Rcnegouauon IS done on an

generally believed Only one fed

For example a firm having con-
tracts with army ordnance, air

would be renegotiated on an
overall basis by aircraft-it the
bulk of It's contracts were with
the air corps.
An army representative tells
me that most companies actu-
ally prefer to renegotiate their
contracts ahead each quarter
thus avoiding the stigma OF re-
capture and yet giving the gov
eminent the benefit OF any saw

that II is the accepted Gus

An Act OF Folly

Rep. Sol Bloom Of New York, a
successful businessman for many
years, said today that speaking as
a merchant he believed any policy
of government that would drive
established trade marks out Of the
market would be an irreparable
act of folly that would be destruc-
tive of all the ideals of American
business.
1t was inconceivable. he said
that any agency of the govern
ment would seek 10 supplant
established trade names with
names with standard government
brands or by unbranded goods.
Rep. Wright Patman of Texas.

on small business. which has Just
been continued for the present

names and regulations.
