 Your communication ot October 29 concerning 2 private enterprise for the publication of roster of Connecticut troops is received.
 "The Connecticut State Council of Defense took up, at it's meeting on raise in your letter concerning such publications, and the members were very strongly of! the opinion that no aid of any kind should be given any such proposition at this time.
 "Adiutant General George M. Cole, who was present at Wednesdays meet ing, explained that it, is impossible for his. office to give --out at this time a roster which would be complete. He also explained that no complete roster could >be obtained now from any source.
 This council takes the position that any such enterpEise~as this should be discouraged unless it is officially sane toned by the state: military autEori- ties. To date no such sanction has been given any publication.
 "Tne members of tho Meriden town committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense can readily see that no such roster as is proposed could be complete and, therefore, could have no official sanction.
 '"Fhe feeling of the council that no aid of any kind should be given to any p1Eject as this applies not alone to the proposed publication concern ing whicl: you wrote to. this office, but also to any similar proposition not officially sanctioned.
