It was the feeling of those present that the natter should be referred to an early sectlog of the Advisory Coerittee of this uivision with particular reference to adding field sen to the staff. Ihe secretary * sties ted that each addi tional field man would add about 110,000 a year to the coat of the proeras. The chairman then requested discussion on nixed metals. Ib* subject of a protlonal campaign on type natal wus discussed but it was the feeling of the croup that such a program would be expensive and the volua* is probably not sufficient to Justify such a progrua. The chaldcan then suggested that solder composition earking be considered. After sees discussion it was the consensus of opinion that this subject be further considered by the Advisory Oarit tee.
