Small Business Needs
Loans 10 Produce for
War, Nelson Says
Asks Senute Committee
Not to Divide Authority
Over Use of Plants
By J. A. O'LEARY.

Some method of financial aid
to small business is absolutely
essential" if such concerns are to
be fitted into war production pic
lures, Donald M. Nelson, war
production chief, told the Senate
Banking Committee today.
He told the committee, however,
it would be unfortunate if Congress
created by law a new small business
division in the War Production
Board, predicting it would divide
authority. He suggested, instead,
that Congress instruct the director
to do whatever he believes should
be done, to keep responsibility CEN
traliZed
Mr.. Nelson recommended to the
committee holding a hearing on
small business relief bill that a
substitute be enacted on these
three major principles:
l. Vest responsibility directly in
the chairman of w. P. B. to handle
the small business problem, instead
of Congress creating a small busi-
ness section by law.
2. Make it the chairmans duty to
use small plants to their maximum
ability in war production, but do
not make it my duty to dole out
materials in relief fashion to con-
Germs not figuring in war production
3. Define duties, but do not freeze
methods.
R.F. C. Loans Favored.
In supporting the section of the
pending bill authorizing the r. F. c..
to make loans to facilitate CONVEX
sion of small plants to war pro-
duction, Mr.. Nelson said that is
essential IF we are going to tackle
this problem" because one of the
main difficulties of small concerns
being fitted into the defense pro-
duction picture is getting adequate
financing to take the contracts
Mr.. Nelson told the committee
during his testimony that he is CO.
operating with the R. F. c. to give
high priority rating to synthetic
rubber factories and to help build
more than heretofore have been
planned.
High priority ratings for such
plants as far as possible were de-
cided on at q meeting of w. P. B.
yesterday, he said.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
asked Mr.. Nelson if his objections
to the pending bill would be met by
directing him to designate a sub
ordinate group to deal with the
small business problem. Mr. Nelson
said that would be satisfactory and
Senator Taft indicated he thought
an agreement could be worked out
on that basis.
Senator Murray, Democrat, of
Montana called Mr.. Nelson's order
eliminating competitive bidding for
war contracts, announced last night,
a step in the direction to aid small
business. The order, he said, was
evidence of the need for changes
in past procurement methods to
speed up war production.
Mr.. Nelson disagreed with an as
sertion by Senator Taft that small

London Declares
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 4.-The heavy
bombing attack by the r. A. F.
last night on the great Renault
plant and other industrial install
lations in the suburbs of Paris
may mean the end of Allied at
tempts to coax the Vichy govern
ment away from collaboration
with Nazi Germany, informed
British sources declared today.
Sir Archibald Sinclair, air min
lister. speaking in the House of Com
mons asserted the bombing repre-
sented no change in R. A. F. policy,
but merely in the weather, which
other sources earlier had said was
particularly clear and thus aided
the raiders In finding their targets
However. it was notable that this
was the first time the British had
risked the anger of the French by a
heavy attack on any objective near
the German-occupied French capi-
tai. In the past targets in France
have been around Lille and Douay
in the industrial north.
No Consultation With Z. S.
There was no consultation between
the British Foreign Once and the
State Department in Washington
before the r. A. F. launched the
raid. it was learned.
IA
partment has borne the brunt of
representing the Allied cause at
Vichy from the time the United
States entered the war. this was
regarded as highly significant.
1t was argued here that an at
tack on an objective so near Paris
would not have been ordered unless
the Allies were ready to risk a Ger
man propaganda campaign seeking
to turn the French against the AL
lies with stories of destruction in
working class districts and to his
toric landmarks.
Much Damage Done.
Much damage" was done, said an
Air Ministry communique in the
first Official account of the air
assault. The communiQue follows:
Last. night Royal Air Force
bomberS attacked the Renault
Works at Billancourt on the out
skirts of Paris which were known to
have been engaged in production of
war material for Germany.
THE target was clearly seen in
bright moonlight and reports indi-
cate much damage was done."
Informed sources believed the way
was cleared for the raid by last
Friday nights attack by British
parachute troops on the Nazi radio
location station at Bruneval, Just
north of LIE Havre.
They declared demolition of this
station had allowed the r. A. F.

more than 1000 injured and be-
tween 200 and $50 houses DESTROYED

ICED for the emergency.
300 Feared Dying.
One report SAID that OF about 1000
wounded in the Boulogne- Seine
and Billancourt suburbs about 300

A new air raid alarm sounded in
Paris at 1890 pm today but no
bombing was reported.
About 100 of those killed in last
nights raid were placed in an i'm
provised morgue in the Boulogne
city hall.
All the municipal services of Paris
were modified to restore lights, gas
and water to the damaged areas.
TN London, informed British
sources declared the raid may
mean the end of Allied attempts
to coax the Vichy government
away from collaboration with
Nazi Germany
Leaflets Are Dropped.
Along with the bombs, the r. A. F.
dropped leaflets addressed to the
Paris population saying they had
come to bomb factories manu-
featuring arms for "our common
enemy" and would return. now that
they knew where to strike.
AT least II towns in the suburban
belt around Paris were blasted dur

viereck Loses Plea
For Directed Verdict;
Jury 10 Get Case Soon
Morosini Is Absent
From Courtroom After
Charges Against Bench
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Justice F. Dickinson Let's de-
MED in District Court today a
defense motion for a directed
verdict of acquittal in the Ger
man propaganda trial of George
Sylvester Viereck.
Summations of counsel and the
courts charge remain before sub
mission of the case to the jury, ex-
pected sometime this afternoon.
In urging directed verdict, DAN
iel F. Cohalan, jr.. defense attorney,
contended the Government had not
proved Viereck violated any of the
provisions Of the Foreign Agents
Registration Act in statements ac-
companying his registration as a
German agent. The author and pub
llcist is charged with failing to re-
port all his propaganda activities to
the State Department.
Morosini Not Present.
Mr.. Cohalan's New York law part
ner. Emil Morosini, was not in the
courtroom. Mr.. Morosini, who did
most of the courtroom work for the
defense during the two weeks of the
trial, was barred by Justice Let's
yesterday after he charged in open
court before the jury that the pre-
siding jurist was biased in favor of
the Government and prejudiced
against this defendant"
Mr.. Morosini's outburst followed
exclusion of several lines of defense
evidence on the ground they were
irrelevant. Seated beside Mr. Coha-
Ian today was Col. o. r. Mcclure,
Washington attorney associated in
the defense
In denying the motion for a di-
rected verdict, Justice Let's said he
had considered all the points
brought up by Mr.. Cohalan, but
thought they were for the jury to
determine
Justice Let's, in barring Mr.. Moro

attorneys on both sides that Mr.
