To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I wish to make the following points to clarify the situation regarding Phillips Brooks House, and to dispel the unfortunate and false impression that I am engaged in battle with the President land Cabinet of the Phillips Brooks House Association.

1) Any idea that the proposed changes at the Brooks House would face the present activities with financial ruin is erroneous. Assurance was given to the Association Cabinet, when it approved the proposal, that the philanthropic Association's work would be considered first in the annual budget.

2) All of us in the Association are continuing to push and increase our traditional social service projects without let-up.

3) The Harvard Catholic Club, Harvard Hillel and perhaps even the Protestants, do wish to use Brooks House upstairs offices, and this matter will come up before the new Brooks House committee, as yet unappointed this year, for final approval, to be effective not before 195-56.
