AMERICAN FEAR IS
SHARPLY CRITICIZED
in 10-P0INT PLAN
Hoover Committee Says I'm
proven1ent Delayed BY Lack
Of Confidence

Washington, Oct. 29.-(P)-Sharply
criticising some classes of Americans
for their fear of financial loss, the
planning committee Of President
Hoover's unemployment relief organ
:zation has outlined a ten-point pro-
gram to better the domestic situation.
The committee declares that while
it may be true normal good business
must await removal of adverse world
conditions, 1T Is certain We delay
recovery by passively accepting our
relation to the International situa-
tion and in failing to make con-
csrted determined effort to correct
domestic conditions"
Headed by Harry A. Wheeler OF
Chicago, it presented the program to
Chairman Clifford late Wednesday.
The report urges resumption of
normal buying by persons who have
jobs and rebukes those uneasy in
dividuals who hide away money
which might be mixing freely in
trade channels.
Its findings are commended to the
country by Clifford as requiring "im-
mediate and thoughtful consideration
of all individuals and organizations
to the end that so far as possible
they may be promptly translated in
to action"
He cites the committee as an an
swer to the insistent demand for
appointment Of an economic council
to determine what could be done to
improve business.
White Collar Help
Where husbands are making a
living, the committee recommends
that employment of wives be looked
into. 1t also urges immediate action
to give needy white collar" workers
part time employment, at least.
The Wheeler report completes the
third major phase of the Clifford or
ganization. Previous reports dealt
| with mobilization of community re-
lief funds and coordination of region
al plans for administering aid.
The program in the Wheeler report
follows:
| United national action to encour-
age every American citizen now en-
ployed to resume normal buying-to
use available income to purchase
goods normally needed and in the re-
placement of which labor is employed
lis condition precedent to any
hopeful program to constructiyely in
crease employment; continued and
further restriction of consumption of
goods and of expenditures for i'm
provements and requirements newt
ably will offset any and every effort
for emergency relief.
"Public confidence in our financial
and credit structures must be reestab-
lisled. Withdrawal of money from
circulation for boarding seriously re-
stricts and operates to delay bushes;
recovery. The creation of the ma
tional credit corporation and suct
further agences, either public or pri.
vate. heretofore suggested by the
president to insure further and moro
certain fluidity of banking resources
will bring ready response in increased
activity in productive and distributive
forces OF the country.
Banks Should Be Liberal
TN addition to expansion of basic
credit facilities, including those al
ready instituted by the president
bankers Of the United States may
make their effective contribution tt
the national program for resumed
normal activities through assuming
as liberal and encouraging an attitude
as possible toward the credit require.
ments of their average customer.
"The spreading of available work ir
industrial commercial. and profes'
sional enterprises still is the mos
fruitful field for immediate unem.

"The committee urges that nothing
