In addition, one must represent labor, one must represent industry,
one must be specially knowledgeable in research, one must be associ-
ated with the work of charitable organizations, and three must be
selected because of their interest in the problems of the aging. The

State Department of Health, the Commissioner of the Department of
Mental Hygiene, the Director of the State Department of Public Wel-
fare, the State Superintendent of Schools, the Executive Director of
