Why not National Whirligig Retention Of Former Nazis Lightens U. S. Officers' Work ALTOONA TRIBUNE, Thursday, October 4, 1845 Editorial Ominous Portents THERE is a certain ominous portent In the strikes sweeping over the country now.

Unfortunately, the whole situation is so obscured by bias that it is difficult to see a clear picture, or to present one. Nevertheless, we are not alone in viewing with concern the present labor troubles, not only because of their effect upon our economy, which is not large yet, but because of the threat they contain for the future. These strikes are a continuation of the labor disputes that raged during the war. Union organization leaders and new deal stalwarts looking for la Dor votes did their best to belittle the significance -of, the wartime strikes. Even while they berated Mr.

Average Citizen for not buying more war bonds, and ques" tioned his patriotism if he moaned slightly when the rationing squeeze got a little tight, they looked with tolerant eye upon strikes which threatened our whole war effort. It was an amazing situation. But, it was the beginning of the big battle which was shaping up, and has been for some years the battle for union supremacy. No fair man questions the efficacy of union organization, or what it has done for the American laboring man. But, like anything else, it offers opportunity for abuse.

Great financiers often have abused their powers. But, they have been marked quickly because they did not have so many on their side, nor such potent arguments as labor leaders can find. The betterment of labor is not the real cause of the present labor troubles. Every single indication points to their deliberate origin in union leadership for purposes of personal authority only. During the war, John L.

Lewis did something no other man in American history ever did. And, what is more he got away with it. He stopped the American war effort almost completely for nearly a day, and slowed it up dangerously for weeks. He did something no enemy ever did to America. And, he did it with impunity.

In war time, no possible consideration could have excused that legally. Yet, he did it safely. That is the kind of power labor leaders are fighting for. this labor struggle reaches its ultimate conclusion from labor's standpoint, what result can we foresee? Only this: A labor dictatorship in America. An America run at the behest of one man and one who is not elected by the people.

If it sounds silly, look at it this way: A labor leader able to make impossible demands and back them up with strikes, can stop the most essential industries of the nation the electric industry, the coal industry, the petroleum industry, for example. These industries are vital. If any one of them completely stops, America stops. The government can't do that. But, labor can.

Capitalism can't. But labor leaders can. Wages demands are rising. Once, they were for ,1 per cent, 2 per cent, 5 per cent, 10 per cent. Now they are for 30 per cent, 50 per cent.

Economically and fundamentally, things are being confused, distorted, thrown out of focus, and threatening complete disruption of America. Something is wrong, and it is not just because more people want more money. None knows better than labor leaders that if the majority of American workers get a 30 per cent wage boost, their cost of living will go right up 30 per cent within a matter of weeks or months. The trouble lies deeper. And unless something is done to uncover that trouble so the American people can see it clearly, we face the possibility of a complete upset economically and governmentally.

dustrial scale. "Especially In the case of Iso-octane, It is shown that we owe much to the Americans because In our own work we would draw widely on American Information on the behavior of fuels In motors. Moreover, we were also kept currently informed by the Americans on the progress of their production process and its further development. NAZIS GAINED A LOT "Shortly before the war a new method for production of iso-octane was found in America; alkylizatlon with isomeriz-ation as a preliminary step. This process, which Mr.

Haslam does not mention at all, originates in fact entirely with the Americans and has become known to us in detail in its separate stages through our agreements with them, and Is being used very extensively by us." Summing up the situation regarding gasoline, the memo states: "It must be noted that particularly in the case of production of aviation gasoline on an iso-octane basis, hardly anything was given to the Americans, while we gained a lot." Turning to toluol, the Farben study stated that G. technically so improved the aromatization through the discovery of new catalysts that the production of aromatic fuels became possible on a large scale. The Americans learned nothing from us about this. When Mr. Haslam, in connection with toluol, talks of a 'miracle' which has fallen to the Americans through the hydrogenation process, his statement is not correct; for toluol can be produced without hydrogenation and is in any case not produced by hydrogenation 'in America." Finally the Germans used, their American colleagues to accumulate stores of oil and gasoline in the U.

