goods, and increased prices Of some
staple goods sustained retail dollar

ions were well received.
Dollar volume In mems apparel

Britain and j. ). Move
ToChopU pI.B. Farben
And Sell Small Units
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Germany, Aug. s.
British and American authorities
set out today to chop the giant
I. G. Farben chemical cartel into
small pieces. Their plans are in
tended not only to break up the
billion dollar trust, but to keep 1t
that way.
"One of the detectives Of military
government in the combined eco-
homie area is that the I. G. Farben
empire shall not be reconstructed"
an announcement said.
The independent units that are
to be established will be required to
operate independently and in COM
petition with each other in &C
cordance with the requirements and
as part of the overall economic
German industrial program"
s. Scores Of Farben plants soon are
to be offered for sale. One Ameri-
can officer estimated the number
at about So" but said he did not
have the exact figure.
Sales of the properties-now split
into independent units by four
powered order-will be carried out
by German authorities. For the
time being, the sales will affect
only properties in the British and
American occupation zones, but
French authorities have been noti-
fed and are expected to follow suit.
| The action was taken by the
British and Americans independ-
emily Of the Russians. 1t repre-
sents a break in the former quad
ripartite control of the vast Farben
empire. American sources said the
action was taken because four
power rule of Germany has coll
lapsed by reason of Soviet actions.
Similar procedure can be fol-
lowed in the Soviet zone by parallel
action If Soviet authorities so de-
sire" the announcement said.
The new plan for control of Far
ben, Is directors of which were con-
victed and sentenced for war crimes
last week at Nuremberg, calls for:
l. Establishment of a British
American control board.
2. Creation of a six to eight man
German Il. G. Farben dispersion
panel"
Since American and British mill
tary governments consider dis
persal" of the billion dollar chemical
empire to be basically a German
job, decisions on breaking up the
trust will be left to them wherever
possible"

Dollar Diplomacy
Charged 10 u. 5. in
Demands on Danube
By the Asseeiatsd Press

BELGRADE, Aug. Foreign
Minister Ana Pauker of Romania
accused the United States today of
trying to use dollar diplomacy to
obtain strong position in the
Danubian basin.
I'VE know what has happened
in Greece, in China, in Italy and
in France" she told an ll-nation
conference ON the control OF
Danubian shipping.
I'VE do not desire and we will
not permit dollar diplomacy to lead
to similar conditions in our coun-
tries"
She cited a protest lodged yester-
day by American Ambassador
Cavendish Cannon against the
formation of joint shipping COM
panies which Russia has set up
with several neighboring states.
She claimed this protest constituted
an American effort to interfere In
the internal affairs Of the Danubian
states.
Russian Plan Endorsed.
Romania Fundamentally Endorsed
the Russian plan for new inter-
national regime over the Danube
which would be under the exclusive
control of Eastern Europe's Com
nunist-dominated states.
BY contrast, the United States
with British and French support, is
advocating an 11-member board tt
include representatives OF the three
major Western powers, Austria ane
eventually Germany.
J.. Nine. Pauker claimed the West.
ern Powers interest in improving
navigation on the Danube In thu
past has been in direct proportion
to the amount of goods they wantee
to exact" from the Danubian coun.
rites. She said that as their desire
for goods decreased so did theil
interest in the rivers navigation.
Mr.. Cannon claimed yesterday
that Russia, with her Danublar
neighbors has set up a monopolistit
shipping, transportation and de-
velopment system on the Danube
which would be protected under the
proposed Soviet pact.
British Offer Principles.
! Mr.. Cannon proposed a plan un.
der which international navigation
of the Danube would be free ano
open to commercial vessels and per-
sons of all nations on a footing Of
equality.
Today British Ambassador Sir
Charles Peake presented a set OF
principles which he said must be
included in the new Danubian con-
vention to make it workable. They
paralleled closely the proposed Unit
ed States draft.
Sir Charles said he was aston
ished that the Soviet plan contained
no machinery for guaranteeing in
ternational cooperation on the
Danube.
He said that Mr.. Cannon has mot
handed it (the American PLAN to q
conference of lesser states with in
structions to sign it on the dotted
line"
That remark came after Sir
Charles noted that the Soviet docu-
ment had received almost unani-
nous praise" Of the Eastern Euro
pean countries. He turned to Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Vishinsky
and said:
Il know he will not expect me te
join that chorus" i
