Letters Sent to Philip English, October 8, 1930

COPY October 8,1930. Mr. Philip English, c/o New Haven Clock Co., New Haven, Conn. Dear Mr. English: Dudley Ingraham and myself have had considerable conversation in reference to the methods employed by Mr. Knowles in his endeavors to determine the situation as regards radio- activity in various girls. Dr. Flinn in his Reports to both Ingraham and Waterbury does not approve at all of Mr. Knowles findings, and Dudley Ingraham and myself feel quite strongly that an outside authority approved by the three of us should be called in as a sort of umpire. He also feels that one of the three of us should go to Washington with Dr. Flinn to present our views to Dr.Thompson or Dr. Cummings. The expense in connection therewith would be apportioned among the three Companies. To all of this we have readily assented providing Dr. Flinn thinks it advisable. I don't presume that any of us are particularly anxious to see Washington just now, but possibly for the good of the industry some sacrifice might be warranted. Personally I must be in Philadelphia on Saturday, November 8th, and would not particularly object to going to Washington the day before, but if this date would not be agreeable I don't know that I would want to make a special trip down there right away. However, we can toss up for it if Dr. Flinn thinks that it might he the proper thing to do. Very truly yours, Vice President. CHG : GET