S. A. for transportation to Germany. Regarding this, the I. G.

Farben report states: "In 1935, our government had ie greatest interest in gathering from abroad a stock of especially valuable petroleum products (in particular, aviation gasoline and aviation lubricating oil) and holding it in reserve to an amount approximately equal to at market value. The German government asked I. G. if it were not possible, on the basis of its friendly relations with Standard Oil, to buy this amount as I. G.

actually, however, as trustee of the German government. "The fact that we actually succeeded, by means of the most difficult negotiations, in buying the quantity desired by our government from the American Standard Oil company and the Dutch-English Royal-Dutch-Sheli group and in transporting it to Germany was made possible only, through the aid of the Standard Oil Co." your birthday By STELLA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4 Born today, you have an original twist and a mechanical ability with your hands, inis makes it possible lor you to convert your ideas into workable! plans and then into actual working models.

But he may be recalled to the bench as soon as he has discharged the heaviest part of his present assignment. STRIPPED Many Democratic senators on Capitol Hill believe that their old friend, President Truman, "let them down," to use his own expression, when he publicly scolded them for wrecking his $25-a-week payment plan for the jobless. Their suspicion may be slightly unfair to the chief executive, for he supported this scheme he was one of their colleagues. Nevertheless, the feeling ists. The reaction to his criticism was immediaie.

It came in a 70-10 ballot for a full employment bill so stripped of any meaning that Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley, who voted for it, remarked: "This guarantees everyone out of work a job and the right to find one if he can. As I read it, the government will help, but (only if it is convenient for the government to do so." The only opponents were ul-traconservative Republicans and Democrats who opposed even this minimum federal guarantee. Democrats who like Truman, and want to stand by the administration, shouted "Aye," although they knew the legislation did not meet 50 per cent of the President's demand. HTLLMAN The explanation lies in their belief that he went to bat so strongly for these measures because of political pressure applied by Sidney Hill-man's congress of industrial organizations.

It galled them to think that "our Harry" would bow to a man who had tried in recent elections to so many of them to private life. Most unfortunate feature of all from the White House standpoint is that the labor-ites are not satisfied with his vocal support. Unless he, can. force or persuade the congress to go all out fcr the CIO program and he cannot, according to present-day sentiment they will continue to plague him With pay raise demands, strikes and other moves that jeopardize his whole reconversion program.

George Taylor, (Snyder) oL Northampton county. "LIKE of the most useful and talented Palatines, he came to Pennsylvania by way of Ireland. Greatest of these was the widow Van Dor-Sehouren, the mother of William Penn, Barbara Heck, a founder of Methodism, the Pepper (Peffer) family, according to a speech made by G.

W. Pepper before the friendly sons of St. Patrick, Philadelphia, on March 17, 1923, the Wayne family, as stated by Caleb Parry Wayne, 'Mad Anthony's' historian grandson, the Quig-leys, Gsorge Taylor and hosts ot others. As many Redempt-ioners sold on the docks for their passage money came from Ireland among these the Gil-lcspies, maternal ancestors of 'Stonewall' Jackson, Loro Alt-ham, and from England, Elizabeth Maxwell, a niece of Daniel DeFoe, author of 'Robin- son Crusoe." De Foe survived his wife and children, and left his estate to his niece in Chester county, Pennsylvania, whose blood I have every reason to believe flows in the veins today of many worthwhile Pennsylvania families. "IN an old history of Chester county, no doubt, it can be found, in popular Dr.

'Atlas of edition of 1934, about a century after the publication of the Chester county volume, gives Nottingham village a population of 30 souls; one wonders what it is in September of 1945, perhaps 35. Continuing, the article states: 'Nottingham village is situated not a great distance from the line between Pennsylvania and Maryland, on the Pennsylvania A bit of history is revealed in the title of lot No. 35, which was conveyed to Andrew Job.

