Considering Midwest Institute Os Nations For Indiana

A group of midwest educators and businessmen will meet at Wawasee Preparatory, Syracuse, July 26 through 28 to discuss the establishment of a Midwest Institute of Nations. The effectiveness of such an institute for high school students conducted in California for the last seven summers has prompted the formation of a special committee to investigate the establishment of a similar school in Indiana. The special institutes are especially designed to provide a challenging introduction to world affairs to high school juniors and seniors. Students meet daily for three weeks with groups of foreign scholars, as well as with credentialed high school teachers and American foreign affairs experts, to study the social, political, religious, and cultural aspects of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

mission and a copy of a letter I have written to the official of/the Railway Express Agency in New York who has jurisdiction over this area and I think for the purpose of arousing the public and awakening it to the need to all join in a demand for better transportation service, that the publication of these letters would contribute in that direction. Martin Levemier Interstate Commerce Commission Room 1111 346 Broadway New York City, N. Y. 10013 Gentlemen: Industries and commerce of the town of Syracuse, Ind. 46567, are handicapped in their shipping and receiving vi^/ Railway Express because, since the Rafl way Express agency removed its service through Syracuse via B & O Railroad and inaugurated a system whereby they would have a man come into Syracuse on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, to deliver and pick up express, the service has been very irratic — several times failing to come on the prescribed dates, or failing to stop and pick up express at certain places (including our own). We now understand that they are only going to come into Syracuse when they have a load of express to deliver in Syracuse. They have not been here for several days and we have had two express shipments on our shipping floor since Thursday, July 11, both shipments consignee? to hospitals who have expressed a desire to have prompt shipment of this equipment. The town of Syracuse is a busy, growing town, both manufacturing, industry and commerce, and the need for prompt shipment of materials and equipment are at times very urgent. It is quite unreasonable and unfair to permit the continuation of this unreliable Railway Express agency service and I hope you will take the necessary action to see to it that prompt and suitable express service is inaugurated and carried out by the express company on behalf of Syracuse and its adjoining industry and commerce. Please let me hear from you. Martin Levernier Mr. T. T. Moore, S'. c-o Railway Express Agency 219 East 42d Street New York City, N. Y. 10017 Dear Sir: I enclose herewith a copy of the letter I have written to the Interstate Commerce Commission representative in New York City (he probably is a buddy of your’s) regarding the deplorable service the Railway Express agency is rendering the town of Syracuse and adjacent commerce and industries. I do not know whether you are familiar with the situatkm as I have described it in my letter to the Interstate Commerce Commission, but if you are not I hope that you will immediately check into this matter and see that the proper correction is made. If you were a business man in the manufacturing industry and had important shipments on your dock waiting the arrival of your Express agency, which did not come, and your customer arriving at the conclusion that you were an insincere firm and negligent in business management, you would feel as we do and you would have a right to complain as we do. Please let me hear from you on this subject. Martin Levemier
