Senator Murray Asks
Action on Bill 10
Aid Small Businesses
Committee Plan Would
Help Obtain CopitoI
And War Contracts
Ry the AssociAted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Murray OF the Sen
ate Small Business Committee
asked the Senate today for
prompt enactment Of pending
legislation to help small busi-
nesss obtain capital and war con-
tracts, asserting that "the small
businessman Is the forgotten
man of this critical hour"
Senator Murray took the floor
when the Senate began considera-
tion of the measure, which was in
troduced by the committee after .
special study.
Would Lend Money and Facilities.
The bill would provide for a spe-
cial deputy to the chairman OF the
War Production Board to guard the
interests of small business and would
create a 100000, 900 Smaller War
Plants Corp. within the w. P. B.
This corporation would be en-
powered to act as a prime defense
contractor and to let subcontracts

loans OF money and facilities to
small plants for conversion to war
production.
THE morale of these thousands OF
small business people" Senator Muir
ray said, "is at the lowest ebb In the
history Of our country. You cannot
blame them for being bitter when.
on the one hand, they see billions OF
dollars being spent for big business
institutions, while, on the other
hand, they are being forced to close
their doors.
Needless Sacrifices Opposed.
"The small businessmen of our
country at this critical moment are
deserving of very special attention
at our hands. Like the soldiers on
the battlefields, theirs are the lives
at stake. Thousands Of them are
losing the work of q lifetime.
They are ready to be sacrificed II
necessary-but again. like soldiers
who have lost confidence In their
commander, they are bitter because
they feel they are being needlessly
sacrificed"

Defiant
Bachelor
Easily Led
By HELEN ROWLAND

A BACHELOR is a large body
OF self-complacency completely
surrounded by habits, fortified
on all sides by vigilance and dis
erection, and sometimes guarded
by a sentry-mother or sister.
His chief products are wild
oats and banana oil; his chief
industry. understanding other
mems wives: and his favorite
sport, pursuing girls without
letting them catch him. Isolation
is his undertaking policy. and his
slogan is, give me liberty-or
else!
THE AVERAGE bachelor is
an altruist who refrains from
wasting all his devotion on any
one girl and prefers TO scatter
his sweetness and light among
the many. There is seldom a
Forgotten Woman in his life.
The care with which a bache-
Tor chaperones himself would
make a top sergeant envious.
He is so leary OF skidding into
matrimony that he sprinkles the
path of love with cinders. AS a
safety-frst precaution he makes
a habit of keeping several girls
on the string, in order TO avoid
getting tied up with any one
girl.
YET THERE is nothing quite
so intriguing TO a bachelor as
dreaming Of neutrality-suspicious.
cally. He just loves 10 sit in
front OF an open fire, with his
fingers crossed. and consider
marrying-in the abstract.
These days men are divided
into two classes-soldiers and
civilians; but to the average girl
they will always be divided into
husbands and bachelors. There
are three types Of the latter; the
kind that is easily led into mat
rimony; the kind that must be
blifrdfolded and backed into the
shafts, and the kind that can
never be broken to harness.
BUT DON'T be deceived. The
coekiest and most defiant-are
the most easily led. AS long as
a man laughs and says cynically,
mo woman can get mel! there
is hope. He is-like the small
boy who whistles in the dark.
But when he is so sure Of his
immunity that he grows senti-
mental and practically hands a
girl a rope and dares her 10
catch, he is confirmed bache-
lor!
WHEN ONE Of these actually
capitulates and asks a girl 10
marry him, she has a sublime
revelation of self-sacrifice that
deserves at least a citation for
bravery.
Unless, OF course. he Is one
OF those professional bachelors
who fought so long and so hard
TO escape that there is no fight
left in him. And then he makes
the best of husbands.

Keldin turned a deaf ear to ali

nothing of the cOaX-me-again atti-

run for Mayor Of Baltimore and did
not desire to endanger his prestige
by probable beating in November
But equally important was the fact
the Republicans had no visible
signs of cash to support him.
But quite suddenly things chang
ed and the COP leaders were able
to show him undreamed of inan-
cial support. In order to prove
that their financial pledges were
not empty promises, they are re-
ported to have been willing to
guarantee McKeldin a virtual
"fee" on practically a per diem ba-
sis. This bowled him over
Now, authentic grapevine gos-
sip is that one of the "angels" to
the party is none other than lawy-

O'Conor's scalp at all costs. 1t
was O'Conor's brilliant handling of
the famous Norris murder case

which caused Wolf serious embar-

Some weeks ago Casey went to

Fought All Reforms
Pettengill, of Indiana, is best
remembered at the Capitol for his
fight against the enactment of the
holding companies bill which end
ed the pyramiding of super cor

the New Deal enactments, particu-

domination Of the big corporations
over labor conditions.
After a while Pettengill saw the
handwriting on the wall and took
himself out of the political picture
and a Republican was elected in
his place.
Then he reverted to his original
incarnation corporation lawyer
and spokesman for the interests.
He became the head of the Com
