Eisenhower has notified the War department that 150,000 Nazis were arrested or removed from office before Aug. 20 in the American occu pation zone of Germany, it was disclosed tonight. His first report on military government operations in the American zone revealed that less than 10 per cent of the industrial plants were operating then and that the German economy had been brought "almost to a stand still." j He said, without elaborating, that "military control and zonal ; divisions are obstacles to recov- ( cry of Industry, transportation and business." ! The report, dated Aug. 20, ! was sent to the War department before Eisenhower called Gtn. George S. Patton on the carpet yesterday for an accounting of his stewardship in Bavaria. Pat ton had admitted retaining some secondary Nazis in office for the sake of efficiency. "The Nazi party, its organha. tlons and agencies have been abolished," Elsenhower's report : said. "Discriminatory Nazi liws ! have been abrogated and Nazi propaganda eliminated." i He said that about 80.000 Nazis in the "mandatory arrest" i category had been taken Into custody and that 35,000 others in the same classification were expected to be taken from among prisoners of war.
