It was designed to give Standard a ‘‘world monopoly” over petroleum products and to give Farben similar control over chemicals, he said.But in 1935, the German government decided to use the agreements for political and military purposes, he continued, and, as a result, Farben refused to inform Standard of synthetic rubber processes and declined to permit manufacture of the product in theUnited States.Truman has characterized thisarrangement as “treason” and bitterly castigated Standard officials.They will be given an opportunity to answer the charges next Tuesday.Standard’s president, W. S. Far-ish, said in a formal statement Arnold’s assertion that Farben was withholding information on German synthetic rubber was “untrue,” adding that the synthetic Standard developed was “obviously of no value to Germany” because its main raw material was oil which the Nazis lacked.He said the information was given Farben in 1938, an actionhe described as “entirely consistentwith the relation of the parties and could not possibly have had any political or military implications.” All exchange of information was discontinued in January, 1940, he said.Standard Oil Co.

Scores were reported moving east today in an effort to get places of their choice before the Army places them in reception centers and resettlement areas.The Army this week also placed all Japanese as well as German and Italian aliens under curfew restrictions which forbade their tra* veling outside a five-mile radius without permission and which required them to remain in their homes between 8 p. m. and 6 a. m. nightly. Superceding a previous Department of Justice curfew order, the Army edict cancelled all previous exemptions and refused to grant new exemptions.L. I. Hewes, Jr., regional director for Federal Farm Security Administration, called for American farmers to take over 8000 Japanese and Japanese-American farms totalling 225,000 acres and producing vital crops.
