CUH MEEVASIEM
 On wednesday of last week lost a friend i, Ben Bernie died {. Many people liked Ben Bernie. Be- cause Ben Bernie liked many people x. Ben had more than acting tale ent The fact iS--the easy good nature known to millions of Amert- cans was not an act A human being himself, he really loved his felloWnei1.
 Ben Bernie's life was an example of the opportunity America offers a son of poor immigrant parents. And his death is an example of the devotion these Americans have for their country.
 Ben was warned by his doctors that his bond drive engagements and his many, many appearances at Army camps and war plants were too much for his strength But Ben kept on And he died.
 How much his bit helped cannot, of course, be measured But this we know. He continued in the fight against the orders of Govern ment authorities, his doctors and the entreaties of his family And now his effort is ended Because over and beyond the call of duty, Ben Bernie tried to give his coun- try more than he had.
 Open letter to Herbert Bayard Swope of Secy of War Stimson's office: We would like to ask Q few simple questions on Military Law .. Under what section can @ gen. eral deprive a private of his per- sonal property, if that property happens to be Under Cover? =. |. If there an official list of approved books and newspapers? .. And who makes up the hstp
 We ask the above questions be- cause of letters like the following, which is only one of too many: Dear MT. Wincheil: l heard you recommend Under Cover and tried to get 1t from the hospital library but was told that the army will not allow the book in its circulation. Just as I was told this, I noticed Hitler's New Order on the rack. Sincerely"
 Robert Ley, the Nazi party's prob- lem drunk, got sober enough the other day to have good scare. He began to sort of realize that it's getting down toward the pay-off, and things aren't looking too good for him To save his skin he tossed the Naz master race theory into the ashcan That was just campaign stuff, he scoffed, and shouldn't be taken seriously. We're all gflood fellas together, he or- ated, and we're just loving every body to pieces It happens that lush Ley is head of the Nazis' labor dept, and from where he sits he can get a worse set of dts. than he ever collected from schnapps. He knows that there are l2,- O00,000 prisoners of labor in the Reich, and 100000 able-bodied enemies represent a lot of hell when the time comes to raise 1t.
 The big weakness of Ley's scheme is that the soldiers are going to bring in their own accusations |. They saw the Nazi Idea at work in Italy, frinStance Farnsworth Folwell and John Lardner reported the butcheries of the ex-master race at Cajazzo, and if that crime isn't avenged, then victory will lack something This wasn't war. It was massacre for Nazi pleasure ..

Standard Oil Agrees
To Free High 0ctane
Patents 10 All
>
Will Make Processes
Available on Reasonable
Royalty Rote' Bosis

BY the Associated Press.
The Justice Department an
nounced today the filing of q
supplemental judgment under
which Standard Oil Co. OF New
Jersey will make available to all
persons at "a reasonable royalty
rate" licenses for certain patents
used in producing high octane
aviation gasoline by a low-cost
process which, it has been
claimed, will revolutionize the
automobile industry.
The supplemental action in an anti
trust suit was taken before Judge
William F. Smith in Federal District
Court at Newark, N j., where the
original consent decree under which
Standard was required to give I'M
restricted, royalty-free licenses dur
ing the war on synthetic rubber and
some other patents was filed March
25, 1912.
To Clarity Decree.
Today's action, the department
said, lis designed to clarity applica-
ton OF this decree to the catalytic
refining patents by specifying that
the compulsory licensing provisions
OF the decree applied to such patents,
though a reasonable royalty may be
charged"
Small refners will be enabled to
participate in the new low-cost
process for aviation gasoline and
other motor fuels, the department
said, adding that the patents being
made available also cover processes
involved in the production of
butadiene, used in making synthetic
rubber.
33 Units Being Built.
Standard Oil issued in New York
a statement which said construc-
ton of fluid catalytic refining units
had been proceeding under top pri-
critics pending settlement of the
patent and license question.
I'm accordance with the Govern
ment's program, it announced, "3
of these units, erected by some Is
dlfterent companies, will produce
high octane (gasoline) base stock,
butylenes for the synthetic rubber
program, and raw material for INT
(the explosive)."
1t pointed out that under the
agreement Standard will be en-
titled to require from companies
borrowing its fluid catalytic patents
related patents in cases where such
cross licenses might be necessary to
prevent Standard of New jersey
from being placed at competitive
disadvantage"
