 The last maritime tie-up has \ prevented the water move-
 ment of canned salmon to eastern markets. In our case, i've deliver a substantial IQuanity of salmon to the docks l by trucks. It has remained on |the docks for five weeks at considerable uncalculated expense; also more consump- tion is again lost. All of those conditions result in added per-, case cost.
 Steamship companies, to off set the loss incident to the tie up of their vessels, increase the freight rates. The dis tributors add this to the per- can retail price.
 In the operation of an Alaskan Salmon Cannery, there are more and more stop- pages for one cause or another. All this runs into extra expense that steps up| the per case cost.
 The rates paid for fish and labor are high; on top of this, there are a multiple of fringe" items. Combine these with inefflciency. waste, pres sure enforcing overtime, the extra expense caused by
 grass banks" tactics that hold up fish and wage settle ments until fish runs are upon us all contribute to run up the overall per-case cost. Combine all these extraneous { costs. It has now reached the point where the consummer will definitely not pay. It fol- lows just as sure as night follows day that the canneries cannot continue to operate if they are to be forced to sell the salmon below cost in or der to get rid of it.
 Beside furnishing an essential protien food, the salmon industry plays a very important part in the economic life of this section of the country.
 The welfare of a great many persons is at stake, should the Salmon canneries be forced to close down. The consummers' acceptance of the final per- can cost definitely controls whet- her the canneries can operate or cannot operate.

The Herald was led to question
Dupre when a. veteran who had
served with Dupre in the Royal
Canadian Air Force produced a

when Dupre supposedly was in
Nazi hands in France.
Dewitt Wallace, publisher of
Readers Digest, said that "obvi-
ously if what I've heard is true
we will tell the circumstances in
the magazine"
Extraordinary Hoax"
He said he thought "any re-
porter in the land" would have
accepted Dupre's story and that
he considered the case an sex
traordinary hoax"
Both Mr.. Wallace and Mr.
Reynolds emphasized that Dupre
seemed to have no desire to gel
money for his story, and was
surprised when told he would
get part of the returns. They
quoted him as saying he would
turn the money over to the Boy
Scouts.

Administration AItersIts Policy
Expand Small Business Aid

That is the principal reason
the administration now is taking
a new look at its small business
loan policy.
Senator Thye, Republican, of
Minnesota. chairman of the Sen
ate Small Business Committee,
has been one of the severeSt
critics Of the administration of
SBA. A call from him to the
White House preceded Mr..
MitchellS resignation.
Senator Thye says SBA field
Offices didn't know, and still
don't know what the policy of
the agency is. He paints a
rather chaotic picture of opera
.tions in the agency.
Representative Patman, Dem
ocrat, of Texas. ranking Demo-
crat and former chairman of the
House Small Business Committee,
says the whole set up is wrong.
He points out that Secretary
Humphrey and Secretary Weeks
have controlling votes in setting
SBA policy, and he adds the two
Cabinet officers represent big
business and are not interested
lin helping the little fellow and
never will be-"
SBA officials defend their ef-
forts by pointing out that the
agency took over lending au-
thority from the RFC only in late
September and has not had time
to get going in that operation.
Loans Are Needed.
Both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis say they have no quarrel
with the program of helping
small firms in the 'know-how
department and of encouraging
private banks to make loans.
That. they say. is all right as a
long-range program. But while
that program is being set up,
they continue, there is grave
need of Federal loans to tide over
distressed little firms.
In the field Of helping small
firms to get defense contracts,
the SBA announced that it got
$27.6 million in such awards in
August, September and October,
nearly $40 million more than it's
predecessor SDPA got in the
same time last year.
But the agency failed to point
out that in 1852, SDPA was just
getting going in the field of try
ing to persuade the Defense De-
partment to give contracts to
small firms. Also awards given
small firms in January through
help of SDPA, and before the
Eisenhower regime came in,
totaled over $32 million, or more
than SBA was able to get in the
past three months.
In any event, the small busi-
ness man may expect consider
ably more financial help from
his Uncle Sam, a reversal of the
past situation.

CGP's membership cannot be

chell received a curt, brief note
of acceptance of resignation
from President Eisenhower. A
new administrator has not been
named and the agency is being
run by Wendell Barnes, the gen.
eral counsel.
Here is some background on
the small business furore. Dur
ing the Korean war, Congress
set up the Small Defense Plants
Administration, with the respon-
sibility of helping small firms
particularly with getting defense
contracts.
The SDPA was abolished and
the Small Business Administra-
ton created in the last session
of Congress. SBA took over last
July 81 and still uses mostly the
personnel of the old organiza-
ton.
Neither SDPA, nor SBA at
first. had authority to make
loans to help small business.
That part of the job was done by
the RFC on recommendation of
SDPA and SBA. BY act of Con-
gress, the RIGS lending author
ity ended last September. The
SBA was to take over small
business loans and Congress give
it $50 million for the purpose.
Earlier Policy Relaxed.
Early efforts of the Eisenhower
administration were directed at
getting the Government out of
the loan business at all levels
and to turn the job over to
private enterprise. That was at
the time the efforts of the Treas
ury and Federal Reserve Board
were being directed toward a
tight" money and credit policy
"a policy which in recent
months has been eased consid-
erably.
The theory of Mr.. Mitchell,
and apparently of the admin
istration generally, was that the
troubles of small firms were
caused far more by a lack of
"know-how" and poor admin
istration rather than a need of
financial help. And the view
was held that where small busi-
ness needed money it should
get it from private enterprise
banks-rather than from Uncle
Sam.
So the efforts of Mr.. Mitchell
and others were directed almost
entirely to devising sort of
Point Four" program for small
business and of encouraging
private institutions to make
loans to small firms.
But the private banks didn't
come through as quickly as ex-
pected, and the anguished cries
of financially distressed small
firms began to beat on the ears
of Congress and the White
House.

Scrap Steel Market
Watched Closely as
Price Change Guide
BY the Asseeiuted Prsss

CLEVELAND. Mar. 2.-Con-
sumers are closely watching
price developments in the iron
and scrap steel markets for a
possible clue on how finished
steel prices may change, the
magazine Steel reported yester-
day.
1.-THE direction scrap prices
move now that they have been
decontrolled is seen as probably
pointing the way for steel since
scrap, historically. has been an
excellent barometer" Steel said.
Steel prices are still under
control and there has been nc
indication yet of how they will
go when controls are lifted. The
magazine said no acrosS-the-
board revisions appear likely al
though prospects for continued
demand are bright.
AS for scrap, Steel said, "for-
mer ceiling prices are holding on
steelmaking and railroad grades
with blast furnaces and cast iron
grades continuing to display
weakness.
Until representative pur-
chaSes are made by the mills, it
is thought the market will be
more or less at standstill."
So far, it was pointed out, buy
ers and sellers are awaiting con-
crete developments.
