Dear Bud:

I have just this afternoon received the information
from the military coordinator here at the University that
the Omaha authorities heve turned dow the orders on all
the gym equipment for the ASTP students, with the exception
at tes an oot, They think the prices are too high.

I thought it advisable to let you lnow at the sarliest
possible moment so that you can release the T shirts and the

supporters that you were holding on this order.

ily purpose wes to cooperate with the University author-
ities in getting the carliest possible delivery on this
equipment. I am sorry the order did not go through, but I
believe we did everything we possibly coulde

Very sincerely yours,

Direotor of Physical Education,
