Allen their Executive Secretary, reported that the idea was not rejected by his Board, but that he was instructed to determine the degree of interest by battery manufacturers who also operate smelters. He has sent out such a letter and will report the results to his Board at a meeting later this month. The Secretary further reported having received a copy of a letter that Mr. R. A. Putney, (National Lead Co.) N L Industries, Inc. has written to Mr. Allen relative to the problem indicating that the cooperation of the battery industry would be necessary in any discussions of the problem.

After some discussion the subject was tabled until such time as some action is taken by the Battery Council International.
