Schneidernann, uho nade an c ointmentt with 1.ic for this morning. The ,.
nuroose of her TeLetiiv: with me V-t.s to discuss, or rr.th'ir to impress
uoon the Code Authority through me, the insistence of the Labor Adviso4
Board that im:nedipte action must be taken by the Code Authority on thg
matter of av.:-es, or that Bo~r&1 riould immediately petition you to dis-
continue th'e st,--r, ,-r.ncl JIso that you -rite the definition of semi-skil1
I thought it .olitib, therefore, to immediately phone the Code Directo'
end arrange for a s-oecial meeting of the' Code Authorit:-, to be called
not I, tor thrn 1onc'ay noon, for them to formally a.cce't or reject your i
proposals, rnd, in the c.se of rejections, to stcvte their reasons for

 While I re-lize that the industry has b3en much at fault in their
 dilly-dallyin. on this entire subject, I feel, ny'self,1 that at this
 )oint, bearin: in nind the Comn mnst threat, i't roald be unwise to prel
 too hrt& for a final decision uoon this. Although it is denied by the
' CoCe Director, I m of the definite irw)ression that Hr., Stein, the Labi
ie re';entntive, present last night, Preed rith this vie-Tr.oint. Hiss
