My dear Sir:--
In addition to the letters sent to Chairman McCleary
and Congressmen McCall and Lucking, I sent a joint telegram with
my friend, Mr. Ellwood T. Hance, to Congressman Lucking, yesterday,
urging to do his best to bring about an immediate action on 
the Academy bill.  The result of Congressman Lucking's work is
shown in copies of telegrams enclosed herein.  His latest 
message, you will observe, shows that the report has passed the 
Committee, you will observe, shows that the report has passed the 
Committee, but that the Speaker refused it recognition.  It is 
doubtful if anything more can be done this session, but it is a 
pleasure to know that the bill is on the register for action during
the next session of Congress.

Yours very respectfully,
Charles L Freer
