 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Drastic streamlining of education to meet war needs and avoid the pitfalls which gave education such a set back in World War I is under way.

 Appointed by John w. Studebaker, U S. Commissioner of Education, at the request of Federal Security Ad- ministrator Paul V. McNutt, the commission already is in high gear. Some of the things in immediate prospect are:
 1. Reduction of the college course to three and possibly two and half years, in order to give youth it's degrees and a completed education before it is called into the army or into civilian defense and wartime industries. This speedup has been

WASHINGTON - Representative Adolph Sabath, chairman of the House Rules Committee, got an earful of cheering news about plans for succoring war-hit little busl- ness during his talk with the Presi- dent. The President told the H. hnoian that two measures are in the works:
 CD Spreading out" of war pro- duction by mandatory sub con- tracts to the thousands of small firms being forced to the wall be- cause of material shortages and curtailment of civilian goods pro- ductiOn.
 (2) REC distress" loans to en- able such firms to finance addi- tional facilities needed for war work.
 The President told Sabath that going to the rescue of little busi- ness will be one of the first jobs tackled by Donald Nelson in his new capacity as war production czar. Nelson is ideally equipped for this job, the President said. be- cause of his sympathetic attitude toward the problems of little busi- ness men growing out of the war emergency.
 "The little fellow has real friend in Don Nelson" Roosevelt declared. That was one of the reasons appointed him."
 The President also disclosed that big primary contractors will be compelled to farm out a larger pro portion of Army and Navy orders under a plan being perfected by Nelson. He and Nelson already have had one conference on the small business problem and others are slated in the near future.
 The President added that he had sent word to Federal Loan boss Jesse Jones that immediate steps be taken to expedite aid" through REC loans to small consumer-in- dustry plants now facing close downs, but which are capable of conversion to war manufacturing So far, however, Jones has not reported back on the matter.
 I'm certainly glad to hear this, MT. President said Sabath. "The big fellow can get all the money he wants from Jesse Jones, but the little man has to go through

FISHING BAN F0RE5EEN FOR
 BRISTOL BAY
Terrifory's WedIthiest Sal mon Grounds Prob
 ably to Be Closed

All fishing west of Kodiak Is- land probably will be banned dur ing the 1922 season, Acting Cover nor E. L. Bartlett late this after noon said he had been informed from "an official source" in Wash ington, D. c.
 If the threatened curtailment is carried out, a drastic blow at the Territory's chief source of salmon the rich, teeming Bristol Bay red salmon grounds-will be struck, Bartlett declared. Bristol Bay an- nually supplies from one-fifth to one-third of the Territory's pack and pays a tremendous share of the Territory's tax revenue.
 The curtailment has been pro- posed because of lack of cargo space" Bartlett said he was in formed.
 Bristol Bay canneries pay approxi- mately $3OOOO0 in direct taxes every season. Bartlett said, in addition to the nonresident fishermans tax. The Red salmon pack from the area averages a million cases a year and will be a heavily felt loss, not only to the canneries and their employees but to the nation as well, which is heavily dependent upon the Alaskan canneries for salmon throughout the year.
 Also affected by the order, pre- sumably. would be the fishing banks of the Aleutian Islands and all other fishing grounds lying west of Kodiak Island.
