QUEENS S F L INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
MEETS MAY 13 AT THE HOME OF JULIUS UNGER
Meeting at the home of Julius Unger, prominent science fiction dealer, the Queens Science Fiction League Investigating Committee met to discuss and act on the treasury report submitted by former Director Hyman Tiger, and former Secretary Scott Feldman, which was rejected at the regular meeting of M ay 4th.  Present were Julius Unger, Chairman, Mrs. W. Sykora, Sec'y-Treas. of the Queens SFL, Melvin Hendriken, Will Sykora, committee members, and Charl[overtyped]esHidley and Kay Brickman, guests.  Mrs. Unger served fruit and chocolates.
After due discussion it was decided that definite action be taken to recover a fair proportion of the Queens SFL's property, and to endeavor to obtain a financial settlement without legal means if possible.  The Secretary-Treasurer was, however, empowered to use legal means to recover, as a last resort and provide the expense could be kept at a minimum.  The committee regretted the necessity to take any such steps, but the attitude of Scott Feldman at interviews during which QSFL representatives went far out their way to be fair made firmer action necessary.
