Senate Unit Clears
Two Market Bills
District Group
OKs Measure
On Teacher Pay

The Senate District Com.
mittee today cleared the way
for Congressional passage Of
two Southwest redevelopment
bills and legislation to increase
teachers retirement pay.
All three measures have been
passed by the House.
In a hurry-up session, the
committee reported out bills
that would:
/. Allow the District Com.
mlsSloners to raze the Munich.
pal Fish and Farmers Markets
along the Washington Channel
to free land for the Southwest
freeway and the Washington
Channel crossing.
2. Require the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency to give bust.
neSSmen displaced by redevel.
opment priority aid in relocat-
ing.
3. Raise by 10 per cent an
nulties to teachers who retired
before October /, 1856. Sur.
vivorS of such persons also
would get a 10 per cent in
crease, providing the increase
did not exceed $3.50 per re-
cipient.
Floor Action Wednesday
Senate District COMMITTEES
Chairman Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, said he expected re-
ports to be filed by his unit
tomorrow and held out hope for
floor action by Wednesday.
Barring unexpected Develop
ments, today's meeting will be
the last of the session for the
Senate committee, according to
Chairman Bible.
Committeeman acted on the
Southwest redevelopment pro-
poSal at the urgent request Of
the District Commissioners.
Construction schedules of the
Highway Department for the
freeway call for a beginning on
work in the market area Feb
ruary is, 1859.
The city owns the land on
Maine avenue between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, site of the
two markets.
Regulates Its Use
But Congress regulates its
use. With this permissive leg
islation. city heads would be-
gin demolishing the markets
next year.
They used an economic study
prepared by Frederick M. Bah.
cock & Co. to bolster their posi-.
ton that the markets had out.
lived their usefulness.
At first, occupants were mainly
farmers and fishermen who
brought their produce straight
from their farms and boats.
Now, commercial middlemen
have replaced the farmers
almost entirely. OF the %
stalls in the fish market, I3
are occupied by retail and
wholesale sea food dealers. The
remainder are occupied by res
taurants, committee members
pointed out.
The old fish whalf itself
would continue to be used dur
ing freeway and channel con.
struction.
Follow House Stand
Senate committeeman fol.
lowed the lead of the House
District Committee in refusing
to write into the bill any spe-
ciflc guarantee that businesses
ordered out of the markets
would be promised new quar-
tiers. On that point, the House
committee said:
I'VE were convinced :. . that
a sincere desire existed to take
every possible step to provide
temporary and permanent loca-
tons for businesses which might
be displaced by this legislation.
"The committee feels that
this objective can be best OBJ
tanned if a spirit of co-opera-
ton is manifested between the
Redevelopment Land Agency,
the Commissioners of the Dis
trict and the tenants who might
be involved"
If such cooperation is not
forthcoming. the committee
said it would consider legisla.
ton to assure it next session.

A press conference with three
young Russian visitors today
erupted into a free-swinging
debate of the cold war.
The Russians, guests of the
Quaker Young Friends, demon
strated that whiel old commits
Sars may die, their arguments
never fade away. a
They also revealed that there
is about as much similarity be-
tween American and Russian
concepts of "truth" and free
dom" as there is between the
chemiSe and bikini.
Asked if they favor complete
freedom in exchange of infor-
nation between the United
States and Soviet Union, they
replied that they most certainly
do.

Four Conclusions


1t contains four conclusions
and two recommendations.
Recommendations are:
/. That the Commissioners
study the sightseeing situation
and draw up regulations, if they
believe any are necessary, to
control monopolistic practices.
Among contracts to be an
alyzed by city heads should be
those of the Gray Line with
local hotels, according to the
report.
2. That the Commissioners
seek legislation if they think
laws rather than regulations
will cure sightseeing problems.
The conclusions are:
l. Both the Fedesal and
District governments beas re-
sponSibility for protecting small
businessmen.
2. Small businessmen are
entitled to keep their COMPETE
tive positions.
3. The Commissioners have
ample authority to establish
and regulate sightseeing rates
to protect small operators.
4. The Patman Committee
should stop developing facts on
matters now pending before
regulatory agencies. This was
a slap at Chairman Patman
for spotlighting operating prac-
tees of Transit President
Chalk at the same time he has
pending before the Public Util-
tiles Commission fare and rate
raise questions related to those
practices.
Besides his individual report,
Chairman Patman has intro
duced legislation to bar use of
AMY D. c. Transit equipment
or personnel for charter, sight
seeing or helicopter operations.
Both the bill and the fuss be-
tween Representatives Patman
and Multer stemmed from hear
ings last month on D. c. Tran
sits role in local sightseeing.

