Today’s Business Mirror By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK = (#—With spring breathing down their necks, a sizable handful of businessmen are whistling a merrier tune to- day, after a long dismal winter. These formerly depressed and now hopeful business leaders may be whistling in the dark, but it’s a ¢heerful sound, anyway. Sighting better days ahead—in their annual reports or at annual meetings—are executives in such widely spaced industries.as tex- tiles, carpets, meat packing, re- tail trade and other industries where the Dba of easing the usual busi down: Industrial i elled off for several . trade trailing last year, new or- ders lagging in m stries, corporate earnings falling under the burden of higher” Here are a few who are: ‘speak- ing w hopeful as ne, spring season itself: Signs of improvems ta pearing in the textile Henry M.

Improvement For Vessels Of USA Grants Gov't Royalty-Free Licenses Raymond P. Mansfield, Boats- wain Mate, second class, U. S. Navy, is a man of vision who }saw the need for an improve- | ment in a specific marine device, and on his own initiative, went ahead and devised the improve- | ment, and by so doing, has made an important contribution to the navy in general and to submarine F | rescue vessels in particular. Mansfield, who has_ been at- | vessel, USS Petrel, since July, | 1949, had observed that the | standard pelican hook used in! |mooring a submarine rescue | vessel above a sunken submarine | was not as good as he thought it | should be. Using the standard/ {pelican hook as the basis of the invention, Mansfield made draw- ings during his own‘ spare time! and submitted the idea for a! test. The invention which is a combination pelican and moor-} ing hook was tested exclusively by the U. S. Navy for two years, is undertaking the preparation and prosecution of a patent ap- plication for this new invention. The youthful inventor has agreed | to grant a royalty-free, non-ex- clusive license to the U. S. Gov- ernment, but has requested as- signment of all foreign rights. Mansfield, who is also a Diver, first class, entered the Navy in January, 1941. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Mansfieid of 21 Common avenue, Lowell, Massachusetts.

The moneys and mice apparently got through it all right, he said. (In possible space ships of the future, however, the weightless condition would be of lengthy du- ration.)
