Strawn, as sociation president, pointed out. He further stated that the board of directors felt that if the private business schools were to do their part in solv ing these problems it was im perative that the field have one strong association which could spend its time construc tively working towards solu tions without having part of its energies and resources spent in competition with a rival association.

But the Interim committee said it understands this action will be reconsid ered by the revision commis sion. A legislator said he under stands that the reason the commission may take another look at the proposal for de letion is a statement by a New York banker that such action would adversely affect inter est rates on state highway bonds - meaning the state would have to pay more In terest than it pays now. The banker made this re port some weeks ago to State Treasurer Howard C. Belton, after the banker heard of the action by the revision commis sion.
