Due to the difficulties in operating
long distance inter-connection lines it
Is doubtful IL western fans will have

owning long distance receivers. will
be able to hear the Commerce head

1t is understood that the War Depart
ment will be represented by Mai Ben

There are still a few organizations
which have not yet accepted the Gov
ernment's invitation to appoint MEM
berS of the general advisory commit
tee. but the success of the meeting is
assured. and all interests will be rep-
