Dear Dr. Allen;

Just a last minute message before we head East.
I intended to ask you where you will be staying in New York. I take it :
that it will be the McAlpin Hotel but I wish you would drop me a line, (

C/o Park Central Hotel, New York City, where I will arrive Thursday

morning, advising where I can get in touch with you, as Mr. Medart and :
I would like to see you some time prior to the opening of your meeting

on Monday, or at least talk to you over the telephone.

Word has reached me from New York that final details have not yet been
worked out but that it appears the demonstration of the three backstops
will be in one of the gymnasiums of the New York University. This has
not been definitely confirmed but I expect to hear within the next day
or two.

Can you tell me, Dr. Allen, who among your associates at this meeting
Will decide when the members of your Committee will agree to attend the
demonstration of the special backboards? Naturally we are anxious to
know the day and hour decided upon as quickly as possible so we can make
some plans for a scrub team to play on the demonstration boards, and
with the basketball season over, this may not be so simple a task.

Anticipating the pleasure of seeing you again next week, I am

ing, in part, as follows: "Owen Re has arranged with the

authorities at New York University for the demonstration Monday night, 4
May 1. I think you will be safe in assuming that the demonstration will

be held at that time, probably at 7 P.M.". Looks like that is the answer !
