Under this compact. Bausch 4
Lomb agreed to set up a military
department under Zeiss's guidance.

featuring rights under its patents,
and collect royalties on all Bausch
4 Lomb sales. After stipulating
. mutual exchange of manufac-
turing knowledge and mutual &C.
cess to each others plants, this
agreement states:
Each party shall place at the
disposition of the other inventions
in the military line acquired from
a third party, under the same fav-
orable conditions under which it
itself is making ose of them.
IF Bausch Il Lomb should &C
ouire patent rights not resulting
from the Zeiss cooperation, but
independent therefrom, from en-
ployes Of Bausch & Lomb. these
patents shall also be at the dis
posal Of Carl Zeiss.

party expressly demands that they
be kept in confidence in the in

The compact stipulated the mill
tary department set up by Bausch

solely to the board of directors.
q. S. FIRM REFUSED
TO SELL ABROAD
Under the agreement the Ameri-
can firm was to refuse TO sell mill
tary equipment outside of the
United States without Zeiss' con-
sent. The bill of particulars cites
numerous cases in which 1t charges
specific sales were turned down:
August 20, 1889: Anti-aircraft
height and range finders, and ma
rine range finders, to the Ministry
of Defense. Finland.
March 30. 1898: Stereo height
finders, to the British embassy.
June s, 1887: Airplane machine
gun sighting devices, to United
Aircraft Export Corp, East Hart
ford, Conn.
Feb. 6, 1886: Telemeters, to the
military aviation school, Rio de
Janeiro.
Department Of Justice investi-
gators dug up this agreement in
of all places files of the Sc
curities and Exchange Commits
sion in Washington, where 1t had
been reposing for many months as
a completely unexpected public
document. They stumbled on 1t
while making a routine check of
SEC files.
After getting this 1926 agree
ment. q subpoena produced the
1921 agreement from Bausch &
Lomb's own files.

WESTINGHOUSE compac
under which an American firm
making important military devic-
es for the u, S. army and navy
was obliged to permit German in
spection of processes and inven-
tons used in that production is re-
vealed in a document recently filed
In the U. S. district court at New
York.
That document is bill of par
ticulars filed April 26 by the De-
partment of Justice in connection
with an antitrust indictment re-
turned a month earlier by a fede-
raj grand jury. against the Bausch
& Lomb Optical Co.
The indictment accuses Bausch
& Lomb of combining with the
German firm of Carl Zeiss to di-
vide markets and maintain prices
on military optical instruments. In
the bill of particulars is an agree
ment made between the two con-
Germs in 1925, slightly modifying
an earlier compact dated 1921.

ASKED FOR AID
To Give Help And
Advice To Registrars
In National Draft

State Commander John Sokolow-
ski announced today that he has
received an appeal from Governor
Stassen for aid from members of
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, The
Governor has appointed Advisory
Boards for Registrars in each of
the nineteen Judicial Districts of
the State. These Boards are COM
posed of three men each, but it Is
obvious that fifty-seven men cam
not begin to render proper assist
ance to more than $4,000 men who
have registered under the Selective
Service and Training Act Of 1910.
Therefore, said Governor Stassen,
because Of the experience and back
ground, and because of the posi-
ton Of high regard enjoyed in every
community by members of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, 1t is logical
that such men be asked to assist
in rendering aid to Registrants.
Commander Sokolowski Is today
advising all Post Commanders of
this appeal from the Governor, and
asking that they contact members
Of their respective Posts who would
be willing to serve and who are
eligible by training for the position
Of Associate Members Of Advisory
Boards for Registrars.
Commander Sokolowski urges all
members who are called upon, to
cooperate in the, performance Of
this patriotic duty.
