sions are likely to be drawn thar the
problems are likely to be drawn that
the problem has been either fully
solved or given up as hopeless.

information as to progress made
would be contrary to public policy at
this time, as Chairman of the com.
mittee of the board dealing specifical-
ly with the marine menace | feel JUS
