an executive committee consisting OF

faction with what is alleged to be the
loose and improper arrangements for
securing the needed accountability for
the supervision of the disbursement of
money furnished in time Of exigency

that the President of the United States

Of consultation of the American Red

ident or any member of his cabinet to
serve on such a committee. and the
President directs me to request you to
have it publicly announced that the
President and cabinet cannot so
serve" The memorial to the Presi-
dent concludes: The above cited pro-
visions of the bylaws we claim prove
that the policy of this organization
and the administration of its finances
are placed with the arbitrary power of
a single person" Legislation is asked
