Endorsement of the Nolan patent bill, providing for the increase of salaries of employes of the Patent Office, as well as enlarging the per sonnel, was voiced today by Edward Q. Curtis, special assistant to the Attorney General, in charge of GoV ernment patent litigation. "OUTRAGE," SAYS CUVTIS. "It is an outrage that Patent Office employes, who must of necessity be highly skillful, trained men, should be obliged to work for the absurdly inadequate pay they now receive. said Curtis. . He stated that he was unable to see how any thinkilg person could onscientlously oppose those sections of the bill which provide for the in crease of the force and of salaries. lie said that it was lamentable that these% conditions had not been remedied before this, and that in his opinion the interests of the public would be immensely served by a prompt and considerable increase In salaries and equipment. .Urtim declared that he had always supported the Nolan bill insofar aS ht could consistently do so In view of him official position with the Depart ment of Justice, but that he was op posed to section 9 of the measure, which provides that the Federal Trade Commission be empowered to accept inventions and patents of Gov ernment employes and to issue licenses. OPPOSES SECTION. "I regard this part of the measure as exceedingly unfortunate and cap able of doing considerable harm." said Curtis. He declared that he had been consistently opposed to that sec tion of the bill, and had, upon re quest of the chairman of the House and Senate conference committees. stated his views at Congressional hearings. He said he understood that a considerable number of industrial interests were now engaged in an effort to defeat the entire bill be cause of section 9. With this effort he said he was unable to agree. since, according to his understanding, the bill now having been reported out of conference, a successful effort to de feat one section of the bill would probably mean the defeat of the en tire measure, including the provisions for the improvement of conditions at the Patent Office. "I am inclined to believe that great public benefits would be brought about by the passage of those sec tions applying to the betterment of conditions in the Patent Office," Cur tis said, 'and these outweigh the possible harm that might result from the passage of section 9." He thought that am between killing the enttv measure because of the undesirable section relating to the Federal Trade Commission, and per mitting the measure to pass. even with that section In it. for the beneft of the Patent Office, he believed the latter procedure was preferable. CAREFUL STUDENT OF NEEDS. Curtis. since assuming the defense of the United States in its extensive and complicated patent litigation, has made a careful study of the Govern ment patent situation and needs. especially with a view to organizing the patent work in the various execu tive branches. As 'special assistant to the Attorney General, he has charge of the interests of the Govern ment and all its departments In all patent suits brought against the United States, either directly against the Government in the Court of Claims, or indirectly through their representatives or constructors in outside courts. He also has the re sponsibility of preparing the official opinions of the Attorney General on questions relating to patents, and watches generally over the interests of the Government on all patent, trade-mark, and copyright matters. Curtis declared that many of the leading patent attorneys of the coun try had expressed themselves to him in regard to the poor pay of Patent Office employee and the lacl5 of per sonnel. He said that Frederick . lamery, of Boston, head of the firm of 'Amery, Booth, Janney & Varney, who also heads a large patent firm in New York and Washington, deceired him self very strongly about tls.a matter when he was in the Capital recently. "The low salaries that these em ployea receive from the Government is absolutely shameful," Emery declared. "and the salaries as well as the Pat ent Office personnel should have been increased long ago." BULLARD SAYS RUSSIAN TRADE ISAT LOWEBB It will take many years for Russian trade to be rehabilitated, Arthur Bul lard, chief foreign trade adviser of the State Department. yesterday tok:1 the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "Duaring the war Germany absorbed the Russian trade," he saId. In 1911 the Russian trade with the United States was but $50,000,000. This dropped to $37,000,000 in 1913. Last year Soviet RussIa purchased about $9,000,000 In this country. The John son-Endieott Shoe Company of the United States now has a contract with S'oviet Russia, purchases to be paid in grold rubles. There is little business being done by the United States with Russia. YOUNGEST MOTHER IN GEORGIA ONLY TWELVE ATLANTA.
