Administration Would Finance Small Business Securities and Exchange Commission Believe Plan Would Provide Credit for Expansion. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (UP) High administration officials were known today to be supporters of a plan that would allow the govern ment to finance small business loans. Chairman William O. Douglas of the securities and exchange commis sion and Chairman Mariner S. Kccles of the fed?ral reserve board believe that such a plan will meet the com plaints of small business men who have complained that banks are re luctant to provide credit for expan sion. This problem will be discussed at next Wednesday's meeting of "little business" with commerce department officials. The "little business men" will travel to Washington at their own expense commerce department offi cials said. Asked whether govern ment funds were available to pay for expenses Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper told his press con ference that he had received no spec ial authorization on appropriations congress." It also appeared that financing of "little business" is a larger part of the new deal's second recovery program now taking place. The new recovery plan does not involve the heavy expenditure of public funds but rather is designated to stimulate private opportunity. The highlights of the administra tion's business aid program are: 1. Creation of permanent facil ities for financing small business. 2. Revision of the undistributed corporate profits and the capital gains-and-lcsses taxes which busi ness claims are burdensome and bar riers to recovery. 3. Creation of the U. S. housing authority to facilitate slum clearance and liberalization of the market poli cies of the federal housing adminis tration to stimulate construction.

The relief total at the end of last week was less than 100,000 under the peak predicted by Administrator Harry Hopkins last fall when he is sued orders the 350,000 persons be taken on as soon as possible. Relief officials say that 1.925.0U0 is the approximate raaiinium who can be cared for under existing appropria tions.
