Kiss of Death

The Government itself we'll
may be giving the kiss of death
to independent small business
through the Defense Depart
ments' program of channeling
huge amounts of funds for re-
search and development year
after year almost exclusively to
big business.
The Importance of this cam
not be overestimated. Research
has become crucial. In more and
more industries. what a corpor-
alton gets out of research decides
whether it thrives or dies.
Yet. despite the Government S
oft-repeated concern about the
trend toward concentration Of
industrial power, its own policies
are contributing to this trend.
And no one who has the facts
can deny it.
The House Small Business
Committee Of the oath Congress
has just released it's final report
on its Investigations in 1855 and
1856. Chairman Patman predicts
that If the trends of the past
five years continue, within ID
years. all manufacturing busi-
ness and most of the distribution
and service business of the Ma
ton will be controlled by cor
porations having more than 500
million Of assets"
Report is Cited
What hit me the most was a
chapter tucked far back in the
report entitled Government
Subsidies for Research and In
dustrial Advancement" for 1t
tells the following tale.
The Government currently
pays for almost two-thirds of all
research and development in the
country.
The Defense Department is by
far the biggest spender of the
funds. and it alone passes out
about SIS billion Of research
money annually to private COM
ipanies. 100000 times as great
as the Small Business Admins
tration's whole lending program,
designed to assist small business
Expansion"
Now where does the money go?
A full IS per cent of it goes to
companies employing more than
500 workers.
In the past three years, re-
search contracts totaling SAT-
billion have been awarded. OF
this. $4.6 billion. or 9S.1 per cent.
has gone to the 500 largest con-
tractors.
What are some Of the i'm
plicationS Of this? The COM
panies doing the research turn
lup not only inventions for de-
Tense but also products for civil
ian uses.

Stock Prices
Gain Slightly;
Trading Fast

NEW YORK, Feb. IL (P.-
The stock market staged a lin
tied rally from yesterdays sharp
break. leaving prices slightly
higher early this afternoon
Pivotal issues were up from
fractions to around a point.
The ticker tape fell behind
trading on two occasions today
On the rally, prices recovered
over a range of 2 points for key
stocks but as the pace slowed
some of the best gains were
trimmed.
Wall Street observers said q
technical rally" of the kind seen
today was in the cards as buyers
bought at drastically reduced
prices. But they theorized that
the market. having dropped be-
low the 1856 lows, was in for
a decline in future sessions.
InduStrialS and rails were the
chief gamers today. Utilities
were mixed with a lower tend
ency.
A proposed 2-for-l stock split
helped Virginian Railway which
was up more than 2. Chesapeake
& Ohio rose around point.
Smaller gains were scored by
New York Central. Santa Fe and
Pennsylvania. Illinois Central
was off around a point.
United States Steel, Bethle-
hem and Youngstown retained
gains of a major fraction.
Chrysler stayed ahead about a
point but General Motors eased
slightly.
Corporate bonds were slightly
lower. Banks and over-the-
counter houses which trade in
Government bonds were closed.

Traffic Records
Here Continue to
Show Improvement

The Distinct traffic safety rec
ord continued to improve during
January. the seventh consecu-
tive month in which the number
OF accidents was less than the
corresponding month the pre-
Ivious year.
Deputy Police Chief John j.
Agnew said the number of ac~
IcidentS during January was 1856
less than for January, 1856. The
District had five fatal accidents
for the month. two less than for
January, 1856.
The District had 81 fatal ac-
cidents last year, its best record.
The city also won top safety
honors for cities of its size. Dis
Itrict Commissioners earlier this
month received a congratulatory
telegram from the National
Safety Council in Chicago on
last years safety record.
In issuing its accident report
for January. the Police Depart
ment noted that its traffic safety
program was being conducted in
IA satisfactory manner" but
that constant vigilance is nec-
lessary TO maintain the safety
record.

Insurance Quiz
Reversal Asked

The American Civil Liberties
Union has asked the Commits
Isioners to reconsider their deci-
sion not to remove loyalty
questions from applications for
insurance licenses in the Dis
trict.
The union holds the questions
violate the spirit OF the con-
Istitutional guarantee OF freedom
lof association and due process
of law" and are irrelevant to
the qualifications of an insur-
ance broker or agent.
The Commissioners last month
upheld Insurance Supt. Albert F.
Jordan's right to ask the ques-
tons of applicants to become in
surance dealers.
Asked About Red Ties
The questions ask whether the
applicant has ever belonged to
the Communist Party or an or
lganization on the Attorney Gen.
erals subversive list or has re-
fused to give testimony on Con-
stitutional grounds.
The Commissioners acted af-
ter receiving a legal opinion
from Corporation Counsel Ches-
ter H. Gray. Mr.. Gray ruled,
however. that the answers alone
would not be grounds for refus-
ing a license.
In raising the issue again, the
Civil Liberties Union expressed
concern over the rise in the
licensing power OF Government
officials and said such authority
must be kept within reasonable
bounds.
Influence Job Standards
From doctors and lawyers Ia
the extreme Of yacht statesmen,
guide dog trainers and tile layers,
public officials are assuming
more and more authority in
establishing standards for pri-
vate employment" the union
said.
Certainly licensing require
ments that bear some reason
able relationship to public need
and safety are proper; for ex-
ample, that a physician or dem
fist should be qualified In his
profession. But when licensing
criteria. as in this case. exceed
the bounds OF reasonableness. 1t
is an unwarranted interference
by government in the affairs Of
private business and an intru-
sion into an individuals personal
life and beliefs"
