By A. F. of L. News Service. Washington, D.C. A simplified and broad program of long-tercredit to small business concerns through the Reconstruction Fin' ance Corporation was urged here by the Council for Industrial Pro gress in a report to President Roosevelt and made public by George L. Berry, coordinator for Industrial Cooperation. The report was prepared by the councils Committee on Financial Aid to Small Enterprises. Based on evidence that small enterprises are responsible for slightlv more than half of existing unemployment and cannot secure adequate financial aid from private sources, the council declared the proposed program would offer a comparatively simple practical and immediate means of increasing production and purchasing power. Lack of Credit Blocks Recovery Unless such provision for credit is made, the report said, no appreciable trend in widespread recovery can be expected, because of the very important part played by small enterprise in the economic life of the Nation. Study of the subject began early in January by the councils Committee on Financial Aid to small Enterprises headed by Miles Pennybacker, secretary, National Electric Sign Association, Newark, m M. of A.

They are working in disguise. Some of them claim to bo representing one of the various deceptive forms of communist activities, although they claim that they are not communist organ- izers. At a fraction meeting in Salt Lake City last week, a man the name of Rolfe, who came from the east recently, was by sent to Carbon county where he was to do work among the WPA workers and coal miners. It is said that Rolfe's instructions are to get as many members of the U. M. W. of A. as possible to join the Workers Alliance. The inducement for this is said to be the difference in the dues. In the relief workers organization the dues would be only 10 cents a month.
