as “Who’s Who in Federal Administration,”) I have told them that you 
were away and that the matter would be brought to your attention on your 
return! 
Vice President Barkely has sent you a letter from Mr. Maurice 
Leigh concerning a proposed publication “The Voice of Research.” He 
says “I know nothing whatever about the details of this matter, but I am 
submitting his letter to you for whatever consideration you may be able 
to give his request.” Mr. Graf asked me to prepare a letter for his 
signature suggesting that the matter be held for your attention on your 
return which I have done. Mr. Graf said also that if Mr. Barkley did not 
think this advisable he would go up and talk with him. 
We have just had word that Dr. Hildebrand passed away last night. 
Dr. Brodkorb has written you asking that you use your good 
offices to secure a Federal permit for one of his graduate students. (The 
Fish and Wildlife Service turned down the request.) He has also sent a letter 
to Dr. Aldrich and Mr. Lincoln. I told him that you were in Panama and 
that since he had written to the other men also that I had no doubt they would 
attend to the matter ! 
Work has been heavy and we have been busier than beavers in 
this officeJ It has been very cold and today it is raining with the weather 
man promising a wet snow this afternoon. 
I hope that your plans continue to work out on schedule and that 
both you and Mr. Perrygo have given some attention to acquiring a sun tan!
