Burst Of Inventiveness Buries Patent Office Under Technical Lag WASHINGTON l'PI If U.S.I Pate.-.' Commissioner David L. Ladd ere the melodramatic type you could probably find him look ing through, his office window crving out plaintively: "Technology, technology every wherebut 1101 a drop lor me. The 36 year-old commissioner is presiding over a governmental activity whose problems must present one of the classic ironies of our time. The nation is in the midst of an unprecedented burst of inven tiveness and technological prog ress that is helping everyone and slowly crushing the Patent Office to death under a moun tainous workload. Ladd, who is far from the wail ing tvpe. is making a spirited ef fort to reorganize his oflice. The outcome could determine whether the present system will survive His new approach includes try ing to adapt some of the new technology to speeding up the processing of patents. But so far, this phase of the reorganization has had only limited success Ladd, a former Chicago patent lawyer, stresses that the job of saving the present system won t be easy. "The situation is not desper ate," he said in an interview. "But on the other hand, the Pal ent Office has been chronically behind for a long time. I think the time has come when we will have to make a decision." Law May Be Revised Ladd said that if the present reorganization does not improve the situation by the middle of next vear, "there should be a comprehensive revision of theiing to the point where 3,000 ad- patent law."

Now the stacks of patents are filed under such headings as: "General Chemistrv." "Petrole um Chemistry," and "Coatingl and Laminating. The commissioner also is at tacking the personnel problem by trying to improve working condi tions. Examiners' salaries have been raised. Promotions now are governed by competency instead of seniority. mitted until final action is taken. The backlog at present is running about 17.000. This "information explosion' j as Ladd terms it is one of the products of an age of frantic technological activity, spurred by defense requirements" and an un quenchable thirst for a higher! standard of living. Inventive fashions are changing too. Once the inventor was symbo lized by the chap who puttered around in the garage or the base ment. That no longer is true. Technology now is mass pro duced in sleek new plants where large teams of w hite-coated scien lists work at the job every day of the week. In addition to this big increase in volume of new applications, the Patent Office is harassed by these other problems The growing stack of patents that must be checked when a new application comes in is increas- Ladd's reorganization includes reclassification of the 10 million patents on file into fewer catego ries to s)eed up the examining process. The patents also are be ing filed with more logical em phasis on Iheir subject matter. vavwmMui"iiiuiiiiB in PROTECT YOUR ESTATE Throve h Equitablfi Living Insurance John H.

The rent reasonable and we love it here. The other night when I plugged in the electric 1 1 r o n all the I lights went out I in the back part of the house. I knew I had blown a fuse. So I rapped on the landlord's door and asked him if Jie would help me out. He said I'd have to come down to the basement with him and hold the flashlight while he replaced the fuse. Well, the old geezer made a pass at me. Can you imagine such a tiling with his own wife silting upstairs in their living room! I told him if he ever tried anything funny again I'd brain him. This morning there was a note in our mailbox saying the rent is going up $30 next month. We can't pay more and we hate to move. Please tell us what to do about this rotten situation.

Dear Ann Landers: I'm a sten ographer in a large office building. The other evening I was waiting for the bus in the rain and a nice gentleman whom I had seen doz ens of times in the elevator came by and saw me standing there. He asked me if I lived norlh. When I said "Yes" he of fered to drop me off. He (old me rhis name but I was flustered and didn't get it. I arrived home at the usual time and my mother saw me get out of the man's car. She asked who he was and I had to tell her I didn't know his name. She became furious and said no de cent girl would allow herself to be picked up on a corner no mat ter what the weatlier. She told my dad and he gave me a long winded lecture about sex maniacs and so on. I feel they were off base and I'd like your opinion. NO CHIP PY. Dear No: This man was not a stranger. You knew his face and his place of employment. Nonetheless you should have Rot ten his name. Next time listen when you are spoken to. Girl.

The book jackets are in variably lorn or missing. Am I justified in asking this friend to replace the books she ruins? I've toyed with the idea but have never been able to do il.-CLAMSSA Dear Clarissa: Rook-borrowers have an obligation to return books in the same condition thev were when borrowed.
