TO TAKE UP LEGISLATION
FOR THE PATENT OFFICE
House Committee to Give Hearing
Wednesday on Proposed Changes.
Will Call Witnesses.

Legislation affecting the United
States patent office is to be discussed
at a hearing Wednesday before the
House patent committee. presided
over by Representative John r Nolan
of California. Witnesses will be pre-
sented by the patent committee of the
National Research Council
There are three measures introduced
by Chairman Nolan at the request OF
the National Research Council. two
of which are already before the patent
committee, and the third has been re-
ferred to the House appropriations
committee.
Representative Nolan hopes he can
get the House to transfer Jurisdiction
to the patent committee, SO that all
three measures can be considered CO.
ordinately.
one bill provides for taking the pat
ent Office from the jurisdiction of the
Department Of the Interior and max
ing it a distinct government estab-
| lishment Another provides for Great
| ing "A patent court OF appeals. The
third measure. which has been re-
ferred to the appropriations commit
tee. provides for reimbursement OF
officials and for increases in salary in
| the patent office.

May Favor Reservations.

It is now practically settled that
the foreign relations committee. to
which the peace treaty and the pro-
posed alliance with France will be
referred, will report in favor of res
ervations to the league of nations
covenant. A minority report from
the committee will oppose reserva-
lions. This will bring the contro-
versy properly into the Senate.
Senators who have visited their
home states recently are very gener-
ally Of the opinion that the country
will not sustain the Senate in pro-
longing the debate over the peace
treaty unnecessarily. The opinion
around the Senate is that two months
elaboration over the treaty will be
about as much as the country will
stand. Many senators look for final
action considerably sooner than that,
however. and believe that within
very few days after the treaty is pre-
scented, and pools can be made of the
Senate, steps will be taken looking to
some early test vote and possible
compromises which would bring rati-
fication sooner than is generally ex-
pected.
Ratification with reservations" is
the program of senator's who are
working with the majority Of the re-
publioane in the Senate.
