NON-ATTENDANCE

The Chancellor was detained at the Supreme Court because of the unexpected continuance of hearings from the day previous at which his presence was demanded. He sent his regrets to the other Regents assembled through the Secretary.

Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, President pro tempore, and Senator Alben W. Barkley were unable to attend as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was continuing hearings on the pending European Relief Bill.
