SUGAR CONTROLS OFF

As price control goes off sugar .cday for the first time since the war, scme housewives are wonder ing why the Army chose this time to buy several thousand tons of sugar for Japan and Germany.
 Up until this summer, the Army had sent only 12,OO0 tons of sugar 10 Japan and Germany. But re- gently this quota was boosted to l2T.000 tons. and the Army is mak- ing another sugar purchase soon cf 84.000 tons
 Reasons behind this:
 1.-The price of wheat is so high rhat. measured in calcries, sugar is cheaper Since the U S Army ul dlrtakes to feed the Japanese aId Gcrman people certain num-
 r cf calories, il can get the same cel7ry content by using more sugar ard less wheat.
 The Cuban sugar crop this year was the greatest in history, while the American beet-sugar crop n the western states was one of the greatest.
 Actually there may be tenn porary dislocation of sugar when price controls go off today, due to the fact that Eastern relmers have slowed up their imports from Cuba Th!s may send prices up temper arily. However, by moving western beet sugar east, and speeding i'm ports from Cuba, th.s dislocation and price boost can soon be read justed.

Farben Trust Blocked
Chemical Aid 10 Reds
In '39, Letter Shows
BY the Assoeiofed Pres,

NUREMBERG, Germany Sept. IL.
The I. G. Farben trust blocked a
move by Russia to improve its chem
ical industry with German help on
the strength of the non-aggression
pact signed with Hitler in 1899, it
was disclosed today at the Farben
war crimes trial.
| How the Farben chiefs froWned
on the proposal during the period
when Adolf Hitler and Prime Min
lister Stain were dickering with each
other was revealed In a. document
obtained from the Farben files by
American prosecutors conducting
the trial of % directors of the huge
trust.
According to the document, a
delegation from Moscow in Novem-
ber, 1899, sought expert help to
build Russian chemical industry
and negotiations were undertaken.
They never amounted to anything,
however, after barriers were set up
against giving the Soviet Union any
information.
Document Is Letter.
The document which revealed the
situation was signed by two of the
defendants at the present trial
Fritz Ter Nicer, Farben chemical
expert, and Otto Ambros, head of
Farben's synthetic rubber works at
AuSrhUjtZ (OSwiecirn)
The document was in the form
of a letter to Carl Krauch, head of
the Farben board.
The two directors stated bluntly
in the letter that Farben would be
unable to help the Russians develop
artificial rubber for at least two
years and added:
"We trust that a long stay of
Russian experts in our plants will
be avoided. In several cases the
inspection Of installations in our
works is extremely risky.
Experts Could Copy Methods.
There are cases where tnstalla-
tions are so complicated that insight
into the operations reactions is not
possible and an inspection harm
less. On the other hand there are
cases where an expert could gain
so much information on our work.

process. Buna (synthetic RUBBER
Is quoted as an example"
The letter suggested that other
German chemical firms be called on
ito make their processes available
to the USSR.
BY this time Farben was virtually
a chemical monopoly in Germany.
The two directors pointed out that
Russia already had become a large
scale producer of butadiene-a base
for synthetic rubber-and COM

AN inspection of our continuous

Farben also recommended that if

slams by Hitler, it should be stipu-
lated that the products so yielded

be used by the Russians only within
their domestic economy with a ban
on shipment abroad.
Some of the products sought by
the Russians, the Farben directors
pointed out, were "of considerable

Germans Burn Coffins
OF Past Heroes Trying
To Keep Homes Warm

BERLIN, Nov. 13 IN. A. N. AL
No longer is there anything sacred
in Berlin. In the lAee, eerie base
ment of the famous old Garrison
Church at Potsdam, there were until
recently dozens of coffins containing
the remains of the contemporaries
of Frederick II. There they lay in
all their majesty, dusty dress uni
forms concealing the skeletons be-
meath. Skeletons and uniforms, all
were incloSed in double walled oak
coffins. Many of these German war
heroes have lain thus for $50 years. |
Frederick himself lay there until
Hitler decided to remove him.
Now everything is different. The
Germans need wood for their stoves.
They have all seen and experienced
death in their families and on the
battlefield. Dried-up bones of heroes
mean nothing to them any more.
But oak burns-and these cofins
were made of oak. Why should 81

they did belong to general-be
hCpG wal LII LII a NONASA1 SoAAAAA "iANAA
live German bones were chilled?
Now there are no cof1ins. This
awesome church basement holds q
heap of skulls, spines and ribs. The
once glamorous uniforms with their
gold and silver braid have fallen
apart and lie IN dramatic confusion
over the floor. High boots and gloves
have been tossed into odd corners.
German authorities are disgusted.
They consider this the last straw
in sacrilege.
But the Germans push on. Next
to bread, wood Is their feverish aim.
Coff1ns burn well-and so do wooden
palings and benches. Cemeteries
have been robbed of their fences.
One has been left with only its
wrought-iron gates.
Old ladies who have brought
flowers to a loved ones grave must
sit on the ground to rest II they
are tired. The seats that were
once under the trees have been
taken away for firewood.
But worse are the people who reg
ularly rob graves of their flowers.
These people await new burial.
When relatives arrive the next day
the grave has been stripped-noI
wreaths, no plants, no flowers. Al
ready they are being sold on street
corners by these despicable thieves.
One German widow said: my
husband loved roses. When he
died, I planted rose trees on his
little plot Of earth. One day the
roses were In bud. The next day
there wasn't a bloom in sight"

In memory of Harold E. and
Shirley j. Shoemaker who pass
ed from us one year ago today,
July l8, 1916.
The month of July is here,
To us the saddest of the year.
A bitter grief, a shock severe,
To part with those we loved so
dear;
Often to their graves we wander,
Placing flowers with tender care,
Over them we loved so dearly:
Who sleep SO peacefully there
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still;
But death has left a loneliness
The world can never fill.
The rolling stream of life rolls on
But still their vacant chairs
Recalls the boy and girl with
their bright eyes and shining
hair,
Their voices and their smiles that
once sat there;
We miss you Darlings,
Friends may think the wound
has healed,
But Oh, the lonlinesS and Sor-
row that lies in our hearts con-
cealed.
Sadly missed by Mother,
Daddy, brother and sisters
