Many of the delegates were re-

bate, but Roper's suggestion
finally was carried by standing

The Presidents statement was
transmitted to the conference by
Secretary of Commerce Roper.
The President emphasized that
while the small business session
is being sponsored by the Admin
istration, the delegates have come
here voluntarily and have not
been selected by the government.
EXPERTS HELPFUL SESSION
II welcome you to Washing
ton" Mr.. Roosevelt's message
said. Your meeting, called by
the Secretary of Commerce at
my request, is intended to more
intimately acquaint me with the
problems of smaller business. I
anticipate that the suggestions
resulting from your conference
will be very helpful to me.
II hope it is clear that we
have not picked the personnel
of this conference. 1t is inter-
eSting, however, that requests
to attend have been received
from A States. Certainly, all
having constructive interest
in the objectiVes of this meet
ing will be accorded full oppor-
tunity to make their views
known. We are all American
citizens striving for justice for
all and recognize that if all
would prosper it is fundamental
that all segments must prosper.
ASSISTANCE is CITED
"The Administration has rec
ognized continuously the import
. ance of small business in our in
y duStrial and social life and has,
through various agencies, en-
deaVored to assist in this direc-
ton through the correction of
Embellishments, which, in the
volume and confusion of our
times, are farreaching. Under
these conditions the conference
method provides the proper and
constructive way of exchanging
views so that government and
small business can better under
stand each others problems and
responsibilities and more effec-
lively approach them"
The President explained thai
business problems naturally divide
themselves into two genera
groups:
ONE-ThoSe which can anc
should be worked out privately BY
business through cooperation o1
local agencies and.
TWO-Those which, un Ell
present disturbed and malad
juSted conditions" temporarily re
b uuire the assistance of the Fed
b eral Government.
WANTS INITIATIVE AIDED
= I'm other words" the Presi-
dent said, efforts to perma-
nently help business must not
leave out of consideration the
fact that our greatest assets are
- human resources and the great
est attribute is human initiative.
This initiative needs to be en-
couraged and not discouraged" "
Roper, in transmitting the Pres
ident's views, assured the deli
gates they were in a "sympatheti
atmosphere.

 Bremen found themselves on the back end of a 10 to g score at the end of the first quarter, Is to l6 at halftime, and 25 to g at the end of the third quarter.
 Score Tied
 In the fourth, Elmer Hautala tied for the Bremen with a field goal, bringing the score 25-25, then heightened to 29-25. The Henning men pulled up a point with free toss and then Henning guard, Pope, playing a beautiful offensive and de- fensive game. dropped long looper off the blackboard to close up within one point of the leading mark.
 Eddie Lawson took advantage of a foul by Behrends and made the free toss to tie the score. Bremen center Metzgar sunk one, but as the seconds faded, Pope dropped an- ether long one, enchanted, and tied up again with the gun going

 From there on, Bremen stretched cut in the five-minute overtime and came in over the line with four points to the good.
 IIenning Club Different
 The Henning club was different team. It played heads-up ball. It passed and it looked smooth, and up to the last few minutes of play, its defense was tough enough to break up the usual Firemen's stride.
 From now on, the Henning club is a team to watch.
 The Elks outplayed the Miners so greatly in the first half of play in the evenings nightcap that the green suited squad was never able to come abeam of a tie.
 May led the attack for the Elks with twelve points, with DeVault marking g. Elmer Lindstrom, tightly sewed up and having tough luck on his shots, aggregated only nine markers for highest man on the Miners squad.
 At halftime, the Elks had a lead of 19 to 10, at third quarters end, 26 to 19, and managed to hang on, although a determined Miner rally came within a breath of evening things up.
 ElkS' Smooth Team
 The Elks squad is a smoother team and in the last two games has given promise of being first place bidder. The Miners have apparently hit a slump, but they will come out of it.
 However, in league standings, now the Miners and the Elks are tied for second spot behind the Fire men, each having won three and lost two while the Bremen are still
