HITLER'S FINANCIER ~ STILL HAS HOPES

Would Like to Would Like in Represent Germany

Before United Nations. By EDWARD P. MORGAN

Times Foreign Correspondent

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 24.—Hhermann Schmitz president of the I. G. Farben Industries—which was to have been one of the economic keystones of Hitler's New Order —says his first post-war ambition is to become Germany's

representative before the United Nations.

The 64-year-old tycoon, now in American custody, hardly

will be allowed to plan his future because, as one of the Nazi regime's top industrial ists, he faces eventual trial as a war criminal. But a seat on the world security council would be his most cnerished desire, and his second choice would be an ambassadorship in London, Paris, or preferably, Washington. During an interview Schmitz readily discussed a variety of topics ranging from world problems to his private affairs, Neck Important Now If you think that German hopes to rule the world are dead, come and chat with Herr Schmitz. Right now, of course, his first consideration is his own neck, though

it may never be completely unraveled, It was Farben, according to documentary evidence, which was leading the way economically for der fuehrer’s new order.

Looks Like Musician

Yet Schmitz looks more like a benign German music master than one of the Nazis’ craftiest planners. “The German people know this time that they have been defeated,” Schmitz said, “but they do not know the reasons why.

“I feel in my soul that I should go to the Nuernberg trials and listen to the testimony to find out for myself the full reason. I want to understand what was the mystety behind Hitler, I think that is very

In the opinion of experts, he might have emerged as second only to Hitler “if Germany had won the war, The Wehrmacht was almost exclusively dependent on Farben for buna —- synthetic rubber — and fits chemical supplies. According to evidence, now In American hands, which may be the basis of senate hearings in Washington this winter, Farben acted as an innocent screen for Nazi spies all over the world.

He argued that the Versdilles treaty’s failure was because it went too far, But he refused to say that the allies are going too far today in the actual occupation of Germany.

WARNS WOMEN FACE JOB LOSS

WPB Adviser Says 16 Million Need. Employment.

—Rosle, the war-time riveter, had better make up her mind quickly about a peacetime job or she's likely to find herself “on the sidelines” in the post-war economy— with the ‘breadline only a step AWAY, : That's the conclusion of Miss Margaret Hickey, adviser to the war production board, who just returned from a five-weeks' trip to Britain where she studied labor conditions. Miss Hickey said that both American and British women had a “willingness” to wait and see what the post-war period would offer in the way of jobs. “Women in this country had better wake up,” she sald. “It's not such a big step from the sidelines to the breadlines.” Women’s right to work during peacetime already is under fire, Miss Hickey said, and “considerable social pressure” is being exerted to get working women back to the kitchen. 16,000,000 Need Jobs She said the answer for the American working woman was a program of full- employment in which women would be considered an integral part of the working force. At least ° 16,000000 American women must continue to work after the war, she said, because’ they either are self-supporting or they must help their families. Miss Hickey said Britain was taking a “more realistic attitude” toward the problem by setting up rehabilitation and training courses for working women. She said the British also plan to continue their wartime day nursery program which already has been

TOKYO, Sept. 24.—Japan’s weird bomb ballgens, which landed in more than 100 American localities, were designed by desperate inexperienced young military scientists, Dr. Hideji Yagi, Nippon’s most noted technologist implied. ; I talked with Dr. Yagi at his modest suburban home here where he has been living in retirement since he and the Jap military reached a final disagreement six months ago, > The 59-year-old scientist, silky voiced and wearing an exceptionally well-pressed Palm Beach suit, smiled broadly when asked if he knew anything about the balloons. “Oh, yes,” he answered, “I have read about them-—toys, simply toys. One of my former students, who was working for the army, came to

I thought most of the problems they submitted to us were trivial and not. at all important to the war.” Despite these handicaps, Jap scientists were successful in making progress in some fields, but manufacturers did not have the facilities to produce the necessary commodities, Yagi added. The scientist pioneer in radar recalled the time when he submitted an improvement in this field for government approval. “Our military strategists could not understand it,” he wryly recalled, “and a manufacturer took one look at it and said, ‘it’s too hard to construct such a complicated machine’.” Considered Electric Rays Yagi added that army and navy officers never had permitted him to

the general public sent to the army and navy suggesting weapons to win the war.” Yagi talked at length about the cleavage between the military and the scientists, which made such naive experiments possible, “Before the outbreak of the war, you people organized a committee for scientific mobilization,” he explained. “I strongly advocated a similar organization here, which would be accepted and recognized by the military—but they were not willing.” “As a result, Japan's outstanding scientists never were taken into the confidence of the army or navy, who were jealous of their own prestige. Instead, young semi-schooled and inexperienced science students were commissioned in the armed forces. Established research men remained civilians and were used only as advisers. “As advisers, we were asked to

At the end of the war Japanese scientists, like those in Germany were experimenting with material which would make planes and ships undetectable by radar, The principal experimentation along those lines here, Yagi said, were with rubber and carbon black. Other research was being carried on to a perfect a bomb, which would automatically adjust its course and a torpedo which would explode near the target without contact and the use of electric rays as death weapons.
