AAA Penalty
Held Illegal

~
Columbus, o.. Mar. i6-lTNS -
Whether farmers may market their
wheat without payment Of 40
cent a bushel penalty hinged today
on plans OF the L. S. Department
OF Agriculture TO appeal a Dayton
Federal Court decision.
The court. comprising three
judges, ruled that the penalty
amounted to taking of property
without due process OF law because
the sum had. been increased from
Is TO 40 cents a bushel after the
1871 crop was planted.
Elmer A. Kruse. state AAA ad-
ministrator, said today that the
Department of Agriculture would
undoubtedly appeal the decision
but that final word would have to
come from Washington.
lie pointed out that Claude Wick
ard, Secretary of Agriculture. was
directly named defendant in the
action and that the text of the Day
ton decision would be forwarded
to his Office and not TO Ohio head
quarters in Columbus.
The decision on the penalty was
split one. Judges Robert r. Ne
win and John II. Druffel ruling the
higher penalty invalid and Judge
Florence H. Allen holding it valid.
II was given in an action brought
by Roscoe G. Filburn of Montgom-
cry County, in behalf Of himself
and group OF other farmers
The decision. however, was not
on validity OF the quota and penal
~ law itself, but merely on legality
OF the 40 cent penalty

Supreme Court Rules
Patent Holder Can't
Control Resale Price
Lens Company Contract
To Dispose of Product
Is Held Invalid
BY the Associated Press.

The Supreme Court ruled to-
day that the holder of a patent
cannot control the resale price
of patented articles which he has
sold"
Chief Justice Stone delivered the
8-to-0 opinion in holding invalid
contracts by which the Univis Lens
Co. OF Dayton, Ohio, disposed of
lens blanks for bifocal glasses to
wholesalers and retailers. Justice
jackson did not participate.
The lens company, together with
its affiliate, the Univis Corp, were
accused by the Justice Department
of violating the antitrust laws by
attempting to fix prices of its
product.
In another antitrust decision the
high court upheld the department S
contention that 10 manufacturers
or distributors of building materials
violated the Sherman Act through
agreements to fix prices in the hard
board industry. This decision was
Z to 0. with Justices Roberts and
jackson not participating.
Limited Monopoly.
THE declared purpose of the pat
ent law" Chief Justine Stone said
in the lens company opinion, lis to
promote the progress of science and
the useful arts. by granting to the
inventor a limited monopoly, the ex-
ercise of which will enable him to
secure the financial rewards for his
invention.
THE full extent of the monopoly
is the patentee'S exclusive right to
make, use and vend the. invention or
discovery
THE patentee may surrender his
monopoly in whole by the sale of his
patent or in part by the sale of an
article embodying the invention.
His monopoly remains so long as he
retains the ownership of the pat
ented article.
But sale of 1t exhausts the mo-
nopoly in that article and the
patentee may not thereafter, by
virtue of his patent. control the use
or disposition of the article. ."
Reconsideration Refused.
In the case involving the hard
board industry. the Justice Depart
ment said the Masonite Corp, manu-
facturer of more than 95 per cent
of the hardboard produced in this
country, had entered into agree
ments with the other concerns which
restrained interstate commerce.
The court refused to reconsider its
recent action in sustaining by a
four-to-four vote a Circuit Court
decision which was interpreted by
opposing litigants as holding that
under New York law it was "libelous
per Sc" to publish a false charge
that public official holds anti
Semitic views.
Justice Jackson did not participate
in the refusal.
The Supreme Courts April 13 ac-
tion, taken without a written opin-
ion because of the tie vote, directed
trial before the Northern New
York Federal District Court to de-
termine whether Representative
Sweeney, Democrat, of Ohio had
been libeled by statements published
in the Schenectady On. W Union
Star in 1888 that he was opposing
the appointment of a Jew as Fed
eral district Judge at Cleveland.
