Dear Dr. Allen:

With further reference to the New York meeting, I am in re-
ceipt of a letter from Mr. H. V. Porter, per copy attached.

We have yet to hear from either Mr. Owen Reed or from our

New York office as to whether or not the New York University
gymnasium has been placed at our disposal, or any other
gymnasium for that matter, but expect some word from that end
within the next 24 hours.

The purpose of my letter to you today is to very frankly ask

you this question. If Monday night, May 1, is the date selected
by.the Secretary of your Organization for this demonstration,
would it be in order for us to invite the Coaches and others
interested in Athletics in the New York area to witness this
demonstration, or is it your opinion that the members of the
Committee would prefer that the demonstration be limited to
themselves.

Naturally, I do not want to broadcast an invitation to a large
group without knowing what is the wishes of the members of your
Organization.

I will appreciate your advising by return mail as I have to do
a lot of hurry-up work and get this in shape before next
Thursday night when I plan to leave for the East.

I am looking forward to the pleasure of seeing you again.

With kindest regards.

Cordially yours,

R.E.Weinzettel/Mc
