But there were several warnings that small businessmen will have to suffer for a while until the defense production controls program gets underway. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D., Minn., said “things will get worse before they get better” for the small businessman. Sen. John J. Sparkman, D., Ala., said there must be “an orderly and equitable allocation of available supplies” so that small business will get its share. Sparkman is chair man of the Senate Small Business Committee, which is looking into the problem. Elsewhere in Gongress: Draft Congressional opposition to drafting 18-year-olds mounted as the national military leaders plead ed for the necessary legislation. Defense Secretary George C. Mar shall promised that no 18-year-old will be sent overseas except in a "dire emergency,” but Congressmen reported that their mail from back home was overwhelmingly against lowering the draft age. A com promise appeared likely, appeared likely.
