books owned by the library: "kdrift Ice Pant,
"Ronance of Labrador" and "Tales of the abrador".
He suggested that the library might be interested in
acquiring his latest publication, What Chris leans

COURT ORDERS
M'LEAN FACE
LUNACY TEST
Maryland Proceedings
Reopened Here

Machinery was set in motion to-
day to have Edward B. Mclean,
former Washington publisher, ap-
pear in District court in connect
ion with lunacy proceedings in
Stituted against him in Maryland
five years ago.
In a 13.page typewriter order
reviewing all past proceedings in
connection with Mclean and his
estate here, Justice Bolitha j.
Laws directed that Mclean appear
within 20 days after he received
the order, and show cause why the
''relief" sought in the pending
proceedings should not be granted
and why he should not be ad-
judged a lunatic in this jurisdic-
ton as well as in Maryland.
PLACED IN ASYLUM"
On his return to Washington
from a trip abroad several years
ago Mclean, on advice of phySi-
clans was placed in hospital and
later adjudged insane. Rear
Admiral Mark Bristol was ap-
pointed committee of his person
and estate and shortly after was
given similar authority in the Dis
trict Court.
A year ago the Maryland pro
ceedings were questioned by judg-
ment creditors Of Mclean who in
sisted on payment of their claims
out Of the allowance Mclean re-
ceives from the estate of his
father, the late John R. Mclean.
REOPENS CASE
Taking cognizance of what ap-
peared to be a lack of jurisdiction
on the part of the Maryland
courts, Justice Jennings Bailey
directed that the entire proceed
ings be reopened here and the
order signed by Justice Laws today
is pursuant to an opinion he rem
dered several weeks ago.
Under provisions Of the new
court rules, Justice Laws ap-
pointed Harold T. Scott, former
deputy marshal, now a private de-
tective, to personally serve the for
mer publisher with a copy Of the
order.
Scott will go to Towson, Md,
tomorrow to serve Mclean, accord
ing to Attorney Austin F. Can
field, McLean's temporary guard
ian. <
Whether personal service can be
held on Mclean, who is still a
patient in the private asylum. is
not known, but IN the event he
can not be personally reached,
Justice Laws indicated to counsel
that other means Of service, pos
sibly by publication, will be re-
sorted to.

BRAIN PABUDUM

! A good deal of attention is being
devoted in Washington to the prob
lens of monopoly growing out of
patent laws. When the patent laws
were modified in 1927 the main pur-
pose was TO put a check on quanti-
ties of patents protecting small de-
tails of the same basic patent. Be-
fore that. in 1910, the issue of "ca-
Yeats" was stopped for the purpose
of hating the alleged interference

patent system at this time may bring
about further corrections.