It would appear that Lissabet (Elizabeth), Maxwell, a niece of Daniel DeFoe, the great English novelist, in consequence of a romantic love affair which was permanently broken up by her mother, secretly left her home and embarked for Pennsylvania, and being absolutely without funds, bargained with the ship's captain to be sold as an indentured servant on her arrival in Philadelphia to ieimburse him for her passage money. Accordingly, on her arrival, in the fall of the year, Lissabet with a number of others, was put up for sale on the Philadelphia docks. A sprightly lass, with the large, sad gipsy eyes so like her uncle, and the same fine aquiline nose, with a self-reliance which withheld any desire to send word around the corner to her uncle's warm admirer, young Benjamin Franklin, who would have gladly redeemed her, and considering her eastern-type beauty might have married her. This innate courage enabled her to steer clear of the pitfalls which befell many lovely girls sold on the docks, as described in her uncle Daniel's 'Novel of the Redemptioners, 'Moll Flanders." "ON the long voyage, Lissabet had only one book with her, DeFoe's 'The Apparition of Mrs. which she read to her fellow passengers when the sea was calm enough to do so.

"ANDkEW Job, a farmer of Nottingham, being in the city, attended the sale, and struck by the girl's apparent superiority to her surroundings, to say nothing of her rare good looks, bought her for a term of years, and brought her to his home, where in 1725, like so many comely bound-servants, sh became the wife of Thomas Job, his son, In the autumn of the year of her marriage, she wrote her Uncle Daniel acquainting him with her situation, and got a reply stating that her mother was now dead, and despite her flitting, had left her all her furniture, as well as a valuable property, to be given her if ever she should be found alive.

yellow-looking woman, passionately fond of flowers, whose mind dwelt in the far distant past, and delighted in By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON A lot of back-stage argument has been taking place regarding future disposition of the many valuable Nazi documents seized In Germany. Some of these may have military value and should remain secret for a while. On the other hand, many important Nazi files pertain to economic and social matters of tremendous Interest to the American public, which may help to prevent another war. It is the belief of many government Insiders that the American public Is entitled to see them. One such document pertaining to cooperation between Standard Oil of New Jersey and.

I. G. Farben, the Nazi cartel, recently was found in Germany. The document has been in the hands of foreign economic official William Stone, who has refused all efforts made by newspapermen to have the document made public. However, this columnist has now obtained the full text.

The document Indicates that American businessmen unwittingly aided Germany's preparation for war. It will be called that the justice department brought an anti-trust action against Standard Oil of New Jersey for making a deal with I. G. Farben before Pearl Harbor to keep synthetic rubber patents away from the American public. After the justice department brought its action, Standard Oil took full-page ads in American newspapers defending the cartel agreement with the Nazi firm, and claiming that Standard Oil got more out of the deal than did the Nazis.

FARBEN SAYS NO When the Nazis read these statements, I. G. Farben officials proceeded to refute Standard's claim. I. G.

Farben's arguments were written down in a confidential memo signed by top chemist Goldberg, with Doctors Pier and Zorn concurring. The document was discovered by Aaron L. Tietel-baum and Eric L. Meyer of the U. S.

army. Commenting on the claims of Robert Haslam, Standard Oil's top chemist, that the United States got more than Germany from the secret contract, the I. G. Farben document states that when it came to synthetic rubber, the Americans did not "receive anything important to war economy." Then the I. G.

Farben memo proceeds to make this interesting statement: "Besides, they could have procured the patents without our agreements in wartime; for during a war a state will never be kept from production by enemy patents." The Farben memo then added: "A further fact must be taken into account, which for obvious reasons did not appear in Haslam's article. As a consequence of our contracts with the Americans, we received from them above and beyond the agreement many valuable contributions for the synthesis and improvement of motor fuels and lubricating oils, which just now during the war are most useful to us, and we also received other advantages from them. "Without lead tetra-ethyl, the present method of warfare would be unthinkable. The fact lhat since the beginning of the war we could produce lead tetra-ethyl is entirely due to the circumstance that shortly before the Americans had presented us with the production plants complete with experimental knowledge. Thus the difficult work of development (one need only recall the poisonous property of lead tetra-ethyl, which caused many deaths in the U.

