Benton Proves

BY LEO MACDONELL

Al (Fireman) Benton today APP
peared 10 have established firm
proof that he is a starting pitcher.
Known as one of the best, if not
the best, relief finger in the
American League, Benton's value
as a starting pitcher was more or
less doubted.
But il wasn't doubted by Benton.
While deeply grateful for the nice
notices of his fire fighting ability,
Benton never cared particularly
for the relief role. He always
figured he was a starting pitcher
and, in his quiet way, predicted
that if given a chance he would
prove il.
Yesterday at Briggs Stadium be-
fore 1853 fans. Benton shut out
the Indians, 2 TO 0, TO give the
Tigers victory in one game of a
doubleheader. The Detroiters
dropped the second, 4 to /.

For one thing. the defense COM

In textiles the story is the same.
Army clothing contracts are in
many cases going TO concerns so
small that they can't handle more
than a $4,000 to $4,000 job. Here
the government has cleared the
road by permitting manufacturers
TO bid fob. the factory instead of
delivered at the army depots-a
fact which aids the little fellow
who doesn't have his own traffic
department and isn't fitted to fig
ure transportation costs.
Sub-contracts represent much
more important part of the picture.
Douglas Aircraft. for instance,
is letting sub-contracts for parts
as far east as eastern Pennsyl-
vania, and is having so railway
cars specially equipped to shuttle
the new parts back TO the Califor-
MIA factory. Other big contractors
are doing the same. Metal work.
ing industries are particularly fav-
ored In this regard.
In general, IL can be said that
the small manufacturer can profit
by the defense program provided
he doesn't expect too much. II he
recognizes the fact that his proper
field Is sub-contracts, and contents
himself with the prospect of work.
ing at capacity with his present
equipment, and doesn't expect the
government TO build huge new
plant for him, he is likely to do
very well indeed.
There should be no shortage of
credit for the little business man.
The defense commission present
ed this problem to the federal re-
serve board some time ago. As
result. each federal reserve bank
official has assigned one official 70
spend all his time studying the
credit needs of small businesses in
his territory and seeing how these
needs can be met by the local
banks. Here again. according TO
men close to the defense program.
II is important that the small bust
ness man realize that he does not
need to come down to Washington
and try To get an RFC loan. In
general. local banks have plenty
of money TO meet his needs. II he
is In line for some new business he
can get all the money he must
have without leaving his home dis
trict.
One point in the small business
mans favor is the fact that ne

men are much less likely 10 feel
the need of union TO bargain for
them. Also, as matter OF prac-
teal politics. the union organizer
is apt to leave them alone and
concentrate on the forces in the

Beyond the direct effects OF the
defense program. II is beginning
TO be evident that the indirect
effects Of heavy defense spending
are filtering down through all the
channels Of trade. The little bust
