N. E. Council Head
 On Unemployment
Pres. Harry C. Knight Urges New England to Take
 Lead in Relief Organization Work

good one. There remains the Ques- ton of organization and procedure that will bring the most effective results. In this connection 1t is to be remembered that the function of the Clifford committee will be that of suggestion and of stimulat- ing efforts. There will be subcom- mittees with various objectives and there will be additional members of these committees from New England as we'll as from else- where.
 For purposes of smooth and ef- fectiye operation 1t would seem highly desirable that in each state there should be a strong state com mittee through which community contacts and stimulation should proceed and to which representa- tives of national, regional or other state units would stand as counsel ing and assisting forces. This would bring the whole operation under clean cut Jurisdiction. It would eliminate much of waste and du- plication and would effectively di- rect the efforts of those who have been or will be called upon for service in this relation.
 of course, any plan is de- pendent for it's success upon a log ical fact-facing response from the individual community, for 1t is here that we find the ultimate test. In each state and community there is the one best way of meeting the particular conditions which prevail. Local actiity in successfully de- termining and pursuing that meth cd is the first step both in impor- tance to the community itself and in cooperation with any sound state or national program. And the time for local study and planning is now. L.
 New England should never al- low itself to be governed by mar row sectional thought. Conversely, it should always seek to be a leader of the nation in forward looking thought and action. If it Is true that New England has suffered less than the average of the country during the present de- pression it is logical that in the current emergency she should make at least a more than aver age response"

Bears Again Crash Market And Prices
 Fell To. New Lows
Losses Were From to Points-Steel Common Hit
 77N- Entire Market Hit Downward Trail

Centering their attack on such| leaders as American Telephone,| Atchison, Southern Pacific, Ameri-| can Can, United States Steel anal Eastman Kodak, which fell froml 3 to more than points, bears| quickly caused the entire list ro| move lower. Most of these issuesI sold at new lows for the bear| market, Steel Common gettingl down to 77 3-4, a loss of 3 TAI points from last night. Late in the| afternoon, General Motors wasI forced to a new record low around| the 30-levele.
 Active short covering held de-| clines in Pennsylvania, New York Central, American and Foreign| Power and Lehigh Valley to nar-| row limits.
 The decline proceeded in orderly fashion, however, and most of thsl important shares showed indica- lions of receiving scale down sup- port from large interests. At the| same time, many recent favorites suffered from liquidation. Amons| these were most of the foods andI some of the utilities such as North America, Consolidated Gas and Electric Power and Light.
 Insurance stocks on the over- the-counter market broke badly, apparently influenced by the recent sweeping declines in the prices of their investment. Sun Life Assur- ance opened at $950 bid and them broke to $650 bid, a drop of 300 points. Travellers sold off POI points in the morning trading. Bank stocks declined moderately.
 Weakness in the insurance shares caused nervousness on the stock exchange and was factor in the renewed decline. Other develop ments of the day were not of im- portance as a market factor.

Lakewood, Me, Sept. 1S.-A challenge to New England to ex- hibit leadership in unemployment relief organization commensurate with its relatively better business conditions was sounded tonight on the eve of the meeting here Of the New England council by Harry C.. Knight of New Haven, Conn, pres ident of the council mad regional representative of the presidents organization of unemployment re- lief, the Clifford committee" MT. Knight is president of the South ern New England Telephone com pany in Connecticut, and was one of the original appointees to the new relief organization.
 If it is true that New England has suffered less than the rest Of the country in the business depres- sion, it is logical that in the cur rent emergency she should make at least a more than average re- sponse," the council leader de- clared.
 The twenty-fourth quarterly meeting of the council will get un- der way here tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, with sessions also sched- uled for Friday evening and Sat urday forenoon. Unemployment and industrial rehabilitation will be major subjects of discussion.
 "The New England Council has recently shown statistically that by almost any kind of measurement New England business had. been less adversely affected than the average for the country as whole during the present depression" MT. Kngiht said. This fact brought out favorable comment on New England from within and without her borders and ith may well be a source of satisfaction to us all.
 "In common with the rest of the country New England is now un- der challenge as to how intelli- gently and how adequately it will meet its current unemployment problem. This is not pleasant subject but whether we like 1t or not we must face the fact that 1t is of immediate and grave concern. For whatever may be the trend of business actviity during the next few months the obvious probabil- ity is that the unemployment con- ditions of the coming winter will be at least quite as serious as those of a year ago.
 "The extent of preliminary ac- tivity in New England has been gratifying. The governor of each state has shown a keen interest in the situation and has participated personally in conference and for nation of plans for such state or ganization as might seem to be re- quired. State committees have either been created already or are under consideration. Messages have been sent to the presidnt coupling assurance of cooperation in the na- tional program with an expression of confidence in the ability of the state to care for tis own ~unem- ployment problems. Practically all community chest cities have conn munity financing plans under way and in many others temporary group organizations are proceeding similarly.
