was advised that while it is not customary
to interview registrants during a Conscientious Objector in-
vestigation, due to the fact that forms.which are filled out by
the registrant furnishing background information are sometimes ~
improperly filled out, and that in order to preclude the
possibility of it appearing that the registrant has not been
truthful, he may be interviewed with prior permission of the
U. S. Attorney in order to clarify certain information which is
not clear. lHL%§$I3I stated that he appreciated the fact that
the FBI went to such pains to protect the Conscientious Objector.

A mimeographed copy of the "Minutes of the Representa-
tive Council, £FSC,.January 1955 sets forth the relationship
of the APSC to the religious Society of Friends as follows:
The Service Committee is a grouo 0? coneerne

Friends and other likeminded persons who seek to put_
into action fundamental Christian testimonies of the
e 9 y Society of Friends. It 1S not a committe o_ an
Iearly Meeting or all Yearly Meetings. It is only one
of the channels through which FrienGs&#39; concerns are
expressed. lt seeks to be alert to_the concerns of
Meetings as well as individuals, but it does not
presume to be an organ of such Meetings. It should
make clear and public pronouncements that it speaks
only for itself." _ _w_."&#39; 92 .2L_&#39;_.-5:
the reason for the above statement is duo tot e fact that
some disscnsicn seems to have arisen amend various Yearly
Meetings concerning the IFSC. A number of the {early Keetings
feel that the general public regards the KFSC as one of the
official organs of the religious Society of Frienés and theConcerning the above-noted item,{i3 advised that

actions of h?SC as actions of all Friends. The informant stated
that this_is not the fact and tnat&#39;the IFSC does not speak for
all Yearly Meetings, but, in fact, each Yearly Hosting sneaks
for itself. ceording to the informant, the LFSC wishes,
through the above statement, to make it clear that it is not
acting on behalf of all the Yearly Meetings and, in fact} any
Yearly Meeting, and that its policies and actions are enth"cly
its own. -

The second group of recommendations deals with
United States policy for Germany and are as follows:
1. United&#39;States policy should have as its objective
the political and economic unification and neutral-
ization of Germany. For the United States and the
Soviet Union tccontinue the competition for
Germany will almost certainly lead to disaster.
&#39; and the parallel efforts of the Soviet Union
to the Eastern Zone should be superseded by a
new effort to establish the framework within
which the Germans themselves, under the Four
Power supervision, would take the initiative
in preparing a constitution and government for
the whole of Germany.2. Pttemots to establish a West German government
3. trrangements should be made for the&#39;orogressive
withdrawal of all occupation forces, following
the establishment of a unified regime.
h. P31 countries should be assured non~discriminatory
commercial access to the industrial output of
German oroduotion.
§. Germany should be a party to an international con~
c vention covering the control, inspection and
reduction of armament.
6. The distribution and allocation of coal and steel
from the Ruhr should be integrated into the work
of the Economic Commission for Eurooe.

disarmament, a complete policy for peace
would have three principal points:
