One thing which already worries the Senators Is the "good will" advertising boasts of several big concerns about all the new living thrt will be available after the war--due to wartime research. What the ads fail to point out is that the government is footing the major part of the research bill. West Virginia's two-fisted Senator Harley M. Kilgore, chairman of the War Mobilization Committee, is going- to do a little advertising of his own on this point. His committee will delve chiefly into these fields: (1) War Contracts.

One of the chief arguments major wat contractors, as well as the WPB, War and Navy Departments, have raised against awarding contracts i to small plants is that they aren't "technically organized" to handle government jobs efficiently and speedily. The Kilgore committee wants to lay the ground-work lor a government i a service, which will make available to little business i a i about patents and techniques. Note: Another thing Senator KilRore may probe is the payment of royalties by the government on patents developed with taxpayers' money. For instance, the government is supposed to have free access to the patent pool of the Radio Corporation of America, but some war contractors who deal in the R. C.
