After the petition had been read the Board entered into a discussion on the merits of it and it was the general opinion that the Board should not name the committee as proposed by the petition but that it should write letters to the. various organizations stating what the peti tion said and asking them to name i five members on the committee, the members to be not more than one organization. Messrs. Phillips and Davis were appointed a committee to draft these letters.

It was the opinion of the members of the Board that they should not I take the initiative in the matter but i if the committee were appointed they would confer with them and help them in any way they could. They did not, however, think that it would be good policy for them to name the members of the committee them- eelves.
