Mr.. Miligan-"Mr. President the Board
has refused to adopt the report of the
committee as a whole. Does not that mean
that we are working under the old rules?"
The Chair-"That's about the size of it."
The size of it, is that the Board

quence and any amount OF gray matter.

able discussion, however, for many men,
bers, as it gave them opportunities for
