Patents Group Studies Case Prominent Cartel Claims At Senate
The Senate patents committee examined charges of a conspiracy to control synthetic rubber production. C R Starnes, an independent oil operator from Gladewater Texas, alleged major oil firms and insiders manipulate government and industry through patent pools and cartels to block competition and sustain select interests. He named Frank A Howard of Standard Oil Development Co and Richard J Dearborn of Texas Co as leaders in contracts with I G Farben and other firms, arguing a postwar fifth column aims to seize control of resources and production.
