Filed by MR. BAWSOT: SAN 16 1950 January 12, 1950 7.1 3-B Dear Mr. Pharriss: It was nice to receive your letter of January ninth and I wish that I could give you some help in connection with the Census. The organization as set up is to operate strictly through state channels and, therefore, we cannot assist as the state organization is to make the recommendations. The only course for you to follow, as far as I know, is for you to get to- gether with the local organization. Again I want to say that I am sorry I cannot write an encouraging letter. With best wishes, TREA Very sincerely yours, ARCHIVER AND I ESVERM DONALD S. DAWSON Administrative Assistant to the President Mr. Walter Pharriss Box 203 X Aurora Missouri dsd/ddb L
