Geneva's landing field has and
needs only one runway because
the wind direction seldom varies

But the canny Swiss are not

The east end of Geneva'S sin
Gle runway rests right on the
French border. The concrete
strip can be extended only in
one direction-EaSt.
Negotiations have been under
way with France to make a
transaction which in it's final
form will give Switzerland more
than 100 acres of French land
and nudge the border around to
permit an eventual runway
length in excess of 1000 feet.
In return France gets a chunk

publicans and the Democrats
about helping the small business
man, ard since Congress con-
vened a lot more pious words
have been said. The bright hopes
of speedy action are dimming
though.
President Eisenhower is on
record with a pledge of tax relief
to small corporations. But the
Treasury is arguing it can't af-
ford to lose any revenue. In Con-
gress, Democratic leaders are
quarreling about how the relief
should be granted and Republic
cans are dragging their feet.
That small business should be

longed period of unparalleled
prosperity in history is terribly

Hedging Seen
In Auto Firms
Steel Orders

! CLEVELAND. Jan. 81 (R.-
Automobile manufacturers are
hedging on steel orders. and that
makes the steel industry a bill

are not confirming orders as
rapidly as had been expected
Some steel men say car output

level of 6.5 to 6.8 million, Steel
said.
The publication said caution
extends to ingot production
and 1857 may fall short of 100
million tons. which would be
about 80 per cent of capacity.
However, the magazine said
first quarter auto production was
higher than in 1856, and ingot
production last week was 98.5
per cent of capacity for the
second consecutive week.
The publications base price
composite on finished steel re-
manned at $l37.98 a net ton. un-

The softening of dema n d,
mostly caused by the auto max
ers. has not affected users of

Every week this year, between
$40 and $50 business firms will
fail-and most of them will be
small companies. Most of the
bankruptcies will wipe out the
owners and their families.
BY the end of 1857 about 13, 900
bushes firms will have died.
This will be a year of crisis
for small business and the crisis
is likely to get worse.
This is the grim picture at a
time when the chief concern of
the administration and the Fed
leral Reserve Board is that the
overall economy will become too
I"exuberant. This is the situa-
ton at time when the Presi-
dent is emphasizing that pros

Simply making a conservative
projection of the statistics on
business failures released each
week by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
Already, 1857 has exceeded the
same periods of 1856. 1855 as
far as business bankruptcies go
The average is about 240 a week
Against 222 in 1856 and 1879 in
1855. And while the failures are
concentrated in retailing, small
manufacturing and homebuild-
ing. the casualties cross all in
dustry and trade groups. crop up
in all areas Of the country.
It's a certainty that the plight
of the small business man will
intensify-unless the admins
tration and Congress act quickly
and boldly to give small business
essential relief.
Competition in every line OF
industry and commerce is get
ting fiercer. Big companies arc
merging with big companies;
medium size firms are merging
with medium-size firms. The
small independent in retailing
whclesaling and manufacturing
is at an increasing disadvantage
