Small Business Problem

The new NRA bill hangs fire in Congress
while the lawmakers try to figure out the best
way of taking the brakes off Of business recov-
cry without putting any further obstacles in
the way of the small business man. And while
get the point of view of one of these much
discussed small business men. What is his
slant on recovery, anyhow?
There came to this desk the other day 4
letter from the owner Of Z modest shoe repair
shop in Hornell, N. Y. He raises point which
illustrates one of the most difficult angles of
the whole tangle.
'sIn 1926-my peak year," he writes, Il had
. gross sales volume of $5,913.6O. In 1884
the same number of sales through the cash
register-and gross volume Of business Of
$1,668.6O; the outcome of trying to meet the
chain shops price dictation. No profit, and
in the red.
NATURALLY, cannot buy as heavily or for
future needs. cannot make the necessary i'm.
provements in my home or new additions to the
shop. Why? Because chain grocery adver-
tised soles and heels at cents pair. To meet
that form Of competition would have to work
a man for nothing, give my savings to the
wholesaler and donate my services free Of
charge. Then they wonder why we have hard
times and depression!"
Ut should be understood. Of course, that the
chain store was selling merely the soles and
heels, and was not attaching them to the Gus
toner's shoes for that price,
In trying to think your way out Of dilen,-
mn like this, you come up against one Of the
most vexing contradictions Of the day; the con-
flict between the consumers desire for cheap
retail prices which the economies Of big busi-
ness units make possible, on the one hand and
ths necessity for preserving one of the funda-
mental features Of the American landscape
the small shop in which the individual worker
q retailer ean find independence.
AZ consumers, we look for the lowest price
levels available. II = big corporation offers US
commodities at price which the individual
merchant cannot meet. We rush to the bargain
counter and snap them up. Yet few Of u care
10 picture m America In which the industrious
sud ambitious man can no longer branch out
for himself and establish little business Of his
own. That freedom Of opportunity Il one Of
our most priced national assets.
Somehow we have got to find . way to har-
tnonizs this difficulty. A return to prosperity
which squeezed out the small business man
would cost more than It Was worth. Whatever
the answer may be-and It must Be admitted
that It isn't in sight. just off-hand-ths pres
sure on units like this Hornell shoe repair shop
must be lessened.

wearing the same pair-of socks
that warmed his feet half way
round the world, rolled up to the
White House yesterday in the Ma

embarked.
Inside, he bumped into Chair
man Jesse Jones, who wanted to
know whether it was true that the
Vice President had to take off his
shoes when calling upon the En-
peror of Japan. Garner snapped:
mot a word of truth in it,
Jesse. l kept my shoes on when
/ was received by the Emperor.
And the truth it I'm wearing

Jones gulped. So did the other

MORE MONEY
FOR BOOKS
LA WEE KILMAN

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Readers
are spending more money for
books, buying more expensive
books, and choosing from a wider
range of titles than at any time
since 1929, book publishers agreed
yesterday as they prepared their
last shipments on out-of-town
orders in the most expansive
Christmas season the book bust
ness has known since the begin
ming of the depression.
Sales Exceed 1884
With sales figures exceeding
1884 totals in nearly every case,
some publishers reported new all
time records. The month Of
November, according to Richard
L. Simon, of Simon g. SchuSter,
Inc, recorded more sales for his
concern than any other month
in its history.
In the first is days of De-
cember Harcourt Brace & Co.,
Inc, filled orders for more than
double the total for the entire
month in 1884.
Selection Much Wider
W. w. Norton, president of the
National Association of Book Pub
fishers and of w. w. Norton and
Company, Inc. publishers, eX-
planned the book boom as result
of wider selection on the part of
the buying public. Not only best
sellers are bought, he pointed out,
as was the case when fewer books
were sold, but readers are discover
ing that many books which are less
we'll known are worth reading.
Mr.. Norton said:
There are no statistics yet
available on Christmas sales, but
there is no doubt that it will be
the best Christmas season for
publishers and bookstores, not
only in New York, but all
through the country, since the
depression. Many people who
have been borrowing or renting
books have now begun to buy
them again."

