Swanson objected, saying that she wished to settle the ratter without further delay. ._ . Bothe__ told Mrs. Swanson that she was making an assumption that her view of this pro:'ram was not that of the Public. Mr. Tjadsworth asked that the meeting held now rather than in :ece =e_ to find out if the present program is satisfactory to Dr. Clone. _ads:'orth added that we are getting to the point where we don't know what the r'-rection of the program should be. . Ts. Derchtold noted that a great deal of criticism has peen leveled at the program. She felt it was time to r.i again - to use the resources of the program as part of the learning process.

His recommendation was to con- tinue with Friedman and give her a s;eoi_io charms.
