Allies To See Unit Of Farben Industry
Frankfurt, Germany one step toward breaking up the I.G. Farben chemical empire will be taken soon by offering one of its units for sale, Maj. Gen. George Hass said yesterday. Plans for dismantling the cartel disclosed by the deputy US military governor say the British, Americans and Germans have agreed on selling three self sufficient units of the Farben concern. One unit to be sold has not yet been determined, Hass said, and he declined to estimate the value of any unit. The three units are centered in the American zone and would be a separate operating entity. Agreement among British and American authorities on disposing of Farben properties was tentatively reached as part of a broader plan in their occupation zones.
