Allen’ on active duty.) WASHINGTON—One of the most| important Congressional investiga- | tions since Pearl Harbor will start this week when Senator Kilgore's| War Mobilization Committee opens hearings on the question of giving the public a chance to use war pat- ents after the war. Approximately $1,000,000000 has been expended by American tax- payers for the research and de- velopment of war implements. After the last war a lot of these discov- eries were turned over to monopolies of private industry. The Radio| Corporation of America, for in-| stance, got the Navy's radio pat-| ents. | So now Senator Kilgore's com-| mittee wants to find out whether| such a vital discovery as radar will be turned over to the public as a whole or bottled up by®one or two big companies. The Kilgore Com- mittee intends to introduce legisla- tion to protect the public. One thing which already worries the Senators is the “good will” ad- vertising boasts of several big con- cerns about all the new living com- forts that will be available after the war—due to wartime research. What the ads fail to peint out is that the government .is footing the major part of the research bill. West Virginia's two-fisted Sen- ator Harley M. Kilgore, Chairman of the War Mobilization Commit- tee, is going to do a little advertis- ing of his own on this point. His Committee will delve chiefly into these fields: (1) WAR. CONTRACTS. Kilgore is anxious t0 know if new produc- tion formulas and techniques, de- veloped by big war contractors at government expense, will be avail- able to smaller competing concerns after the war, (2) COLLEGE STUDIES. War/| research in college laboratories is| confined largely to a few big ln-‘; stitutions, headed by Massachusetts | Institute of Technology. The Kil-| gore Committee wants to make the, scientific findings of M.IT. and other federally-assisted colleges available to smaller schools; also wants to prevent industry from lur- ing topflight instructors from the campuses. (3) FOREIGN PATENTS. Many people fear that Axis patents seized by the Alien Property Custodian| will either be returned to Axis own- | ers after the war or will be sold to a small group of American indus- tralists, as happened after the last war. Senator Kilgore wants to de-| termine what procedure, if any, is| being developed to insure that for- eign patents will be licensed to small as well as big American manufac- turers. in a further flanking| ¥ West SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11.—West Coast dimout restrictions were ra- dically relaxed Saturday midnight Draw Wavler l[gm_S Because the city’s water supply system was so thoroughly destroyed by Nazis before abandoning the city, Naples residents were reduced to dredging sewers to obtain water as this wounded woman is doing.

The communique today said the daring attack was carried out on main units of the German hattle fleet at their protected anchorages, in Alten Fjord in northern Nor- way, “involving hazards of the first order.” The announcement said ‘“‘uhder- water damage” was inflicted on the Tirpitz and added that the attack was made September 22. The fol- lowing day a German communique announced that an attack by sub- marines was repulsed and prisoners were taken. The British statement today said, “Insufficient evidence is available as to the result of the attack as op- erations are still proceeding. The crews of the midget submarines who tock part in the attack are being interrogated. “A photographic reconnaissance oW leayes no_doubt that, the.a.- tack met with success, despite en- emy claims to the contrary. Air photographs after the attack show the Tirpitz, which had not moved | her anchorage, surrounded with ithick oil in the fjord where she |lay, and this slick extended over a distance of more than two miles from her berth.” | The communique said that three midget subs did not’ return from 1 | it Army medical men delivered this baby to an Halian mother during the Allied invasion, and here Nurse Bertha Mann of Philadelphia feeds it with an eye-dropper in its crib, built from a K-ration box.
