STANDARD OIL LOSES
SUIT OVER PATENTS
Independent Refners Hail Rul-
ing as Removing Threat of
Millions in Damages.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. December 12.-Federal
Judge John P. Barnes yesterday ruled
that two oil-cracking process patents
held by the Standard Oil Co. of In
diana are invalid and ordered dis
missal of a suit by that firm against
the Globe Oil and Refining Co. for
alleged infringement.
His ruling was hailed by defense
counsel as a victory for independent
oil refiners and dealers. Had the
Standard Oil Co. been successful, at
torneys said, the suit would have been
followed by an accounting for damages
for alleged violation Of the patents
involving millions of dollars.
Other suits involving the two pat
ents-the Lewis and Cooke patent COW
ering the bubble tower" method, and
the Shaeffer and Brown patent on a
"coil cracking still"-are pending in
other Federal courts.
Judge Barnes ruling followed
trial lasting two months.
The Globe Co., a spokesman said.
maintained it never had used the
Lewis and Cooke patent and that its
process of separating portions Of
cracked crude oil was not covered by
the patent.

university.
Mrs. Strong has been a trustee of
the school since 1881. For many years
she has been interested in education,
and in 1923 founded the Hattie M
Strong Foundation for the purpose of
continuing on more permanent basis
the policy of lending money to stu
dents which she had carried on in an
informal way for a number of years.
A resident of Washington since 1926,
Mrs. Strong is internationally known
for her philanthropies. The French
government bestowed upon her the
Cross of the Legion of Honor in recog-
milton Of her gift for home for Grip
pied war veterans. She also had been
decorated by the government of Yugo-
slavia with the Cross of the Order Of
st. Sava in recognition Of her gen.
erosity to Yugoslav students
Mrs. Strong lives at 210l Connecti-
cut avenue.
Lauded by DIR. Marvin.
In announcing the gift, DR.. Marvin
said he regarded it of utmost impor-
tance and significance in the develop
ment of the university.
Through Mrs Strong's generosity"
he said, Eve will be enabled to give
appropriate housing to many woman
students who come to the George
Washington University from all parts
Of the country, and to provide a center
for all women's activities on the
campus.
This is q need that long has been
keenly felt. Mrs. Strong's gift makes
1t possible for the university to develop
in direction in which hitherto it has
been hampered by limited facilities. It
is an action which exemplifieS her
creative attitude toward life, and is
representative of her interest in edu-
cation and in young people.
Mrs. Strong has the heartfelt graft
tude of all associated with the George
Washington University and who will
be associated with it in the years to
come For them this women's hall will
constitute lasting memorial to her."

NAVAL PAR[EY DUE
TO END THIS WEEK.
British Cabinet Proposes
DeadI0cked Conference
Be Closed at Once.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 12.-The pre-
liminary naval conversations of the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan will be adjourned this week,
it was indicated authoritatively today.
The decision of the British cabinet
to propose adjournment of the stale
mated conversations was commune
Gated to meeting of the United
States delegates for their approval.
1t was suggested that adjournment
might be made in time to enable the
American group to leave for home on
the Manhattan, sailing Saturday.
May Be Finished.
The present conversations, which
have been in progress for two months,
may now be regarded as finished, it
was stated. The next step appears
to be to determine whether the step
should be regarded as complete ter
mination or whether postponement
should be made to some future date
Earlier the British delegation moved
to have negotiations postponed until
Spring and placed recommendation
to this effect before the cabinet.
The delegation wants to continue
the talks but realizes there is little hope
for an agreement now because of
Americas firm stand against Tokio's
equally firm demand for tonnage
equality.
To Denounce Treaty.
Before the British move, observers
had expected the talks, which are
preliminary to the 1885 naval con-
ference to end December 20. On
that day Japan Is expected to de-
nounce the Washington naval treaty
of 1922.
The American delegates, Norman
H. Davis and Admiral William H.
Standley have been represented as
opposed to further conversations un-
less there is some assurance from the
Japanese that they will offer new
proposals which would make an agree
ment possible.
British representatives are extreme
ly anxious to avoid anything like a
definite break.
