FRIDAY 14 MAY 1965 134th day - 231 days to come

Rcd. a FOCUS order.

Bob & Helen over. Bob had the May edition of "MD Magazine." It had a fairly long article on games and mentioned Bob in some length. He will get me a xerox copy.

Played AIRLINE, including Dana. It ran over 3 hours but kept up the interest. Bob was trying to make all kinds of deals in connection with the bidding and I think it would be preferable to prohibit any discussion of deals from the beginning to the end of a player's turn.

At one time Bob was sent to Portland Me. He used a "Purchase Order" to buy the hop and then before his next turn gave it back to the bank, thereby getting a free ride out. Possibly it might be preferable to prohibit returning a hop to the bank, unless no op- ponent will put in a minimum bid of $50.

In selli putting up 2 frozen out hops for auction, they can be put up together or separately. Am considering eliminating all choice cards from the game in order to speed up the game.
