The World War made military men
patent-conscious. The law provided
that, by giving the Government a
license to Use his idea, a Federal en-
ploye could get his invention patented
free. But there were no LAWYERS to
handle the bulk Of such inventions

Then, too, the rapidly-developing

atmosphere clogged with claims and
counter-claims.

Lewis Cites Amazing
Letter. as Concrete
Evidence
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, July 4-Representa-
tive David j. Lewis moved his cam
paign for the Democratic senatorial
nomination back into Western Mary
land today, having ended a six-day
Eastern Shore tour with charge
his opponent, Senator Millard E.
Tydings. has the support of a group
of Tory Republican," who constitute
little Liberty League"
Mr.. Lewis made the assertion in
a broadcast address last night at
Salisbury and left Immediately after
ward for Frostburg, where he speaks
today.
The New Deal candidate, generally
regarded as having White House sane
ton in his campaign against the anti
New Deal Tydings, cited IAN amazing
letter" as what he termed concrete
evidence Of the Tory Republican sup
port behind the Senator"
Mr.. Lewis referred to a letter cir
culated by the Maryland committee, a
group formed in 1886 to raise funds
for Alf M. Landon's campaign against
IIeSiueTG ROOSEVELT.
Names Signers Of Letters.
Among the signers of that letter,
Mr.. Lewis said. were Jacob France,
Blanchard Randall. jr.; Howard Baet-
jer, Robert Bonnell. chairman: WAL
lace Williams, Addison Mullikin and
w. Newton Jackson. The latter two
were former candidates for the Re-
publican nomina ton for Governor
and State controller. respectively.
In the letter signed and privately
circulated by these gentlemen and
few anti-Roosevelt Democrats they
asserted that they felt that they could
be Of the greatest service by organiz-
ing the finances of the campaign"
Mr.. Lewis said.
Maryland Democrats will recognize
this movement as the Little Liberty
League group, who in the 1886 cam
paign supported Mr.. Landon and
sought the defeat of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and will in September
answer their challenge in the same
terms"
In the gubernatorial race. there
were developments in both Democratic
and Republican camps over the week
end.
Byrd Race Seems Unlikely.
The oft-mentioned possibility that
DR.. H. c. Byrd, president of the Uni
versity Of Maryland. might run for
Governor provided he could avoid a
Democratic primary. seemed definitely
blasted, for no candidate seemed will
ing to withdraw.
Anent the latest Byrd boom, Attor-
ney General Herbert R. O'Conor said
"ridiculous"; Senate President Lans-
dale G. Sasscer and State Controller
William S. Gordy, jr, said they were
not withdrawing from the race, and
Mayor Howard w. jackson said,
graphically:
Looks as though somebody missed
the boat"
On the Republican side, State Sena-
tor Harry T. Phoebus, in a statement
issued at his Princess Anne home, re-
minded Gov. Harry w. Nice he still
was candidate for the Republican
nomination and that the Governor
would have to make primary fight.
He talks like a Goliath, forgetting
the David down here on the Eastern
Shore who is ready to slay him." Mr..
Phoeous said. Like Goliath, the Gov
ernor is pretending to ignore the am
