1/11/63 I talked with Cochrane and he said that he war thought it was an excellent statement, and commented about those in attendance by saying that Wood is the vehicle through which Zenas Sears is trying to destroy the established leadership. He further stated that someone should give Zeasa Sears a talking to, that the stuff he has been saying on WAOK is deplorable He further restated that no action could be taken until after the League meeting tonight (7 :30) but they will move quickly thereafter. They are going to make the following pitch to the league: We are not going into the merits or demerits of the problem, but merely the right to negotiate about any problem. He said that Walden would get in touch with MBL (probably Monda6) about further proceedings. As a parting thought, he said that he dm:kixx decided they should give some consideration to your appearing before the league tonight for about 30 minutes, since you had not spoken to them before. I told him I would pass all of this along, and if he w ished to make further comment about tonight, to call you back this afternoon �
