Dear Joshua:

I am including the final plan for the symposia
which has been sent out today. We hope to have the abstracts
by May 15th, and we will seni them to you as soon as they
become available,

The title of the focal topic 4 has been changed
to "Microbial Genetics". Francis Ryan will act as chairman.

The papers so far submitted for consiteration in
this section do not seem to represent a very attractive
sample. I have therefore asked all the speakers and the
panel discussersof our symposium to contribute, if possible,
papers to this session. This may be also helpful in decreas-
ing the tendency of the discussers to present their own work

during the symposium. If you would care to contribute to
this session at all; it is unnecessary to say that every-
body would be delighted.

Dr. Iino*’s abstract has now been placed on the
program of topic 4; we were very glad to get it.

The Office of the Secretary General would be ¢grate-
ful if you would send in your final application form by the
end of this month unless you have done so already. You are
not expected to pay the congress fee. The office is in
correspondence with the Society of American Bacteriologistsa
about travel expenses of the American participants and as
soon as they have ficured out the exact sum, they will con-
tribute (which will be a large part , but not all, of the
travel expenses) they will contact you. The rest of your
travel expenses will be paid by our institute.

With warmest regards,

Leorte