CITIZEN GROUP
WILL OPPOSE
REFERENDUM
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Opposition was voiced by the
Conduit Road Citizens Association
last night at the Potomac Heights
Community Church to the bill
sponsored by Commissioner
George E. Allen, providing for a
referendum in the District. The
referendum would be advisory in
capacity only, and therefore not
binding on the Commissioners.
Clyde s. Bailey, who led the
attack on the bill, said the kind
of suffrage it provided for was
not what District residents
wanted, and that their views al
ways will be placed before the
Commissioners through organized
citizenry. What is said to be
highly desirable is that form Of
suffrage which will place the Dis
trict of Columbia on an equal
parity with the States Of the
Union.
The association tabled a reSolu-
tion received from the Sixteenth
Street Heights Citizens ASsocia-
ton, reprimanding Thomas E.
Lodge, president of the Federation
Of Citizens Association, for ap-
pearing before the Alcoholic Bev.
erage Control Board in behalf Of
an applicant for a liquor license
in the Sixteenth Street ASSocia-
tons territory.
It was reported that Lodges
going before the board was in re-
Sponse to a subpoena and not as
representing the federation. The
consensus of agreement as ex-
pressed at the meeting last night
was that the federation should
clarity its laws so as to guide its
officers in the future.
Sullivan Commended
The association gave indorSe.
ment to a resolution by President
Frank T. Shull, commencing
George e. Sullivan. as chairman
Of a special committee from the
federation which recently ap-
peared before the Board of Educa-
tion, and requested that Commu-
nistic literature be withdrawn
from the public schools.
A vigorous protest was regis
tered by Ellis R. King, a former
president, regarding the lack Of
adequate police protection in the
Conduit Road section. Mr.. King
said a promise was made by the
Police Department last year to
assign six additional men to the
Seventh precinct, and that the
department had not complied
with the promise.
Mr.. King offered resolution
which was indorsed, requesting
that additional patrolmen now be
assigned to the precinct. from
the group of recruits recently
added to the police force and
who now are in training at the
police school.
To Appoint Committee
President Shul was directed to
appoint a special committee to
work toward maintaining Con-
duit Road as strictly residential,
except where business now ex-
lists.
Charles Goude, was named
chairman of the Associations
Christmas tree exercises. The tree
will be placed in the 5000 block in
Conduit Road.
An attempt by Albert Lyman to
have the association indorse the
Norton bill, designed to legalize
horse racing in the District, and
another effort to have the group
oppose the Guyer dry bill, resulted
in both measures being referred
to the executive committee for
study and a report at the January
meeting.

CROSBY SECOND.
 HALF HOOP PLAY WON S4-15 GAME
LeavenwOrth OutpIayed VictOrs in Opening Half;
 Alumni Tomorrow

Not until the final half of the game did Crosby High schools new- ly formed basketball squad exhibit anything like an effective scoring punch, but eventually wound up with a SAILS win over Leavenworth High, which was more or less ex- pected. What was not expected, however, was the spectacle of Lea venworth's inexperienced outfit, att tired in splendid new uniforms, completely outplaying Crosby in the first two periods, though trailing by a pair of points at half time 2 to 9.
 Different Team
 i One of those typical Schofield pep talks brought the pride and joy of the Old Grad to life in the third period when they passed, shot and played like 0 team that could Ego places" when it gets under way. Crosby picked up II points in the third heat while holding Leaven worth to five and scored almost at will in the last period, with Captain Jimmy Harrison, Garner and Chip- man doing most of the scoring. Evans, Turcotte and Mccormack going well for Leavenworth.
 Leavenworth Reserves dropped 8 sizzling 29-21 game to Crosby aides in the preliminary game after lead- ing by point at half time 13-12 and Wood the Leavenworth center scoring five times from the field. Kazinski, Luke, and Spadola were Crosby standouts.
 Grads All Set
 Tomorrow night Crosby gets another test against a strong Alum nj outfit master minded by Maestro Will Derwin, the old Greek scholar who will put college-trained group on the floor capable of showing the students plenty of hoop tricks. Abe Steinman of Penn, Elton Wilmot of Washington College, Eddie ODonnell of Holy Cross, Bob Mo- Donald of Cornell, Ike Kern and Jimmy Gribbon of Colgate, Henry Koch and Joe Joyce.

The final score was Colgate 35, Notre Dame 21.
 The second game showed more action when Ohio State downed Army in the last few minutes of play. Frankie Butcher and Frankie Berardi shared scoring honors for the Ohio State five, Butcher show ing the way in the first half and Berardi coming through in the final quarter to save the day. Gruberman scored ten points for the losers but the Frankie combination was too much for him. Ohio State 31, Army 27.
 Packards Win
 The first game of the senior league saw the Packard five edge out a victory over the Chrysler 21 to IT. Arnold Wurm supplied the power for the Packard combina- tion by scoring 9 points. Chuck Janik came up fast in the last per- iod but not fast enough, for the losers.
 The most exciting game of the season was seen when the Ply mouths and Model Ts played neck and neck throughout the four quar- terS. In the overtime period the Model Ts won by 8 basket. Joe Marcelonis played the role of hero by garnering 13 points and then sinking the deciding basket in the last few seconds. Uraske put up a beautiful fight for the losers by get ting points, and playing 8 haslly defensive game. The final score was Model Ts 9, Plymouth 21.
 The Vas took over the Bucks 23 to g in a one-sided battle in which Francis Quinn provided oc- casional excitement by sensational shots from the sides and middle of the court. He contributed 13 of the V-8s g points. Billie Butcher showed defensive ability for the losers and was also the high scorer for the team with five points to his credit.
