COMMITTEE ON THE EXECUTIVE, MILITIA&nbspAND CIVIL OFFICERS

Tuesday, July 1, 1947

(Morning session)

(Executive session)

(Minutes)

A meeting of the Committee was held in Room 109 of the Rutgers Gymnasium at 10:00 A. M., Tuesday, July 1, 1947.

Members present were: Chairman Van Alstyne, presiding, Barus, Farley, Feller, Hansen, Miller, S. Jr., Smith, J. S., Walton and Young.

The minutes of the meeting of the Committee on June 26 were approved upon motion duly made, seconded and carried. The Committee also gave informal approval to the Secretary’s method of recording names of members without repetition of their titles.

Walton moved that the Committee adopt the policy of having verbatim minutes kept of each meeting. Seconded. Discussion brought out the point that newspaper representatives attended the meetings, and that if the press reported the proceedings inaccurately the Committee would have no record of its own to produce without such stenographic minutes. Motion carried by a vote of 4 to 3.

The Committee moved into the main Convention Hall at 11:00 A.M. for a public hearing.1 The minutes here summarize the proceedings, the record of which follows these minutes.

Respectfully submitted,Jane E. Barus, Secretary
