 This has the New Deal itself frantically worried, for the latest defense experiment to protect little business has just blown up. This is the inside reason be- hind the trip of Floyd Odlu1n to the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn. Officially it's ulcers. But back of that is worry over failure to spread war contracts among little business men.
 It hasn't been announced yet, but OdIum is getting out. He Is going back to Wall Street where he finds running big busi- ness lot easier than trying to take war contracts away from big business and give them to little business.
 Odlum, who is head of the At- las Corporation, outsmarted some of the best brains in Wall street, but he found he, couldn't break through the rampant of Army Navy brass hats, the OPM One- Dollar-Men and all the other red tape artists who beleived in throw ing contracts in the easiest di- rection-to big business-and let ting little business go into bank ruptcy.
 Wall Street Wizard Odlum set up the Contracts Distribution Division of OPM, but after he has spent three months in mas ter -minding, the little business problem is still as acute as when OdIum tackled it. If anything it's worse. The vehemence and number of complaints have increased so greatly that Demo- cratic leaders are up in arms and have taken their fears di- rect to the White House. DEFENSE STEPCHILD

 In giving recognition to that, Sen- ator Norris undoubtedly makes g wise decision, at least as far as his personal welfare is concerned. Nevertheless the Senate would not seem the same without him. Me- braskans would require time to ad- just themselves to seeing another in his place.

Nothing quite excites public interest in shopping and the holiday spirit than the display of lights that Waterbury boasts this year. Somehow or other the lights create excitement and when people reach a certain peak of exuberance they usually react in the manner for which merchants hope buying.
