this document which we have marked here as Exhibit No. 1.
First of all, would you tell us how you happened to know Mr. Dann?
Mr. RUBY. His daughter teaches Hebrew in the school where my daughter
attends, and his daughter impressed on him, after several conversations
to contact me, and see what he could do to help us because he has
been very active in helping I should say, the minority groups of any
organization.

Mr. RUBY. He is an attorney.
Mr. GRIFFIN. In Detroit?

Mr. GRIFFIN. How old a man is Mr. Dann?
Mr. RUBY. I would say 55. That is a guess, of course.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you know Mr. Dann before his daughter talked with you
about——

Mr. GRIFFIN. Now, do you know what efforts Mr. Dann made after talking
