Valley Funeral Home bumped up

ly this way. This was never seriously
discussed as an American solution.
But, the Presidents memorandum
does say that after three years of
exclusive rights the contractor should
be required to license other people
to make and sell the invention, par
ticularly if he doesn't want to do so
himself.
Also, that government rights might
be limited to the U.S.-in other
words, the contractor should be free
to patent world rights and make or
sell the invention abroad, thus pro-
noting our foreign trade.
Chances are this directive won't
change things much. Senator McClel-
Ian, for one, points out that it would
still require codification, and inn
portant changes in the laws. The
corporations would be alert, but very
few of the American people even

ONLY $50 IN DUES
IN TWO YEARS

Only $50 had been deposited as
dues or collections since Oct. "a
1861, when the chapter began to
use the bookkeeping service of the
University, Mrs. Taylor said, but
added that $7,820.39 had been de-
posted as donations, the source of
which is not reflected in the book
keeping. She pointed out that the
donations were apparently deposited
by officers of the club and did not
have to be identified further.
Mrs. Taylor, who is president of
the Missoula County Democratic
Women's Club and regional director
of the state women's club, as well
as member of the county and state
Democratic Central Committees, said
that she had asked permission to
examine the organizations books fol-
lowing a newspaper statement by
YAF officials that their books were
open to inspection by the public.
This declaration came in the wake
of recent charge by the State Young
Democrats that the YAF group was
using the University to collect funds.
The September newsletter of the
YAF had claimed that checks made
out to MSU and earmarked for their
group would be tax deductible. This
claim was later retracted, but the
furry of charges and counter-charges
brought to light the fact that the
University, as part of it's service to
student organizations, was handling
the YAF's bookkeeping for the Gus
tomary fee. In fact, resume of YAF
at least those reflected in
the University account, has been
available in the Financial Report of
the Auditors of Student and Auxiliary
Organizations, distributed annually to
the organizations and to faculty adj
visors.

Our government used to do mos

with it's own staffs. Results were
amazing, as in agriculture, and were
Gin the public domain, or free to
all the people.
But since World War III it has
hired most such work done, and has
become the veritable Big Daddy of
research and development. This year
it will finance some SIS billion worth,
or three-fourths of all such work by
anybody.
Most of this money goes to the
larger corporations, with big research
staffs of their own.
The government itself gets, free
of royalty, any invention resulting
from such contracts for it's own use.
But the corporations that do the work
invariably want to patent the results
themselves, insofar as any other pub
lie use is concerned.
Should the commercial benefits also
stay in the public domain, thus al
lowing anyone to make the thing,
and presumably allowing it to go at
competitive prices to the public that
has paid for all this?
Or is it wiser to allow the employee
company to patent the development
for itself, and thus enjoy monopoly
for the 17-year life of the patent?
The governments employee corpor-
atoms often say they won't play
unless they can enjoy such a monop-
oily; so that the public might have
to go without useful new products
if they are not allowed to monopolize
it.

ally forfeits all right to an invention
he perfects for it in its workshops
Inventions are held to be personal
but the patent lists show scores of
patents weekly taken out by indi-
viduals, and assigned to" their en-
ploying corporations.
Further, corporations fight fero-
cious lawsuits to keep research people
from leaving them for rival COM
pany. This is new, and creeping,
sort of serfdom not yet fully realized.
People who say companies should
keep title to inventions they make
for the government say that otherwise
they won't have any incentive to bid
for contracts. Further, they say COM
panies are not likely to put their best
people and best efforts, on research
from which they merely make oper-
ating expenses and cost-plus profit.
The opposing viewpoint is that
federal ownership of patents financed
with taxpayers money, is the only
defensible policy.
Actual practice is chaotic. The De-
tense Department has for many years
operated under law that allows it to
give away patent rights. NASA is
under a general directive to keep
them.
Congressional committees have
been holding hearings for years,
but apparently Congress is content
to pass this hot poker to the White
House rather than trying to enact
general law.
The Presidents directive says that
no one formula will fit all cases
whether of single ownership by the
contractor, or by the government.
But it does say the government should
own the invention where the gov
eminent has previously put in lot
of effort, or where the invention is
of something that will surely go into
wide public use.
But it says that the contractor
might be allowed to keep patent
rights where there is greater Ekeli-
hood that this will induce him to put
the thing sooner into public use.

VIEW or AMERICAN OPINION,

When a public board denies these

its clientele it in effect sets itself
up as an arbiter of what the public
should or should not read, insofar
as a public library is concerned.
1t is an expression of lack of faith
in the intelligence of the people
of the Sidney area to read, ques-

WASHINGTON - Foreign

issues. Again they have emerg-

up a tax measure which may
go before the House for its
action before Labor Day. If
the House does act affirma-
