US. PROTECTING
ATENT RIGHTS
Licenses Held by U. S. Firms on Inventions of Enemy
Citizens Will Remain Val

id-After V-J Day as Align
Property Custodian Controls Them.’
By DR. FRANK THONE Science Service Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—V-E day in Europe, and V-J
day in the Far East, when
it comes, will not affect the
availability or validity of licerises issued to American manu-
facturing ‘concerns on U. S.
patents issued to citizens of
enemy countries, now vested in the alien property custodian. Rights of American licensees in such patents will con-
tinue to receive full government protection. Also vested in the APC are
numerous patents issued to citizens of lands that had the misfortune to be overrun by the enemy. For the inventors’ and owners’ protection, these were taken over, and some of them have been licensed in the same manner, Even after V-E day, patents in this category have continued to be held, and even new patents have been vested in the APC, because only an act of congress can end this somewhat anomalous situation and return the patents to their pre-war owners. A bill to this end has] peen introduced in the house by| Rep. Hatton sumners of Texas, but it cannot be acted on until after congress re-convenes in the autumn, It is expected, however, that rights of American licensees will receive groper protection when this restitudon is made. . ww» BY FAR THE greater part of foreign-owned patents now vested m the APC, however, were enemyowned, and no consideration of anemy subjects’ feelings need obtain so far as licensing them /is con- . «£erned, Of ‘approximately 45,000 patents {including some still pending) vested in the APC, 29,000, or nearly two-thirds, are on German inventions. There are also approximately 1800 patents taken out by [talians and 1200 by Japanese inventors, ‘These will continue to be handled as “enemy” patents; even if Italy becomes a member of the United Nations, as has been proposed, the status of Italian-owned patents vestin the APC will not be changed. Other sizable blocks of patents, originally taken out by citizens of friendly nations that were overfun by the enemy, are the French (1800) and the Dutch (1300). The Abouf 10 per cent of the patents taken over by the APC since the beginning of the war have now expired. On the other hand, there are still a number of applications from foreign lands that were filed before Pearl Harbor on which final actiom has not yet been taken. The number of these has steadily diminished as the wir has gone on, and it is expected that this backlog will soon Sisappaet emily.
THUS FAR, Sn rordnately 10,000 licenses have been issued for the use of these vested patents. Since ~ licenses are granted only on a non-exclusive basis, about onefifth of this number are duplicates. ‘ Licensees include some 800 American firms and individuals, Coming of V-J Day is expected to increase, rather than diminish, the number of applications for licenses, because the end of the war will release great quantities of materials from present exclusive military jifetue n for civilian uses, and will d several millions of workors a Most productive years back to their jobs.

EASTERN GROP OUTLOOK POOR
Weather Bureau Finds Other Regions in Better Shape.
& By Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Eastern
seaboard farmers, from Virginia to New England, are facing serious crop damage from continued rains and humid weather, the weather
bureau reported today. The bureau cited the contrast between the eastern seaboard . and other sections, where weather has been favorable and crops are ahead of schedule. In Washington, July rainfall of 11 inches set a 77-year record, - Some Need Rain
Above normal temperatures and only limited areas of heavy rains have made a mostly favorable week for crops and outside operations in most sections from the Appalachians westwa®d-to the Rockies,” the weekly weather and 'crop bulletin said. “Although the so0il moisture continues ample in most of this area, some “localities are now beginning to need rain, “In marked contrast to the favorable conditions in the Midwest the continued cloudy, humid weather, attended by frequent showers, that prevailed in Atlantic states from Virginia to New England was very detrimental to crops and effectuaily
of outside work. “As a result there were many reports of crop damage becoming severe locally.” Small Grains Good The report said apples and grapes cracked and wheat sprouted in shock. Small grains elsewhere are doing all right, the repprt continues, although it is a bit too dry in far{ci northwestern and Pacific areas. In the main grain belt, ripening progressed rapidly and harvesting of
northern border states. Spring wheat is mostly in good condition, the report says, and corn showed improvement during the week. Cotton made mostly good progress in the western part of the belt, but in some central and eastern sections there was excessive rain,

GROUP SEEKS PLANE DISPOSAL METHOD
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (U. P.).— The senate war investigating committee today was seeking means of speeding up the disposal of the 45,000° surplus military planes expected to be on hand by the.end of this year. The committee. dissatisfied at the speed with which surplus aircraft are now being disposed of, called in high army air forces officers for| information on the size of the job| to come. “Some idea of the problem was] given us by the army officers when | they told us that by the end of | this. year the reconstruction inate corporation would haves some 4 planes on its hands as surplus,” Senator Hugh B, Mitchell Wash.), a committee member. One of the chief problems facing] the country, Mitchell explained, is the costly storage of surplus planes. | The committee feels that s program | must be worked out, he said, by which the ships can be dismantled, usable parts stored, and salvageable metals melted down for storage in stockpiles. Otherwise, he said, “all sorts of money” would be: spent storing whole planes which take up too much space, and too much servicing would be required to protect them from wasteful deterioration.
STRIKE AT SULLIVAN IS STILL UNSETTLED

13 BACK DOMESTIC LINES FOR PAN-AM
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (U, P).— Thirteen members of the senate commerce committee—a majority— today backed the application of! Airways to licensed for domestic operations. Their recommendation to the White House was the outgrowth of the fact that the civil aeronautics board has licensed two domestic systems, Transcontinental & Western Air, and American Airlines, to conduct trans-Atlantic service in competition with Pan-American. American Airlines will go into transAtlantic operations through a ‘subsidiary—American Export Airlines, Noting that the T. W. A. and American Export licenses, which Pan-American denounced as un-{fair-in a statement to CAB this week, are for seven-year experimental periods, vocated the same opportunity in the | domestic field for Pan-American. In its recent North Atlantic deci- | sion, the CAB granted Pan-Ameri- | can .permission to use six U. S. cities as terminals for trans-Atlan-tic service but specified that it could not carry purely domestic traffic| between those cities. T, W. A. and |

INTRODUCE BIE HOUSING PLAN
U. S., Private Firms.
Senators Robert F. Wagner, Y.), and Allen J. Ellender, (D. La.), today ‘introduced legislation for a national housing program with a building goal of more than 1,000,000 new homes a year during the first 10 post-war years. Their measure would make permanent the wartime consolidation of all government housing activities in the national housing agency. It is designed to enable private enterprise to do most of the building, and it sets forth steps the government would take during the first five years. The measure follows closely recommendations of Senator Robert A. Taft, (R. 0), chairman of a special subcommittee on post-war economic policy and planning. Taft Agrees Taft's report, filed sirhultaneously with the Wagner-Ellender bill, is based on hearings held over a sev-en-months period from June 1, 1944, to Feb 17. The Taft report approves a goal of 1,250,000 residential units a year for the next 10 years. The subcommittee members said they believe that “the great bulk of these homes must be built or rebuilt by private enterprise ” The report also recommends that
