WAR INVENTIONS BOARD
AIM OF BILL BEING DRAWN
Will Assist American 0eniuses in
Developing Devices to
Win War.

A bill creating q. war inventions
board to assist American inventors in
developing devices which would be Of
value to the Army or Navy in winning
the war is being drawn up by the
American Inventors Association and
probably will be introduced in Congress
in the near future.
The association will exert all Of its
energies to secure the passage Of legis-
lation creating war Inventions board
to consist Of five members. whose duty
1t shall be to seek, receive. inquire into
and assist in the development Of in
ventions OF possible military value. the
said board to be non-partisan and to
be compensated by and under the gov
eminent, reads a statement approved
at a meeting Of the association in the
rooms Of the Board Of Trade last night.
F. J. Hemen, president of the associ-
alton. said the bill probably will pro-
vide that this board shall protect the
patent rights Of devices laid before 1t,
80 that 1t will not be necessary to file
the plans as public property in the
patent office.
Although the association was formed
here only little more than a month
from inventors in many states who
have heard Of its existence and desire
to become members. During the war
the association will keep its headquar-
tiers in Washington to help the govern
ment get in touch with every device of
possible military value, and at the
same time to keep away from busy
government officials men whose ideas
are worthless from a military stand
point.
