"Ambi."
Justice Edgerton used the word to
illustrate a point in trade mark
case. The Dixie Rose Nursery OF
Tyler, Tex, sued to have the court

for a certain rose. The mark con-
sisted Of the words Texas Centen-

of q variety of rose which is pat

grown only by it. However, it is
widely known throughout the rose
trade by this name and persons

original stock came from the Dixie
Nursery, the judges opinion pointed
out.
After tracing these facts Justice
Edgerton said:
If man should invent a COM
bination automobile and airplane,
and call it an Ambi, the name would
at first be arbitrary and not de-
scriptive. But If the name were
applied, for q considerable period,
to all such combinations and to
nothing else, the name would come
to identity or describe the thing, as

Senator'S Prepare
QUESTIONABLE on

Burton Subcommittee
Plans No Further Action
Pending Virginia Hearing

Senator Burton Of Ohio, chairman
OF q special Senate subcommittee,
studying Washington's wartime
transportation and traffic problems,
today prepared . questionnaire for
the Washington d Old Dominion
Railroad Co. to answer in connection
with the Ballantine report recon-
mending re-establishment Of pas
senger service on It's line between
Rosslyn and Leesburg, Va.
Aside from seeking this informa-
ton, Senator Burton said the SUBJ
committee would take no further
action until the Virginia State
Corporation Commission. completes
hearings on the plan. The commits
sion will begin bearings next Mon
day in Richmond.
THE Virginia commission has jul
risdiction in this case and II it takes
care of it that may end the matter"
said Senator Burton.
Our subcommittee has no inten.
ton Of interfering with the Vir-
ginia commission. I believe the
company can answer the inquiry for
the subcommittee without causing
any interference with the commits
sion"
The report, which also is the sub
ject Of study by the ONCE of Defense
Transportation, was drafted by
Noten D. Ballantine, nationally
known transportation consultant.
It declared the railroad could place
one or more passenger schedules in
operation each day without any
capital investment and at 4 rela-
lively nominal expense"
The study was undertaken at the
request OF the Rabey Engineering
Corp. OF New York City, which
sought to determine whether one OF
its specially designed automobile
power units would operate on the
line. After a survey, he reported he
did not believe these units would
function properly in this particular
case because of heavy grades and
curves encountered.
Shortly after Mr.. Ballantine be-
gan his study, the Virginia commits
sion and ODT requested him to ex-
tend his investigation to find out
whether there was a demand for
passenger service. On this question
he reported that when the railroad
abandoned passenger service in
April. 1941. there was plenty of rub
Der and gasoline available and be-
cause OF the character of its service
there was little public use made of
the line. To-day, OF course" he de-
clared, the situation has changed. :"

Viehy Reports DorIon
Stripped of Commands

VICHY From French Broad
casts), Nov. Is tP).-The Vichy radio
today broadcast declaration in the
name of Marshal Petain declaring
that Admiral Jean Darlan has
been dismissed from all public func-
tions and all military commands.
The first brief announcement was
followed by broadcast communi-
que attributed to the ministry of in
formation, which said:
The Morocco radio has just
broadcast a proclamation by Admi-
raj Darlan which constitutes an
actual appeal to dissidence.
GAS soon as the chief of state
(Marshal Petain) had knowledge of
this document he addressed all of
Metropolitan France and the empire
as follows:
admiral Darlan, in a declara-
ton, has dared declare that I am
in a position in which it is impos-
sible for me to make known my
intimate thoughts to the people of
France, and he pretends to act in my
name.
"'I am not a man to yield to
force. To insinuate to the contrary
is to insult me.
AT the moment Africa was at
tackled I entrusted Admiral Darlan
with defense of the French sove-
reignty. of which am the guardian.
From the very beginning, the
admiral did not hesitate to enter
into an agreement with the adver-
sary, and, In giving the premature
order to cease fire, disorganized re-
sistance and shattered the morale
Of the troops.
"'I had repeatedly confirmed the
order to defend Africa.
He has failed to recognize the
order solely under the pretext of
preventing a rebel chief and felon,
Gen. Giraud, from usurping COM
mand of these troops.
To-day he has confirmed his
nomination.
"'Gen. Giraud has been selected
by those foreign powers who brought
the war to French territory. The
admiral has thus placed himself out
side the national community.
"rI hereby declare that he has
been deprived of all public functions
and every military command
