 Officials Say

Washington, July 11.--Appearanc today of Francis P. Garvan. former alien property custodian, and new head of the Chemical Foundation.

 It was emphasized by the same officials that the investigation was designed primarily to establish final ly the legality of the custodians acts and to remove any ground for con tinued criticism levelled at the of flee. if such criticism has been un- justified.
 A grand jury investigation was de- clared by the officials to be the only method provided for in the American system of government to clear up the controversy
 Formal assurance that "every American interest In the dye patents sold by the alien property custodian in 1919 to the Chemical Foundation will be protected by the government" was made today by Attorney General Daugherty.
 MT. Daugherty denied that any per son connected with the department Of
 
 German interests or individuals re- garding recovery of the patents and reiterated that the department was merely, carrying out President Hard ing's Instructions.
 The statement as interpreted as having reference to charges made by Francis P. Garvan, who handled the sale as the then custodian, subse- quently assuming the presidency ot| the foundation. to the effect that the demand for return of title to the patents had been actuated by Ger man influence.
 MT. Garvan appeared today before the special federal war frauds grand jury here and turned over to that body the records of the foundation.
 Prior to going before the grand jury. Mir. Garyan said he refused a demand of Assistant Attorney Gen eral Grim for permission to inspect the books on the ground that he would not open them to "Germahic influences"

WASHINGTON BUREAU
THE AGE-HERALD

washington, II. u, Dec. 20.
Following the admission this aft
ernoon of Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah that the debt funding commits
sion, of which he is member. could
make no progress toward the collec-
tion OF the money owed this govern
ment by the countries of Europe. and
the sensational rejoinder of Senator
William +. Borah of Idaho, that a
scheme was afoot mot actually to
cancel but practically to cancel" the
European debt, southern senators
moved aggressively for a change in
the personnel of the commission.
Senator William j. Harris of Geor-
gia, who some days ago introduced a
resolution calling on the president to
make the commission as near nom
partisan as possible by appointing
three democrats to membership. de-
clared tonight that in his opinion
every reason existed why his pros
posal should be instantly accepted.
Especially since the statement of
Senators Smoot and Borah on the
floor of the Senate today" he said.
Senator j. Thomas Helm of Ala
bama, in fiery speech, urged the
adoption of the Harris resolution,
and gave as one reason his allega-
ton that as long as the commission
was entirely republican the public
would never learn the actual truth
relative to the condition of Europe
and it's ability to pay.
Senator Smoot said that under the
conditions laid down by the congress.
no European country with the pos
sible exception OF Great Britain could
meet it's American obligations. The
conditions require no time extension
greater than 25 years. and no reduce
ton of interest below per cent