Continues Boycott

Chairman Patman continued
to boycott meetings of rebel
committeeman, who approved
the alternate report sponsored
by Representative Multer,
Democrat of New York.
Mr.. Multer said the majority
report would be filed with the
House as an official document,
Mr.. Patman'S report was not
so filed. The majority has
made the Patman report merely
a summary of one individuals
views, Mr.. Multer insisted.
Voting for the Multer SUBJ
stitute besides it's author were
Representative Yates, Demo-
crat of Illinois; and the six Re-
publicanS on the committee,
Hill of Colorado; Riehlman of
New York; ly-Brown, jr., of
Connecticut; McCulloch of
Ohio; Sheehan of Illinois, and
Moore, jr., of West Virginia.
They are due to meet again
at $50 am. tomorrow to wind
up committee business in the
fourth meeting branded by
Chairman Patman as a trump
session" The full Multer re-
port is to be released after this
meeting.

BY GRACE BASSETT

A majority of the House
Small Business Subcommittee
has approved unanimously a
report charging the District
Commissioners, rather than
Congress, with the RESPONSE
bility for regulating local sight
seeing businesses.
The report also suggests that
Gray Line as we'll as D. G.
Transit System be investigated
for possible monopolistic prac-
tees.
This action, in effect, rejects
an earlier report issued by
Committee Chairman Patman,
Democrat of Texas. Mr.. Pat
man accused D. C. Transit
President o. Roy Chalk of
funneling transit profits into
sightseeing enterprises. This
was helping to drive more than
100 sightseeing competitors, in

ness, Representative Patman
claimed.

Midwest Business Exhibit
Opportunity Presented For
Small Montana manufacturers

Small manufacturers in Montana viii
have an excellent opportunity to investi
gate contract opportunities from govern
ment agencies and large corporations a
the Midwest Business Opportunities Ex
hibit in St. Paul, Mimi, October 1917
1858, Perry F. Roys has announced
RoyS is Montana Co-ordinator for the
Exhibit
Sponsored by the State Planning Board
and state industrial development agencies
in Iowa, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Wisconsin, the Exhibit is a
major effort to obtain more subcon-
tract activity for this region
Over 1000 exhibitors are expected
to take part, Roys said, including all
agencies of the U. S. Department of
Defense, and such prime contractors as
Martin, Douglas, Chrysler and Mime
apolisHoneywell.
Montana's participation in the Ex-
hibit has a three-fold objective:
1. To SHOW major cOntractOrs-pur-
chasing agents of government and or
large cOrpOratiOns-the production
capabilities of small Montana manu-
facturers, such as machine shops and
foundrieS.
2. To display items offering subcOn-
tract opportunities for small businesses.
3. To advertise plant site locations
i'm Montana communities.
Thus, the Exhibit will bring prime
contractors together with potential Mon
tana Subcontractors to exchange oppor-
tunitieS for their mutual benefit. Since
firms contemplating new plant sites will
also be in attendance, Montana indus
trial development groups (such as Cham
bers of Commerce) should also have
booths, Roy said.
Thus, he continued, exhibitors will be
of four types. First are Federal agencies
such items as missile and
electronic components-items they pur
chase from small firms. Second will be
the governments principal prime con-
tractorS-they will be showing proSpec-
tive Subcontractors what they want to
BUY. Third will be small manufacturers
themselves who will display what they

,Riqht-fo-Work' Goes
To Court In Idaho

Idaho's labor movement filed suit
last week to keep the misnamed
''Right-to-W Work" proposal off the
ballot in November.
Attorney George Greenleaf, repre-
senting the United Labor Committee
of Idaho, told an Ada county (Boise)
court that the states so-called Fright
to-Work' Committee failed to sub
nit the required 23,8OO valid sigma
lures needed to give the compulsory
open shop question a place on the
ballot.
The anti-union committee has
claimed that it's petitions contained
more than $4,000 signatures. Green
leaf, however, told the court that
more than 1900 signatures were
those of persons not registered to
vote. Some 5000 more who signed,
he said, failed to list their full add
resses as required by law.

