(AP) Repre sentatives of many thousands of America's industrial concerns heard Charles R. Hook, president of the National Association of Manufactur ers, call today for cooperation of America's common people, capitalists and government for a new and en during prosperity. His audience, the delegates to the 43rd Congress of American Industry, had assembled from throughout the nation for the three-day meeting. It will close Friday night with a ban quet of 4,000 at which Anthony Eden, former British foreign secretary will speak. Must Make Jobs "To make America go ahead," said Hook in his prepared address, "we've got to get our 9.000,000 unemployed back to work. We cannot regain prosperity until we do. That was apparent in 1933; it is equally appar ent now." The manufacturing head, who also is president of the American Rolling Mill company, urged business, labor, agriculture and government admit the "mistakes" of recent years. Hook continued: -"We should leave no doubt in the minds of the people that, for the public good, we favor regulation of certain phases of our Incentive system. We agree that as a public safeguard, government must set up certain standards designed to protect the public interest." cms lllil'IJrfl)H;l;U 0 Here's how to be warm . , without getting burnt 1 Climb into a Hanes Heavyweight Champion today.
