POINT PLEASANT, w. Va, July
9.-Two hundred or more home own
ers OF this historic little Ohio River
community, where George Washington
camped in ITO. faced the specter OF
the auction block today because the
town has defaulted an $4,000 P. w.
A. sewer loan.
Assistant United States Attorney
John w. Hereford announced that from
200 to 300 liens would be filed imme-
diately by the Federal Government
against properties of citizens and that
foreclosures and sales would be pressed
II these means were necessary to coll
lect the loan.
The debt, through default on prin-
cipal and mounting interest, has
grown to $4,000. Judge Harry E.
Watkins of Federal District Court in
October of 1887 ordered the sewer
system in receivership, but the re-
ceiver has had little luck collecting.
Mayor George Skene estimated that
approximately 400 homes in this ag-
ricultural community of $500 persons
at the confluence of the Kanawha and
Ohio rivers are served by the sewer
system.
There is nothing we can do now.
Some of the people just won't pay
but it is darned high sewer assess
ment." said the Mayor. adding that
defense against the threatened fore.
closure suits would be q matter for
Individual property owners. He esti-
mated half Of the 400 have paid their
assessments regularly.
The fees for use Of the sewer are at
the rate Of 81 per month for each
user. Some have been delinquent
since they first fell due.
Mr.. Hereford explained that the
Governments contemplated action
was necessary because a proposal Of
the municipality to float a 10000
bond issue to purchase the sewer from
the receiver was rejected by State
authorities

URGES LICENSING
UNUSED PATENTS
Senator King Sees Move as
One Way of Putting Curb
on Monopoly Trend.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
today urged legislation for compulsory
licensing Of unused patents as one
way Of curbing monopolistic tendencies
in business.
Senator King, member Of the
Monopoly Investigating Committee,
wrote Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold that he hoped the
Justice Department would recommend
such legislation when it completes its
part in the monopoly study.
There is no doubt" the Senator
asserted. that some large corpora
tions have bought up patents that
they have never used and had no in
tention Of using at the time they were
purchased. They thus have impeded
progress while protecting their own
process Of manufacture or products. "
He suggested legislation requiring q
patent holder to make use Of a patent
within five years or allow others to use
1t. Patent holders now may retain
exclusive rights for II years.
Mr.. Arnold, the Justice Department
representative on the Monopoly Com
mittee, indicated patents and patent
pools would be a major subject for
study.
Senator O'Mahoney. Democrat, Of
Wyoming, chairman of the Monopoly
Committee, said he thought an in
vestigation Of patent trends highly i'm
portant because he believed evidence
would support the charge that many
monopolies had been built up largely
through acquisition and retention Of
fundamental patents.
The Federal Communications Com
mission, in its report on an investiga-
ton of the American Telephone g.
Telegraph Co., said the company's
control Of patents tended to restrict
competition and that the A. T. & +.
had purchased patents. which it never
used.
