...cooperated very closely with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in destroying lampreys that almost killed the fish life from Erie to Superior, we find your article [July 13] up to date and most interesting. May we mention that the one chemical, 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol, invented by Farbwerke Hoechst of Germany, which did the trick-out of 6,000 chemicals unsuccessfully used-was given by us to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. We are naturally proud of this international cooperation. G.I.O. RUEBCKE President Hostachem Corp. Mountainside...
Three of the hottest stocks on West Germany's stock exchange last week, avidly sought by German and foreign investors alike, were close cousins known by the tongue-twisting names of Farbenfabriken Bayer, Badische Anilin & Soda-Fabrik (B.A.S.F.), and Farbwerke Hoechst.

From Ashes to Atoms. Fastest growing of the top three Farben heirs is Farbwerke Hoechst near Frankfurt, whose moving force is energetic Board Chairman Karl Winnacker, 53, a wartime Farben plant manager. Hoechst's sales-antibiotics, synthetic fibers, cellophane and oxygen-rocketed 17% last year to $355 million. Now the company is taking German industry's first steps toward harnessing the atom. It operates a nuclear research laboratory outside Frankfurt and is building a heavy-water plant (annual capacity: six tons) that will be among Europe's biggest when completed this year. Last week, with Atomic Energy...
...British at war's end to direct the combine of Farben plants that now make up Bayer, the company is rapidly moving into foreign markets. Burgeoning Bayer has recently opened plants in Argentina, Brazil and Chile; it is building another in Mexico and, together with Farbwerke Hoechst, will add still another in Pakistan. In the U.S. it owns a 50-50 interest, with Monsanto Chemical Co., in West Virginia's Mobay Chemical Co. (polyurethane plastics), and a 50% interest with Pittsburgh Coke & Chemical Co. in Manhattan's Chemagro Corp. (insecticides...
