Thorp's testimony was part of wha: the committee has termed its "prologue," a presentation of data as to how the American economic system has functioned in the past, what the result has ben, where its w-eak spots are and why they are weak spots.

Isador Lubm. Federal Commissioner of Labor Statistics, began the "prologue" yesterday. Thorp, broad-shouldered, round-faced and smiling, stood before the committee with a school-teacher's pointer aimed at his graphs. Attendance was slim, Washington's usual committee audiences apparently preferring to pass up the dry discussion of figures and await testimony next week on the patent pool situation in the automobile industry. In addition to discussing the questions of concentration.

Thorp traced the growth of American business, stressing the high mortality rate of new small businesses throughout the years and discussing the factors that arise from time to time to disturb the orderly flow of commerce. Trust Law Shares Blame But because it is an issue that has found its way into many political speeches, and because the committee has been dubbed the "monopoly committee" although it is investigating many other phases of the American economy, the question of concentration of economic power attracted most attention. When Thorp attributed to the Sherman act itself a share in the responsibility for promoting concentrations, Arnold was quick to object. Thorp's point was that the law-forbade companies from conspiring to fix prices or take other steps affecting business in their field, but still they could merge to achieve the same result. This, he said, was a "state of law" that had been reached "through a process of interpretation." "That's not the position the antitrust division is taking," Arnold interrupted, "we make no such distinction.

I would question that statement very seriously." Jerome Frank, a Committee member representing the Securities Commission, interposed that he had "every reason to believe such advice had been given to corporations by lawyers." Arnold suggested that perhaps a "lack of enforcement" of the Sherman law had "contributed and Thorp agreed. Limitations Are Cited Throp traced the growth of the "United States business population" with a chart which showed the number of listed business concerns rising very steadilv from 1.200 000 in 1900 to a peak of 2.213.000 in 1929. dropping in 1933, rising again and reaching 2.102,000 now. Two other lines showed the number of new business enterprises which appeared and old enterprises which disappeared annually. These lines followed each other closely, crossing at times, but with the number of new enterprises generally a little larger.

Survival was a problem, he said. A study made in Poughkeepsie, N. showed that only 46.9 percent of new firms lasted more than three years, 21.4 percent 10 years and 9.7 percent 20 years. Poueh- keepsie being a "relatively stable community," ne said, he thought that other towns would show an even lower rate of survival. While the way is open for anyone to enter most lines of business, he said, there are important limitations; in some fields existing industries hold all the necessary natural resources: patent holdings are a bar in some others, in still others "conrol of outlets and domination of the market by existing concerns makes it difficult for a new enterprise to survive." In other lines, he said, a heavy cost for research and development excludes those who cannot "command capital." But on the whole, he added, there is freedom to go into business "and lose one's own or one's mother-in-law's savings." The growth of many corporations, he said, was a matter of "internal growth" through reinvestment of profits, but there have also been many mergers, particular-? at two periods from 1893 to 1902 and in the 20's.

A total of 1245 manufacturing and mining companies had been absorbed by mergers by 1929, he said. The periods in question, he continued, were periods in which "the desire to have new securities made available for flotation" was a foremost consideration, and the "promoters largely were people interested in investment banks." The practice, he continued, was to give one company a value of "two," a second a value ot "two," and merge them at a value of "five." The extra "one," he said, was sold to the public. "It was perfectly possible to put two and two together and make five," he said, because of economies "if f-'ZS -4' A sure-fire style for practically every woman.

The 11th, Representative McLean, could not -e reached as he was on a tour abroad, Seger said. Representative Fish, of New York, has indorsed Martin for minority leadership. "In pledging our votes to Martin in the party caucus," Wolfenden said, "we feel that we are supporting a man eminently equipped by background and experience to offer that type of constructive, forward-loking leadership which will express faithfully the sentiment of the millions" of Republicans throughout the country today.

"We will lead a militant and united Republicanism during the next two years in the House, the most critical point in our Constitutional system at the moment." Wolfenden said Representative Ditter, of Pennsylvania, witn whom he conferred here today, joined him in the pledge of support. OLDER Y. M. C. A.

Der Arbeitsmann, organ of the National Labor Camp Service, said: "What makes our blcod boil is the fact that right our midst there are still so-called fellow Germans who stab their own nation in the back by their attitude toward the Jewish question." it added: "We want to obtain the names of these Jew-sympathizers and mark them for future reference." High Nazi circles rejected ideas that an order forcing Jews to remain home tomorrow between noon and 8 p.

The boy was killed when he came in contact with a live wire on a pole in the playground of St. Mary's School.

Their Winter-st. home destroyed bv fire in September, Peter Augustine, 66, and Mary Augustine, 53. are now living with neighbors, their future an uncertainty. Priceless Relics Forbidden by centuries-old tradition of their people to part with the heirlooms, reputed to be worth thousands of dollars, the brother and sister clung desperately to an' ancient silver crown and a similarlv old CALLING ALL DOGS! By Albert Payson Terhun "On Relief" A year or so ago much indignation exploded everywhere when several cities decided that persons on relief must not keep dogs.

The dogs ate food such as it was and food cost money; and people who were on relief had no right to spend the municipal cash on such luxuries. That was the civic argument and it was resented everywhere. This, whether it was justifiable and logical or an act of oppression. It remained for Canada to solve the dog problem in a merciful way, for the unemployed. Last Spring the Toronto City Council ordained that each family on relief should be permitted xo keep one dog, and that no license fee should be charged for the animal.

Said Alderman Percy Quinn. in T.leading for the passage of this kindly ordinance: "The unemployed love their dogs as much as more prosperous people love theirs." In other words. Toronto decided that, because a man happened to be out of a job he need not get rid of the dog which was his family's guard and comrade. On the other hand, Toronto went on record, thus, as opposing the maintenance of a whole pack of hungry dogs by any penniless and workless family. To my mind, this is mercy and sanity combined.

Thorp said, there was a high degree of competition between some industries. He mentioned types of transportation, types of textiles. Turning to factors which are "disturbing" influences, he spoke of patents and inventions or "the continual impact of technology, which builds new industries, destroys oid industries and changes processes." War and threats of war are another such factor, he said, referring to a chart which showed that the greatest fluctuations in the American price level were in 1815, 1863 and at the time of the World War.
