1echnica|iiies Delay
Small War Plants,
House Unit Told
Head Of WPB Subsidiary
Claims Civil Service
Rules Block Him
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Lou e. Holland, chairman Of the
Smaller War Plant Corp, told .
congressional committee today that
technical difiiculties had delayed
the organizations functioning and
had given him a dtfncult job
As little boy from the bush
league. I didn't know about these
things when I took over the Job, y
Mr.. Holland, Kansas City business
man, told the Special House Com
mittee on Small Business.
He said he had been blocked by
Civil Service regulations from ad-
vertising for skilled mechanics
land need about 800 OF them
and had encountered other regula-
tions which prevented him from OBJ
tanning the personnel director he
wanted to select key officials.
Il am not complaining" he said
at one point.
II think you should complain -
protested several committee men,
bers.
There, three and one-half
months have gone by" declared
Chairman Patman, land we were
told when we passed the law Great
ing the organization that unless we
acted speedily, tens of thousands Of
small businesses would have to go
out of business. And yet no con-
tracts have been let"
Mr.. Holland said an overall plan
for spreading war contracts among
small manufacturers had been
drafted and now was in the process
of inspection and study by War,
Navy and Maritime Commission
ofiicials.
He reported that he, on assuming
the Craftsmanship of the corporation
set up under the War Production
Board, had told the top ranking
procurement officials of the three
departments that, without their CO.
operation, his job could not be Sue
cessful. @
But he added later that he was
not pushing for contracts until I
can get the field organization set up,
and until I can get the personnel
and administrative machinery in
Washington"
"You won't get anywhere" de-
clared Representative Fitzgerald,
Democrat, Of Connecticut, until you
can get the Army and Navy to break
up the big contracts and give the
little fellow some of the work, then
you will get all the material you
want"
MIR. Patman said the "bottleneck"
resulting from the requirements for
obtaining mechanics from civil serv-
ice lists could be broken by an
amendment to the act which created
the organization.
In the last few weeks, Mr.. Holland
told the committee, the Smaller War
Plants Corp. has obtained for ap-
proximately so small firms contracts
totaling more than $5.ooo, 900.
Progress Of the corporation, he ex-
planned, was deliberately slow be-
cause he did not want to proceed At
full speed until his administrative
setup was satisfactorily completed.

were called from surrounding towns
as far away as Rockville.
The Baltimore Il Ohio said that
after No. l8 had stopped, flagman
had gone back to protect the rear
of the train. as regulations require,
but that he had returned to his
train which was pulling away when
1t was hit.
A road ofIicial said the fagman
either had neglected to put out a
warning torpedo, or that the tor
pedo had failed to explode.
Rockville police went Immediately
to the wreck to render whatever
assistance they could, and Bethesda
police moved on up to Rockville to
take over in their absence.
Two units of the Maryland State
Guard also went to the scene from
Rockville to join other policing
groups. Gov. O'Conor Of Maryland
said al available State police and
State police arnbulances were sent
to the wreck.
The District Red Cross had sent
Is physicians. "a nurses and three
ambulances to the scene and was
dispatching q mobile canteen in
addition.
The Rev. Kelian Healy, 1900 Web
ster street NE, a Catholic priest,
who was summoned from the Capt.
tol Limited, which stopped at the
wreck, said he saw one decapitated
body and saw another body pinned
under the wreckage. Father Healy
gave the last rites Of the church to
dead and dying, as did the Rev.
James I. Bifield of Barnesville.
Father Bif1eld said he saw two
women, still alive trapped in the
wreckage.
The wreck occurred in a cut about
so feet deep and 200 to 800 yards
long.
Ambulances and fire apparatus
were sent to the wreck from manv
nearby sections Of Montgomery and
Frederick Counties and nurses and
doctors were sent to the scene. Hos
pltals close by were asked to pre-
pare to receive the victims.
d. C. Doctors Rushed to Scene.
At the request of Washington
Terminal, Casualty and Galltnger
Hospitals rounded up doctors and
nurses and a score were rushed to
tne wreck IN a special train.
]. c. McCurdy OF Pittsburgh, a
mechanic on the Ambassador. said .
I was In the rear Of the Diesel
when the crash came. The train
buckled and the windows broke, !
picked myself up and crawled out
OF a window to look for others. !
saw Bowman and McClelland (the
engineer and fireman) and they
were all right. We tried to get the
other men out Of the baggage car
but the wrecked freight started to
burn and the fire spread to the
baggage car. There wasn't anything
we could do. We could see parts
OF bodies in the baggage car"
Mr.. McCurdy was suffering from
bruises and shock.
The trainmen said this was his
third serious train accident in the
past year. In a Diesel freight train
accident near Chicago he escaped
when his locomotive ran of a draw
bridge. At Akron. a train he was
working on struck a truck loaded
with steel pipe and all other train
men were killed
Investigators from the Interstate
Commerce Commission were sent
to the wreck by Shirley N. Mills,
director OF the Bureau of Safety.

an amendment freezing social Sc
curity taxes during 1943 at their
present levels Of per cent on en-
ployers and ! per cent on employees.
Would Stay Increase.
The effect Of the amendment, If
adopted finally by Congress. would
be to stay an increase to 2 per cent
on employees and a like amount
on employers which automatically
would 60 in effect January /.
Treasury ofrcials previously had
told the committee they expected to
lay before Congress, after passage
of the revenue bill, a request for
an increase in these taxes to an
overall figure of per cent.
Senator Vandenberg contended
that no increase in the tax was
needed to supply the reserve fund
for the payment Of benefits. since
he said, it now includes an amount
six times greater than the anticipat-
ed benefit payments for the next
five years.
Connally Motion Loses.
Senator Connally, Democrat, o.
sTexas offered the amendment II
tax the excess earnings of indi.
viduals, but his motion lost, 6 to Z
He proposed q so per cent tax or
all earnings in excess of those In {
base period. Senator George sait
that adoption OF the amendment
would have necessitated q complete
revision Of the individual income
tax sections of the measure.
In other actions, the commit
tee voted:
To raise the tax rate on divi
dends and interest paid to non
resident aliens and foreign corpora
tions from 27a per cent to 80 pc
cent, instead OF to 37d per cen
as proposed by the House.
To permit corporations to deduc
for tax purposes up to per cen
of their income for contribution
to the United Service Oreaniza
tion, Army-Navy Relief and sim
liar groups. The action simply add
ed the service aid organizations d
the list Of approved charities.

Program as a fair and equitable move to meet the cost of this War,
