number of delegates who would at
tend the convention, and to report
within four weeks.

July 81, this committee on accom-.
modaticns reported that accommoda-
tons could be secured for probably
200 delegates. However it seemed
advisable that there be no oyer-crowd-
ing, and it was decided to place the
number of delegates at 175. this num-
Der to be apportioned among the yari-
Gus bodies represented.

and most efficient method of handling

sub-committees together, and to call
