ComlnissionerExp
To See Patent Accord
Signing by f947

Patent Commissioner Casper w.
Ooms said today he expects the
patent accord signed in London in
July will be effective on January /,
providing for the free licensing of
all former German patents and
meaning that industries using those
patents will be able to do an export
business as well as a domestic busi-
ness.
Mr.. Ooms signed the agreement
in London for the United States
and other signatories were Great
Britain, France and the Neither
lands. Three more nations must
sign before the end Of the year to
make the accord effective.
Mr.. Ooms pointed out that by
controlling the use Of the former
German patent a nation could con-
troll imports. For example, an article
manufactured in this country under
the policy Of free licensing to all
of the German patents, would face
infringement action If imported into
another country if that country had
granted an exclusive license under
the same patent.
The United States seized about
IS 900 German patents on the out
break of war with Germany. There
are about $4,000 former German
patents in France, seized after the
occupation, and constituting about
half the total patents in that coun-
try. About half of these were issued
during the German occupation and
reflect wartime developments.
The agfeement negotiated in
London provides for the licensing
without royalty of the German
patents to the nationals of all gov
ernmentS which are party to the
accord, or the dedication of those
patents to the public" Mr.. Ooms
explained.
In the United States the alien
property custodian has granted
about 2200 licenses covering about
1000 of the former German-owned
patents.
In addition to the four nations
which have signed the London
agreement, the governments repre-
sented were those Of Norway, Den

L. S. turkey growers will produce
fewer birds in 1916 than last year,
but predictions now are made that
the 1947 crop of turkeys may exceed
that of 1945. Improvement in feed
supplies and good prices for the
birds for the past four years are
inducements for the expansion.
The 1916 support price on Ohio
potatoes is S2.10 per hundredweight
for U. S. No. / grade. Loan values
on the same grade of potatoes are
$1.20 a hundredweight. Potatoes
sold to the government at the sup
port price must be delivered sacked,
graded, or in bulk at the govern
ment's option. Fair price differen-
tials are made between bulk and
sacked potatoes. Support prices have
not been necessary so far in Ohio
but are available if needed.

Diplomatic Reshuffling

| President Truman appears to have
made as happy a choice in the next
Ambassador to the Court Of St. James
as Britain in it's Ambassador designate
to Washington.
w. Averell Hartman, who will
represent this nation in London, is
not only familiar with Russian affairs
and policies. He is also we'll known in
the British capital where he served
as Lend-Lease expediter on the British
American Shipping Adjustment Board
and as the War Production Boards
deputy on production. He thus enjoys
a double advantage which should be
highly valuable to Washington and
London.
Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, who will
succeed Lord Halifax at the British
embassy in Washington, likewise has
served as his nations Ambassador to
Russia, in addition to associating with
Mr.. Hartman and the Russian deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky on
Joint missions of investigation authoriz-
ed by the Big Three. He, too, then,
will enter upon his new duties as a
veteran.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Hartman
lacks the retiring American Ambassa-
doris close contact with the British
Labor government, he possesses extra
ordinary diplomatic qualifications which
should. overcome any handicap this
might create.
The envoy he replaces, John W..
Winant, who had stipulated that he be
permitted to resign when the war ended
in accepting President Roosevelt's ap-
pointment to the London post, becomes
the United States permanent delegate
on the United Nations Economic and
Social Council, and General Walter
Bedell Smith goes to Moscow as United
States Ambassador.
The reshuffling of top ENJOYS gives
promise of producing kindlier feeling
and greater cooperation in the Big
Three capitals.
The Wilmington morning star., 1946-03-25
Day Of Testing

This is the day of testing. In New
York the United Nations Security
Council is to assemble. In all probability
the Russo Iranian dispute will be
brought up, unless the Introductory
speech-making is too long drawn out.
Once it is introduced there can be
no drawing back. The Council must take
final action before adjournment, or
admit to the world that it is incapable
of settling major controversies, for
which it was set up.
There is rumor that the Russians
may withdraw their troops from Iran,
the presence Of which is the chief bone
of contention. If they do, a great issue
will have been decided. If they do not,
IStalin's recent declaration that the
Soviet Union is four-square behind the
United Nations Organization will have
been mere window-dressing.
So much depends upon the DISPOSE
ton of this issue, in connection with
world peace, the days proceedings at
New York will be watched with anxiety,
even trepidation, in all capitals. Even
should the matter be delayed and
Russia's withdrawal fail to materialize,
the anxiety will increase with every
days postponement.

Red Cross Goal Passed

The people of Wilmington have never
failed the Red Cross. The reason IS
not only because the local chapter has
established a reputation for efficiency
throughout the war years and for long
before. It is also because the Red
Cross everywhere is always on the job
wherever human suffering is to be
relieved
So the people Of Wilmington have
come to it's aid again, nobly oversub-
scribing the quota assigned them IN
the annual campaign for funds. With
the goal set at Sal, 900, Saturday night
found the gifts totaling s50,023, with
some working teams unreported. When
the final count is taken this amount
inevitably will be raised.
Well done, Wilmington.

Help Feed The Starving

Although many rules and sugges-
tons are promulgated for observance
in connection with the nations effort
to save human lives in Europe and
Asia from starvation, they all narrow
down to the simple fact that by con-
serving grains and fats the spread of
famine may be checked.
Surely there is nothing in this to
complain of or that imposes actual sac
rifice on any one.
Bakers and proprietors of public eat
ing places in Wilmington have gladly
given their pledge to cooperate to the
full in the program. This leaves only
the housewives who buy for the family
table to fall in line. AS they have not
yet resisted any reasonable request of
government during the most trying
time of our national existence, they
certainly will not do so now.
Public observance is the better as
sured by the fact that cooperation is
voluntary. There are no OPA directives
or orders to be enforced by the gestapo
methods which created widespread re-
volt against that bureaucratic agency
during the war. Buyers are merely
urged to consider the plight of the mil
lions abroad who are in actual want and
