WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (U. P.) — © Asst. Atty. Gen. Wendell Berge to-

day charged at least one American: firm with aiding Germany to rearm| § efter the last war through cartel? and demanded -unot|

agreements, only an end to such agreements

but the breaking up of German|:

trusts by the allies, In testimony before the senate

Kilgore committee on war mobili-

zation, Berge cited a secret agreement between the Bausch and

Y., and Carl Zeiss of Jena, Ger-

“evade the spirit and the letter of the Versailles treaty” forbuding Germany to rearm. “If these agreements can ‘be continued, revived or renewed in the future,” he declared, “this country can win the war but Germany will have gone far towards the winning of the peace.” ‘Must Break Monopolies’

Berge said it would not be enough

merely to prevent resumption of |“

cartels—"if we are going to destroy Germany's military power . . . we must develop and apply a program to control and to break up the monopolistic firms of Germany, This, he said, would. involve the. following elements: 1. “We must acquire . . . patents and technological know-how which the German firms acquired during the war, These must be made available to the American people. 2. “The future work of German laboratories must be made available

man. laboratories which continue to exist must operate in full view of the rest of the world with adequate safeguards so that their discoveries cannot be kept secret, 3. “We must break up the German firms. Firms like I.-G. Farben e + « should at the very least be split up into separate companies and these not permitted to come together again. 4. “Some German firms’ probably ought to be physically removed

Products Vital to War

Turning to the Bausch and Lomb Agreement with Zeiss, Berge pointed out that the products of these firms -periscopes, range finders, bombsights and gunsights—were of primary importance in war. He said the American firm gave U. 8. military information to its German partner which it had been ordered to keep in strictest secrecy by the U. 8. army and navy. Bausch and Lomb was so conce that this disclosure should nof become known, he added, that it told its agent in Germany to ask Zeiss to “keep these reports in strictest com fidence and . . , in a separate file under lock and key.”

COUNTY TAX RATE SET AT 43.7 CENTS

"The county government tax rate for next year was fixed by the county council today at 43.7 cents

rate despite an increase of about $70,000 in the general fund budget. The council yesterday adopted a 1945 budget totaling $2,107,000, compared to $1937,000 appropriated this year. The reduction in the rate despite the increase in the budget was effected through the county welfare department's decision to use some of its cash working balance next year, thus reducing its levy more than two cents to 9.1 cents for next year. The entire budget and rate schedulés will be submitted to the county adjustment board for final approval. Adjustment board hearings are scheduled to sar about Sept. 15.

At that point the Americans, at the present pace, would be less than 48 hours’ march from the German border near Mulhouse, where the

Rhine separates the Black forest and the Vosges mountains.

In the drive to Arbois, the Amer-}

icans sealed off more than half the Franco-Swiss frontier. Although the main U. 8. forces were thrusting toward the gap, one column pushed east from Lons-le-Sunier to within 15 miles of Lake Geneva and captured St. Claude, internationally known for the manufacture of smoking pipes. A communique disclosed that the U. 8. destroyer Ludlow bombarded enemy strongpoints along the Mediterranean coast between Cape Martin and Monaco, near the Italian border, with “very good” results. There have been no reports of American troops operating along the coast since last week when they

captured Contes, seven miles from Italy.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS * Seripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—In this amazing conflict which has already seen s0 many startling shifts and reversals, it would not be surprising if the Soviet Union suddenly gave Poland the Bulgarian treatment. Moscow has many crows to pick with Poland, both territorial and political.. She may yet decide—as she did with Bulgaria—that a state of war with that country might facilitate a settlement, speedily and the way she wants it. Since the outbreak of the war in September, 1939, Soviet-Polish relations have undergone numerous somersaults, At that time relations were excellent. Back in ‘1932 they had signed a treaty of nonaggression and in 1934 had renewed it until 1945. On Aug. 23, 1939, however—just a week before Germany attacked Poland—Moscow signed a similar non-aggression . treaty with Berlin. Three weeks later, the Russian army marched..dnto Poland to rendezvous with Hitler's pangers midway. Where they met became

“Warsaw no longer exists as the capital of Poland,” the Russian note to the Polish minister in Moscow said at the time. “Poland has lost all her industrial areas and cultural centers, This means the Polish state and its government, in fact, have ceased to exist.” 5 In June, 1941, came another dramatic about-face.” This time, Germany attacked Russia, Promptly, the Polish government in London offered its hand and Russia took it. But even this rapprochement did not long endure, Early in 1943, the Soviet press began a campaign against Poland, accusing her of “inimical tendencies.” She had, it was said, ambitions to extend her frontiers eastward to the Dneiper and the Black sea. This the Poles denied, saying all they wanted was to retain their frontiers -s they existed at the outset of the war. Moscow replied that this proved that. the Poles did not intend to “recognize the historic rights of the Ukrainians agd Bielo-Russian peoples,” and the dispute waxed hotter than ever.

Russ Cut Relations ret In May, Mospow severed relations with the Polish government in London. Germany had accused the Russians of killing 10,000 Polish officers and burying them in Katyn forest. Moscow countered, charging the Germans with the deed.

some neutral body investigate. Poland's mild suggestion was widely regarded as a pretext, rather than the cause, of the Russo-Polish break. As long as Poland remained her ally, Russia could hardly annex half her territory or demand that the Polish government be made over to suit Russian requirements. That's where relations between the two neighbors stand. Today, they are certainly more strained than Soviet-Bulgarian : - relations were until a few days ago when the two countries were still ex«|. changing diplomats.
