Renegotiation Case
Studied by Court

After hearing arguments by op-
posing attorneys, Justice James w
Morris Of District Court late yester-
day took under advisement a Gov
ernment motion to dismiss a suit
filed last month by Rolls-Royce
Inc, of Michigan, seeking TO prevent
Secretary of War StimSon from re-
negotiating the firms war contracts
under the Renegotiation Act.
The firm. besides claiming the act
is unconstitutional, claims it gives
the Secretary of War no power tC
make the firm reveal its patents
and other trade secrets. Attorney
Charles F. Short, jr.. of Chicago
who with Attorney Justin l.. Edger-
ton of this city, represents the firm
yesterday argued that the act does
not provide for renegotiation on 8
total sales basis.
Joseph A. Fanelli, special assistant
to the Attorney General and A
Morris Kobrick, attorney OF the
Justice Department, contended that
the firm has no case for court
action. The Government attorneys
in turn held that the firm would
first have to exhaust its administra-
tive remedies, through renegotia-
ton prior to obtaining court relief
The firm, the suit said, is en-
gagged in the manufacture of air
plane engine parts.
Prior to lease LEND, the total
value OF items sent abroad was
approximately 5000 900. Since
then more than $4,000 900 addi-
tional has been contracted for anc

Victory for the Presidents Fair

appeared likely today as the Senate
approached vote on the $500, 900
item Ia the War agencies appropri-
alton bill to run the committee for
the next fiscal year.
Led. By Senator Russell, Demo-
crat. of Georgia, Southern Senators
have attacked the Presidents au.
thority to create such an agency by
executive order. They will try to.
eliminate the entire amount or to,
curb the committees power.
Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi planned one-hour orator.

built around the theme that "ra-

hope of disposing of the con-
troversial issue.
Senators Mead, Democrat, OF New
York and Chavez, Democrat, Of New
Mexico, yesterday defended the
committees work in seeking to pre-
vent racial or other discrimination
in war jobs, after Senator Eastland,
Democrat, of Mississippi had car
ried on the opposition. Senator
Eastland pictured the committee rs
a vehicle of Communism.
Acting Chairman McKellar Of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
expressed the hope the issue would
be voted on early this afternoon
so that the Senate may proceed to
clean up 10 other annual appropria-
ton bills that must be passed this
week if Congress is to recess for
the political conventions.
The FEPC is the last issue re-

Western Firm Is Loser
In Appeal on Patent Case

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday ruled that a patent
claim should not be granted where
1t appears that the patentee expects
to use it not for manufacture and
sale, but to protect another patent
claim
In its ruling, the Court of Appeals
affirmed a District Court decision
which had sustained the commits
sioner of patents in his refusal to
issue patent to the Special Equip
ment Co., Western firm, on a
ssubcombination" of parts of a de-
vice used to cut, peal and core pears
for canning.
The Appellate Court decision writ
ten by Justice Thurman Arnold,
said in part:
IF the record shows that the
pst4nt claim is made for the un-
laWul purpose of protecting an
other patent it is an unlawful
patent. This does not mean that
the applicant must guarantee pro-
duction Of the article or process
covered by the claim"
A concurring opinion was writ
ten by Justice Justin Miller. JUS

Conferees Deadlock
On Textile Proposal
In Price-ControI Bill

BY the AsSoc<<ted FreSs.
A deadlock over the proposal
to raise some cotton textile price
ceilings barred the way today to
approval by Senate-House con-
ferees of the bill to continue
wartime price and wage controls
for another year.
All other controversies in the bill
were resolved by the conferees after
Is hours of sessions ending at 1870
a m. today. One of the most con-
troversial provisions, the House-ap-
proved amendment by Representa-
tive Dirksen, Republican, Of Illinois,
to throw all OPA regulations open
to review by Federal courts, was
stricken out Of the bill entirely.
The conferees also struck out the
amendment by Representative Pace,
Democrat, of Georgia to penalize
professors who fail to pay parity
prices on agricultural commodities
The administration had strongly op-
posed the Dirksen amendment, but
supported the Pace amendment
The 14-member committee met
again at II am. today in an effort
to break the stalemate over the cot
ton proposal of Senator Bankhead
Democrat, of Alabama, provision
which administration spokesmen
say would bring on the veto of Pres
ident Roosevelt, who has criticized
it as inflationary.
In the event of an unsuccessful
meeting this morning, the issue was
to be put up to the full Senate
membership.
The amendment by Senator Bank
head would require textile ceilings
/ to be adjusted so as to reflect a
parity price for cotton plus manu-
! featuring costs and a reasonable
profit for millers.
The special sessions of the con-
ferees are being held in an effort
TO clear up pressing legislative mat
/ ters so Congress may recess for the
national conventions. With this In
view, the House went into session at
| 10 am, two hours earlier than
usual, to hasten its work on various
appropriation bills that must be
gotten out of the way.

President Wallace, visiting China as
the personal representative of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, arrived in this war
capital today ana Immediately
urged closer relations between
China and Siberia.
The Vice President, in a state

Chinese Ambassador to the United
States, as having said the boundary
between Siberia and China should
be like the frontier between the
United States and Canada-not one
of separation, but one of joining
friends together"
Mr.. Wallace said he wanted to see
the land, talk with farmers, visit
Chinese and American soldiers and
above all discuss with Generalissimo

tual interest and concern"
