The suggestion was laid over and was
mere fully discussed in executive ses-
sion this afternoon.
Mr.. Fruddens also, advocated a change
IL the financial policy, suggesting that
all contributions, to allied organizations
and their bureaus be suspended, and the
funds Of the association applied to it's
own use. It is not considered probable
that either Of the policies will be
adopted. f.5 -
