Vernon M. Dorsey has been q
Washington lawyer too long
almost 60 years-to criticize the
Supreme Court. and he won't
start doing it now that a majority
ruling has criticized him.
The veteran patent attorney,
who lives in Arlington County and
who will be 80 on December !,
still practices law here. His office
is in the National Press Building.
The high courts decision uphold
ing a 1945 disbarment order by
the Patent Office naturally came
as a blow after all these years. 7"
he conceded today.
But the less I say about it. the
better" he added. That was the
extent of his comment on his long
legal battle that grew out OF an
incident in 1926, came to head
10 years ago. developed into Pat
ent Office hearings in 1944-45, and
went through the District Court
and United States Court Of APP
peals, before ending in the Su-
preme Court.
Consoled by Dissent.
He can-and does-f1nd conso-
lation in the dissenting opinion by
Justice Jackson, in which Justice
Frankfurter concurred. That opin-
ion saw no reason why Mr., Dorsey
should have been so harshly treat
ed by the Patent Office when, &C
cording to the dissenters. he was
nothing worse than party to an
old Washington custom Of ghost
writing"
The majority decision means
that MIR. Dorsey, after his many
years as a patent attorney, is per-
manently prevented from practic-
ing before the Patent Office. It
does not disbar him as an attorney.
Despite the setback Mr.. Dorsey
finds another source of comfort.
besides the Court of Appeals deci-
sion and the Observation-Disclosures
dissent in his favor. He said today
that he interprets the high court
ruling and the court proceedings
in general as having cast no re-
Election on his moral character.
Parties Questions.
+ In vigorous. joVial but firm
voice, he parried questions about
his career and future plans. The
story of the legal battle is all in
the record. he noted. If the Su-
preme Court decision had gone the
other way. he chuckled. he might
have been inclined to comment
more expansively on the story and
his life in general.
In October, 1926, Mr.. Dorsey. as
Washington attorney for the Hart
ford-Empire Co. of Connecticut.
filed a supplement to the COM
pany's application for a patent for
an apparatus to feed molten glass.
The supplement contained trade
journal article under the name OF
William P. Clarke. then president
of the glass workers union. ex-
planning and commencing the ap-
paratus. The patent was issued in
January, 1928.
That article also was used in
connection with a 1882 patent in
fringement case brought by the
Hazel Atlas Co. against Hartford
Empire. The Supreme Court. In
1874, ruled for Hazel Atlas. Mean.

Held Equal

Daniel ]. Seid, agent for Coast
wise Lines, said today in Seward
that commercial freight rates for
all steamship lines are equal. The
rates on freight to Seward are
according to published tariffs of
the steamship companies.
Rates on rail freight to the In
terror, however, are determined
by The Alaska Railroad, and all
steamship lines carrying goods
for shipment on the railroad are
subject to those rates.
Rates on transportation of gov
eminent materials are not subject
to commercial tariffs, he said,
but are agreed rates"
There was no cutting of rates
concerned in the present discus
sion concerning the transporta-
ton of railroad equipment, &C
cording to Seid. The difference in
cost was solely due to handling at
the docks and loading on the ship.
j. T. Flakne, official of the De-
partment of the Interior, had
stated that it cost $4,000 less to
ship locomotive for The Alaska
Railroad from Portland than from
Seattle.
According to the Coastwise
agent, the Alaska Steamship Com
pafE had the first opportunity to
bid on the job of transporting the
equipment.
When talking Of the equality of
freight rates Seid pointed out that
his company vas able to pisis I 2
freight shipments originating at
southern ports, and thus save thu
extra handling involved in trans
porting such cargo by rail or
truck to Seattle.

