WAR OVER DYE PATENTS.

Francis r. Caravan. president OF
the Chemical Foundation, Inc, fatty
refuses the request OF Thomas w. Mil
Ter. alien property custodian. to turn
over 20 him the German dye patents
which the Foundation secured from A.
Mitchell Palmer, when he held the
custodian's office. for a nominal con-
sideration. Mr.. Caravan is positive in
his refusal. and as tho alien property
custodian is moving In accordance
with Instructions from President
Harding. the request win be insisted
upon and tho controversy will 10 to
tho courts.
Mr.. Palmer. IN recently published
letter explaining the sale Of these Ger
man dye patents. which were seized
as alien enemy property during the
war. said It was for tho purpose of
preventing their ownership passing
into the control Of trust. Tho Chemi-
| cal Foundation was organized under
strict provisions that Il should sell
the use OF these patents to all inter
ested parties on equal and fair terms.
and In furtherance OF this purpose the
Foundation was required TO pay only
a nominal sum for the patents. in
contrast with their actual value. Also.
I, IL urged that the Foundation is far
from making a barrel OF money
from its venture.
Mr.. Caravan, however, opens another
avsnue Of discussion in his refusal tc
comply with tho request OF Alien
Property Custodian Miller for ~ re-
turn OF the German dye patents. 1r

his argument with references to the
work of German craftsmen shown in

DR.. Wise. acting under authority

sendents, However, Crilicizes
Certain Views of Authors

The Board of Education's inquiry
into the American history books used
in the public schools was ended yester-
day, when the board of superntendents
approved report on the subject, made
by Edgar d. Sinner, associate super
intendent.
1t is said in the report that no cvi-
dence was found that school books
were being made the vehicles for
propaganda, but that the views which
the writers expressed sometimes were
unsuitable for school children. School
children, it was said, should not be
instructed as to the weaknesses of
national leaders.
Writers OF some Of the histories
told the Investigators that they ap-
proved of efforts to encourage more
cordial relations With Great Britain
and wrote their text books from that
viewpoint. Thc committee believes
tWs inlpairs the va lue of text book.
Fhch should be unbiased and written
from the viewpoint of teacher The
use of "offcnsive illustrations and car
toons' is condemned.

Macbeth Paintings Are
Virtually Unscathed

A few injured frames and cracked
pieces of glass is the closest approach
to damage suffered by paintings in
the valuable collection of the Macbeth
Galleries at 450 Fifth Avenue, which
were the scene of fire Sunday after
noon.
Robert W. Macbeth, manager of the
gallery. said yesterday that it was by
the greatest good fortune and ef
hciency of the fire department that
his private and loaned collections,
valued at more than 100000, were
saved. The fire started in the store
rooms of Alphen, Inc., a firm dealing
IN sporting goods on the second floor
of the building. The galleries are on
the third and fourth floors. The lower
gallery housed at the time the perma-
nent collection, and the paintings in

skylight did the only damage, it was
said, the flames being kept in the floor

Although several art dealers came
to the aid of Mr. Macbeth yesterday
offering to share their gallery space
for his exhibitions, the latter was able
to announce the continuation of the
exhibition Of Frieseke, Lever and Par
