STATE CHAMBER OPPOSES NEW U.S. PATENT SCHEME SAIN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.—Federal legislation to mobilize all scientific and technical resources of the nation under federal control will be strongly opposed by the California State Chamber of Commerce, it was announced by A. C. Mattei, chairman of the Statewide ‘Industrial Committee. Views of the state chamber concerning this measure, which Mattei said “would assign to one governmental office the power to shape and make the trend of productive enterprise in the United States,’ are being conveyed to the California delegation in. congress. The proposal, incorporated in Senate Bill 702 by Kilgore and G. R. 2100 by Patman would give enlarged control over patents includistrator would be appointed by the president to serve at his pleasure, as would also a technical board of six whose duties would be assigned by the administrator. Broad appointive powers would be placed in the hands of the administrator, who could fix salaries of all employees and would tbe empowered to exempt them from ‘military service ay from civil service. “This ‘measure,’’ Mattei said, “by attempting to duplicate’ research work which private industry is doing effectively, is another proposal to increase bureaucratic control over private business. The new agency would overlap other governmental departments such as the Department of Commerce and the Department of Agriculture. Millions ‘of dollars annually are being spent by American business and industry for scientific research, and there is no apparent justification for governmental conffol in this field of activity. According to the November 1943 issue of Domestic Commerce, published by: the U. S. Department of Commerce, expenditures for all basic production research in the United States in 1941 totaled $270,000,000 an increase of 25 per cent over the preceding year.” MRS. B. F.
