Dear Dr. Cowling:                       April 12, 1957

I take it your attention has been drawn to the article, “SKYHOOKS”, by Dr. O.A. Ohmann, as reprinted from the May-June, 1955, issue of the Harvard Business Review and recently receiving attention from our Spiritual Mobilization and perhaps other libertarian friends.

     In the mobilization of spiritual ideals, I feel we should be circumspect — as wise as serpents, though harmless as doves. I therefore enclose for your consideration one man’s spiritual (I hope) reaction to the matter contained in Dr. Ohmann’s article.

     I shall be very happy to receive any comment that may occur to you.

                            Sincerely yours,

SH/m                   

Encl.
