The decision was approved by former President Herbert Hoover, who had received Hermann
Schmitz at the White House in 1931. Hoover's report at the end of an investigative trip urged
that I.G. and Krupp should be enabled to rebuild Germany.
Those few who raised voices against such goings-on were dismissed by the military arm as
"commies." Draper still had some critics. Alexander Sacks, formerly of James Stewart Martin's
staff, charged before the Ferguson Commission on decartelization in 1948 that in every way
"the policies of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations have been flagrantly disregarded by
the very individuals who were charged with the highest responsibility for carrying them out."
Sacks was dismissed.
As for General Aniline and Film, that indestructible organ of The Fraternity, all efforts against it
by Morgenthau and his successors in the Treasury proved futile. Robert F. Kennedy as
Attorney General protected the company from dissolution -- in his father's tradition. On March
9, 1965, GAF was sold in the largest competitive auction in Wall Street history. The buyer,
offering $340 million, was an affiliate of I.G. Farben in Germany.
Those who had opposed The Fraternity were not so fortunate. In 1948 the House Un-American
Activities Committee, in one of its unbridled smear campaigns, named Morgenthau's trusted
associates Harry Dexter White and Lauchlin Currie as communist agents. Based on the
uncorroborated testimony of one Elizabeth Bentley, a self-confessed Soviet spy who was
turning state's evidence, the Morgenthau Treasury administration was smeared in the eyes of
the public. White and Currie, those deeply loyal enemies of fascism, those investigators of the
Bank for International Settlements, of Standard, the Chase, the National City Bank, the
Morgans, William Rhodes Davis, the Texas Company, ITT, RCA, SKF, GAF, Ford, and
General Motors, were effectively destroyed by the hearings. Currie disappeared into Colombia,
his U.S. citizenship canceled in 1956, and White died of a heart attack on August 16, 1948,
aged fifty-six, after returning home from an investigative session. While the surviving Fraternity
figures flourished again, helping to form the texture of postwar technology, those who had
dared to expose them were finished. The Fraternity leaders who had died could sleep
comfortably in their graves -- their dark purpose accomplished.
