MEDICAL PATENTS
CHANGE IS URGED
Dr.. Fishbein FavorS Holding
Company-Says Reward
Not Given Doctors.
BY the Associated Press.


ROCHESTER, N, Y, September T.
Control of medical patents in the in
terest of the public, instead of the
inventor, WAS urged before the Ameri-
can Chemical Society today by DR..
Morris Fishbein, spokesman of the
American Medical Association.
In an address prepared for the So
ciety DR.. Fishbein proposed holding
corporation to administer such patents
with suitable royalties to investi-
gators. universities. research institu-
tions or other bodies"
DR.. Fishbein, who had sharp dis
pute with the chemical society year
ago at Pittsburgh because of medical
publicity from the chemistry meetings,
let down the strict medical bars bit.
Others Get Rewards.
Physicians, under their code of
ethics, have not been permitted to
get cent of profit out of medical
patents. DR.. Fishbein said the doc
tors co-worker scientists in other
fields we're, however, receiving none
tary rewards for inventions in which
the doctor participated.
"Our new order of living" he said,
"in the machine age, the development
of specialization in medical practice,
the incorporation of great industries
for exploitation of discoveries made in
the laboratories and similar factors
emphasizes the need for some revision
in the medical point of view concern
ing medical matters"
DR.. Fishbein fired shot at the
present trend of universities to take
out scientific patents in the name of
the institution.
Universities must consider" he
said, "the extent to which exploita-
ton of patents for the benefit of the
institution may bring upon them the
new burden of taxation from which
they are now exempt.
In Direct Competition.
ssThe exploitation of patents by uni
versities places them in direct COM
petition with one another. Because
Of the financial interests involved the
results of current research are being
delayed through failure of research
workers to communicate with each
other.
"The patents which have aroused
the most debate and trouble at pres
ent are the scarlet fever patents held
by the Scarlet Fever Foundation and
the copper-iron patent held by the
University Of Wisconsin, and perhaps
the various patents concerned with the
production of vitamin D and vitamin
D products.
The sun in the sky should be
freely available to all who wish to
see it. Yet it has been hinted that
there are some concerned with patents
on vitamin D who would inhibit in

Drinking Water Improved.

The development of remarkable
substance, activated carbon easily and
effectively removed disagreeable tastes
and odors in public water supplies,
must be credited to modern scien-
tiflc research. In badly disfavored
water the carbon is frequently ap-
plied-part before sedimentation and
part later. In large cities, where
highly polluted water is the only water
obtainable and where a heavy dosage
OF chlorine is essential, activated car
bon is used after the chlorination TO
remove the excess chlorine. For even
the slightest taste of chlorine spoils
the taste Of the water.

The British government and au-

night attempted to pierce the
mystery of an explosion in Span

of her crew and injured Ia.
The admiralty in London pro-

explanations from unofficial
sources, including:
|. The Hunter struck an an
chored mine, or a floating one
planted either by Spanish rebels
or loyalists.
=. Loyalist insinuations that
the Hunter was struck by a tor
pedo fired by Il German subma-

planned TO torpedo British

the nationalists and force British
intervention in Spanish affairs. y

Dick Merrill Sets
Many Records By
Atlantic Flights
Time Cut by Hours as First
Scheduled Round
Trip Flown

FLOYD BENNETT FIELD,
NEW YORK. May 15.-(UP).-
Henry T. (Dick) Merrill, four
times conqueror of the Atlantic,
last night gunned his big silver
transport plane, DAILY Express"
into the fog-blanketed airport
here, completing u round-trip
flight by airplane between New
York and London.
II marked the first scheduled
round-trip airplane flight across
the Atlantic.
Merrill set his plane down on
the rain-soaked runway at 4:36
p. M, EDIT, after an emergency
landing at Squantum airfeld, near
Quincy, Mass, two hours earlier
when he became lost in fog.
Customs inspectors qui k y
checked bundles of photographs of
the coronation of King George VI,
which Merrill brought from Eng
land.
He had intended to bring back
newSreel pictures, but his hackers
and film companies were unable
to agree on rates. The companies
offered $4,000 and MerrilPs back
erS asked $4,000.
The l0-passenger monoplane
which took off just before sunset
Sunday from the same runway,
made the flight over and back
the second time Merrill has crossed
the Atlantic both ways-without
incident. except for the last hours
of the homeward journey when
Merrill lost his radio beam and
circled blindly over New England.
The stocky, sunburned flier and
his 27-year-old helper brought
back fistful of records.
The elapsed time on the Eng.
land-to-America flight was %
hours, 81 minutes from Southport
to Squantum, a new east-west
crossing record. The fastest COM
parable crossing previously was
by Capt. James Mollison and his
wife, Amy, in 1888, in 36 hours
81 minutes.

