Smaller Plants Corn.
Acts as Contractor
To Spread Orders
Agency Expands Rapidly
Under Leadership
Of Col. Johnson
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

The Smaller War Plants Corp
set up by Congress to help keep
small business going during the war
is acting as a contractor for the first
time, thus directly spreading orders
for essential products among the
largest feasible number Of little con-
Germs, it was learned today.
Under the dynamic leadership of
It's new chairman, Col. Robert w.
johnson, the corporation is going in
extensively for taking over contracts
from Government procurement
agencies Congress granted the
6WPC this power but it never was
used until recently.
The first such contract, it was dis
closed, was big order for furniture
and other supplies for Federal hous-
ing projects for war workers. While
the amount of the contract was not
stood to be a heavy order. This
was let shortly before Col Johnson
took Office and since then several
more prime contracts have been as
surped by the corporation. His
predecessor, Lou w. Holland, said
on "a number of occasions that he
was opposed to exercising the right
Of acting as prime contractor, but
the first contract was assumed dur
ing. the closing weeks of his admin
istrBtion.
Division Set Up.
Under Col. johnson a contract
ing division of the corporation has
been set up and is being recruited
rapidly to a staff sufficient to carry
OUT large contracts.
The Federal housing order, for
example, has been spread among
small furniture and accessory
manufacturers in Michigan, Oregon
and other States. 1t was necessary
to Ssend SWPC representatives to
vatious sections of the country to
determine facilities. But, despite
the number of subcontracts which
have been let, the furnishings are
expected to be delivered when they
are needed.
Since this contract was taken
over. number of others have been
assumed, some of them orders for
war materials. Details have not
been announced. but the value of
contracts for which the SWPC al
ready has made itself responsible
will reach large figures, 1t is under
stood, while the contract division is
expected to add new orders con-
etantly.
Lawmakers Pleased.
Members of the Senate and House
Small Business Committees, headed,
respectively, by Senator Murray.
Democrat, Of Montana and Repre-
sentative Patman, Democrat, of
Texas are known to be pleased with
the aggressive way, in which Col.
johnson has taken hold of the Gov
ernment's principal effort to save
small factories and machine shops
from the ravages of a total-war eco
from the ravages of a total-war
economy.
It should not be assumed, however,
an official concerned with the small
business problem commented. that
the only or even the chief method of
spreading war orders to small
manufacturers is for the SWPC to
act as prime contractor.
This right is being used only
when it seems the most practicable
way Of spreading the contract to a
large number of concerns.
In many instances, a big corpora
ton which has been given the prime
contract lacks the facilities to sub
contract on an extensive scale for
