Drew Pearson reports Senate Judiciary Committee action on a bill that would let government contractors retain patent rights to inventions developed with public funds.

The piece critiques Sen. McClellan and Rep. Daddario pushing a bill to grant contractors ownership of government discoveries. It notes Holloman from GE backing the proposal, GE's large research contracts, and criticism of private industry profits versus public benefit.

Buried in a broad column of notes on law enforcement, the piece notes that Burke County Sheriff David W. Oaks was slain, bringing the North Carolina total of officers killed in line of duty to 14 since 1938, with 134 officers lost in the past 28 years. It urges a civic group of business leaders to fund victim families, beyond the meager court costs, and laments the insufficient protection for families. The item weaves in safety notes on jaywalking, seat belts, and a Fortune study on investors, plus brief local items on High Point traffic, real estate boards, and a deceased meter reader.
