Kick About Tanks
Portland, Ore., July 30 (United
Press) A. F. McSweeney, Portland
inventor is of the opinion that his
Uncle Sam is not giving him a squaTe
deal. Morever, he has told his uncle
about it.
McSweeney complains today that
the government was infringing on his
patent rights in the design of an
armored "tank" such as are now be
ing used in Europe.
The war department contends that
other designs of tanks are far better
than McSweeney's patents, and that,
anyway, tanks are not being used to
any great extent in Europe and the
United States is making comparetive
ly few of them.
