is producing 300,000 tons of gasoline. That is the value of the installation. These are expenditures but not losses. That is my opinion which I think I expressed when I tried to clarify this case.

Q. In other words, if a project like Leuna and synthetic fuel turns out successfully, then these expenditures are not losses? *

REDIRECT EXAMINATION

DR. FLAECHSNER (counsel for defendant Buetefisch): Dr. Buetefisch, you were questioned yesterday about the Leuna memorandum. I don't know whether you said that this so-called memorandum was prepared for printing or not —

DEFENDANT BUETEFISCH: Well, I believe I went into the subject perhaps too much yesterday. This is a draft which is not published. It was considered a draft and it is a rather free statement of Dr. Greiling. That is the way I recall it. There were a few copies which were prepared as a present for the directorate.

RECROSS-EXAMINATION 
 
MR. SPRECHER: Dr. Buetefisch, the little booklet on "Twenty Five Years of the Leuna Plant" which you had in your hands yesterday — I am not talking about the exhibit which is a reproduction, but the original which you had in your own hands — was a bound booklet, was it not?

DEFENDANT BUETEFTSCH: Yes, it had been bound in our printing shop at the plant and it was bound and printed there. It was nothing that was made public. We did that in the printing shop.

* At this point the sound track failed and the Court was recessed until the following day.
