СОРТ . ^ Ли» 21*. 191*7 WORAUDOf ТО ALL PAHBSH ilRSOMKL Bet Material to Эе obtain** in Washington and Haw York for Farben Trial There folio»* a description of project* which oust be started immediately and a list of doeumenta whioh must be obtained for the Par ben trial. Where the urgency of the assignment i* not specifically indicated below, it* oompara- tie* imediaey should be determined by ita location in the indictment. It 1* anticipated that the proof at the trial will be preoented in substantially tie ■мае order in which it is set forth in the indictment. So, for example, the material described below which is required cm Ausotarita will have a slightly lover priority than the water ial required on Espionage and Propaganda, 411 ah latter aeotion will be presented tc the Court in Count I. Despite the fore¬ going, 1 hop* that there will be enough people who can cower these assignment* without the need for allocating priori Use. At heat, there will only be a couple weeks margin between Counts. The Farben trial will begin on or about Л1у 15* It takes from one week to two week* to trananit dominant* to Nuernberg. After they haws reached Nuernberg, another two week*, at least, is required before translation* can be made and the material processed in final form for presentation at Court. Aooordingly, wherever possible, try to borrow the actual document for a few months. The photostating at thia end rtiould be obviated wherever possible. All documents should be given to Mr. Richard (XLbeter, War Crises Branch, Civil Affaire Division for trarmnittal to Nuernberg. All work will be performed during the next three weeks under the immediate supervision of Mr. Paul Qentt. When he return* to Nuernberg, Mr. Qlbeter will designate one person to supervise and coordinate the activities of the analysts. Please bear in Bind thatt 1. Meat of the aateriel described below is essential to the prosecution1 s priaa feels ease, which means that it must be forwarded to Nuernberg within the next few weeks. 2. It is extmnely doubtful whether documentation which is not forwarded to Nuernberg within tne next two months will ever get into the record ai all. 3# The Farben ease from a historical, social, and legal view¬ point is one of the most important oases that has ever been tried and it will only be tried once. Everyone working on Farben should imnediately obtain a copy of tr e indict¬ ment and study it carefully. Each person should have a copy of ?arts 7 and 10 of the Kilgore Hearings of 1?1£ which contain the Farben Report of December 19b5 and the exhibits thereto. Before forwarding any documents be sire they are not already contained in Part 10.
