EARLY ECONOMIC RELIEF PURPOSE OF NEW GROUP| President Calls on Reserve Districts to Form Bodies for Extend- ing Credit. With the support of many leaders on both the Republican and Democratic sides of the House, Representative Erk, Republican, of Pennsylvania, today in- troduced a resolution to create a joint | committee on industrial and business | Yestoration. The resolution calls for a committee of 5¢ members, 26 to be appointed by | the president of the Senate, one mem- ber from the majority party and one from the minority party from each of the following Senate committees: Agri- culture and forestry, appropriations, banking and currency, commerce, edu- cation and labor, finance, immigration, interstate commerce, judiciary, manu- factures, mines and mining, post offices and post roads and public buildings ! &nd grounds. { The other 28 members would be ap- | pomted by the Speaker of the House, one member from the majority and one | from the minority party, from each of the corresponding House committees, and in addition the Ways and Means Committee. The life of the joint com- mittee would be only for the present session of Congress. To Seek Quick Action. ‘The Erk resolution provides that this | committee shall direct its attention solely and exclusively to the problem of | devising ways and means cf aiding and encouraging business and industry throughout the United States, of in-| creasing the employment of labor and the volume of business and of reviving the confidence of both employer and employe, with a view to reccmmending | speedily to Congress such action as the | committee deems necessary during the | present session of Congress to assure the restoration of business and industry.

By the Associated Press. FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 21.—Huge | black letters in the snow, “O and S safe.” informed Pilot Jerry Jones on a flight over the Muldrow Glacier camp of the Carpe cosmic ray expedition yesterday a long-missing member had been found. The “S” he said confirmed his belief after seeing three men at the camping ! spot that Nicholas Spadevecckia, unre- | ported for 12 days on a return by foot | through the wilderness here, had re- turned safely to his starting point. | A plane flown to the camp Thursday | by Pilot S. E. Robbins was lying on the snow, Jones added, apparently having broken an axle in attempting to take off from the rough surface of the glacier. Robbins made_the flight in an at- tempt to return Percy T. Olton, jr., who was left on the glacier when a sick member was flown out last week to Fairbanks. The “O” on the snow re- ferred to him. | Within an hour after returning here | Pilot Jones again took off, carrying with him an axle and tools, which he said he planned to drop by parachute over the Muldrow camp. The black letters were made in the snow with the use of a package of lamp | black he dropped on circling over the camp. Early in the month Allen Carpe, leader of the expedition, and Theodore Koven, a companion, lost their lives when they fell into a crevasse.

T ¢ make & Representative Erk suggests a com- prehensive program of some 20 major proposals as an outline of the sccpe of what he believes this joint committee might consider. President Hoover yesterday started a | country-wide movement to get hesitant bankers, industrialists and others to- | gether to start credit flowing once more | into constructive enterprise. ‘The program is to apply the New York Banker-Businessman Committee plan to | each Federal reserve district. The gov- ernors of the reserve banks have been | asked to step out in organizing the| groups. | When all are formed, it is Mr. Hoo- wer's intention to call the chairmen to ‘Washington so as to co-ordinate the| entire program “on a national basis.” Still Held in Banks. The situation now existing is that the Federal Reserve Board has increased enormously the cash and credit avail- able to individual banks for business ex- pansion, but little or none of this in- Vigorating money stream has moved be- yond the bank vaults. Either business men and manufacturers are unwilling to incur new obligations until future prospects are more definite, or the banks are more anxious to keep a big reserve than to extend credit. The program launched in New York | by a committee headed by Owen D Young is to find ways of getting bor- rowers and lenders together.
