SEC ECONOMIST URGES
INDUSTRY UNDERWRITING

SEEKS TO RAISE STEEL.
AUTO MATERIAL. OUTPUT
BOOST IN NATIONAL
INCOME IS GOAL
St'END-LEND PROGRAM
REGARDED AS STOP-GAP
WASHINGTON, June 24 A remark
able memorandum, suggesting that
the government underwrite a 60 per
cent Increase In steel, automobile and
building material production has
been laid on the presidents dealt
by Dr. Paul Gourrlch, chief economist
of the securities and exchange com
mission. The purpose of this revolutionary
proposal ts to raise the total national
income by one-half. Obviously, the
proposal foreshadows no Immediate
action, yet It has vast significance
aa an Indication of the current men
tal temperature of the New Deal.
Dr. Gourrlch himself 'is a high
authority, a recognized expert on
railroads, whose former employment
as Kuhn Loeb and company's econ
omist attests the respect for his
abilities In circles Infinitely distant
from Washington. That such a re
sponsible official should make such
a proposal Is Interesting enough. And
more Important still, although the
proposal la revolutionary, It Is not
so very different from other plans
now being longingly discussed at the
federal reserve board and elsewhere.
In fact, the Oourrich proposal
means two things. First, the eco
nomic thinkers of the New Deal are
Increasingly despairing of recovery.
Second, they are now all but unani
mous In recognizing the spending
lendlng program as a mere stop-gap.
and are therefore coating about for
new approaches to the economic
problem.
, The statement that spending U a
T mere stop-gap Is the point of de
parture for the Oourrich argument.
Dr. Oourrich states that a funda
mental solution to the economic
problem Is the present crying need,
and, aa such a solution, he offers
hie plan.
Banker underwriting, he says, per
mits business to expand its facilities.
Why, then, should not government
underwriting permit business to ex?
pand Its production, in periods when
confidence and demand are low?
Business will be willing to produce
more goods, and make more profits,
if the government stands .ready to
take possible losses by absorbing sur
plus goods produced. And, since the
additional production will send new
energy coursing through the entire

Is Expected to Review
Pump-Priming Campaign
NEW YORK. June 84. (AP)
A full complement of network
stations, the number will run :
close to 325. augmented by at
least seven short wave units for
world-wide transmission, will be
connected Into the White House
tonight for President Roosevelt's
fireside chat, the twelfth since
he took office In 1933.
The broadcast stations com
prise the NBC, CBS and MBS
chains. The president Is to begin
speaking at 9:30 (E. S. T.) (6:30
p. in., Pacific Coast time).
WASHINOTON, Juno 24. ;P) pres
ident Roosevelt'B "fireside chat" to
night will give the country a report
on whether a special session of
congress Is likely.
The president, asked at his press
conference whether a special session
was probable, told reporters that they
would get the anawer from hla ad
dress to the nation this evening.
The chief executive talked to the
newsmen soon after returning to the
Whlto House after a seven-day ab
sence. He already had arranged a busy
day of conferences with administra
tion officials and also was expected
to devote a considerable part of the
day to completing the radio address.
It will be broadcast over the NBC.
CBS and Mutual networks at 9:30
p. m., eastern standard time.
Twelfth Chat
The speech will be his twelfth
"fireside chat" since he took office
In 1933. It will give him his first
opportunity slnco the start of the
3.753.000.000 spendlng-lending pro
gram to discuss formally the pros
pects for early gains In business and
Industry.
He probably will review the admin
istration's "pump-prlmlng" campaign,
which got actively under way this
week with approval of several batches
of public works projects. PWA allo

he said, declaring It would permit

sions Busy Summer Ahead
Tonight's speech will mark the
beginning of a busy summer season
for Mr. Roosevelt. In the next two
weeks he Is to make four out-of-town
addresses and complete arrangements
for a politically significant Journey
across the continent to San Fran
cisco.
Meanwhile he must sign or dis
approve 175 bills which congress
passed last week. He also must com
plete the -organization of auch newly
authorized agencies aa the wage-hour
division of the labor department and
the Independent civil aeronautics
authority. '
He may make more than 30 major
appointments. The wage-hour bill
created an administrator's post which
Is yet to be filled. The aeronautics
bill, which Mr. Roosevelt signed late
yesterday, calls for a five-member
commission and an administrator,
and 20 district and circuit Judgeships
are vacant. . . .
Before leaving Hyde Park, the
president also signed measures In
creasing to 7,562 the present staff
of 6.531 naval officers and creating
a . new maritime labor board.
Other matters which undoubtedly
will claim some of Mr. Roosevelt's
attention Include the ever-present
problem of foreign affairs, the scrap
between railroad management and
labor over a wage-cut proposal, and,
the start of the anti-trust Investi
gation. WASHINGTON, June 24 yp Pres.
ldent Roosevelt summoned hla prin
