More Liberal Loon
PIun Revealed for
Small Businesses
BY the Associated Press

The Small Business Admins
tration has announced a liberal
lied lending program for very
small businesSes"-such as retail
shops, restaurants, repair shops
and dry cleaners.
Admins rator Wendell B.
Barnes said yesterday SBA will
lend up to $4,000 provided the
bank borrowers will put up at
least IS per cent of the total
loan. Interest will be not more
than 6 per cent.
The SBA, Mr.. Barnes said. will
accept the banks decision
whether the small businessman
has adequate collateral-which,
in this program, need not consist
of mort than mortgage or real
estate or personal property, a
personal Endorsement, an assign
ment of accounts receivable, or a
pledge of warehouse receipts.
simultaneously, Mr.. Barnes
said, corporations formed by
groups of small publishers" have
been made eligible for SBA pool
loans for construction or ex-
pansion Of newsprint producing
facilities.
He admitted he did not know
whether the newsprint program
was cticable or not" mas
much as an economic newsprint
mill would cost about $50 million
and SBA's legally-fixed maxi
mum loan would be $250,000
But he said SBA is willing to
explore the subject with any
group of publishers which is in
terested."

day his fight to save his $329-a-
month Federal war injury COM
pensation.
A hearing before the Veterans
Administration Central Commit
tee on Waivers and Forfeitures
was called for this afternoon to
determine whether he should be
stripped of his veterans benefits
Those benefits could be worth
more than 100000 to him in his
lifetime.
Mr.. Butcher. who lost both
legs under mortar fire in World
War II. was fired in 1913 from
his job as a file clerk in the
VAS Newark, N. j., Office. He
was charged with membership
IN the Socialist Workers Party.
listed by the Attorney General as
a SubverSive organization. He is
still fighting that case in court.
Then the VA disclosed Deem
Der % that a regional Office had
suspended Mr.. Kutcher's 1929
payments November 80. but that
the payments were being re-
stored pending an investigation.
Mr., Kutcher's attorneys,
Joseph L. Rauh, jr. and John
Slilard. demanded that today's
hearing be open to the public
and that he be allowed to con-
front his accusers.
VA officials indicated the pro-
ceedings would be open but that,
as unual in Federal loyalty-se-
curity cases. the unnamed &C
cusers would not appear to
testify.

LawSchools
Bar Expulsion

| CHICAGO, Dec. 80 (P). - A
proposal to expel any member
school that bars qualified Negro
students failed to pass today at
the annual meeting of the AS
ISOLATION of American Law
Schools.
The showdown came on a reso-
luton brought in by the COM
mittee on racial discrimination.
With a two-thirds majority of
schools represented necessary for
adoption, the tally was: SO for, A
against, and 6 abstentions.
That killed the resolution al
though it did win a simple ma
| jority of schools voting.
The resolution contained this
key passage: IF the executive
committee finds that a member
school has denied admission to
an applicant whom the school
would have regarded as qualified
for admission but for race or
color. the committee shall recon-
mend to the next annual meet
ing that the school be excluded
from the association"
Motion Approved
The schools-membership is
by schools, rather than indi-
viduals-then voted approval of
a motion from the floor by K. M.
Lewellyn of the University of
Chicago that the executive COM
mittee take care to further the
objectives" of the association in
carrying on its duties.
One of the detectives. adopted
in 1851, is equality of oppor-
tunity in legal education without
discrimination or segregation on
the ground of race or color"
The difference between that
objective and the resolution
which fell short of adoption to-
day is that the resolution pro-
vided for custer of member
schools.
( Henry Brands of the Uni
versity of North Carolina told
the delegates that Southerners
will make "a decent effort to do
what Mr.. Cavers was trying to
do, but not quite in the way he
proposed"
David F. Cavers of Harvard
was chairman of the committee
which brought in the defeated
resolution.
Report on Experiences Due
The meeting adopted another
motion from the floor instructing
the racial discrimination COM
mittee to prepare report on the
experiences in recent years OF
schools which have adopted a
policy of equality"
Dean F. D. G.. Ribble of the
University of Virginia, said he
did not OBJECT TO the purpose puC
did question the method of the
expulsion proposal.
He said the threat Of expulsion
would have little effect on trust
iees who actually run the member
colleges, and added:
This is a time of tension. We
are using our ammunition at a
time when it would be least ef-
fective."
Prof. Wex Malone of Louisiana
State University spoke for per-
Suasion rather than compulsion
and added:
IF you come to these people
tSoutherners) with threat, they
will simply arch their backs"
