"A vastly changed Maryland State

Some 1900 volunteers, including
more than 800 from nearby Wash

the State. and yesterday began the
first classes in six-day program of
field training. They will remain until

Patent Office Return
Awaits Freed Space,
Wallace Aide Explains

The Commerce Department does
not have control of all the space
in the Commerce Building, and d.
visions of the Patent Office now in
Richmond cannot be returned to
Washington until space is made
available.
This explanation was given yes
terday by Bernard l.. Gladieux.
executive assistant to Secretary of
Commerce Wallace.
The Patent Office Society as
serted In statement Saturday that
the backlog of patent applications
awaiting study has now reached
10000, and that many inventors
must wait more than a year for
official examination of their de-
vices.
Aware Work "Hampered."
Mr.. GladieuX said the depart
ment and Secretary Wallace are
"keenly aware" that the Patent
Office work sis hampered and made
difficult because it's operations are
now divided between Washington
and Richmond"
The chief occupant of space in
the Commerce Building is the Mari
time Commission, which is not even
part of the department. Small
amounts of space are used by the
War Shipping Administration. the
International Boundary Commits
sion and the Committee for Eco
nomic Development. The last
named is doing work in which the
department co-operates.
Also in the building is the Civil
eAeronautics Board, which is actual
ly an independent agency, but
which is there for administrative
purposes. The work of the Civil
Aeronautics Administration. which
is in the building and which is a
part of the Commerce Depart
ment, is linked with that of CAB
Gladieux's Statement.
Mr.. Gladieux said in his state
ment:
1T is the desire of the depart
ment to consolidate the work OF
the Patent ONCE in Washington as
soon as space can be provided.
Congress has provided funds for
the return of the Patent Once en-
ployes now in Richmond. and the
sole difficulty is that space is not
now available.
The Department of Commerce
does not now have control of all
the space in the Commerce Build
ing. as part of the building is oc-
cupied by other Government agen-
cies.
The consolidation of the Patent
Office cannot be carried out until
space is made available in the Com
merce Building through the trans
fer to new locations of non Com
merce Department agencies now
occupying space in the building, or
until space outside the building is
provided.

 GOOD NEWS

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Good news for motorists: The rubber in- dustry bids fair to surpass its tow ering production goal of 66,000,00O new passenger tires this year.
 Civilian production officials made this encouraging forecast today, saying the record output drive is being helped by new cotton yarn controls protecting tire cord sup plies.
 The industry's goal is l3,C0O,0OO tires more than the estimated 53,- GOO, 900 passenger castings produced in the previous banner year of l94l.
 Despite the present bright out look, however, CPA officials cau- tioned motorists that retail deal CTS probably will continue to run a week or two behind on tire de- liveries throghout the summer, catching up with day-to-day de- mand only in the final quarter of the year.

ward a harmonious solution when the Council meets at pm. (EST) tomorrow.
 Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Grom- yko fought to the last to push through his resolution to strike the Iranian case from the Councils agenda, but in the end he recog- nized his defeat by associating himself yesterday with a milder re- solution offered by French Dele gate Henri Bonnet.
 That Iranian Muddle
 The French proposal provided that the case be dropped from the agenda but it had an additional provision that the Secretary Gen. eral report to the General Assemb- ly on any new developments on the Iranian question.
 Bonnet's resolution, however, was defeated when it received only three of the Councils Il votes. It was supported only by Russia and Poland. All the other delegates during the debate had expressed a desire to keep the case on the agen- da until May 6, the date on which Russia has promised to have ail her troops out of Iran.
