maintain a temporary office at Rev-
nosa for so long as it is urgently
needed
“You are assured that the depart-
ment is most crxious to cooperate in
every way possible with organiza-
tions in M"Ailen, but because of
1 the heavy demands on its funds and
j personnel at many other places. I
regret tnat i» is not possible to en-1
ter into definite commitments at
this tir e concerning a permanent
establishment at Reynosa ”

state. Edwards has received wide
recognition with his classes in
