NAVAL  AVIATION  CADET  SELECTION   BOARD
1210 BRYANT BUILDING
11TH & GRAND AVENUE
KANSAS  CITY, MISSOURI
January 8, 1942
Mr. Robert Hogan,
The Cedar Rapids Gazette,
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Dear Hogan:
In response to a request of yours, I  am enclosing a fair photograph of Nile Kinnick together with an
article which appeared in the Kansas City Kansan. Please
give this data top publicity.
Kinnick has created quite an impression down
here and deserves the best you can give him. If you care
to give  the Kansas  City Kansan a bye-line on the photograph,
it would be a nice gesture. They gave it to me.
Regarding your request for suggestions as to
how your  services could be used in this  war, I suggest that
you drop in down here some time within the next several
weeks and we will attempt to assist you in making application
for some type of special commission.
Webster Wright,
Lieut. Commander,  USNR.,
Senior Member.

P.  S. Please send me two copies of  the publicity.
