Peace Symbol To Be Trademark
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The peace symbol may soon become the commercial trademark of a company or a Florida state agency. The U.S. Patent Office issued a trademark for the U.S. Patent Office.
If so, hippie sandal-makers and anti-slavery activists could run afoul
using the symbol on a tag, inside a sandal or in some other way.
[The image is not clearly visible. It might be a placeholder or error. Please provide more details.]
Even if trademarked, however, the symbol could still be splashed on a sweatshirt, necktie or bumper sticker.
C. M. Wendt, director of the Patent Office's trademark
examining office, told TUP that she drew a distinction between a
national patent and a U.S. patent.
Wendt said trademark examiners thought hard about whether the symbol should be barred from commercial trademark use. For example, he said, the Patent Officer rejected a wine company's application to trademark the madonna.
But he said the peace symbol—an inverted Y in a circle, with the bar of the Y extending through—was different.
If this were the accepted symbol for the Quakers, or any other sect which is absolutely pacificist, we would not register it. *W* would be
But it's a far cry from that to use by the bighip movement, those who flaunt all the conventions of organized society."
Besides, he said, "its commercial use will not hurt the peace movement in any way."
Joan Cochme, 24, a George Washington University law student who clerks for a trademark law firm, found the applications in the Sept. 8 issue of the Official Gazette of the U.S. Patent Office. He said he and other law students may oppose the move.
Nixon's Peace Plan Seen As Attractive
By STEWART HENSLEY
UPI diplomatic Reporter
WASHINGTON President Nikon's five-point peace plan offers the Communists an attractive opportunity to begin negotiating an Indochina peace agreement. The military situation is as bad a
White House officials say it is.
The big question is whether or not Hanoi is in such straits that it may accept a package proposal, which American suggestions which previously have been spurned when they were put forward one
Although Nixon offered a cease-fire "without preconditioned" throughout all of Integra's operations, the previous U.S. proposals for individual cease-fires, tied to mutual and simultaneous withdrawal of all Communist forces have been curried turned down.
The President's proposal for a broadly based Indochina peace conference, composed of representatives from the country having an interest in the conflict there, also has been rejected in the past by Hanoi. In addition, the Russians and Communist China have shown contempt for the idea.
The American proposals for "immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners of war held by both sides" was advanced first time in a formal peace presentation presented by the United States.
But previously the United States has attacked the problem of getting its men held by Hani and the Viet Cong released by his group, an individual issue of discussion at the Paris peace talks.

Nixon's proposal simply calls for the immediate and un-fulfilled release of all prisoners from the cease-fire goes into effect.
Goal to Abolish Job
Instructor Runs for Office
By ALAN SIMONS
Kansan Staff Writer
John R. Nesbitt, 30-year assistant instructor of political science at Kansas is running for a public office to want to publicize the fact. He was elected to the office that he wants and endorsed by another professor who held the same office for two years and thinks the job is better.
To the majority of us, revealing the toils of running for the justice of the people, a PWD would not explain this paradoxes. But the number of those in the court is too small to permit similar situations concerning the office of justice of the peace has yet to be determined.
Nebiss has run what he calls a non-campaign campaign. "He will pay the man's airfare and or spend any money for the office other than the man," she said.
His goals have been to abolish the department. P and to help get rid of 'ballet' in the office, thinks the office represents. He said that it probably be because of the new position for abolition of the "do-nothing" office, if he were the office manager.
If he is elected—and he is unopposed-Nesbitt would have the power to perform marriages and other legal proceedings the damages do not exceed $1.
"The idea," he said, "is to get real legal power out of the hands of laymen and into the hands of a member of the bar."
There are 21 public offices on the November general election day, and he has to make a choice. He must be at the bottom of that ballot list.
"Because there are so many choices to be made," he said, "the team needs a centration becomes more dissatisfied as he goes down the ballot. They tend to skip office if there is a cluttered ballot."
The first office listed on the ballot traditionally has had more votes than the offices below it This "voter drop-off" was
exemplified two years ago, when 35,000 more Kansans voted for president than for governor.

the problems that Nesbit and others who have tried to counter them have countered has been that it would take a constitutions amendment
An additional problem has been raised by the number of amendments which can be submitted to the voters in any one general election to three or more members. November general election, when a proposal will be presented to the party leader,
"With only three chances each election," Nessbitt says, "I'm sure it wasn't one of the legislature wanted to submit."
The other KU professors who believe that the office of JP has been abused by Mertes, professor of medicinal chemistry, Mertes, who was JP in Lawrence from 1968 to 1968, jobs the job "absurd" and "ridiculous".
Sadat Gets Nomination For Egypt's Presidency
"I'm glad to see someone take on this issue the way Nesbitt
The assembly action came as a formal government official's statement in States for the failure of the Big Four talks on the Middle East to address Iran. The spokesman was commenting on the announcement Tuesday that the United States was pulling out of discussions being held in New York.
Morties in 1966 was the target on a write-in campaign started by a medical medicinal chemistry. A grand total of eight votes was tallied for Morties, and seven were for one else had run for the office. Morties was drafted to serve as the president.
has," he said. "I support him wholeheartedly."
"I was out of town with the Air Force Reserve at the time of the death of my girlfriend, sentence ballot. But when I looked for my name, I discovered it
Another strange twist in this story of paradoxes is the fact that Nessbitt could not vote for himself in the primary election.
The spokesman said the Big Four were unable to "achieve any progress because of the stand taken by the United States, which has opposed 'most' of the members but put forward by other members."
To save printing costs, the absentee ballot did not include the local offices.
The nomination must now be approved by about 8 million eligible voters in a nationwide enrollment schedule for Oct. 15.
CAIRO (UP1) - The National Assembly, meeting in an extraordinary session Wednesday night, nominated Anwar Sadat, S. to succeed the late Gamal Abdullah Osman of Egypt for the next six years.
Nebatis is not a newcomer to area politics but has been commissioned by the commission his preinct, and he has taken over public relations work for the city.
the assembly was required for Sadat's nomination but Shukair said he won the vote of all 353 deputies who were present.
Only a two-thirds majority of
Assembly Speaker Labib Nishan nomination of Sadat, a longtime associate of Nasser and acting president since Nasser's death on 14 March.
"this announcement is only a new proof of the U.S. attitude toward the Middle East crisis," the Cairo spokesman said.
But, Neubitt says, his primary responsibility is the choice of the ballot of unnecessary candidates. He says, he are the offices of state printer, auditor, treasurer and attorney.
British officials were critical of the U.S. move, which they indicated came as a surprise in London. They said Britain配合北美Big efforts toward a Middle East settlement.
"I told somebody," he says, "if I was elected President, I would consider running for state printer in 1972. That was more than half that time."
Israeli officials, and newspapers applauded the U.S. action which they said indicated that Israel had been sending Administration toward Cairo and Moscow. They said Washington apparently is skeptical, in view of Egyptian-Soviet violations of the truce; their sincerity in efforts in front of Iran has been questioned.
