Fonner German industrialist Dies

BUENOS ALMS. Feb. 3 - (AP) - Fritz Thyuen. 77. once Germ- s.ny's richest industrialist and fi- nancial sponsor of Hitler's rise to power, died here today.

Thyssen arrived in Buencs Aires Jan. i. 1&0. to visit his daughter. He. recently underwent an opera- tion. T

e died at hisdau.gi.te.s home. Death was attributed to a heart at- tuck.

Thyssen's career passed thmuph many stages. ranging from that of 6cnnany's richest industrialist to the poverty of a concentration camp

inmate.

He man industrialist by inher- iitlnce. a son of August 'myssen mo was regarded as the creator of Germany's modern industry. Wlis the wealth he inherited and shrewd- ijyo an. snted. plus a strong na-

nalism. he was well suited to fin- ance the rise of Hitlu to power. Thyssen himself raised about ll.- 200,000 for the 1083 election which swept Hitler into power.

Hitler appointed the industrialist. a state counsellor and gave him a seat on the Government's Economic Board. Subsequently he t ame suprune economic authority in western Germany except for agric- ulture.

Then their relations cooled. -

Two months after the Second World Whr broke out Tlhyssen was in Incsrno. living in exile and sit- ence. Antt-Nasi sources said he had bought his way out of Germany by turning over his entire fortune to the Nazis.

Noose Tightens On lied Troops Caught lllrap

By ROBERT EUNSON

TOKYO. Feb. 9 - (Friday) - (AP) - Enemy resistance on the road to Seoul crumbled Thursday as two American divisions tighten- ed the noose on Chinese Reds trap- ped south of the Han River in Western Korea.

Tanks of the 11.3. 25th Division raced -within four mills of the city's western outskirts and lobbed shelL-2 into the fire-blackened carcass of the old capital.

Punching ahead steadily from the scutzhtwest. Pucrio Rlcan infantry- men of the U. 8. 3rd Division storm- ed a high hill 4'5 miles from Red- heid Seoul. Howitzers thumped Chinese positions north of the Han.

Chinese troops. caught between the guns and bayonet: of these two divisional columns, face almost cer- tain destruction.

Eznemy losses, mostly Chinese and mostly in the west. already have exceeded 57.000 by official estimate since the mghth Army began its limited offensive Jan. 23.

The Eighth Army said in an an- nouncement Thursday:

"Destruction of communist forces in the pocket south of the Han ii. the western sector. the objective of the current phase of the limited at- fensive. is proceeding and may sum up as a sizeable victory in terms of enemy lcsses.

"No further implications should be attached to the present situa- tion."

That was an Eighth Army re- minder from bhe ccmman-' . Lt- Cen. Matthew B. Ridgway. that the objective of the present drive was to kill enemy troops - not neces- sarily to capture Seoul or drivn north of tire Han River in the west.

A British observer put it in this crisp fashion: "” "

"R.idgwoy's interests are hcmlcid- at. not geographical."

However, the Allies made geo- graphical gains as well. Advnllcris Thursday along a 76-min front ex- tending eastward from the Yellow sea ranged from 2'4 miles in the west to eight miles in the ea.st-csn- tral sector. They have gained more than a score of miles since the of- fensive began.

OTTAWA. Feb. 8 -(O?) - Belgium was announced today as the country which will receive

.Canada's second major shipment

of British-type arms to Europe. Holland got the first. Defence Minister Ciaxton old

the Commons the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has selected Belgium as the country to receive equipment for an infantry divis- ion. Shiprnent of enough 15- pounder guns for a Luxembourg artillery regiment was announced recently too.

-The Minister said Canada will send arms for a third division in time but it has not yet been de- cided wtheisher they will be offered before Canadahasreceived United States equipment to replace quantity sent to Holland.

The background is that Canada is sending Europe British-type arms free and is replacing them by purchase of U. S. ':srmL.1t costs nearly to replace the arms for a division.

Trade Minister Howe told the Commons today arrangements are being made for Canada to make some of her own U. 8.-type arms. He said the U. 8.. Britain. Canada and France have been named by

the Treaty Organization to de- cide on standard-type weapons that will be recognized by all N. A.T.ID. powers.

A platoon wireless not develop- ed by Canada is believed to be the first such piece of equipment ac- cenied bv all countries.

Mr. Claxton had indicated that Canada will send Europe enough arms for four divisions in all.

Will Be Eis Sweeping Than Those In The ii. S.

OTTAWA. Feb. 8 -(OP) -The Canadian Government has under sctive study" pricecontrol meas- ures described as "alternative" to the 'sweeping restrictions imposed in the second World War.

Trade Minister Howe disclosed this today in the Commons during a review of Cs.nada's preparedness program and the state of the country's economic health.

He did not specify the hat- ure of the alternative steps. but there was prompt specu- lation that he had in mind some system of flexible ceil- ings, allocations. permits and other measures which would keep living costs at an even

,keel without the use of cell- ings as rigid as those applied

in 1941.

While he indicated it is not the Government's "present" intention to impose over-sli price and ws-:zc controls. he ssid he was "not rul- ing out the possibility that sweep- ing prlce control measures might be needed. should the developing situation make action necessary

Mr. Howe said the introduction of stand-by control legislation should not be taken to mean the Government's "present intention is to impose,over-all price and wage controls."

And he added:

"But it may well be that these measures should be different in form from those that were ap- plled during the last war.

"Alternative measures now are under active study by the Gov- ernment."

He made these other points:

1. The Government is work- ing out a plan of accelerated depreciation to cover expans- ions of private industry which are needed for defence, but which would have little peace- time value.

2. The Government may provide capital assistance for s few types of expansions.

.1. Further restrictive orders soon may be issued to ensure supplies of structural steel for psseniial construction projects.

4. Canada, the United stat- es, Britain and France have formed a committee to decide on standardization of weapons in be used by all countries in the North Atlantic alliance.

ii. The U. S. is expected to buy aiotwooooo worth of mil- itary equipment and supplies from Canada during the 1951 fiscal year.
