necessary further transfers.

"There are in our midst A few

his personal statement in the Internal

the personnel.
"Slothfulness and selfishness have
not entirely disappeared from the

IF you. as an employe Of the bu-

Robinson resolution suggesting arbi-

The resolution merely would ex-

no definite official step to set the

Approval of the resolution was

Action by the senate probably will
be sought tomorrow.
