NATIONAL COP
 COM. ADVISED
Governor Aiken of Ver- mont Wants Purge of
 Element That Hurts

Montpelier, Vt, Dec. 6.-(UP)- Governor George D. Aiken of Ver- mont in an open letter to the Re- publican national committee has de- manded that the party be purged of tits reactionary and unfair ele- ment." He urged that the party focus its forces "on the recognition of the youth of our nation' and "prepare immediately an affirmative program" Warning that the party was in nearly complete state of demoralization," Aiken proposed a nine-point program to avert re- volt within the ranks and a possi- ble turning to a third party.
 To purget he national committee of the "baneful influence" of the southern members, he suggested that each committeeman be allotted vote equal to the proportion which the Republican vote in his state bore to the total vote in that state cast for president in the last na- tional election. This would leave Vermont and Maine the only states with full vote or more.
 Outlining a nine-point program, Aiken urged that the committee:
 1.-Accept the social aim which the opposing party has had "the wisdom to adopt but has lacked the ability to put into efficient opera tion."
 2.-Reject enormous expenditures and special benefits as a political expedient.
 3.-Invite the youth of the nation ''to work together to produce and distribute by the labor of head and hand a larger volume of goods and services for more people" instead of offering "a place at the feed trough"
 A.-Recognize both the funda- mental importance and peculiar dif- faculties of the business of agricul- ture. On crops whose prices are made in the world market, provide 8 subsidy on domestic consump- ton that is equivalent to the tariff subsidy on manufactured goods.
 5.-Restrict monopoly with mini- mum of regulation and a recognition of the difference between large and small industries and their respective abilities to bear regulatory burdens.
 6.-Coordinate into rational sys- tenn present unrelated policies of governmental borrowing, expendi- ture, employment and relief on the one hand and private employment, taxation and debt repayment on the other.
 7.-Establish a proper relation ship between government and busi- ness. "It is imperative that gov- ernment shall look upon business as the source of production, employ ment and consumption and, that pri- vate industries be fostered to this erid." Business should meet more than halfway honest overtures of an honest government.
 S.-Defend the rightful sovereignty of the states. "The shift to federal rule results in an unwise relinguish- nent of local responsibilities"
 0.--Return to congress it's legisla- tive and deliberative functions, and preserve the authority, integrity and independence of our courts"
