BIG AND LITTLE BUSINESS
By DR. GEORGE S. BENSON
Director, National Education Program, Searcy, Ark.
A strategy of the Communists, wherever their
Fifth Column is at work, is to create dissention and
disunity among different groups. If they can get people
angry at someone or something, they have a more
favorable climate for their subtle disruptive propa
ganda. Disunity blocks progress and saps a nation’s
strength.
We know that in America they have agitated em
ployees against employers, race against race, and vari
ous other groups against each other In the Middle
East the Communists agitated the Arabs against the
Israeli, although just a few years ago they were on the
other side, helping the Israeli to push the Arabs out of
Palestine.
Recently we have seen efforts, in America to agi
tate dissention between small business and big business.
Regardless of who carries on this agitation, it is a form
of class warfare characteristic of that originated and
contantly whipped up by the Communists. To anyone
who takes the time to dig up the facts, the beneficial
interrelationship of small and big business in America
is undisputable.
Recently I visited the headquarters of the E. I.
Du Pont de Nemours & Co., one of the nation’s biggest
enterprises. They have compiled some data on their
own relationship with small companies. Du Pont buys
materials from 30,000 companies; and nine-tenths or
27,000 of these are small companies by any yardstick
of measurement.
Du Pont has 75,000 customers; of these 67,000 are
small companies who depend upon Du Pont for mater
Doctor Agrees
. No Bill Be Sent for
Rescue Service
BAY SHORE, N.Y., UPC-The
mediation committee of the Suf
folk County Medical Society de
cided Saturday—and Dr. Joseph
H. Kris agreed—that no bill is to
be paid by the parents of 7 year
old Benny Hooper Jr. for the
physician’s efforts in the boy’s
rescue from a well at Menorville.
After a three-hour hearing, the
committee handed down a state
ment which upheld the right of
“any doctor to render a bill” but
said Dr. Kris, who had first pre
sented a $1,500 bill to the Hoop
ers, had “determined the amount
of his charge while under the mis
taken impression that a consider
able sum of money earmarked
for medical purposes had been
received by the Hooper family.”
The committee sai$ it believes
“that if a bill has been rendered
and a family lacks money to pay
it, the bill should be adjusted
within the limits of the family’s
ability to pay.”
“In this,” it added, “Mr. Kris
agrees.
“In view of the facts estab
lished, the committee has there
fore decided and Dr. Kris, has
agreed that there will be no bill
to the Hoopers. This is in the best
tradition of medicine.”

Have Family Squabble
But Quickly Make Up
LONDON, UP—Film Director
Mike Todd and his actress wife
Elizabeth Taylor squabbled Fri
day in full view of a bunch of
press photographers. But they
quickly made up.
British newspapers gave this
version of the tiff which occurred
at the London Airport where the
couple arrived late and missed a
plane for Nice, France.
“It’s all your fault,” snapped
Liz. “You were late. Now what
shall we do?”
“Usually it’s you,” Todd re
torted. “Just for once its me all
right ... so what? I was busy.
I was telephoning.”
Todd then told Liz to keep
quiet. They’d take a plane for
Paris, he said.
“But I don’t want to go to
Paris,” said Liz.
“We go to Paris,’ Todd declared.
“I’m fed up with Paris,” said
Liz. “I don’t wanna hang around
there.” *
Later Liz cuddled up to Todd.
“Now, be a good boy,” she said.
“Do stop fussing.”
Todd then chartered a private!
plane to Nice.

ials or products which give them their livelihood. This
is a pattern of interdependency which characterizes
the American business system. It is stimulating to the
creation and operation of little businesses as well as
to the growth of those businesses whose nature dictates
expansion.
Since the end of World War 11 over 1,200.000 new
little companies have been established, all with fewer
than 100 employees. Actually 98 percent of all business
—manufacturing, trade and service establishments—
have less than 50 employees.
America’s 'biggest company is the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Co. In its Bell Laboratories, it
developed the tiny, miraculous transistor which is]
revolutionizing the science of communications a n d j
bringing great benefits to thousands cf small manufac
turers as well as to the public generally
A telephone technician recently explained the
role ahead for the tiny transistor. He said that within
a few years it would make possible a telephone net
work in America through which any person could dial
any other person in America or Canada on his home
telephone and.be talking within a few seconds.
Bell Laboratory scientists foresee in the future the
possibility of a small wrist walkie-talkie over which
you may communicate with any other person in any
part of the world, and see his face as the conversation
goes on!
Our American business system—big and little
companies working as an interrelated team—holds out
great promise for an ever brighter future, if we effec
tively resist the forces which seek to tear it down.
OUR SPUZZY LANGUAGE
We see by two papers on our desk that the English
language is paying a price for the glory of becoming
universal.
In Hong Kong, according to the Observer, a “Man
ual of Modern English Conversation” is loading the
tongues of local Chinese with such fascinating phrases
as: “The ba'bv is asnore in the cradle;” or, directed at
a wedding guest, “Why are you all spuzzed up?”
Why, indeed, is our language all spuzzed up?,
Probably to travel. The English tongue has been en- j
riched through the centuries by Britain’s conquerors i
and its conquests. And now with American influence!
spreading, the language will just have to be prepared
to go native in a dozen different ways.
“There are now 51,000,000 persons under 40 years
of age who have had one or more shots (of anti-polio
vaccine), leaving 58,000,000 without Salk protection.
The goal of the vaccination program on which the
American Medical Association, the Public Health Ser
vice and the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly- \
sis are concentrating is to see that as many as possible
of the 109,000,000 individuals under 40 in the nation'
receive at least two shots of vaccine by June 30.”
