|U.S. AID EXPECTED
FOR SMALL FIRMS
Protection From Competition
Of Larger Enterprises
Asked in Congress.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

Washington observers believe some
measure Of protection for small busi-
nesses will be enacted at the present
session of Congress.
Already legislation to insure more
adequate protection for small enter
prises against trade practices Of larger
competitors operating under N. r. A.
codes has been the subject Of congress
sional debate and administrative action.
Members of Congress have protested
that certain codes have permitted or
encouraged monopolistic procedures and
that they have Imposed serious financial
burdens on small flrmS.
As a means to remedying alleged in
equities Of codes now In force the Ma
tional Recovery Administration has
scheduled hearings to consider revision
Of practices in four industries, while a
general public conference for review Of
complaints relating to the effects Of all
codes thus far approved is to be held
here in February.
A survey of the effects Of code appli-
cations Is now being made by the
Chamber OF Commerce OF the United
States, which Is inviting reports OF
cases felt to involve damage to small
companies that complainants believe
can be attributed to the N. r. A.
Many Of the complaints Of oppression
of small enterprises are based on ap-
parent inequities in minimum wage and
maximum hour provisions of codes
rather than upon allegations OF mo-
nopolistic practices. Some small busi-
nesses have reported difficulties in OBJ
tanning credit to finance payment OF
increased wages required by code COM
pliance. In this connection, the N. r.
A. assigned one of the division admin
istrators to formulate measures for
liberalizing the extension OF credit to
small enterprises.
With respect to alleged oppression OF
small enterprises resulting from inabh-
ity to meet increased labor costs, the
recovery administrator has stated that
the N r. A. will continue to follow
the policy of insisting on maintenance
of minimum wage scales sufficient to
provide a decent standard OF living. In
this respect he called attention to a
statement made by President Roosevelt
that no business which depends for
existence on paying less than living
wages to workers has any right to exist.
President Roosevelt has returned the
construction code to the Recovery Ao-
ministration for reconsideration OF con-
troversial points.
In the meantime a public hearing on
a separate code for electrical contrac-
tors, containing minimum rate apply
ing uniformly to the whole country OF IS
cents per hour for skilled workers, mas
opened up one Of the main questions In
controversy. namely, whether a collec-
lively bargained agreement can pe
made binding on all employers through
the medium Of q code.

Drinking
PrObed

Investigation of a high school

weeks ago in the National Press
Club auditorium, at which several
students were said to have been
seen drunk, is being held by school
officials, it was revealed today.
The dance, an affair sponsored
by a Central High School fra.

correspondent as an example of
high school life. The story came
to the attention of Assistant
Superinten e Mt of Schools
Stephen Kramer, who is now di
recting the investigation.
Students attending the dance
have given different version OF
the affair.
The doorkeeper at the dance,
student, admitted that some
persons obviously drunk at
tempted to crash" the dance, but
were stopped. Later the CRASH
ers' returned and offered to pay
for their admission, but were re-
fused, he said.
Mr.. Kramer said that so far
he has not been able to find
any evidence of rowdyism at the
dance. The youths who tried to
break in were evidently the per-
sons seen by the newspaper man,
