 The recommendation vas made ny William Philips, regional direct or for New EuGlsrd ot President Hoovers emergency committee TOT .zn-rIoyn7ar ln a speech before seF- .rsl hurared business and industrial man at the opening session ot the conference at Hotel Statler.

 Real Progress Made
 Reviewing New England's accom- rUshments in the campaign agalnst economic distress. Phillips said e,-arv state in the group had made real nrogress in this direction and that Massa achusetts had done con- spicuously we'll
 "There is in my opinion no occa- sion for alarm" Phillips said, 'tor New England IS solid and prosper ous. A situation. however. has arisen in cur midst which needs thought and guidance. It is a situation which can be alleviated by the CO., operation of such men as compose the New England council. For that matter every man and woman throughout New England who IS not particularly affected by the lack of employment can help immensely bv going about as usual. by huylng as usual and by not hiding hls money m a stocking i'll the fear that some thing dreadful is about to happen to these United States.
 In another discussion of the un- employment situation. President Redfeld Proctor of the New Eng land council observed;
 "Prosperity is somewhat relative. We have many more conTenlences. many more luXurnes. much more leisure time to enjoy them. and much more money we can and do spend daily than the people Of any other country in the world. yet We say We are experiencing hard times, DO we not appear to be admost 'enJoylng hard times as We have heard Of persons enjoying poor hcalth'?'
 Challenge to Business
 Proctor declared that present con- ditlons are a challenge to business organizations to prove their value and power"
 The part which New England should play in the progress Of the aviation industry was emphasized by Governor John H. Trumbull Of Con- necticut
 "Our New England states are be ing challenged by the aviation indus try" he said That the challenge will be accepted and the outcome victorious is a foregone conclusion, but a victory is possible only with fife wholehcarted support Of the combined six New England states. '
 Trumbull declared the New Eng land council could do much in this respect by promoting establishment of airports, both municipal and prl- Hate, and by making survey of the available facilities for the produc- ion of airplanes and airpiane equip ment