Assault Charge
Dismissed in
S|aydon Case

Charges of assault with a deadly
weapon, brought against Bobby
Slaydon, were dismisseds Monday
because of a lack of substantial
ing evidence.
The charges were brought
against Slaydon by Clarence r..
DeWolfe and George Discher. De-
Wolfe, janitor at the Seward Pub
lie School, charged that he and
Discher had been attacked by
Slaydon on Slaydon's trapline at
a point beyond the old Naval
radio station some time after 10
am. Friday.
DeWolfe stated that this is "a
free country" and that he felt it
was his privilege to trap where he
pleased, in answer to questions
by the attorney for the defendant.
DeWolfe stated that Slaydon
had swung at him with a rifle but
had not hit him. Then DeWolfe
said that he had struck at Stay
don with his rifle and struck him.
Slaydon testified that he had
been struck on the head three
times from behind by Discher
with something" He showed
three decorations in the scalp on
the back of his head, two of
which had required stitches.
In most localities the fact that
a man has established a trapline
and worked it makes it his, pref
ty much in the same manner that
a man owns boat or any other
piece of property he has bought
or made.
While the alteration had de-
veloped through a discussion of
the right to trap on Slaydons
trap line, this question did not
enter into the preliminary hear
ing. The sole point in question
was whether Slaydon had commit
ted assault with a deadly weapon
The court decided that, according
to the evidence presented. he had
not.

Lesko Spikes
New Political
Rumlor

George Lesko Saturday evening
effectively spiked the current
rumor that he has his aye on the
mayors office. Lesko fatty de-
MED that he harbOrs any thought
Of being a candidate in the April
election.
Lesko said he had no know
ledge of the source of the rumor,
but he said he felt that it would
be necessary to put all his avail
able time toward his work with
the Chamber of Commerce.
eff we can get the Chamber of
Commerce working effectively
this year." he said, 1--WE will be
aiding every business in Seward,
and every resident in Seward
should profit by it,
In speaking OF the coming cleo
ton, Lesko offered to make
$500 bet that no candidate,
either for mayor or councilman,
would announce his intention of
running for office more than
week before the date of the cleo
ton.
While Lesbos declaration is
merely a negative one, it is the
first statement that has been
made on the subject this year.
Gene Lanier, who is the present
mayor, has signified an unwilling
ness to be a candidate, but so far
he has made no definite state
, mcnt.
No doubt the decision to be-
come a candidate for office is a
difficult one, since there is no
pay involved and it is task
| which requires a great deal of
time and tact.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 3.-Johnny
Nicholson. youthful coach of the
National Football Leagues Pitts
burgh Steelers, is easily the top
nominee for pro footballs man
on the spot"
Nicholson is winging eastward
today after fruitless trip to the
MidWest-a trip in which he
learned he will have to get along
without Halfback Ray Evans,
former star at Kansas University.
Fourteen Vets Unsigned.
That roadblock is big enough in
itself but without it Nicholson
already had his troubles. With
training camp opening next Sum-
day no fewer than IA veteran
Steelers have failed to come to
terms.
The men can't be classified as
holdouts but there's more than a
fair chance some of the IA won't
be on hand for the first practice
sessions. Club officials don't have
much to say about the situation
except that some salary slashes
were necessary after a $4,000
deficit last year.
Nicholson had counted heavily
on Evans to spark his single wing

attack. But Evans. who picked up
$4,000 in his freshman year. was
not at all responsive to Steeler
offers and said he'd stick to
banking career.
His decision apparently wipes
out the trio of tailbacks on the
Steeler roster last year. Waivers
have been asked on Gonzales Mo-
rales and the status of John
(Zero) Clement is doubtful. Glenn
ent suffered a shoulder injury last
season and hasn't signed this year.
That leaves Bobby Gage, triple
threat man from Clemson as the
man around whom the Steeler
attack may be built. Though
Gage was star at Clemson, this
is his first year in the pro game.
Right now Nicholson is worry
ing about these other backs who
haven't signed-Bob Cifers. Tony
Compagno, Jerry Shipkey, Joe
Gasparella, Charley Seabright and
George Papach.
Guards still outside the fold are
Leo Mobile, Red Moore and Bill
Cregar. Three tackles. too, have
failed to come to terms-John
Mastrangelo. Hub Shurtz and
Frank Wydo.
Hopeful About Jansante.
Val Jansante, star end, hasn't
sent in his contract but Steeler
officials are hopeful they'll hear
from him soon.
Even if the front Office gets all
the squad signed and in the Cam
bridge Springs (PaD training
camp next week, Michelosen'
worries will have only begun. He
learned in his first year that Pitts
burgh is like any other pro foot
ball town-it loves a winner. And
Nicholson, who won only four
while losing eight, is working on
the last year of a tWo-year con-
tract he signed when he stepped
into the mighty shoes of the late
Jock Sutherland.
