Fay called. Some big-shot woman objected to TREASURE HUNT that the audience had nothing to do. I reminded Fay that I had brought that up. She didn't remember but said that she is very stupid. She wants me, BB, Claude, and Anne to think of ways of changing it, and will not hand it in till it has been fixed. I said I'd try but doubt if I'll come up with anything.

Rcd. letter from F. Daniel. He wants to know if he can do something with NUMBER FOOTBALL on his own or is he obligated to I-S.
