Law Asked 10 Permit
Limited Suspension
OF Antitrust Act
War ond Navy Aides
And Nelson Jointly
Recommend Action
Nv tho Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The. Acting Secretaries of War and
Navy and the chairman OF the War
Production Board have jointly rec
commended legislation to permit lin
tied suspension Of tne antitrust
laws when needed as an aid to the
war effort.
In a letter to Chairman Van Nuys
of the Senate Judiciary Committee
the three officials declared that 1T
is believed that the enactment OF
the proposed legislation will greatly
aid the power of the Government In
securing the cooperation OF indus
trial units" in certain cases.
THE Government must insist,
the letter said, that materials and
facilities be allocated in such way
as to assure the greatest possible
output in the shortest possible time
In cases where a certain minimum
of civilian needs must be met, 1t
may become advisable to concen-
trate production of that minimum
amount in one or two plants and re-
uuire all other manufacturing units
in that industry to pool and eX-
change their machinery for the pur-
pose of attaining maximum war
production.
ITO accomplish these results will
involve arrangements which might
ordinarily raise questions as to the
violations of the antitrust laws. -
while in our opinion these ar
rangements are within the power of
the Attorney General and do, in ef-
feet, grant legal immunity to all
participants who are complying
with requests made to them by the
War Production Board, nevertheless
the scope of these arrangements has
sometimes been necessarily re-
stricted because of the antitrust
laws and in addition, many busi-
nessmen are hesitant about entering
into these arrangements, fearing
that at some later date another At
torney General may take different
view of their validity and under
take to subject the participants to
litigation or even prosecution"
The letter was written on May 10
and signed by Undersecretary of
War Robert F. Patterson and Under
secretary of the Navy James v. For
restal, acting secretaries at that
time because of the absence of Sec
retaries Stimson and Knox, and by
Donald M. Nelson, w. P. B. chief.

High Court Upho|ds
Shoe Machine Patent
In 6-to-3 Decision
Texos Writer Wins Right
To Sue Express Firm
For Delivery Failure

In q decision which provoked a
sharp dissent by Justices Black,
Douglas and Murphy, the Supreme
Court yesterday upheld the validity
of a patent owned by the United
Shoe Machinery Corp. of Boston
for which 1877 claims were made.
If judicial approval is to be
given to patents Of this kind, the
public benefits which might reason
ably he hoped for under constitu-
tional provisions and the Federal
statutes relating to patents can
never be attained" Justice Black
wrote.
The litigation involved an in
fringment suit filed by United Shoe
against the Williams Manufactur-
ing Co. of Portsmouth, Ohio. COW
ering q heel-lasting machine. The
majority opinion, by Justice Roberts,
who was joined by the five other
members Of the court, held that q
combination Of improvements on
the United machine was patentable
Justice Black, however, contended
the patents total impact is ap-
palling." He termed it "one of a
group which seems to have an in
terminable capacity for self-perpet-
uation.'
The court also came to the aid of
a Texas writer yesterday, holding
that the Federal District Court In
Waco had ruled incorrectly in dis
missing, on junsdictional grounds, a
suit brought by Robert L. Peyton Of
Waco, who sought $750,000 damages

Does Discrimination
Defeat You?
BY Airline Paiya

When you meet discrimination.
do you give up? Or when you
think of your future career, do
you say ooh, what's the use ?"
Do you feel that no one is inter-
ested in your problems Well,
there are many people and organ
izations interested in these and
other problems young people are
facing today. These organizations
are cooperating to bring young
people the opportunity to discuss
their problems, to face them rea-
istically, and to see what can be
done about it. This opportunity
will be the Vocational Guidance
Conference sponsored by the Al
pha Kappa Alpha Sorority and
scheduled for May 2.
Perhaps you are a parent. and
have grieved when your boy or
girl has given up under the pres
sure of prejudice and discrimina-
ton. Now the Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority and the cooperating or
CARNATIONS do not pretend to have
all of he answers, but they do
think that by mutual discussion of
these problems and an exchange
of ideas, those participating win
arrive at some very helpful sug-
gestions.

