SMALL BUSINESSES
 ARE FACING DEATH
Publisher of Houston Post Told House Committee It
 Should Be Stopped

Washington, April 7--(uP)-For- iner Texas Governor P. P. Hobby, publisher of the Houston Post, told the House ways and means commit tee today that thousands of small businesses face "Bentenee Of death" through war-time tax ins croaseS and Sfrinkage in revenue.
 Hobby testified as the committee began what may Dc It's last week of public hearings on the i042 tax bill Still undecided was the issue Of whether 1t would include Q sales tax.
 Hobby urged enactment of e tax bill amendment which would allow businesses without war contracts to arnortizc their debts over c 20 year period. This, he said, was necessary to keep from bankruptcy many firms which borrowed money before the war and expected to pay the debts from earnings under pre-war rates.
 "rheSe debtS," he said, "Were hon. estly incurred prior to January 1, i040, before anyone in this country Visualizcd huge war appropriations which have become necessary since Chat date and must be financed by increased taxes.
 Now these businesses and many individuals similarly situated face this prospect: when they pay taxes under the rates contemplated in the revenue bill of l042 they will have nothing left to apply on their legIt- Innate debts and therefore will face the bitter alternatives of foreclosure, liquidation or bankruptcy"

TEXTILE STRIKE IN
 FALL RIVER ENDS
Eighteen Mills Resumed Work This Morning;
 Idle Two Weeks

Fall River, Mass, April 7-(up)- War production at 18 Fall River tex tile mills resumed today following settlement of Q jurisdietional labor dispute which kept ls,000 workers Idle for two weeks.
 Members Of the American Fedora ton of Textile Operatives Gnde- pendent) voted to return to work at 6 Q, m, after unanimously accepting terms of agreement proposed by the war labor board ct Q mass meting last night. t
 The Strike-the second this year began March 24 because Of the em" ployment of Rudolph simonin, Q knot -tier, who quit the independent craft union to join the Textile Union of America (CIO). AFT0 members ct the King Philip mills of the Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates refsued to work with Simonin and craft workers in othed mills walked out in sympathy.
 Though simonin no longer will be employed as e craft worker, the set- tlenent was claimed as Q victory by the CIO because he will be given another job ct equal pay and his place will be filled by another CIo member. The CIO also gained 0 promise that It's members, industrial workers, will be promated If the mills cannot get experienced men for the craft jobs.
 Theodore W. Kheei, chief mediator for the war labor board, said the settlement had been reached through earnest and sincere cooperation" and warned that the "WLB expects no further interruptions in work at least for the duration"
