CREEL DEMANDS J. 5.
 INVESTIGATE AT ONCE
 COMMITTEE CHARGES
Republican A. p. Leased Wfrel

NEW YORK. April 12-George Greet, who headed the committee on public information, tonight made public a let ter he has sent to Attorney General Palmer insisting that MT. Palmer in vestigate at once charges by the joint congress committee on printing that the CreeI committee had wrongfully transferred the Official Bulletin to Roger w. Babson of Wellesley, Mass.
 MT. Creel also made public "a letter to Senator Smoot, chairman of the committee. declaring the senator knew there was no transfer of the Official Bulletin to Babson. but that the joint committee ''sneakingly worked in sec ret to frame the indictment that my testimony would have made absurd" 1" He added that the senator 'as much as any one else' was responsible for wip- ing out the CreeI committee June 30. 1919. ''in the middle of it's orderly liquidation
 The joint committee charged that the transfer had been made without cost to Babson and suggested institu- ton of legal proceedings against Creel, BabSon, C. T. Clayton and Edwards S. Rochester, to see if the government could not recover money.
 In his letter to MT. Palmer. Mir. Creel said:
 T insist that your office commence an instant investigation, and put my self and every record at your disposal l. I want to know from you also what protection d citizen has against the deliberate islanders of a member of congress. Not only are Senator Shoot s charges false, but he knew them to be lies when he uttered them
 The Official Bulletin was not trans ferred to Roger Babson or any one else. It was discontinued by the order of the attorney general on the ground that I had no right to sell the property at public auction. The one asset was mailing list and this was publicly placed at the disposal of any citizen caring to copy it, an action also taken under orders of the attorney general.
 Any private citizen was at liberty to start a publication of similar char acter and this is what Mir. Babson did. He received nothing from the govern ment except the right to copy the mail ing list"
 To Senator Shoot, MT. Creel said that after he had been "dispossessed" on July 20, 1919, his records had twice been moved and had been juTnbled into army trucks. He declared a private stating this confusion, was sent to Senator Warren, but some one sneaked it out to the press and the conditions precipitated by congress were credited to my 'desertion.' !"
 "I am sick and tired of this long distance lying" he said. Your recom- mendation to the attorney general to bring action against me is buncombe and you know it. A better and quicker way is to have me appear before your committee, or any other senate com mittee, and make full answer to this Official Bulletin charge.
 Ever since the armistice it has been your steadfast attempt to shame the American war record and besmiTch every man connected with that record. To date, these congressional investi- gations have cost s2,000.000 but fail- ure to develop a single instance of graft still forces your group to rely upon the activities of individual liars

DECLARE CHEMICAL
 DISCOVERIES WILL
 REDUCE \. |. IF l.
IRepubncan A. p. Leased wire1

ST. LOUIS, April 12 - The living cost will be reduced millions of dol lars by chemical inventions and dis coveries, said delegates to the conven- ton of the American Chemical society in session here today.
 Recent discoveries by Fred c. Cot tre1. chief metallurigicaI of the United States bureau of mines, of a leading substitute in the manufacture of insec- t1cldeS, is expected to save millions of dollars of farm products and assist in lowering the cost of these products.
 Experiments in tanning hides of sharks, chemists assert, will assist in cutting the cost of leather goods
 About one billion dollars in farm products have been lost each year be- cause insecticides, made chiefly of lead compounds, were beyond the reach of the poorer farmers" Charles L. Parson of Washington, secretary of the society, explained.
 By MT. Cottrelrs discovery arsenic is recovered from smoke issuing from copper smelters and this has made it possible for chemists to substitute cal cium magnesium for lead, greatly re- ducing the cost of insecticides.
 Prohibition. in destroying the wine industry, also removed the supply of cream of tartar. extracted from depos- it's in wine casks. However, chemists have discovered a method by which nalleic acid is drawn from benzene tartar.
 Then, again, the chemist has kept down the price of paint. Paint would be SIS to SIG gallon, instead of s3 to s4. if the chemist had not made lithopone and tilaneum possible as a substitute for lead and zinc in paint making
 Delegates say they look on this con- vention as a celebration of the cheni- cal independence of the United States from the pre-war dependence upon othr countries.
