1030 - 1230 - County Fair - R & S
During this period - stated to me that he did not feel
that the various offices visited were opening up enough on logical
problems which obviously should confront those therein ever a period
of exposure. As he put it, this Would be a wonderful opportunity to
make recommendations which the Hoover Committee might well be able
to back in the interest of more efficient operations in the future.
I personally do not suseribe to this theory and strongly recommend
that we go on as we have in the past, merely showing them our various
responsibilities but not airing any family problems for them to juggle.

During this period McGruder stated to me that he did not feel
that the various offices visited were opening up enough on logical
problems which obviously should confront those therein over a period
of exposure. As he put it, this would be a wonderful opportunity to
make recommendations which the Hoover Committee might well be able
to back in the interest of more efficient operations in the future.
I personally do not suscribe to this theory and strongly recommend
that we go on as we have in the past, merely showing.them our various
responsibilities but not airing any family problems for them to juggle.
