Governor George M. Leader has called the meeting as part of his recently announced "crash program" to aid the state. Republican from Harrisburg contend that it is strictly politically inspired. Governor Leader in conjunction with his crash program has called a special cabinet meeting for Wednesday in addition to setting up the regional conferences.

But Republican leadership had an answer to the Governor's proposal of a 000 public works program to combat joblessness. "The prosperity of the past five years is ready to take another upward leap," said George I. Bloom, Republican state chairman, in a week- -end statement. In another statement, House Speaker W. Stuart Helm of Armstrong County.

said "rising unemployment a source of concern for us all. But every business forecaster predicts a strong upturn in the months ahead."
