Very general answers to Questi ons 1-4 were conununicated t o Ms.

Marcia Mulkey on 11 January 1930 by tele 3 hone.

QUESTION 71 Intervenor has not yet identifted any witnesses for speci fi c content i.ona at t h i. s date, although preli mi n.try contacts have l'oen rado with a few persons with regard to Contenti.on 98 (Ewrgrmcy Planni ng).

The ability of thi.s Intervonor t o present *ci t nes s ea on the many wirious c ont e nt i. o ns will to dependent largely on the availabi.lity of fundi.nt, to cover wi t ness - related cos t s.

It is very posnible that lack o f such Eundi.ng wi.11 force this Intervenor into reliance on being,ay own " expert" and on c r -:; -e:.<.:ni cat i cn in order to advance M'
