Justices Black and Heed holding that when the company sold radio tubes, the buyer could use them In any manner he chose. To give the patent owner the right to restrict use of his pat ents, the two Justices argued, would be to broaden the patent privilege out of all reason. Patent monopolies have been favorite subject for congressional in quiries or threat of Inquiries for years and now comes along a cose right down the alley of the antl monopolies, with the department of Justice backing up a demand for t restriction of patent monopoly rights e Anti-Monopoly "Bin how" All In all, this pillared city of public drama la simply outdoing it self with a three ring antl monopoly circus. First and foremost Is the mo nopoly Investigation conducted Joint ly by congress and several depart ments, Including the department of Justice After a few chosen economists, in cluding Leon Henderson and Isadora Lubln from new deal ranks, have out lined the theme song, the big Inquiry expects to find out as a first effort what effect automobile patents have had In encouraging or discouraging monopoly In that Industry. Com mittee advisors expect the Industry to come through the examination with something near an "A" grade. But there are two other Investiga tions In operation. One Is the dull and dragging Inquiry by the federal communications commission to de termine whether the big radio chains have a monopoly on bioadcastlng. e e Clinwe to Reform. Another Is the anti-trust ihake down drive conducted by the depart ment of Justice under Thurman Ar nold, assistant attorney general. Al ready he has turned the lights on au tomobile financing and on an alleged mak monopoly In the Chicago dis trict. His Is a special type of investiga tion under the 40 year-old anti trust laws brightened by a new wrinkle. Investigators work secretly INC. m is., i. on a suspected company until sud denly Indictments are brought out alleging violation of the antl-trust laws. The accused company then can face Joint criminal and civil prosecu tion or come forward with written promises not only to stop the sus pected - bad practices but promises even further reforms in the Interest of the public good. When such promises are satisfactory to the de partment and the federal courts, the indictments are washed out. All In all It 'promises to be a very exciting winter for big business. I IRON FOR JAPAN SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31, (AP) Potential war material bound for Japan went aboard the Greek freighter Spyros and the British ship Becken ham today, under an agreement whereby Chinese withdrew their picket lines in favor of a national campaign for a Japanese embargo. Two thousand tons of Iron will be added to the cargo of nearly 7000 tons which had been loaded on the Spyros prior to the tieup last Fri day when longshoremen declined to go through Chinese pickets. About 600 tons of Iron rails will be placed aboard the Beckenham. Possibility of a port shutdown and consequent spread to other Pacific coast cities faded yesterday when Chinese leaders ordered withdrawal of pickets, thanked longshoremen for their cooperation and led a mass demonstration in San Francisco's Chlna'own. 4 First Junior Citizen.

I0 FARM PROJECT FOR IDLE BOYS Experiment On Tract of 400 Acres Nets $6000 Gain 70 Youths Aided Receive Daily Wages Br Bobcrt La Blonde United Press Staff Correspondent DEARBORN. Mich (UP) Henry Ford la more convinced than ever that the soil will pay dividends. Seventy youths he etarted thla year on a back-to-the-xarm movement came through the experiment so fi. nanclally successful Ford plans to expand the Idea next year. Throughout the lean years since 1929, the automobile magnate had Insisted that the key to returning prosperity waa In the soil. He led the way to the use of farm products In heavy Industry by making door handles, steering wheels and paint from the soy bean. Last spring he conceived an Idea that would help Joblese .youths from needy families keep themselves busy and possibly earn some money In agriculture. He turned over a 400 acre tract near his old homestead to 70 boys, provided them with farm machinery, army tents and a mess hall. The boys called It Camp Legion because many of them were from veterans' families whose wage earners were disabled or dead. ' Net Profit (4,000 After a bountiful harvest thla fall. the camp showed a profit of (0.000 from Its agricultural producta after costs of the camp and a dally wages to tne boys had Been deducted. Only It of the original camp enrollees failed to work out the full six months In the fields. Elght of them were forced to quit to move away from the city with their parents. When the profits were divided, each of the full-time enrollees received sharea of. 96.97 each. Those forced to quit before the camp broke up received lesser amounts. Ford visited the camp frequently and followed the progress made by the youths closely. He was so pleased with the net results he told Al Brown. camp director, that more camps of tne same type would be started next year. Youths Novice Farmers Tne youths In Camp Legion were given a free reign when they started the project. Brown remained only In an advisory capacity. Although most of the boya were atrlctly "duffer" farmers, thev annotated their own bosses from among their number. At the end of the harvest thev had produced 8.000 bushels of field corn, S.300 ears of sweet corn. 3.000 nonnd. of soy beans. 1,100 bushels of toma toes. 1.180 bushels of potatoes. S00 pumpkins, o.ooo pounds of souanh and a wide variety of garden veget ablea which were sold at a roadside uinraei. After the payoff, when most of the camp members were prepared to go out and seek Jobs, Ford called them Bwer ana gave them Jobs for the winter In his automobile m.. Those under is were placed In the Ford trade school. JACKSON COUNTY FIFTH D. OF 0. ENROLLMENT Eugene, Ore.. Dec. 31 rupi Dr. Earl M.
