Government Promises
Use Of German Patents
For Free Competition
By the Associated Press

1
The Justice Departments Office OF
Alien Property said yesterday that
III the Government is finally awarded
T. G. Farbenindustrie patents In
pending litigation, they will be "uti.
lized to encourage free competition
in the fields to which they relate
David l.. Bazelon, assistant At
torney General in charge of alien
property, made the comment in con-
Inection with a ruling by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals In
New York last week covering division
OF property in this country once
owned by Germany's Farbenindus-
trie. The property was seized by
the Government during the war and
some of 1t now is claimed by Stan
dard Oil Co. of New Jersey.
The Circuit Court, in a modiflca-
tion of a district court decree at
Boston, ruled the Government was
entitled to certain patents covering
production of synthetic rubber, soap
tuluol, asphalt paving and hydro
gen, and that other patents relating
to the processing of oil and gasoline
should 60 to Standard. Stock in
terests in companies affiliated with
Standard were divided similarly.
The Justice Department said the
case required a review of dealings
between Standard Oil of New Jersey
and I. G. Farbenindustrie over a
period from 1925 to our entry into
World War H." which the Govern
ment contended included sham
transactions" relating to Farbenin-
dustrie assets in the United States.
The division Of seized assets fixed
by the Circuit Court is subject to ap-
peal to the Supreme Court by either
the Government or Standard Oil
within 80 days.

Not Conflict With Old Plan
As Adopted By City Council

The proposed retirement plan

City Commission will not conflict
with the old pension law, enact

troller Charles Roberts said to-
day.
Thirtyfour Key Westers are
now pensioned by the city, and
the monthly checks they receive
range from Sc to $100.34. The
amount. provided in the budget
for the pensions, totals $19,454.88
annually.
Under this pension plan. any
employee having 20 years of
service. receives so per cent of
his salary when he retires.
fifteen years or more. 40 per
cent. and 10 years or more. rs
per cent. Another feature of
this plan was to allow the
widow of the pensioned en-
ploYe to receive his monthly
check until she died or re-
married. This was cancelled
upon enactment of the new
city charter.
The old pension ordinance was
amended in 1913 to allow, in
stead of 20 years continuous
service, to read 20 years of serv-
ice. This was done to accommo-
Gate certain employees who had
given 20 years of service, but
not .consecutively, having accept
ed non-city employment at one
time or another.
Salary figured was based on
the average monthly earnings for
similar service for five years
prior to retirement.

WASHINGTON, July "a. =
President Truman, in answer to
question at his press conference
this morning, said he had not yet
decided whom he would appoint
as head of the committee that
will supervise the distribution of
supplies to those countries in .Eu-
rope who have acceded to the
provisions of the Marshall plan
for their rebuilding.
Another newsman asked him
if the report was true that Sec
retafy of the Navy Forrestal will
be named to head the unit that
will direct the armed forces after
they have been merged. Truman
did not answer yes or no, but
said instead, it was matter that
he would attend to when it came
up for his decision.
Republican leaders declared to-
day that congress will be ad-
journed Saturday, subject to its
reconvening by them should
they deem it advisable. They
explained that they put that pro-
vision in the resolution for ad-
tournament, so that it would not
be left to the President alone
to determine whether or not con-
greSs should be reconvened be-
fore the next regular sssion.
