per cent Of the country's radio manu-

in back royalties has been handed
down here by Federal Judge Hugh M.

Francis w. Dunmore, employed in the
Bureau of Standards, Washington; p.
D. Powell, former bureau employe, and
the Dubilier Condenser Corporation Of
New York, which is headed by William
Dubilier. all appearing as plaintiffs.
The decision is the result OF suit
brought In 1927 against the Radio Cor
poration of America, alleging infringe
ment on patents owned by plaintiffs for
the manufacture of instruments for
radios which eliminated the necessity
OF storage batteries and made II pos
sible to operate from standard residence
lighting systems.
The judgment calls for an accounting
Of the books of the Radio Corporation
for payment Of alleged damages In

An application for an injunction re-
straining the Radio Corporation from

1t was more profitable to ship gold than
to purchase exchange. This point,
variously estimated at 1855 to 1855

decide to withdraw foreign exchange,

Of large quantities Of currency would

Paris Explains Weakness.
In Paris it is considered that one Of
