(Knackstedt photo) Titanium Scrap for Use in Inqot Production Given Patent WashingtoiMScience Serv-ice)-A method of recovering scrap titanium and using it to make electrodes for titani um ingot production has won a U.S. patent for two Ohioans Titanium is a heat-resistant metal used in "skins," lead irtg edges and engine parts of upersomc aircraft. But titan ium's characteristics and in got production methods do not permit use of scrap pieces in the same way that other metal scrap is recovered. William Howell of Warren, Ohio, and Richard M. Scriver of North Jackson, Ohio, have invented a method of produc ing titanium ingots by using titanium scraps of any size, ehape or characteristic to form consumable titanium electrodes. The electrodes are formed by packing the scrap into elongated containers of titanium sheet material, held in place by radially disposed wedges driven through the sides of the container and into the mass of scrap. . The inventors received pat ent No. 2,867,895, one of 1,319 patents granted by the U. S. patent office here last week. They assigned their patent to Mallory-Sharon Metals Corp. Jt Can Tak Off Vertically A jet - propelled airplane capable of vertical take-off has earned a patent for Her bert Eugene Chaplin of Hayes, England. His plana has an undercar riage mechanism that will sup port it in either a horizontal or vertical position. The mechanism, which is com prised mainly of skids, is power-driven so that it may be adjusted from one position to the other while supporting the craft The plane also features a pilot's seat adjustable through a 90-degree angle, so that the pilot may sit upright regard less of the position of the plane. Another feature is a propulsive unit capable of giving a static thrust exceed ing the weight of the aircraft, so that it may climb rapidly. Chaplin was granted patent No. 2,868,477, which he as signed to The Fairey Aviation Company Limited, also of Hayes. Electrodes to Germanium A new method of soldering electrodes to semi-conducting crystal elements, such as ger manium, said to offer great improvement In forward con ductivity, has won another patent. It involves soldering in an inert atmosphere without the use of a flux or intermediate metal layer. In previous methods using fluxes or intermediate layers it was necessary to remove impurities introduced by the flux or correct the electrical characteristics of the crystal often altered by the metal layer. In the new method,' solder is melted in an inert atmos phere to prevent oxidation of the solder. The semi-condue tor is floated on the molten solder and then removed, with a thin layer of solder adher ing to it. Next, the electrode is mounted on this thin layer, which is melted to bond the electrode to it. Aliens Reminded to Report Addresses '. Portland-The U. S. immi gration and naturalization service has again reminded all aliens in the state of Ore gon that only six days remain in which non-citizens may file their annual address report, as required by law. James L. Turner, district director, pointed out that ad dress report forms are avail able at the nearest immigra tion service office or post of fice for the convenience of non-citizens required' to report their address to the govern ment each January under a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 MEMORY GARDENS MEMORIAL SERVICE PLAN Protects YOUR FAMIIY: No need, now, to leave the burden of funeral bills on the shoulders of your loved ones.

