LAW
WASHINGTON, April 7 W)
Legislation to curb "excessive"
profits realized by commission
sales agents for procuring gov
ernment war contracts was ap
proved by the house naval com
mittee today by a 16 to 0 roll
call vote.
The action came after a scries
of public hearings during which
several of the agents acknow
ledged profits running up to mil
lions of dollars on fees ranging
in some cases as high as 10 to
20 per cent
The measure would define
sales agents handling war con
tracts in excess of $25,000 as
subcontractors and, as such, sub
ject them and their earnings to
government scrutiny and re
negotiation through an existing
statute. ,
Although he voted for the
measure, Rep. Lynden Johnson
(D-Tex.), expressed belief it did
not go far enough and that the
committee should take some ac
tion to curb the salaries of manu
facturers as well as cracking
down on "the little fellows."
Chairman Vincent (D-Ga.)
said, however, this measure in
particular is aimed at the "five
per cent boys," who have been
obtaining "unconscionable" pro
fits. Courthouse Records

WASHINGTON, April 7 (VP)
The Justice department an

supplemental judgment in an
anti-trust suit under which Stan
dard Oil Company of New Jersey
will make available to all per
sons at "a reasonable royalty
rate" licenses for certain patents
used in producing high octane
aviation gasoline by a low-cost
process- which, it has been claim
ed, will revolutionize the auto
mobile industry.
The supplemental action was

Vegesack Raid Described
As Heavy Blow to Germans
LONDON, April 7 VP) United
States heavy bombers struck
what may well have been the
heaviest single blow of the war
against the U-boats when they
damaged severely seven of the
15 submarines in construction
slips at Vegesack on March 18,
an RAF commentator said today.
One of these, which was hit
very heavily and capsized in
her berth, was ready for almost
an Immediate launching, said'
this source whose name could
not be given.
Two of the submarines were
so far advanced that they could
have been launched probably by
mid-May, he said. He added that
two others would have been fin

remaining two were in the em

Today's action, the department
said, "is designed to clarify ap

SALEM, April 7 (TV- The
state department prepared forms
today for married couples which
want to come under the commun
ity property law, passed by the
recent legislature and which will
become effective June 9.
The forms are modeled after
those of Oklahoma. The law,
by permitting married couples to
file individual returns, will save
Oregon's more wealthy Income

year.
The forms can be filed any
time after June 9 by payment of
a $25 fee to the secretary of
state, who then will send copies
to the clerk of the county court
in which the applicants live.
There will be some advantage
in the community property sys

of death, the surviving spouse
would inherit the whole estate.