dustry by promoting their advantages
for industrial location.
The State Planning Board is co-ordi-
mating Montana's participation in the
Exhibit with the cooperation of the
Montana Chamber of Commerce and
other interested groups, Roys stated.
'The Exhibit is similar to those held
earlier this year in West Virginia and
Connecticut" he continued. 'The latter
resulted in an increase of over $22,-
100000 in Subcontracts for New Eng
land The Upper Midwest-eSpecially
Montana now has a chance to increase
its level of Subcontracting in the same
way"
All inquiries about the Exhibit should
be directed to the State Planning Board,

ena Osteopathic physician and cochair-
man of the Montana OSteopathic ASSo-
ciation'S Committee for Public Education

Senator Murray for further information
pertaining to the physician shortage in
Montana.
Senator Murray recently released fig
ureS showing that Montana has 90 physi-
clans for each 100000 residents, ranking
37th in the nation in this respect. Murray
also stated that Montana is one of the
IL states not licensing foreign-trained
physicians.
DR.. Wheaton said that he has asked
Senator Murray to list the states which,
along with Montana, prohibit foreign
doctors from practicing.
Montana is one of only states today
in which the practice of qualified osteo-
pathic physicians is unduly restricted by
outmoded laws DR.. Wheaton said
The others, according to Wheaton,
are Mississippi, Maryland and North
Carolina

whether these are among the states at

sets of the company subordinate to

purchase these securities upon proper
notice at any date when interest be-
came due. The securities would con-
stitute a legal investment for ma
tional or state banks, which are men,
bers of the Federal Reserve System.
Money is advanced to small COM
panies through the purchase by the
SBI Co. of convertible debentures''
of the small business concern. These
would be interest bearing, but could
be converted into stock of the small
company at price based upon the
"sound book value" of the stock de-
termined at the time the Convert
ible Debentures" were sold to the
SBI Co.
At the same time the company re-
ceiving funds from the SBI Co. would
purchase stock of the SBI Co. in an
amount between 29o and $50 of the
funds received. But the SBI Co. could
invest in any single small business
concern not more than 20%o of its
own capital and surplus.
The SBI Co. could also make loans
to the small business firm, and would
have first option on making further
loans, if more capital were required.
The new legislation also makes pro-
vision for advancing funds on differ
ent terms to state chartered invest
ment companies and state and local

$27 MILLION FOR RESEARCH

A Provision of the act is that $27.5
million now held in a special account
by the Federal Reserve System for
the financing of small business enter
prises is to be transferred to the SBA.
1t would be used for grants from the
SBA to colleges and universities or
state agencies for research and coun-
selling in the small business field,
although not more than one institu-
tion in each state may receive such
grants. These will be limited to $40
900 for each grant in one year. This
fund should provide the basis for
studying and improving operations
under the new law.
No one who has studied intensively
the problems of small business be-
lieves that adequate financing is its
only problem. The ever present crush
ing competition of monopolistic busi-
ness will remain the most difficult
problem of many small businessmen,
but not all of them, and the new law
provides what to many is desperate
need.
The men to whom this money will
become available should have demon
high ability. Such man
might be the owner of small bust
ness desiring to expand, or the sal
aried manager of a successful busi-
ness desiring to open shop of his
own. He might be an inventor asso-
ciated with an experienced business
Or he might be miner
with valuable mineral deposit need
ed by defense industry.
CALLS FOR IMAGINATION
The success or failure of this en-
5erprise depends, of course, upon the
yigor and intelligence with which it
S operated. 1t will require daring,
ldgment, and willingness to risk the
Judgment, and willingness to risk the
Small Business Administration, and |

1t will not save a large part of
mall business, unless Congress pro-
ects it from the impact of Big Busi-
ess; and until there is some reform
7hich limits the extent to which Big

ongressmen, such protection may
OF be achieved.
