Small Business Still Has A Future
With the failure of small lumber
operations, nmall stores and other
small businesses in the face of fierce
competition from bigger companies,
the thought is often expressed in
, Douglas County that the economy
; will soon be one made up completely
of giants.
The continuing series of success
stories being unveiled in the Payroll
Development committee's "Industry
of the Month" is a strong indication
small business is far from dead.
This idea of a growing future is
also shared by Dr. Carl H. Madden,
' new director of economic research
' for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
in Washington.
He sees big opportunities and big
changes for American small business
in the next quarter century.
The fashionable conclusion of most
experts is that small business is
doomed as unable to survive compe
tition with the bigs. So it is reassur
ing to find one economist who thinks
small business has a bright future for
the long haul.
Madden is a six-foot-four "e g g
head" with three degrees from the
University of Virginia. He has taught
economics at Rutgers, NYU, Cor
nell and Lehigh.
He comes to the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce most of whose mem
bers are small and medium-s i z e d
businessmen with broad experience
as a business consultant and in gov
ernment. For six years he was with Feder
al Reserve in New York. In 1962 he
was consultant to the Treasury in
Washington. Last year he was staff
economist for the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee. Here he got his
special feel for small business, work
ing with Senators John Sparkman, D-
Ala., and William Proxmire, D-Wis.
The latter is writing a book on small
business which will be published
early in 1964.
Madden doesn't make precise pre
dictions on the outlook for small busi
ness, even in the near 1970s, be
cause, he says, the dominant factor
is going to be change. It is the small
business which can accommodate to
change that will stay in business and
succeed.
One significant development he
points to is the establishment of in
dustrial parks in which there is a
complex of small businesses. Each
may begin with a doctor of philoso
phy and a master of business admin
istration. They grow from there, with
brains as their principal asset.
Boston has such a center. There
are others around the space centers
at Cape Kennedy and Houston. Men
lo Park, Calif., is world-famous. And
the North Carolina University Tri
angle, with its three great schools,
has a brilliant future.
More small businessmen should be
college educated, Madden believes. A
total of 275 business schools grant de
grees and 10 offer graduate courses.
They have never concentrated on
the problems of small business, but
they are now beginning services to
keep in touch with their alumni and
help them with their problems in ad
justing to change.
The fertility of American private
small business is one of its greatest
elements of strength, Madden be
lieves. There were more than 4.75 million
American business establishments in
1962, excluding farms and profession
al offices. Some 430,000 new business
es were created that year, with 387,
000 discontinuances, for a net gain of
43,000.

New Power Tool

J WASHINGTON (UPI)-A new
power tool litis been designed
so an astronaut can do repair
or assembly jobs in space with
out putting himself Into a spin.
The 8-pound, bnttery-driven
tool was developed for the air
force by the Mnrtin Co. and
Black & Decker Manufacturing
Co. of Baltimore. Its designers
believe it is the forerunner of
tools which man may use some
day to assemble whole cities in
space.
Ordinary tools present diffi
Acs under conditions of weight
lessness encountered by space
travelers. If an astronaut work
ing outside his spacecraft
should try to turn a nut with
an ordinary wrench or portable
power tool ho would go into
a snln himself.
' What is needed In spaco is a
tool with "zero reaction." This
hieans u tool In which a reac
live torque the twisting force
has been eliminated. This is
what the two Baltimore com
panics have coma close to do
Inc.
The engineering tricks used to
perfect the tool arc many and
complicated. A duel one, now
ever, was development of an et
ficient motor in which both the
motor and case rotate on ball
bearings within the tool handle.
By a spring loading mechan
ism, this energy is transferred

In San Diego, Calif., a teen

by going without sleep for more
than 260 hours.
Any generation that can pro

be all bad.
I predict a great future for
that boy, particularly if he be

of the accomplishments of my

several yo-yo and flagpole-sit

If Hollywood is on the ball,
some studio will sign him up
for a movie called "I Was a
Toon-Age Insomniac."
In saluting the feat, however,
I must express a fervent hope
that it doesn t start a fad. Teen
agers may not need to sleep,
but parents need teen-agers to
sleep.
Scientists tell us that sleep Is
a kind of Idling of tho body
mechanism. Muscles relax, body
temperature and blood pressure
drop, and tho brain waves calm
down.
This must be true because all
of those things happen to me
when the teen-agers at my
house are asleep
In fact, there is nothing that
refreshes a parent more than a
sleeping teen-ager,
The question of whether the
human body actually needs as
much sleep as most people give
