Aug. 20 If you don I think limes nave chunged, consider Just two angles of the Washington spectacle to day: (1) Big business men, re publican nearly all, aro work Ing for the new deal aclmlnlatra tlon for a dollur a year; (2) The republican party, which used to bo considered tho protector of big buaineaa, ha now taken the causo of llttlo bualnea under it wing Thl latter development come through House Minority Leader Joe Martin' appointment of a committee of 20 republican con gressmen, headod by Charles A Halleck of Rennelaer, Indiana to study the problem of the little fellow squeezed out of business by the defense effort. Worriad Croup Entrance, of tho Halleck com mltlee Into the picture- bringa to a total of fivo the number of government bodies who are now professionally worried about the llttlo fellow. The HallecR com. mlltee Isn't an .official congrcs atonal committee. !t is purely Dolltlcal. It has no appropriation and It activities will consist of receiving complaints from small business- men caught in the priorities draft. The committee men will proosDiy maKe aneeche about them. In the senate two committees have tackled tho problem. The Truman committee, Investigat ing national defenso contracts has touched on the subject in testimony from a few witnesses, and Truman Investigators have dug Into It considerably. Then there Is tho committee hcoded by Senotor James E. Murray of Butte, Mont., appointed specific ally to study problems of small business enterprises. It started work even before the defense effort got hot, but so far hasn't come up with anything very helpful. - Sprssda the Work Over in OPM la tho defense contract service under Robert L. Mchornay which has tho real Job of trying to promoto sub contracting, bringing tho little manufacturer Into tho defense program, spreading the work to "bits and pieces production. lis recent Job of Inviting manufac turers In the Detroit area to como In and see a torn down model of aircraft and tank en gines, to seo what parts they could make, is an cxampU of tho constructive work In aiding the change-over from normal to defenso production. Paralleling this work Is the effort of Sidney Hlllman's labor division in OPM to keep up c ploymcnt during the transition period and maintain a steady supply of labor (or tho expand ing defense efforts. Both of these aro positive steps to benefit the small business man, particularly tho manufacturer, but they don't cover the problems of tho little fellow who can't get a plcco of tho defenso pic. Broader In its scope, and like wise positive in its intention of actually doing something to help the small, or Independent busi ness man caught In tho defense rush, will be the work of the new "small business unit" now being set up in Assistant Attor ney General Thurman Arnold's anti-trust division. Arnold has Just picked his man to head this unit In Guy Holcomb of Atlanta, Ga. It will bo early September be fore Holcomb will bo set to start functioning, but In tho mean time, ho is willing to receive letters from small business men who feel that they are being left out of the defense picture, or are actually being discriminated against. . When organized, this unit will have a staff to follow up on these complalnla and an economic, staff to analyze them. Address: Small Business Unit, Anti-Trust Division, Department of Justice, Washington, D, C. To Help Builnaia Holcomb himself Is not a lawyer, which makes him one of BUSINESS r'U rn i',, r r r i l 2ej L J &X IMI tT HU MtYKt. IWt. t. M. II AmItS) for Small the few non-legal lights in the D. J. setup. Ho has been a small business man, with experience in banking, bond selling, corporate insurance and retail selling. He helped organize a gasoline filling station retailers' organization in Georgia, fought the battles of the independents against the big re fining and distributing com' panics. He caught Arnold's at tention in that and so was picked to head up this new unit. Numerous complaints have been received from small bust' ness men by the Justice depart ment. A lot of them are crack pot letters but about one in four will have something in It that bears further Investigation. If the new Arnold-Holcomb unit can serve as a real friend of the small business man in Washington, where the big fel lows with the lobbyists and special representatives have an obvious advantage, useful work can be done. Sprague Notified National Guard Will Stay in Service SALEM, Aug. 29 OP) The war department officially noti fied Gov. Charles A.

KEARNEY, Neb. Wiping bugs from windshields was old stuff for a gasoline filling sta tion attendant but removing a six-foot rock python from the gas tank was another thing.

' The snake had escaped from its cage during a storm a week before and apparently had been riding the gas tank since. REPLACEMENT -ASHLAND, Aug. 29 (?)

"Distributors reported an ever-tightening delivery situa tlon, with shortages most In evidence in appliance lines.

"Furs continue to lead all apparel lines." ' i Wholesale markets were ac tive, tho agency said, but com mitments were limited by in. creasing shortages and uncer tainty over deliveries.

In blunt, hard-hitting sent ences, the tall, brawny com mander referred to critics who, he said, "have belittled the American army," and warned his men: "We know there are agents of enemy forces and enemy powers within our country, trying to spread dissatisfaction and sus picion, trying to bewilder us, try ing to fill us full of confusion. Watch out for these activities. You may suspect some of those persons who cry on your should ers and ask you to cry on theirs." Describing the soldier's life in a time of emergency as one of sweat and sacrifice. General Lear fell back into the American idiom to ask: "Well, young men of the sec ond army, can you take it?
