According to the booklet,
Thomas Edison, when asked about
this subject once at a Congression-
al hearing on patents, said:
"'I have heard and read num-
erous statements that many cor
poratiops buy valuable inventions
to suppress them, but no one cites
specific cases. l myself do not know
of a single case.

contended would lend the civil war
on patents and help the country to
remain on the industrial alert"
1.-The Senate Patents Committee
hearing conducted by Senator Bone
has shown no evidence of anything
wrong with invention or patent
laws" Mr.. Hackley said. "If there
have been abusive uses of patents,
it has been more because of fail
ure of the antitrust division of the
Department of Justice to enforce
the laws on the books than because
of lack of legislation"

YOUNG DRIVERS
 FACE NEW RULES
New Applicants Must Wait 30 Days Before Tak-
 ing Tests

According to a new ruling by Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy, no minor applying for a Connecticut drivers license will be allowed to take the drivers test until 30 days after registering his intention to do so, 1t was announced today.
 The new ruling applies only to persons between the ages of 16 and 18. Its purpose is to allow the young driver time for driving instruction and study of the motor vehicle laws of the state. Investigation of his eligibility will be made during this time, it was explained.
 Connecticut law preScribes that no license shall be issued until "the commissioner is satisfied that the applicant is over IS years of age and is a suitable person to receive such a license.
 Minors must have the written permission of parents or guardian before a license will be issued to them and may drive only insured cars.
 Licenses to be issued to minors for the 1942 period, which begins on May 1, will be printed on green paper and will carry the statement: This license is valid only for the operation of insured vehicles"
 Previously, a standard license form was used for minors with the word minor" stamped on it. The new form is meant to give added emphasis to the fact that the young operator has no right to be driving an uninsured car.
