November 13th, 19U1.
Dear Mr. Ordway,
I arc afraid I still have little
'jcx    to add to my letter of October 2nd. I
'     have heard that the possibility of creating
a non-skilled section of the Civilian
Technical Corps, about which I wrote to
Mr. Ilorris Tibbetts on October 23rd, is
'       being wo rise d on by the Defence Departments
in London, and the Ministry of Labour are
also investigating the possibilities of
employing the services of your group in
other spheres.   They do not seem to be
getting on with it very fast, and I am doing
what X can to induce them to get a move on*
I am afraid that all this lei3urely progress
must be disappointing to you.
Meanwhile you might think the
following matter worth following up. I
understand that Mr. Kric Biddle is setting
up an unofficial committee to arrange that
selected American citizens should go to the
United Kingdom to do administrative and
social welfare work.    So far as I understand
the position, this scheme has mainly in mind
trained persons with experience and high
qualifications in these particular fields,
but it might nevertheless be worth your while
to get in touch with Mr. Biddle, whose address
is 552 Transportation Building, Washington, D.C.
Yours sincerely,
W. G. Hayter.
Mr. .T.A. Ordway, 2nd,
