against the board but with an at
titude of caution.
This Governments decision to
go slow on the proposal, officials
said, was adopted after meetings last
week attended by representatives
of the State and Agriculture De-
partments, national farm groups and
consumer organizations.
Some Government officials as well
as farm leaders expressed sharp op-
position to the board, and showed
concern that in time it might be-
come powerful enough to dictate
farm production policies for this
country.
U. S. Backs Objectives.
The Government is In accord with
the general objectives OF the board,
such as prevention of farm sur
pluses and depressed prices or of
undue shortages and out-of hand
prices. But it feels that they may
be achieved without creating a pow
erful international agency.
The opening session is scheduled
for 10:45 am. in the Agriculture
Department auditorium. After a
week of meetings with all delegates,
the conference will hold committee
sessions. officials believe these
groups will continue their studies
for three to four months. Then the
full conference will hear their
reports.
Officially known as the Prepara-
tory Commission, the group meet
ing here tomorrow was set up at
the sessions of the Food and Agri-
culture Organization Of the United
Nations at Copenhagen, September
2-13. FAC headquarters here are
at 1000 Massachusetts, avenue NV
To Aid Agricultural Countries.
Aid to backward agricultural
countries also will be considered by
the commission. The setting up of
hydroelectric plants, irrigation and
other methods to raise living
standards in these countries will be
given attention.
The Al nations which met at Co.
penhagen selected the is countries
for tomorrow's meeting. Although
neither Russia nor the Argentine is
a member of the FAC, observers
from those agriculturally important
nations have been invited to the
sessions here. Both surplus and
scanty food countries are repre-
sented in the Preparatory Commits
sion.
The 16 nations to be represented
here are Australia. Belgium. Brazil
Canada. China, Cuba, Czechoslo-
vakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, In
dia, The Netherlands, Philippine Re
public, Poland, United Kingdom and
the United States. Siam has been
asked to join in talks about rice.
Former Australian Prime Minister
S. M. Bruce will be chairman of
the commission. Sir John Boyd Orr,
q Scotsman, expert on nutrition and
agricultural scientist, is director
general of the FAC. Both will ad-
dress the opening session. g.

For him upon this earth.
Missing from his aged Mother,
No more with me to go to church;
Missing from his daily chores.
Missing from this earth.
He is missing. but not forsotten.
For in Heavens corridors, where death
Where cruel men cannot destroy,
He is waiting there for me.
Saints and angels both are shouting
With rejoicing loud and long,
Now he's singing Heavens songs.