Hutchen, considered that it was
proper and practical to appoint
someone to accompany the proba-
toner and break him into the du-
ties. Such an arrangement was
made with reference to both men.
1T is admitted that the position
is one requiring tact and diploma
cy to secure the confidence and
cooperation of the managers and
employees of the plants to be in
spected. The testimony stresses
that it is important to the de-
partment to have a man in the
position who will understand this
and act accordingly. In spite of
this, both DR.. Johnson and Mr..
Sells admit that they gave no sug-
gestions to Mr.. Hutchen, that they
did not talk over with him the
policy and methods of the depart
ment, and that they did not intro
duce him at the plants to any of
the managers or employees. On
the contrary, they stood aloof and
obviously indicated that Hutchen
did not have their confidence or
approval. Their conduct could not
have been better designed to I'M
dermine the probationer and to
render the performance of his du-
ties impracticable.
The Commission is therefore of
the opinion that Mr.. Hutchins has
not yet had the opportunity o
demonstrate his fitness to perform
the duties of his position, and
therefore the Commission refuses
to consent to his dismissal. This
decision, of course, is without pre-
JUDGE to any future action the
department may feel impelled to
take after further employment of
Mr. Hutchen and before his pro-
stationary period is completed.
Because the foregoing facts in
dictate a clear intent upon the part
of Mr.. Underhill, DIR. Johnson and
Mr.. Sells to obstruct the admin
istration of civil service rules and
practices, the Commission feels
impelled to administer a repri-
mand to each of these men and to
state that in its opinion, they have
been guilty of conduct unbecom-
ing experience and intelligent City
employees.

Many friends enjoyed the very
splendid service presented by the
men. Mr.. Little was gracious in
his manners and very careful in
following his thoughts. The men
went over in a great Christian
manner. The friendly rival bet
ween the women and the men was
pleasant and warrants repetition.
Next Sunday, April 26, is Youth
day. During the morning hour of
worship, eleven o'clock, the youth
of the church will have charge of
the service, with Miss Joyce Coo
per, chairman. The young people
o fthe entire city are invited and
are expected to be present. They
will fill the choir with their music
and song.
The Pulpit committee announc-
ed the decision has been reached
in the matter of securing pastor
for the church, and will be given
to the church within a short per-
iod of time. The church is burn
ing with enthusiasm over the good
news and is setting about to make
arrangements for the acceptance.
Many thanks to the committee.
Look out for the appearance of
Robert Johnson, in song recital.

YWCA Library Project
Outstanding Success
BY Airline Paiya

Much credit is due Mrs. G. L.
Mccullough for the magnificent
effort made to establish library
at the YWCA. With her corps
of workers, Mrs. Mccullough So
licited funds, books, and contrib
utions with the result that the
shelves purchased have been filled,
and enough books have been col
lected or promised to fill an equal
number of additional shelves.
Those donating books who have
not been previously reported in
clude: Mrs. Fay Nichols, Mrs.
James Seeley, Mrs. Cora Spencer,
George Hobbs, VIM. Dixon.
A. Mrs. Olivet Docket and Mrs.
Jessie Shields. Mrs. Jack Martin
of Portland writes that she will
contribute a shelf of books.
The card party sponsored by
Mrs. Mccullough Sat. night was a
huge success. She reports $58.57
on hand with additional workers 60
check in. 1t is hoped that the
amount will exceed sixty dollars.
The project was under the auspices
of the Women's Study Club of
which Mrs. Candace Black is pre-
sident.
This is the second large project
Mrs. Mccullough has sponsored
for the YWCA. The other also
was $50 card party" and fur
nished the organization with a
wealth of sturdy card tables which
have been most useful in variety
of ways. Mrs. Mccullough thanks
the committee members and
friends who helped to make the
present effort a grand success.
A painful, though not serious,
accident at the YWCA Saturday
night revealed the fact that this
organization has no first aid kit
or supplies. This suggests a need
ed project for some wide-awake
organization.
