Little Firms
May Survive

Washington, Sept. l9-AP -
Maury Maverick, WIPES guardian
OF small business, predicted today
that little firms will come safely
through the reconversion scramble
for civilian markets.
Maverick, chairman OF Smaller
War Plants Corporation, declared
his belief that the war Production
Boards plan for prompt removal OF
most controls when Germany falls
would release sufficient materials
to prevent big business from "gon'
bling" the supply.
Members OF Congress have voiced
fear that the announced X-day pro
gram would leave little firms crowd
ed out by their better-heeled com
petitors. Some have proposed pro-
lection in the form OF emergency
priorities' 10 help small business
houses get materials and parts.

terial for everybody" Maverick said
in an interview. THE little fellow
will come out all right IL we apply

BILE ways and means OF helping to
repatriate the thousands OF Euro
pean refugees in the United States
and other western hemisphere ma
tons.
Their plight was passed over by
the UNRRA at its first conference
almost a year ago, when the prob
lem OF the 20,000,000 people who
have been forcibly shifted around
in Europe by the Germans was q
major consideration.
The latter still are a major
worry. but the UNRRA also has
placed on it's current agenda the
matter OF displaced persons To-
Gated in territory which has never
been occupied by the enemy"
This includes all the neutral ma.
tions Of Europe and all the west
ern hemisphere from Canada to
Argentina.
Large numbers OF these refugees
left home for political reasons be-
fore the war broke and others fled
ahead OF the advancing German
armies.
Many of them still have money.
Many have found jobs in their
lands OF haven. But many will be
without funds when the war ends.
It is the job of helping these last
which the UNRRA may take on as
a new responsibility, say United

High Flying
Danger Told

High altitude flying is a serious
mission, DR.. Charles ]. Clark, flight
surgeon at the Willow Run Bomber
Plant, told Rotarians at their Mon
day noon luncheon DR.. Clark was
able to cover only two OF the i'm
portant physical problems faced In
every flight, oxygen control and
bends"
Not only must every airman be
physically fit before being assigned
to high altitude flying but his phys
ical reaction to air pressure and
bends" is carefully measured. DR..
Clark said that two out OF every
three men considered for this type
OF flying are eliminated by the test
given in pressure chambers.
These tests which reproduce on
the ground pressure and tempera-
ture conditions found at attitudes
OF $4,000 to $4,000 feet eliminate
those men who cannot function
normally at these heights.
Since atmospheric pressure Is re.
sponsible for forcing oxygen
through the lungs into the blood
stream, low pressure present at
high attitudes affects a man in the
same way as alcohol, he either gets
sleepy, dopey. stupid or boisterous,
careless, irresponsible.

too little or too much oxygen, DIR.

sure test he may still get the bends
