Patents for Maxine
Cold Rolled Steel

Attorney General Biddle an
nounced the filing today in the Fed
eral District Court at Cleveland of
a complaint seeking cancellation Of
two patents on methods of machin-
cry for cold-rolling steel and other
metals obtained by Abram P. Steckel
and owned by the Cold Metal Process
Co., both of Youngstown, Ohio.
The action was described by the
Justice Department as the first i'm
portant proceeding of its kind in so
years. In 1893 the Government
sought unsuccessfully to cancel the
patents of the American Bell Tele-
phone Co.
The civil suit, filed "in the public
interest" alleges that the patents
were obtained through "a fraudu-
lent conspiracy" that has given the
Cold Metals Co. monopoly in the
use of the methods and machinery
involved.
The complaint further charges
that as result OF this patent mo-
nopoly the Government, through
contractors and other suppliers OF
war materials, Is being obliged to
pay Cold Metals very large sums
of money as royalties which, in
justice and equity, defendant (Cold
Metals Is not entitled to exact. y
The royalties claimed by the pat
entee, the Attorney General said
are currently estimated at hundreds
of thousands of dollars a month.

Guffey Endorsement
Of Wallace Launches
Wave Of Speculation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The political future of Henry
A. Wallace, Iowa farmer and
magazine editor who became
Vice President. was dug up to-
day for a postmortem-only a
short time after some Capital
speculation had laid it peace
fully to rest.
Spreading the spadework was
Senator Guffey, Democrat, of Penn
sylvania, who said:
II have no hesitancy whatever in
saying that I'm for Roosevelt and
Wallace as a Democratic ticket in
1914"
That the Pittsburgh bachelor and
other party stalwarts would sup
port Mr.. Roosevelt for another
term is no surprise, but Senator
Guffey's statement to an inter-
viewer yesterday was the first pub
lie suggestion for Mr.. Wallace to
seek second term.
And political observers paid par
ticular heed to the fact that it
came from the chairman of the
Democratic Campaign Committee
a post high in the party's inner
organization.
In addition, it was recalled that
Senator Guffey was one of the first
major Democratic voices to be
raised for Mr.. Roosevelt in 1882
that he started plugging early for
the Presidents reelection in 1896
that he was one of those who pub
licly broke the third term ice for
1910, and that he already has pre-
dicted fourth term for Mr.. Roose-
welt.
Subsequent developments have
indicated each time that at least
part of the party's leadership had
sanctioned his statements.
Senator Guffey's statement was
inclined to put crimp in recent
Capital comments that Mr.. Wallace
might be discarded as Mr.. Roose-
velt's running mate should the
President again top the ticket in
1914. The speculation stemmed
from the presidential rebuke of Mr..
,, Wallace and Secretary of Commerce
Jones for the public airing of their
foreign war purchase dispute.
Some said the almost unprece-

Protein Experiments
May Offset Effects
Of Meat Shortage
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PALO ALTO, Calif.-A scientific
test procedure which may help
counteract the nutritional effects Of
the meat shortage Is reported by
Stanford University researchers.
1t is new and simplified method
of determining the varieties and
amounts of amino acids-compounds
which constitute proteins. There are
at least % Of these compounds and
they are the basic components Of
all living things, plant and animal.
For proper nutrition, humans have
to get about 10 of these amino acids
ready made They cannot, like
plants, make their own.
Dairy Products Are Vital.
Meat, milk cheese and eggs are
the main sources of these ready
made substances.
Ordinary vegetables also contain
proteins but as yet diet experts do
not know exactly which plants and
how much of each a person should
have in order to get all the amino
acids he needs.
Up to now the job of analyzing
food substances for their kinds and
quantities of amino acids has in
volved long, complicated chemical
processes which only experts could
perform.
But four Stanford biochemists dis
closed they were working out short
cut to the answers. The expert
mentors, DR.. G. w. Beadle, DR.. E.
L. Tatum, DR.. N. H. Horowitz and
DR.. D. M. Bonner, are breeding
microscopic organisms which act
as amino acids indicators.
Parent Is Variety of Bread.
The parent organism Is variety
Of ordinary bread mold.
They found one strain Of this
mold which would not grow unless
vitamin B-1 was added to its other
wise regular food.
And certain other new strains re-
fused to grow without particular
kind of amino acid in their diet
different one for each strain.
BY feeding test substance to these
strains and measuring their growth
the experimenters can tell what kind
and how much of an amino acid
the food contains.