S. was spared us, since we could take up the manufacture of this product together with al! the experience that the Americans had gathered over long years" On the subject of lubricating oils, the I. G. Farben memo was generous in praise for the excellent work done by Americans. "In this connection," the memo said, "we obtained not only the experiences of Standard, through Standard, the experience of General Motors and other large American motor companies as well." NAZI SECRECY.

Discussing high-octane gasoline, the I. G. Farben memo discloses how the Nazis "maintained strictest secrecy" when it came to telling Standard Oil officials what they were doing. The memo states: "Mr. Haslam further declares that the German aircraft industry In contrast to the American and English, could not have been changed over to the use of iso-octane.

From this, the conclusion might be drawn that we did not know the process for iso-octane. However, we used other methods to produce iso-octane and chose to proceed by way of isobntyl alcohol, which is produced from carbon monoxide and hvdrogen. that is to say, on a pure coal basis. Apparently this fact is unknown to the Americans At any rate, we maintained the strictest secrecy in all negoti-t'or. about the fad that we produce iso-octane on an in By RAY TUCKER FAILURES A real breakdown of our administration of conquered peoples has occurred in Germany and the calling of General George S.

Patton, on Gen. 'Ike' Eisenhower's carpet did not reveal the Whole story. Not half the details of our occupational failures has been told. General Patton's use of former Nazis in administrative posts is the most specticular, but only a typical, instance of our European blunders. "Blond and Guts" merely happens to be the most outspoken leader.

EASIER Confidential reports suggest that military men are poorly equipped for this postwar assignment of supervision. Their god is order, discipline and efficiency; they detest slovenliness, weakness and inde-cisiveness. They found that Hitler's former henchmen possessed the qualities they admire, whereas the suppressed and hounded members of the opposition were' like dazed men who saw the sunlight for the first time after emerging from' caves in which they had lived for years. Naturally, General 'Patton and his associates preferred to play along with jtlie Hitlerites. It made easier' their own command and, perhaps, brought nearer the day when they could ship for the states.

Subordinate officers, eager to return to their families, likewise entrusted local administration to individuals with knowledge and experience in handling municipal problems, even though they had been members of Nazi organizations and governments. The Patton incident, together with revelations that our occupying forces have mishandled Jewish people in Germany, may turn out to be a blessing. It has convinced Washington, including Mr. Acheson, that any earnest effort to re-educate the Germans, and the Japanese in the ways of democracy and decency will have to be entrusted to educators, religious teachers, books, newspapers, magazines, movies and similar machinery. The revolution cannot be accomplished by the brass hats.

DISAPPOINTED Although the newest member of the supreme court ex-Senator Harold Hitz Burton of Ohio is classified as a liberal, his appointment has disappointed the so-called radical faction on the high bench. They do not think that he will go along with their demonstrated program of rewriting the law instead of trying to interpret the intent and declaration of congress. Mr. Burton has shown a desire to study the facts and reach a decision on that basis. This trait, which he revealed as a member of the former Truman committee, attracted the Presioent and is partially responsible for his elevation.

He may turn out to be a middle-of-the-roader, but it is doubtful whether he will join the so-called radicals. This group, which is headed by Justice Hugo Black, has been in the ascendency, and the loss of Owen J. Roberts strengthens its control. Thvro members have censistently opposed its philosophy Chief Justice Harlan Stone, the resigned Mr. Roberts and Robert H.

The following paragraphs are for residents of Williamsburg. Do you remember the old Snively grammar and primary school in Williamsburg that through the years 1890, some years before and for many years later, served as the building of education for the youngsters of that community? Do you remember the grammar school teacher, G. S. Miller, and the stern teaching of Mary M.

Rhule, as primary teacher? Perhaps you will remember some of the students thai attended that school through the years 1890-1893. The grammar school, registered such names as Eddie Rose, Robert Eastep, Mary Detwiler, Clarence Sor-rick, Flora Garner, Albert Loose, Hattie Lower, Harry Eastep, Nannie Shelly, Austin Snively, Caroline Kifer and Andrew Detwiler. In the primary department was Bubbie Lower, Joyce Brumbaugh, Viola Brumbaugh, Emory Loose, John Shelly, Mel-vin Shelly, George Detwiler, Fred Sorrick and Harry Kifef.
