to all department and institution

with respect TO the filling OF

"Full consideration will be given
to the recommendations OF the
department heads and every effort
will be made to assure the con-

oil state services. We are sure,
however, that you will realize that
the easiest way TO effect econ

Is to re-examine the need for
