D. {. Unit Studies
ReIief-Cut Threat

The threat of another cut in the
size of relief payments was to be
studied today by the District Sub
committee of the House Appropria-
tions Committee.
Welfare officials say an 8 per
cent cut in relief grants will have
to be made, on top of an earlier
IL per cent cut, unless Congress
approves requested supplemental
appropriation of $4,000.
Representative Bates, Democrat,
of Kentucky, head of the funds
subcommittee, said he hopes to
wind up hearings today on the
budget requests for $7,273,000 in
supplemental appropriations, in
cluding the extra relief funds.
He said his subcommittee will
act promptly to get the resulting
decisions to the full House Ap-
propriations Committee and on the
way to the House. Most of the re-
quested extra funds are to cover
costs of the legislated pay raises
for city employees in line with 1948
Federal pay boosts.
A number of city executives were
examined yesterday on their re-
quests for extra funds for variety
OF divisions and services.

Patent Reorganization
Opposed by NAM as |
Peril 10 Best System
Bv the Associofed Press

The National Association of
Manufacturers said today Presi-
dent Truman's reorganization plan
for the Patent Office might en-
danger administration of "the best
patent system in the world"
The NAM came out against the
proposal. No. 5 in a list of 81
reorganization plans MI. Truman
submitted to Congress last month.
The organizations views were
presented to the House and Senate
Expenditures Committees by
George E. Folk, adviser to the
MANS Committee on Patents and
Research.
Mr.. Folk said in his prepared
testimony that the plan would
give the Secretary of Commerce
too much control over the Patent
Office, which now is an independ-
ent agency within the Commerce
Department.
The authority thus vested in
the Secretary of Commerce would
enable him for political or some
other motive to jeopardize admin
istration of the Patent Office, 4"
Mr.. Folk said.
1T is generally recognized that
the United States patent system
is the best in the world and that
its functions should not be i'm
paired" he added. Nevertheless,
there has been from various
sources a determined attack upon
our patent system"
II one Of these attackers ever
should become Secretary of Com
merce, the witness said, under plan
No. "he could without author
ization by Congress, do much to
modify and destroy the efficiency"
Of the system.

ASSOCIATED Press Sportswriter)

Paul Richards, Manager of the
Seattle Rainiers, wins baseball
games by keeping one eye on the
ball and the other on the rule book
For example: what happens when
your man belts a homer and skips
second base on his way around
the diamond?
Richards had better answer to
that one than Oakland did last
night and it cost the Oaks 7 to 6
setback in the first game of a Pa
cific Coast League doubleheader.
The homer came off the bat of
Seattles AL Lyons during six-run
second inning. Lyons thought his
swat was merely another outfield
fly. So when he cut second base,
Oakland called for a new ball from
plate umpire Bill Engelin and tossed
it to second for the putout-or so it
seemed.
No, Richards pointed out during
the ensuing rhubarb, you have to
