Little Businessmen
Planning 10 SET Up
Pressure Group
Nearly 100 Delegates
Due Here Thursday
For Conference

Nearly 100 delegates of the Smaller
Business Association of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut will
arrive here Thursday for a confer
ence with Federal officials on the
needs of the small business man,
chiefly credit. The delegates expect
to talk with Secretary of Commerce
Hopkins, S. E. c. Chairman Frank
and Senator Mead, Democrat, Of
New York.
The delegation, according to its
announcement, will come to the
Capital with the intention of setting
up a pressure group" to work for
small business interests, working
ION the order of the lobbies of big
business. labor unions, farm blocs,
veterans groups, ETC."
Henry Model of New York City,
in his advance notice Of the associa-
tit.n's visit here, remarks:
Small business. for many years
having been unselfish, undemanding
and long suffering, is now insisting
on being heard by official Washing
ton in the same spirit and co-opera-
ton that is being given to big busi-
ness labor and farmer"
The first business of the delegates
will be an attempt to enlist support
for passage by Congress Of law
providing easy loans to small busi-
ness. The delegation plans to pro-
pose also that labor unions be forced
to incorporate and that arbitration
of labor disputes be. compulsory
Mr.. Model observed:
Many unions have taken advan-
tage of small business men of linn
tied means by forcing them to sign
unfair labor contracts without me-
diation or arbitration. These brow
beating tactics have caused consid-
erable embarrassment and financial
loss to unorgsnized and defenseless
small business men," ...
The association also wants the
Government to provide for the licen-
sing of wholesalers who sell retail.

Oklahoma Brings
Fight Against Dam
ToSupremeCourt
Arguments to Stort
Tomorrow; Injunction
Asked on U. S. Project.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Jan. 27.-Ok-
lahomas sovereign right to kick out
a $54,000,000 Federal project will be
argued Monday before the United
States Supreme Court.
A year ago. big red-haired Gov.
Leon C. Phillips began to protect
his State, he said, from losses which
would result if the huge hydro
electric food control reservoir on
Red River were constructed.
In spite of that. the work has
started. So the States attorneys,
asserting the project exceeds Fed
eral authority, have asked the court
for permission to file injunction
proceedings.
They will charge that the dam
inflicts irreparable damage for
which the proposed Federal COM
pensation is inadequate. will oblit-
crate 40 miles of boundary, cause
tax losses and force the exodus
of 5000 Oklahomans from flooded
lands.
Program May be Threatened.
Constitutionality of at least part
of the 1888 Flood Control Act, under
which the Government has launched
many construction programs, may
be jeopardized if the court recog-
nizes Oklahoma's right to sue.
Specifically, the Oklahoma attor-
neys will be presenting oral afgu-
ment for leave to ask an injunction
barring the War Department from
proceeding with the dam.
Washington attorneys have fore
cast that the court might rule fully
on the merits of the controversy
in its decision on the motion.
The reservoir. which will straddle
the river on Oklahomas S southern
boundary near Denison, Tex, is a
pet aversion of Mr.. Phillips. He
devoted a third of his first legisla-
tive message last January to de-
nouncing the proposal.
Many Residents Favor Dam.
But he met stiff opposition Many
residents of Southeastern Oklahoma
are thoroughly for the dam and the
huge outlay of Federal funds it will
bring. The entire State congress
sional delegation of nine supported
it. Texans fought Mr.. Phillips. At
hearing in Washington, it was
hinted he had the interest of utili-
ties in mind. This he denied.
Mr.. Phillips contends further that
he is not an anti-New Dealer: that
he is pressing the issue only as a
protector of the State and its con-
stitutional rights.
The Governor has praised ma
jority of New Deal enactments and
has criticised a few He is on good
terms with the party organization.
Oklahoma's representatives be-
fore the. high court will contend
that the act as applied to the Deni-
son Dam goes beyond the powers
of Congress; that the reservoir is
local in character and not neces-
sary part of any other project au-
thorized by the 1898 statute.
The Government has retorted that
the project is a proper exercise of
Congress power to provide for the
general welfare.

English-American organist, who Is
to appear in this city under the
auspices of the American Guild of
Organists, District of Columbia

for his outstanding feat of playing
the entire organ literature of Johann
Sebastian Bach in IL recitals at the
Germanic Museum of Harvard Uni

limited specialist in this classic
period of music, hardly any one has
done more to present modern Amer

his appearances with the Symphony
Orchestra of Boston under Serge
Koussevitsky, and with the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra, playing the
organ concerto by Leo Sowerby.
From the time Of winning the
Thomas Threlfall competitive schol-
arship at the Royal Academy of
Music, E. Power Biggs had a dis
tinguished career at this famous
institution and graduated with high
est honors and distinction. Concert
appearances at Queens Hall with
Sir Henry Wood, and at the special
prize-giving ceremonies before the
Duke Of Connaught and other rep
resentatives Of royalty, were greeted
in the London press with praise for
his concert ability. After a number
of concerts throughout England, Mr..
Biggs made his American debut in
the famous Wanamaker Auditorium
in New York and has played 109
recitals in 80 weeks in America.
Mr.. Biggs will play the following
program:
