Conference at the I.G. Farbenindustrie, and checking of the transfer
of the ethyl chloride plant to Schkopau, ordered by the Military Economics
Staff.
The part scheduled for removal (1 unit of 150 tons per month)
has already been dismounted and is on the way to Schkopau. With reference to
supplementary equipment which is still necessary, the Military Economics Staff
will try to speed up delivery.
There was also a thorough discussion
relative to the materials which are to be removed immediately from Ludwigshafen
and the places where they may be placed for safekeeping. As far as possible,
the consumer is to receive the materials. In the case of necessary storage in
newly provided storage facilities, the additional costs which arise will have
to be reimbursed by the Reich. |
