By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, December 12.-Aban-
donment Of the national industrial
recovery act was recommended yes
terday by Col. Leonard p. Ayres, ma
| tionally known economist, as one of
three steps he believes will clear the
path for a return Of widespread pros
perity.
In place of the NJ r. A., Col. Ayres
| urged the enactment of new legisla-
| ton designed to restore to business
much greater freedom in profit and
price competition"
Delivering his annual survey Of the
Nations business before the Cleve-
land Chamber of Commerce, Col.
Ayres, a vice president Of the Cleve-
land Trust Co., asserted the United
States is on the Threshold of q re-
stored prosperity.
THE national opportunity available
to us for ending the depression is q
brilliant one," he said, describing it
as consisting of the immense short
ages that have accumulated during
the past five years in construction and
in durable industrial goods"
Describing durable goods as machin-
cry, equipment and other items ca
pable of long usage, Col. Ayres as
serted the present accumulated short
age of such amounts to as much as
the normal output of all the durable
goods industries for two and a half
years.
IF all that accumulated shortage
had to De made up, those industries
in order to do it would have to oper-
ate at Is per cent above their nor
NAL rates for 10 years."
