some rights it must maintain, yet there
are some things they can generously
yield without relinquishing any of their
rights"

Mr.. Addicks addressed the chair witt
the hope that the motion would no
prevail and the committee would not b
appointed. He said the State commit

sons would add confusion to the hal
mony efforts
DR.. Burton was on his feet immediate
ly with the remark that his motion wa
: not meant to reflect on the wisdom an
! honesty of the State committee bu
made for the purpose of interesting pei
sons outside the committee organiza
