By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 12 —Franklin J. Meine, secretary and manager of the Chicago Book & Art Auctions, Inc., denled last night that etchings which he had imported from Ackermann & Sauerwein, Frankfort, Germany, had been altered to make them indecent. His denial came in answer to the objection of Anthony Czarnecki, Chi- cago_ collector of customs. Czarneckl selected three etchings from a ship- ment of 200 consigned to Meine, and barred them for importation. They were two nudes by Anders Zorn and one by James McNeill Whistler. e is a difference between & rt and an adulterated work of art, rnecki said in explaining that the etchings had been altered to overemphasize certain detafls. “I don’t care if the plates were Michel- angelo’s, some one had entered indecent details.
