{sAjrij 'V-r--d--^ 1947 Dr. Harry "codburr. Chase, Chancellor Kav fork University Jfs.shlr.cton Square Ker York 3, Her York Ky dear Dr.' Chasei I knew that there had been sose diseussicr. rlth hr. Lanza on the subject of your letter of the 21st but have had no opportunity of talking with him. Just nor, he is at our Pacific Coast Head Office and in all probability rill return in a comparatively short tine. In the circumstances, I thick we should defer further consideration of the natter until tre have an oppor tunity of corferring rlth the Doctor. It is ay understanding that Dr. Lanza desires to retire fros active service, which he nay do by the end of 1948, and ny present view is that errzngenents nay be made for hie continuing with full salary with this Conpeny for the year 194S, giving he If-time to this Cospany and half-time to the project in question, if it is desired that he should do so. Being on the Company's payroll, of course he would net receive other eoapensrtien. It is suggested, there fore, that ire take the matter up zith him upon his rsturn. I trust this will be helpfully satisfactory. Faithfully yours, EL ECKIalv Chairman of the Board
