LITIGATION OF YEAST
COMPANIES is SETTLED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 1.-THE ex-
tended litigation between Standard
Brands, Incorporated, successor to the
Fleischmann Co. and the Federation
Yeast Corporation, New York, for al
legged infringement by the Federal Co.
of patents covering improvements in
yeast manufacturing processes, has been
finally settled, according to statement
issued today by Joseph Wiltshire, pres1-
dent, Standard Brands, Inc.
In 1923 the Fleischmann Co. brought
suit against the Federal Yeast Corpora
ton for infringement of a patent COW
ering process for the manufacture OF
yeast" said Mr.. Wiltshire, THE case
was tried before United States District
Judge Morris A. Soper In Baltimore,
Md, who held the patent valid and In
fringed.
"The Federal Yeast Co. then took an
appeal from the decision Of the District
Court and in June, 1876, the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals, Fourth
Circuit, then sitting in Richmond, Va,
sustained the lower court and likewise
held the patent valid and infringed.
THE case was then referred to
special master for accounting to deter
mine the damages sustained by the
Fleischmann Co. by reason OF such in
fringement and that company was
awarded a sum in damages equal to 212
cents per pound on yeast manufactured
and sold by the Federal Yeast Corpora
ton during the period between March,
1923, and July, 1926.
I'm the meantime the Federal Yeast
Corporation changed its process to avoid
further infringement, which resulted in
the bringing of second suit by the
Fleischmann Co. for infringement of
certain other of its patents not involved
in the first suit, and Judge Soper in the
District Court at Baltimore. in February,
this year, held these other patents valid
and tnfringed.
"Thereupon the Federal Yeast Cor
poration opened negotiations for settle
ment of all litigation. These negotia-
lions were finally terminated to the sat
isfaction of both companies. The settle
ment provides for permanent injunc-
tions against future infringements by
the Federal Yeast Corporation and for
the payment of substantial sum In
damages"
Standard Brands, Inc, is the owner of
approximately 90 United states letters

laneous causes such as weather and
darkness and 5.57 per cent to unde-

Errors OF pilots were held responsible
for SIS per cent of the accidents. This
included errors of judgment, poor tech
nique, disobedience of orders, careless
ness or negligence and miscellaneous
other errors Of personnel included
supervisory mistakes and miscellaneous.
The largest single cause of accidents
was given as poor technique of pilots,
which was held responsible for 2s.3
per cent of accidents. Errors OF judg-

Accident Total.
A total Of 924 accidents took place in
the last six months of 1929. They were
classified as follows: Scheduled flying,
rs; student instruction. 10; experiment
tai, 43; commercial, 1873, and pleasure,
This compared with 500 for the same
period in 1928 and TIA for the first six
months in 1929.
However, the total miles flown per
accident jumped from "a, 308 for the last

and 150,S42 for the hrst half Of 1929
to 2O9, 739 for the last half of 1929.
Aeronautics officials argue that If the
causes Of individual accidents could be
made public Il would tend to give the
public greater confidence In flying. They
said II they could announce that an
accident, for instance, was caused by
the pilot being drunk, this would not

Aeronautics officials of the Commerce
hope the next session of
Congress will amend present law to
permit them TO make public the causes
of individual airplane accidents in the
United States.
An attempt was made at the last ses-
sion under q proposal introduced by
Senator Bingham of Connecticut, au-
thor OF the original air commerce act,
but 1t was crowded out by pressure of
other legislation.
Bingham is expected to renew the
attempt at the December session. The
proposal bears the approval OF Com
merce Department aeronautics officials.
Under the present law, 1t was explained,
the Commerce Department INVESTIGATES
all airplane accidents, but is prevented
by limitations of the act from nxing
responsibility for individual mishaps.
Liable for Damages.
Onhcials explained that the law does
not authorize subpoening of witnesses,
placing them under oath and does not
protect the department against libel
suits. They added that II they at
tempted to fix responsibility for acct
dents under present conditions they
would be subjected to a barrage of
unulaGC oultos
. What is desired by the aeronautics
officials Is q law similar to the one I'M
der which the Interstate Commerce
Commission investigates railroad acct
dents. II can FIX responsibility and
there Is no legal comeback. At the
last session Of Congress the Commerce
Department was criticized severely by
some Senators for not making public
the causes Of accidents. The depart
ment, however, insisted the law would
have to be changed before 1t could fol-
low this procedure. Since 1925, when
the aeronautics branch was organized,
1t has investigated all airplane acci-
dents and has issued semi-annual sta
tistics dealing in generalities so far as
the causes were concerned.
The causes were grouped and mileage
flown per accident was given. The
latest report covering the last six
months In 1899 said Sb.Tk per cent Of
the accidents were due TO errors, Of peE-
sonnei, 1895 per cent 10 pUWer-piant
