24 Accused of Plotting Last War
MERNBERG AP A 20 000 word war crimes indictment charging 24 members of the I G Farben combine with cartel arrangements crafted to weaken the United States as an arsenal of democracy was filed with the American military tribunal. Brig Gen Telford Taylor presented the indictment detailing Farben actions to prepare Germany for war and its role in waging it. The 24 are accused of supporting Hitler’s aims, using slave labor, mass murder and plundering private property. Top officials named include Carl Krauch Hermann Schmitz and Georg von Schnitzler. Taylor called the defendants the core war criminals whose guilt must be exposed to protect future peace. The trial will start next month as Taylor also prosecutes Friedrich Flick and others from Krupp and related firms. He aims to indict most cases by February. Farben once controlled 400 German firms and 500 abroad and used cartels to hinder US war readiness and aid Nazi aims. The indictment cites suppression of US production of magnesium tetrazene synthetic nitrogen and other materials. It notes a cartel with Alumin ium Company of America and Dow to limit US output and exports to Europe. The Tetrazene matter is noted as well.
