Dear Colonel Tangum:-

 For once tris Codr! Autfcoritv, st7pted on time 7ith its meetin- in-
stead of the usual sixty minutess l.te. I wonder vrhy it is that in one
meeting out of ever7- four, t.iis .Trou hp(s to be a tuiultous one? I
thought last night, for a n.inute or to, thr,t I -rr s going to lose my
reason but tow.rdcs the 1otter r)rt of the evening I suppose because
they .ero tired out, rather than rn, influence they did quiet down.

bruary 28th and there -as a vmr-r evident desire on the part of the Code
Authority to hsve it -)ostponed. lir. ;:ittenthal pointedd out that this
might ,iorz harn to-m.7:'ds the ne- :roup ?.bout to be -,bosrbed b1r this in-
