State Director, to the effect that there should be a labor member on the',, i '
the various panels. Mr. D~vid Hunter's name was presented ~for approVa~ ,~F ;
and he will be on the food panel. Mr. Coffin feels that the fuel and'
panels should be increased although there are no ~abor,members on
present. Mr. Coffin.~stated that there is one weak point and that is ,in~wee~y
publications.. Mrs. Maynard is not in there all the .time and they are'not ~able
to get reports on price control made out.