LONDON, May 15.-(UP).-A
virtual victory for the royal fam
lily in it's feud with the British
government over the wedding Of
the Duke Of Windsor and Mrs.
Wallis Warfield was reported last
night by persons close to Bucking-
ham Palace.
The report was without confir-
nation from either official or posi-
tive quarters but it was said that
the Duke and Duchess Of Kent
will leave soon "for Europe" os-
tensibly to visit the Duchess sis
ter, Princess Paul of Jugoslavia.
They will stop off en- route to
attend the wedding of the Duke
and the American-born divorcee,
those close to the royal court said.
The purported settlement of the
controversy. which remained dead
locked throughout the gaiety Of
King George WIS coronation, was
said to have carried a concession
by the royal family whereby the
young and handsome Duke of
Kent may not serve az best man
at the elimination of "the worlds
greatest romance"

TO SUPERVISE.
OPERATIONSOF.
SECURITY ACT
Local Administrator To Be
Chosen When Full
Board Named
SCOPE OF LOCAL AID
NOT YET REVEALED

c. d. Weeks. HenderSonville at
torney, has been named as men,
Der of the Henderson county well
fare board TO supervise operations
under the Social Security Act. 1t
was announced yesterday at RAJ
leigh by the State Board of Chart
ties and Public welfare.
Mr.. Weeks is the first member
of the three-man board to be
named for Henderson county. I'M
der the provisions of the act, one
member of the board is named by
the state board. one member by
the board of county commission
ers, and the third member is then
selected by the two board men,
berS. In case the two board men,
berS cannot agree on a third, APP
pointment then falls to the resi-
dent judge of the judicial district.
After the welfare board Is con-
stituted of three members. the
welfare board and the county
commissioners then name coun-
" welfare supervisor, who Is
charged with the work of admin
iStration under the Social Secur-
ity Act under the supervision of
the welfare board.
1t was indicated today that the
board of county commissioners
has not yet considered the APP
pointment of a board member.
T. l.. Durham, chairman, said that
the commissioners had as yet re-
ceived no information as to what
was expected of them under the
act. and were awaiting detailed
information before taking action.
However. the Social Security
Act provides that the welfare
board shall meet with the com
misSionerS on the first Monday In
July for the purpose of naming
the welfare supervisor. Action
will be taken in conStitutin" the
welfare board prior to that time.
As vet there has been no indi-
cation as TO whom the commits
sionerS will name to the welfare
board. nor, of course, any indlca-
ton as to who will be the third
member.
A number of applications have
been received for the position of
welfare supervisor. Mr.. Durham
said this morning. but as yet no
consideration has been given to
any applicants. -,
The position of supervisor will
be a difficult job. 1t will probably
require the full time of one man,
who will be required to be thor
oughly conversant with the condl-
tions in the county and with the
operation of the Social Security
Act.
AS vet there has been no indi-
cation as to how many people will
be eligible for aid under the act.
Persons entitled to aid fall into
three groups: aged, dependent
children. and INDECENT blind.
At the present time the county
is rendering aid to a number OF
people in these classes. and the
expenditure for this form of re-
lief during the past year totalled
slightly under 1900. This form
of relief will, of course, DE stopped
by the county after the act be-
comes operative, and this sum may
be offset against whatever sum
will be necessary under the act.
