The Inside Track in Washinqton

Up its new section. A program OF
this kind has never been attempt
ed before. Finding the right man
to head it, an economist with con-
facts among the independent bust"
ness men and the small business
mems associations. is one of the
first problems. There will be no
formula for operations and no
speech making about what all can
be done, until the problems Of lit
lie business have been surveyed
and studied.
To get ut the problem, Arnold is
willing to receive complaints from
small businessmen who have been
subjected to squeeze plays in the,
defense effort. He admits frankl1
that he cannot begin to answer,
individually. all complaints receiv-
ed. He expects to get a Sizeable
proportion of crackpot letters pre-
senting imaginary grievances about
which nothing can be done, but out
of the mass of correspondence the
antitrust division does receive, IT,
hopes to be able to find out what
the problems of the little business
man are in this period.
When the new organization is
set up, Aronld hopes that it will
be a frienc of the little business
man in the long halls of govern
Elent. Big business has always had
its representatives in Washington.
Small business has not. Antitrust
division hopes it can fill the gap.
It's work in enforcement of the
Sherman antitrust law is now be-
ginning to be known generally. 1t
is in cases where violation of that
law puts the little business man
at a disadvantage that the anti

count in the indictment was
dropped when the former mayor
pleaded guilty to other parts of
the bill.
Judge Picard specified that the
$4,000 fine must be paid by

sentence for three years means
that should Reading commit any
illegal act during that time, he
would be required to serve his
sentence.
Reading has pleaded innocent

with having evaded $4,000 in

WASHINGTON, April 30-(R
President Roosevelt has de-
clined to reappoint Hugh S.
Johnson q brigadier general in
the army reserve corps.
The President's press secre.
tary, Stephen Early, announced
that action today and said that
personalities did not enter into
II. ~
Johnson was head of the old
MIRA and in, recent years has
been lecturing and writing z
newspaper column. At times he
has been severely critical of the
administration.
Early read to reporters ex-
cerpts from a'letter sent to John
son, on behalf OF the President,
by Mr.. Roosevelt's secretary and
military aide, Major General E.
M. Watson.
The letter said the Chief Ex-
ecutive felt very strongly that
in the present emergency. reap
pointmept of general officers
who are eligible by reason of
age, to the reserve corps, should
be restricted to. those whose en-
ployment in active service Is an
ticipated, and that only after the
physical fitness Of the officer has
been Investigated to the satisfac-
ton of army doctors.
Early said johnson was eligible
for reappointment on the score
of his age, and that the war de-
partment had waived the ques-
ton of his physical fitness.
The department also had
recommended to the President
that Johnson be recommissioned.
He had been recommissioned
previously for three-five year
periods. During that time, Early
said, johnson had not beer on
active duty or in direct touch
with the army.

FAR EAST THREAT
In the Far East, the COM
mander of the Singapore naval
base was quoted in q BIC.
broadcast as saying there was
definite danger of invasion" in
that area. A steady stream of
long-range British bombers was
said to be arriving at the base.
Russia's attitude in the ex-
panding war still posed a major
mystery.
Pravda, the official Commun-
list party organ, said four Ger
man transports landed about
$4,000 Nazi troops equipped
with tanks and artillery at the
port of Turku (Abo), Finland,
on April 26.
Two days later, Pravda said,
the Germans proceeded north
to Tempere. Germans in Moscow
said the Nazi troops were among
regular units sent to Norway
through Finland under an agree
ment with the Helsinki govern
ment.
It was the first time that no.
tice of such German troops
movements had appeared in the
Soviet press.
In London, British circles ex-
pressed hope that the Russian
ban on transit of war materials
would result in choking off one
of Germany's vital supply
routes.
LESS OPTIMISTIC
Less optimistic observers dis
counted the move as mere win
dow-dressing'- q subterfuge
to offset assertions that huge
quantities of goods purchased by
Russia in the United States were
finding their way into Germany,
thus eluding the British block
ade.
On the north African war
front, Premier Mussolini's high
command reported that Axis
troops driving into Egypt toward
the Suez canal had forced the
British to withdraw from several
points in the Salum AREA of
Egypt, just across the Libyan
frontier.
A Fascist communique assert
ed that notable losses" were
inflicted on the British.
Anxiously watching develop
ments in the Mediterranean, the
British found new cause for
concern in stepped-up Nazi
aerial offensive hitting at Eng
lands vital south coast ports.
Again overnight, the Luft-
waite smashed violently at
bomb-scarred Plymouth in a f.
hour assault-the fifth time in
eight nights-and a British COM
munique said it was feared that
"a large number of persons
have lost their lives"
Clear weather favored the
Nazi raiders, who scattered ex-
plosivcs and fire bombs over a
wide area on the English south
coast.
The raids followed a seven
hour daylight bombardment of
