National Presi­dent Charles verbally reported that the Committee met with Director Ivancso and reviewed the entire matter. It was the unanimous decision of the Committee that Director Ivancso could not support his claim, therefore, the request is denied.

The Board is of the opinion that since Mr. Andrew Rinko, President of Branch 51, Passaic, New Jersey is affiliated with another life insurance company, a definite ‘conflict of interest’” exists and, therefore, the Office of President, Branch 51, Passais, New Jersey is forfeited and vacant, in accordance with Point 21 of Tuesday’s Minutes. The Branch Vice President, Alex Lakatos is to carry out the duties of President until new election is held. The Board further agreed to immediately lift the suspension of all the other officers of Branch 51. 41.

The office of President at Branch 019, therefore, is forfeited and declared vacant. Vice Presi* dent Vendel Zimonyi is to carry out the duties of President at Branch 019 either to complete the unexpired term or until a new election for Branch President is held. 42.
