the administration of the anti-trust
acts in serious Jeopardy."
It was a split decision. 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.

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.

Bl SEC
HONOLULU, Dec. 21. (AP) The
securities and exchange commission
pressed an investigation today of
reports of unregistered Japanese
emergency bonds totaling one mil
lion yen (about $280,000) were being
offered for sale In this area of
heavy Japanese population.
Roger Kent, SEC attorney of San
Francisco, revealed the Investigation
after two days' intensive work during
which witnesses were subpoenaed
and questioned.
"The SEC received information to
the 'effect one million yen of
registered Japanese emergency bonds
were being publicly offered In the
territory," Kent said In disclosing
his mission here. "When the com
mission receives Information of this
nature It conducts an Investigation
to determine whether the law Is
being, or has been violated. I am
here to make that Investigation."
Hawaii's total population of 306,
715 Includes 161,141 Japanese, of
whom 113,269 are American citizens
and 87,663 are aliens. About 26,000,
although born in American Hawaii,
remain technically subject to the
Mikado as well as citizens of the
United States because their births
were recorded at the Japanese con
sulate.
Kent explained that by uniegis-
tered bonds was meant bonds not
registered with the SEC In Washing
ton, and therefore Illegal for public
offerings In United States.

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.
