285. For Ethridge. Dept deems essential Commission submit to SC complete report of facts disclosed by investigation and extent of support in Commission for such findings of fact. Dept is not willing that compromise on this be made in Commission to obtain agreement on any other aspects Commission’s report or for any other reasons. We have no objection to minority report. In Dept’s opinion, if report indicates clearly the facts and support therefor, SC can draw its own general conclusions as to whether there has been a violation of the Charter or guilt with respect to Greek charges.
