494.    ----------------.[CHAUX, R.]  Dismantling of German Plants Canceled.  Vol. 61, 1949, p. 799.

                  Synthetic fuel and rubber plants removed from the dismantling list are those of Bayer at Leverkusen; Chemische Werke Huels; Gelsenberg Benzine A.-G.; Hydrierwerke Scholven A.-G., Gelsenkirchen-Buer; Ruhroel A.-G., Bottrop; Ruhrchemie A.-G., Oberhausen-Holten; Gewerkschaft Viktor, Castrop-Rauxel; Krupp-Treibstoff-Werke, Wanne-Eickel; Steinkohlenbergwerk Rheinpreussen, Moers; Dortmunder Paraffin-Werke Dortmund; and Chemische Werke, Essener Steinkohle, Bergkamen. The synthetic fuel plants of Gewerkschaft Viktor and Krupp Treibstoff-Werke, which were to close down by the end of the year, are still in operation.  The German interests expect that it is only a matter of time before the synthetic and hydrogenation plants will be permitted to resume production.
