Deuhisr at Adams Big Business vs. Little Business? WASHINGTON Far from being antagonistic as some per sons believe, big business and small business actually need each other, according to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States an organization which represents both. There is even a tendency tor big business to create small businesses, says the. Chamber. Many big establishments are primary assemblers of the countless products of small con cerns. For example, more than half the total proceeds for sales of one of the "big three" auto makers last year went to some 21,000 independent suppliers, most of them small. A major electrical goods manufacturer has over 33,000 suppliers and subcontractors, many of whom, in turn, depend upon still other subsuppliers. The same situation holds for many other large concerns in a very real sense they are cre ators of business for the little fellows, the Chamber points out. This being so, there seems to be little basis for the belief that" the days of little business are numbered. Rather, says the Chamber, the outiook is for its continued and prosperous ex istence. NEW HOMES Housing studies indicate that the nation needs about 1,500,000 new homes each year for the next five years in order to catch up with the demand, the Cham be of Commerce of the United States reports. RUSSIAN "SEGREATION" When a sign, "Colored For Rent'' went up on a Washington apartment house, employes of the Soviet Embassy in Washing ton began moving out. Of the total of thirteen Russian fam ilies living in the- apartment, eleven moved out before July 1st and two others had given notice of .intention Vto move. , - J - - Up ... up . .