For this process, Bernard Jacobs of Clifton, N. J., was granted patent No. 2,867,899. He assigned it to Internation al Telephone and Telegraph Corp. Compacts Fine Powders Three men from Michigan have invented an apparatus for compacting into pellets finely divided solids, such as the various forms of synthetic silicas and carbon black used in industry as flatting agents in paints. The device produces dust free pellets by two basic steps, a compassion step and a tumbling step. The former in volves a deaeration of the material followed by compac tion to a density of at least four pounds per cubic foot. The latter step involves tum bling the compressed solid until substantially dust-free pellets are formed. The invention, which re ceived patent No. 2,867,843, was assigned to Dow Corning Corp., Midland, Mich., by Har old L. Browne and Owen C. Cookingham of Midland, and Donn W. Pendleton of Beav- erton, Mich. Includes Snow Scraper An all-weather combination brush and snow remover has earned a patent for Emanuel Gantz of Harrison, N. Y. The implement has a base containing both stiff brush bristles and a curved metal scraper. These are placed in such a way that each may be used separately depending on which side of the base is turned downward. The com bination is designed so that both the brush and scraper force the brushed or scraped material forward and away from the bristles. The invention received pat ent No. 2,867,827 which was assigned to Empire Brushes, Inc., Port Chester, N. Y. Hospitals Marshall Defenses To Contend With Infections New YorK-Within the past two years hospital staffs have been marshalling their de fenses to contend with a sharp rise in infections. They mani fest themselves in a variety of ills, ranging from abscesses and rashes to fatal blood poi soning, according to Stuart Mudd, president of the Inter national Association of Micro biological Sacieties. The prin cipal offender is a ubiquitous parasite called "staphylocco cus" which has acquired re sistance to the so-called "won der" drugs, Dr. Mudd report ed in an article in Scientific American. "These microbs, which are distinguished by their com municability and virulence," EVICTION Hartford, Conn. -(LTD- After two years of helping settle disputes between landlords and tenants, Sebastian Polo had to take time off from his job as chairman of a fair rent committee. His own rented duplex was converted into a rooming house and he was evicted. Dr. Mudd said, "the the prod uct of selection of antibiotics. By bad luck the strains which have developed resistance to the antibiotics and related drugs happen to carry the most harmful traits of their genus. The foci of prevalence are the hospitals, where anti biotics have been employed extensively in recent years not only for treatment of di agnosed infection but also as a general prevention - often with neglect of the standard routines of asepsis and anti sepsis. The consequent inva sion of these virulent organ isms has thus caught physi cians ill prepared with alter natives to antibiotics. The emergence of the miracle drugs, the sulfonamides in the 1930s and the antibiotics in the 1940s, discouraged inter est in and support, for the classical lines of bacteriolog ical research just as they were reaching fruition with respect to staphylococcus infection. Common Hazard The article added: "Of course infection was the common hazard of hospi tal confinement throughout the centuries before the intro duction of antiseptics and dis infectants in the last decades of the 19th century. The staphylococcus, together with the pneumoccocci and strep tococci, took the principal toll. Intense study finally succeed ed in producing a body of knowledge from which tech niques were developed for coping with pneumococci and streptococci. U n f ortunately, comparable study of the less harmful staphylococcal infec tions lagged, particularly after the successful introduction of chemotherapeutic agents. "What can be done by the DOESN'T CIVE A HOOT Gettysburg, S.D. -(LTD- Ron nie and Charlotte Meservey have a pet horned owl which chatters back and forth with their parakeet but refuses to talk to people. The children found the horned owl north of this prairie country commun ity, while it was a baby with fuzz instead of feather. It isn't old enough to hoot yet. Ron nie and Charlotte say it hisses. intelligent public to help in this situation? The hospitals are hard-pressed on many fronts. Diagnosis and treat ment have been undergoing great and rapid elaboration, at a large increase in cost. Nurses, and in many hospi tals, interns and residents are in short supply. In conse quence of all this most hos pitals now operate in the red. The return to meticulous asep sis and antisepsis-which with the many precautions essen tial to good housekeeping ap pears at present to offer the most immediate hope for blunting the invasion-is cost lv in time, effort and money. More adequate financial sup port by the public for its hos pitals could be very helpful indeed. Fund for Research "Congress has appropriated SI billion for staohylococcal research through National In stitutes of Health research grants, and with the appro priation of $325,000 for the current fiscal year the Public Health Service is expanding its services and investigations relating to staphylococcal dis ease at the Communicable Disease Center in Georgia. Our present ignorance in this significant area of medicine cannot, however, be dissipated in a few years by the work of a few investigators. Nor can we at this time predict the outcome of the extraord inary struggle for survival of aversatile microorganism against the efforts of an aroused medical profession. But sustained effort on a broad front will reap rewards measured in terms of deepen ing scientific insight and of increased security oi nealttt for everyone."
