by a Special Advisory Committee consisting of Doctors Percival Bailey, P r o fessor of Neurology and Neurological Surgery, Chairman; Otto F .

I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Davis, this appointment was made as recommended.

SERVICES OF PROFESSOR H. C. M. CASE TO UNITED NATIONS RELIEF AND REHABILITATION ADMINISTRATION (2) The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration has asked Professor H. C. M. Case, Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics, to serve as Consultant in the Bureau of Supply on a per diem basis. In fact, this agency has been trying to secure Professor Case for full-time service, but he has been unwilling to accept such a position because of his University responsibilities. The first assignment will require about two weeks in Washington which will be on his vacation time. Aside from that and an occasional trip to Washington he does not anticipate spending a great deal of time on the work. If later developments indicate that he can render a greater service to the country in this work than in his University position, the matter will be reviewed to determine whether a leave of absence for full-time service will be recommended or an adjustment made in his salary and University duties to permit him to devote more time to the work. I recommend that Professor Case be authorized to accept this position on a per diem for actual service rendered. O n m o t i o n of M r .
