Schaefer August 17, 1937 My dear John: I have your letter of August 16th with reference to the German patent on fluorides. I cannot get very much interested in this matter. Qur own tests at the laboratory did not indicate any stabilizing action and the I. G. offered to make patent application in the United States for our account which we refused. Personally, I see no particular reason for pushing this natter. Very truly yours, GE/IHJ Graham Edgar 0000976
