Special Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va, January 14— Yesterday Judge Howard W. Smith of the sixteenth judicial circuit of Virginia announced that he would be a candidate for the seat now held by R. Walton Moore. Judge Smith said his decision to run was reached after Representative Moore had “publicly expressed his pur- pose and desire to retire at the conclu- sion of his present term of office.” Party leaders accepted Judge Smith's announcement as meaning Representa- tive Moore will not run “inasmuch, it is pointed out, that Moore in radio addresses and other public utterances has intimated that he would not be a candidate for re-election.” s Judge Smith is regarded as espe- cially strong in this city. He made his home here since leaving his father's farm in Fauquier County and has served in various political capacities, including president of the old common council, commonwealth’s attorney and judge of the Corporation Court, He has a strong following in Fairfax, Arlington and Prince Willlam Counties, where he has presided as judge of the Circuit Court. The judge owns and operates a large dairy farm at Broad Run, Va., in Fauquier County, where he is well known, and his support in the southern end of the district, including Louisa, Orange and Stafford Counties, is re- garded as strong. Judge Smith's brother, State Senator W. Worth Smith, is the representative of these last three counties in the Virginia Assembly. Judge Smith will be a candidate, sub- ject to the Democratic rty primary August 5. The general election will be held November 4, but the Democratic nomination is practically equivalent to election. In his statement announcing his candidacy, Judge Smith said: “After mature consideration I have decides, to become a candidate for Congrets from the elghth district of ., Representative R. Walton Moore having publicly expressed his to retire at the con- present term. I 1 therefore, be a candidate subject to the Democratic primary of August 8. Should be so fartunate as to be the choice of my people for this important office, I can only promise that I will devote to the in! ts of my constituents the same measure of energy and diligence that has characterized my activities as a public servant In various capacities for the past 20 years.” CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

STELLWAGEN P £ N CRITICISM 1S AIMED AT PATENT OFFICE Public Printer Says Method of Handling Specifications “Awkward and Costly.” ' George H. Carter, the public printer, criticizes the Patent Office for what he describes as the “awkward and costly procedure” resulting from “lack of proper preparaiion” of patent specifica- tions “for the usual methods of type- setting and proof reading,” in his an- nual report to Congress, made public ay. ‘These shcrtcomings on the part of the Patent Office, according to Mr. Carter, make the printing of the patent speci- fications “the most difficult task in Gov- ernment printing.” Explaining his complaint against the Patent Office, in his report to Congress, Mr. Carter says: Printer’s Statement. “Only part of the vast number of amendments are inserted at the proper places in the voluminous specifications as submitted to this office for printing. Therefore, the copy editors, linotype operators, proof readers and revisers in the Government Printing Office are re- quired to search through the mass of papers accompanying each patent to find amendments for insertion at their proper places in the text of the speci- fications. “Often several amendments are writ- ten on _the same sheet of paper, which, under Patent Office rules, cannot be cut or marked. S0 it 15 necessary for the editors in the Government Printing Of- fice either to copy the amendments or to Indicate their proper location for both the linotype operator and the proof reader. “If the copy could be cut by the editor or the amendments inserted in their proper place by the Patent Office, the printing of _specifications would be greatly exgedl'ed and done at much less cost than under the present slow and cumbersome method prescribed by the Patent Office. As it is, copy editors, proof readers, and linotype operators, who are paid $1.10 per r by the Government Printing Office, do a large amount of work that could and should be handled by minor clerks in the Pat- ent Office. Procedure Discussed. “This awkward and costly procedurc has been discussed with the Patent Office for several years and some im- provement has recently been made in the preparation of its copy. But in the 47,147 patent specifications edited by the Government Printing Office dur- ing the fiscal year 1920, there were 18,577 separate amendments, making 30,264 miles, which should have been written into the text of the specifica- tions by the Patent Office instead of submitted on separate sheets. “It is really remarkable under such adverse conditions that specifications are printed with so few mistakes as have been reported to this office. Only 16 ‘patents out of the 47.147 printed during the fiscal year 1929 were re- turnt for reprinting on account of typographical errors. Trafic Slowed by Fog.
