Candid Statement

After pointing out that the aims
of NSBMA and SBEF never seem
to conflict with the side taken by
"big business Congressman Pat.
man quotes from a message by the
President of the National Small
Business Mems association in 1948
which says: The small-business
men can be the most effective force
there is in the country for molding
public opinion. They are the back
bone of their communities. Their
ideas and their views are respect
ed. Their employees, neighbors,
suppliers and other friends will
listen to them and equally impor-
tant, their representatives in con-
gress are always glad to have their
ideas concerning the effect of any
piece, Of legislation on their bust
nesses.'
On this the House report,
comments: This seems to be
fairly candid statement of the
value OF exploiting the name
small business whether by the
association or the foundation for
the purpose of selling another
package of goods, somewhat in
nOcently entitled free enter
prlse.'"

Small Business Warned
IN WASHINGTON


THE HOUSE select committee
! named to conduct a study and
investigate the problems of small
business believes that these small
business firms should form organi-
cations or join organizations for
their mutual advantage.
In recent report of his COM
mittee. Congressman Wright Pat
man of Texas, chairman of the
house committee, said; 1T is al
together healthy in our democracy
that small business men should do
what comparable groups, such as
labor and farmers, have already
done, namely to exercise their
American right to organize them
selves"
But here Congressman Pat
man intervenes with a warning
that it is far from healthy If
these organizations purporting
to represent small business, do
not In fact do so, but have an
axe of their own to grind, may
be financed by big business"
or who are just professional
promoters trading on the natural
appeal that the term small
business" has.
Patman believes that business or
CARNATIONS supported by large pub
lie utilities, for instance, or by big
business firms. cannot serve both
masters, for the reason that often
the interests Of big and little bust
ness clash.
In this category he lists four or
CARNATIONS which advertise them
selves as representative of small
business-The National Tax Equali-
ty association, the National Asso-
ciated Businessmen, inc, National
Small Business Mems association
and the Small Business Economic
Foundation.

fiscal 1919 paid almost so million
dollars for the power they pur-
chased during the year at an aver

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May 10.
William Shakespeare penned in
his immortal Romeo and Juliet:
He that is stricken blind
cannot forget
The precious treasure of his
eyesight lost"
The great author might well
have had such a man as Richard
E. Hutcheson of Alexandria in
mind.
Mr.. Hutcheson is a 22-year- old
sophomore student at the College
of William and Mary here. Four
teen years ago. he was stricken
with mastoiditis. the dread chill
dren's disease. He remained in
a hospital year.
He lost his sight. Today. he's
totally blind. But his fellow stu
dents at Americas second oldest
college feel he sees things much
better than most folks able to
distinguish between daylight and
darkness.
Mr.. Hutcheson keeps busy. He
maintains B-plus scholastic
average. In addition. he is an ac-
tive member of Lambda Chi
Alpha fraternity. the William and
Mary Debate Council and the
Philosophy Club. He also is preSi-
dent of the Newman Club and on
the staff of the student literary
magazine.
Dances, Coaches, Sings.
He dances. too, coaches failing
athletes in English, sings with the
college choir and finds time for
an extra subject each semester.
He recently wrote the musical
score for the college varsity show.
How does a blind man accom-
