Also attached Is a susasary J of our astliMtad expenditures during tho currant roar and ~ astloatod cost of the racoon anil ad progras for 1990. ` It will bo soon that expenditures for tho currant year will probably run about 92000 less than the approved budget of 929,000. This Is largely duo to the fact that two 1 1 tests, traveling expense end research setarials end expense, ran considerably lass than estlwated. At a result the Divi ' sion should and tho year with a cash balance of botween $9000 and (4000, woat of which sight be applied to next year's bud- gat. Ve have aatlwated that tho suggested progrsa for 1990 will cost sbout |29,000, which Is the ease awount that waa approved for 1949 but a substantial part of tho cash balance rooalnlng at the year-end sight be applied to tho 1990 activities sod, therefore, reduce tho subscriptions of weebere fros |9,000 subscribed this year to about {1,000. This would be a reduction of approximately 1Q la total sub scriptions. 9a hope that you will give the suggested progreo your serious attention before the next seating of the nod Lead Technical Coasitteo to that It say bo discussed st that tlaa and put into final shape for suboisslon to tho full Di vision for approval. t "'vw'uerei waplaiiR. e|p yifw ' ornm'M L IA0783* 4 * m LSM gmaioi aagamafiso srmu m u m oann It 1* fait that tha anphasls of tba work of this Division should again bo placed on promotion rathor than roaaarch In 19SO, aa waa dona in 1949. In this way full advantage can be taken of the research progress started, and In soee cases concluded. In recent years. It Is fait, however, that new developments ^ay sale advisable a United aaount of additional research to keep our recommendations and proaotional saterlal up to date and to provide data for_ promotional work In future years. Therefore, a United anount of research Is Included la the Recoeoended Program for 1930. PPBUCITT WR A! uc roosora pr o g r am The first report of this progren, describing It la detail, and the first progress report rating the speclsens after one year's exposure, will have been published and circulated to sooe 10,000 or 13,000 people by the end of 1949. It Is felt that at least one, and possibly two, additional progress reports should be Issued during 1930. Rhlle such frequent reports say not show such difference In the ratings on sany of the panels at this early stage of the project. It say be advisable, nevertheless, for the purpose of bringing the project before the people we wish to Interest, to Issue two reports. Production and nailing of only one progress re* port during 1930 are provided for in the budget. It also seen* advisable during 1930 to prepare a paper describing. In detail, the atmospheric exposure pro* gran and giving pralielnarr reports of rssulta for delivery before soee Paint and Varnish Production Clubs during 1980, followed In later years by papers bringing the preliminary date up te date.

This work was not con- suMated In 1949 and It Is suggested that It be Included la the 1950 progran. Likewise, it was suggested a year ago that this work, at a soeewhat later date, would lend Itself to pre paration of a paper before Paint and Varnish Production Clubs, subsequently to be published In the OFFICIAL DIGEST, reprints to be used by th* Association and Its saebers. This also should b# a part of tha 1950 activities. -- It was also suggested a year ego that aa early re search project of the Association on suitable vehicles for use with red leed sized plgwent forwulatlons would yield data suitable for the preparation of a paper on this subject. As this has not yet been done It should be Included la the 1950 activities. cajmi. rmrerm pau x s MAIIOpAL ASSOCIATION OF COKTOSIOM mSlMBM At the annual setting of th* Rational Association of Corrosion Engineers in April, 1949. s paper on Metal Pro tective Prlsere vac delivered by Mr. 8.
