Federal Aid SOUGHT
For Small Business
Affected by Defense
Vondenberg Urges
Senote Inquiry Into
Priorities System
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Government aid was sought today
for small businesses. hard pinched
by the priority system.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, of
Florida told the Senate yesterday
that Congress should provide COM
pensation" for both the employees
and operators of small firms which
| had been forced to close because
the raw materials they normally
processed are being absorbed by the
defense program.
Senator Pepper predicted that
hundreds Of thousands" Of persons
would be thrown out of work by the
application of priority orders, and
called on President Roosevelt Ito
start meeting this problem by an
| adequate program"
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, OF
Wyoming called for action on his
proposal to create priorities board
to which small business could ap-
peal when denied supplies. Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan suggested pushing a thorough
inquiry into the priorities system.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana declared that the system
tended to produce super -monopo-
lies" with big firms getting the bulk
| of defense orders.
Senator Vandenberg touched OF
the discussion by inquiring of Sem
ator Truman, Democrat. of Missouri
whether a proposed increase Of three
| in the Senator Defense Investigat-
ing Committee would permit thor
ough inquiry into the priorities
setup.
The Senate finally approved the
proposal to increase the size Of the
Defense Investigating Committee
with Senator Truman's assurance
that the group would continue its
inquiry into priorities.
