Dear Phog: Congratulations on your successful debut in politics, which was duly heralded in the press. From time to time we have been receiving inquiries from sporting goods dealers all over the country for information concerning game strategy boards etc. for basketball and foot- ball. I've been referring most of the inquiries to you, as I understand you put out some sort of a basketball strategy board and that Vic Hurt has some football board. I would ap- preciate it if you would tell me what the situation is on these boards so as not to burden you with unnecessary in- quiries from dealers in the future. Noted that you didn't have your usual hot ball club this winter, but a lot of others were in the same boat. Trust that when conditions get a bit more normal that you will again be dealing the boys a lot of headaches. If you ever get over here look me Upe Sincerely, Arthur F, Hughes AFH srr FISHERMENS WEE
