The commissioners - Melvin J. Krulewitch, James A. Farley, and Raymond J. Lee—said that Paret was in “excellent physical condition” for the contest and that the reputation, integrity and ability of referee Gold- stein ‘is above reproach.”

In a separate report, Gold- stein told the commission that:
