receipt of grants-in-aid from the Federal Government and from the collection of unemployment com‘pensation taxes. Increases both in spending and income were reported by all states “analyzed. However, this was not true insofar as the rise in the aggregate public debt was concerned. Nine of the states reported increases, five reported decreases, and one, Wisconsin, reported virtually no

change. ~~ In 1937, the 15 states reported expenditures for operations and main‘tenance, interest on debt and capital outlays totaling $714,568,000, compared with $506,098,000 in 1932. Their income in 1937 amounted to

Receipts included $141,474,000 of grants-in-aid from the Federal government; $177,229,000 from gasotaxes; $58,571,000 from motor Vehicle taxes; $62,123,000 from unemployment compensation taxes, ‘and $63,863,000 from general property tax levies.

PATENT RULING |

‘IS REAFFIRMED

Supreme Court Accepts Sitdown Case, Refuses Hapgood Appeal.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (U. P).|

—The Supreme Court, rebuffing an Administration plea, today reaffirmed a patents decision of last May which was the subject of a vigorous dissent by Associate Justice Hugo S. Black.

The Court’s new decision in the patents case was reached by a division of 5 to 2 which found Mr. Justice Black again dissenting and Associate Justice Stanley Reed joining in his dissent. Associate Justice Owen Roberts did not participate in the case. Chief point raised by the Government in the case was the right of a patent holder to restrict the use to which his patent might be put. Mr. Justice Brandeis, presenting the Court’s opinion, declared that Federal patent laws clearly permit patent holders to restrict the use. to which patents may be put by per-

Monopoly Is Issue

The Government's contention in the patents case—echoing a similar view expressed by Mr. Justice Black in both his dissent last May and in today’s dissent—was that if patentees could restrict the use of patented articles this privilege would encourage the extension of monopoly. In addition to filing a friend-of-the-court brief by the Government in the Supreme Court case the question is to be examined by the

CLUB HONORS REEVES

MINER IS UNDAUNTED SHENANDOAH, Pa., Nov. 21 (U. P.) —William Bokuniewicz, 52, father of 11 children and “not afraid of anything,” said today he would resume work at the bootleg coal hole in which he and an apprentice miner were entombed 40 hours before they were rescued unharmed yesterday morning.

ness Pope Pius XI has changed a great deal since his recent illness. He has lost much weight, but feels well. He is less stern and formal. The Pontiff was critically ill for

8 | months. Due to varicose veins it was

‘almost impossible for him to move his legs. When he began to recover,

He lost much weight during his illness. The exact amount is uncertain because the Pope declines to be weighed. His clothes fit loosely now, and Vatican functionaries on several occasions have suggested that he have new ones made. He remarked to one aid that he preferred the clothing he now has because, although large, it is more comfortable. | ; Changed Attitude His attitude toward officials at the Vatican also has undergone a change. In the past he was known as stern and formal—something of a task-master. Sometimes he spoke sharply when he felt that work had not been done properly. He worked long hours himself, He never complained of ailments and discouraged complaints by others. Since his illness, His Holiness has shown much greater interest in the personal problems of his intimate collaborators without in any way lessening his desire that all energies be devoted to carrying on -official duties at the Vatican. There is less of the stern formality about his relations with his colleagues. Frequently he remarks to close friends that he feeis even better than before his illness. The Pope told one member of the

he went to the Papal summer resi-|

Ak Fea College of Cardinals that he had

learned a great deal from his sickness. In his youth, the Pontiff was gs great mountain climber and he had never been really ill until the illness from which he has just recovered. Now, he told the Cardinal, he understands many things more clearly because of his own suffering and he feels he is much wiser.

Can Use Legs Again | Recently a Cardinal from abroad arrived for a report to the Pope and was much surprised by the change in the Pontiff generally, particularly in view of the fact that two years ago physicians predicted

' |that he would never walk again. The Cardinal was received by the]

Pope in a kindly and informal manner. As they talked, the Pontiff crossed his legs easily and his fingers tapped carelessly on the heel of his red slipper. Much to the surprise of the visiting Cardinal, he seemed to have recovered the use of his legs to a remarkable extent. Later, the same Cardinal remarked that the Pope was “much more mellow and human.” Nevertheless, ‘the Pontiff still works from 14 to 16 hours a day. He rejects the advice of his aids that he should reduce the daily routine; that he should rest longer each day. To some of his intimates, he has said that when the time comes he wants to die while at his work. | The Pope is unusually active for a man of his 81 years and has stu-

pendous energy. He still receives in private audience from four to eight persons every day before holding larger public audiences.

He is intensely curious about almost everything that is happening in the world and when he has a visitor who talks fluently on affairs in foreign countries, the audience is likely to run far over the scheduled time. As a result, his public audiences are late in getting started. Apparently the Pope is completely recovered from the illness which physicians at one time feared would be fatal.
