"they knew these men personally" and did not trust their judgment?
We 
are not impugning the good faith of men in charge of the Survey, we are 
raising a question as to their good judgment.   I hope we can raise 
that question without being accused of being prejudiced, particularly 
when we show ourselves willing to publish material on the other side of 
such questions when such material is made available to us. 
As to whether or not you continue to serve on our Advisory Board, 
I should be sorry if you felt you had to withdraw, as my father has 
always cherished your friendship for OUTDOOR LIFE, and as I hold your 
judgment as a scientist in considerable respect. On the other hand 
we could not ask you to continue to serve on our Advisory Board if you 
disagree with our general editorial attitude.
