G. Farben organization, greatest of Germany's industrial combines, was ordered by the four-power control council recently. It directed that some 300 Farben plants and its vast financial assets be seized at once. Properties and funds of I. G. Farj ben, which ranked-with such inter- ( national industrial giants as Du Pont I and British Imperial Chemical, will | be taken over as reparations or for ; such disposition as the Allies see fit. The control council also formally j proclaimed the abolition of the National Socialist party and the labyrinth of Nazi bureaus and subdivisions which directed every phase of German life. The order prohibited any attempt to reform Nazi groups and provided for confiscation of e.V party funds, records and real estate Lt. Gen. Lucius Clay, U. S. dep uty representative on the control council, said the seizure of "I. G Farben was agreed upon by th> en ordinating committee made im or American, French, British and So viet representatives. The decision was unanimous and does not require formal council approval, he said. The owners and stockholders of I. G. Farben, which produced a large portion of Germany's war materials, will receive no future profits from those plants which are still operating and there will be no compensation for the seizure. Approximately three-fourths qf the Farben German factories are still intact despite Allied bombing. What United States Made For War on Axis Enemies WASHINGTON, D.
