Dear Phog:

Replying to a couple of your letters, wish to say first of all,
that it looks as though the vote is against you for the meeting
place next year. I haven't announced it yet, but it is four for
New York, one for Kansas City, and I am not voting.
Confidentially, I talked to Saint about the situation, and I
have written to Olie, After I hear from Olie, if he has any
strong prejudices in the matter, I think I will take the
liberty of using some of the material in your letter and ree
Canvass the committee in regard to the meeting. I am sure you
appreciate the necessity for abiding by the majority opinion of
the board in regard to the date and place of the meeting,
Incidentelly, the time is set. Everybody agreed on that. As
indicated, however, I will try to handle the situation, if it
requires handling, when I hear from Olie, as tactfully as I
can, and so as not to embarrass you, will not quote you direct-
ly but simply state your viewpoint as though it were mine, if
this is agreeable to you.

Now then, replying to your letter with the copy of the criticism,
wish to say I think that is good stuff, We on the committee know
Tower sufficiently well so that we kmow he is not hide-bound,

He may be conservative, but he certainly is open-minded and will
take more abuse from the members of the committee good-naturedly
than any one I can think of, I believe there is a point to the
criticism voiced and for that reason, believe it would be helpful
in making out Guide a better one another year.

I have gone over quite carefully the material you sent me, and
think it is pretty good stuff.
