IG-Farben Shareholders to Approve
$7,150,000 Claim by Nazi Victims
FRANKFURT, (JTA)—A spe-
cial shareholders' meeting of the
IG-Farben chemical corporation
will be convened next month,
to approve a $7,150,000 settle-
ment of all claims from slave
laborers exploited by the firm,
during the war, in the synthetic
rubber plant at Buna-Monowitz,
it was revealed by corporation
president Dr. Walter Schmidt.
Negotiations between the di-
rectors of the firm and the Con-
ference on Jewish Material
Claims Against Germany
reached a concrete stage early
this year and it is understood
that a mutually acceptable draft
accord may be concluded within
the next six weeks, in which
case ratification will be sought
from the shareholders' meeting.
Should agreement with the
Conference ,b e delayed, t h e
shareholders 'will be asked to
authorize the directors' signa-
ture of a settlement of the
$7,150,000.
The difficulties that still stand
in the way of a contract between
IG-Farben and the Claims Con-
ference are believed- to be con-
cerned not primarily with the
amount to be made available,
but with such questions as the
eligibility for compensation of
deceased slave laborers' de-
pendents and the guarantee,
upon which IG-Farben insists,
that no other claims or suits will
be filed after' the $7,150,000 has
been paid.
When some shareholders pro-
tested at the regular annual
meeting against the willingness
of the S IG-Farben management
to enter into a settlement, Dr.
Schmidt explained that, unless
such an agreement is reached,
the Wollheim test suit against
IG-Farben might not be finally
decided in the courts until 1961
or later.
While the litigation is in prog-
ress, he pointed out, IG-Farben
cannot proceed with its plan , to
issue new Huels Holding Com-
pany shares in exchange for the
present IG-Farben "liquidation
shares." The IG - Farben cor-
poration, which upon Allied in-
sistence has been in the process
of liquidation for a number of-
years, still lists undistributed
assets of $85,000,000. •
Norbert Wollheim, a former
Jewish slave laborer and now a
New York resident, won a civil
suit for $2,400 in back pay and
damages through a 1953 lower
court decision, which IG-Farben
appealed. The Frankfurt Su-
perior Court heard the case in
early 1955 and has had it under
advisement ever since. It urged
both parties to seek a com-
promise settlement. The final
adjudiction of the Wollheim suit
has been accepted by the IG-
Farben trust as binding for the
2,400 other claims filed in the
meantime.
