Trl-Ergon Holding A. Josef Engel, Joseph Massole and Hans Vogt against the General Talking Pictures Corporation and the DeForest Phonofllm Cor-portlon, esklng, the court to decree the plaintiffs priority In the patents for film synchronization of sound and action.

According to the bill of complaint, Engl, Massole and Vogt prior to June 2, 1919, were the Inventors of new and useful improvements in means and methods of photographically recording sound. The three men on this date filed a Joint Ger man application for patent for the production of photophonograms es pecially for the purpose of accoustlc cinematography and on June 3, of the same year filed another appllca tlon. The bill says that on April 4. 1921. tne three men made a Joint appllca tlon entitled "means for recording and reproducing sound," which title was subsequently changed to "means and methods of photographicalry recording sound." These inventions were sold to the American Trl-Er gon.

The bill avers that Lee De Forest on September 18, 1921. Hied a pe tltion for a patent means for re cording and reproducing sound. The Dc Forest patent was granted while the others were help up. The plain tins complain that the patents were granted Inadvertentaly, erraneously and illegally without declaring an interference between the applications of the three- men and De Forest. The patents obtained by De Forest wre later tralsferred to the Phono films Corporation and later assigned to the General Talking Pictures Cor poratlon.

The plaintiffs took an appeal to the board of appeals and on January 7. 1930, the board dismissed the aD- peai. The American Tri-Ergon Corpora tlon has its place of business In Manhattan and the Trl-Ergon Hold ing A. O. is a corooratlon of Switzer land.

ly It Lowest Level Since Crash of Last Fall Reached Yesterday RALLY IS NOTED LATE IN DAY NEW VORK. June 19 uncrtalnty again reared Its unpleasant head In the speculative markets of the country yesterday, and sent stocks and several staple commodities to new low levels for the year or longer, before traders rel-galned their nerve, and partial recover was The general price level of shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, as measured by the price Index of 90 representative lwues, was carried down to the lowest point seen since the second day of recovery from the levels of November 13, when the lowest levels of the autumn crash were recorded. By early afternoon, however, signs of a rally appeared, and before the close of trading, about half of the extreme loss had been regained. Bankers were not Inclined to regard the market situation as particularly acute, and it was stated emphatically in Important banking cir cles that there was no consideration of organized support such as was ep plied to the market la.st fall. It was rumored in brokerage circles, now ever, that Individual banking Inter ests were placing supporting orders for their favorite issues.

partner in one of the leading Investment banking houses said that obviously the situation was not comparable to that of last October as the public Is not loaded up with stocks as It was then. The protracted decline In commodity prices, carrying such products as wheat, cotton anct? copper to the levels of 1914, has taken Wall Street by surprise, however, and befogged the business outlook. Bunkers who were quick to predict early business recovery after the autumn crash have now declined to offer any public comment. It Is pointed out that commodity prices showed signs of weakening as far back as 1928, but may heve been bolstered In America up by the orgy of speculation during that year and 1929. Wall Btreet feels that the present recession has served to accentu ate the rapid Increase in productive capacity after completion of the major readjustments after the World War, an Increase which for the mo 'ment at least has outstripped the world's consuming capacity, Wall Btreet for the time being.

Is not willing to make any definite prediction as to how long it will take to remedy this situation.
