Maryanns* Here are my ideas on scheduling for the next few months, 
lou will notice a few changes in dates and the usual question marks, A 
couple of the fellows will not like some of the committments but so be it, 
As we discussed there are still several possible personnel problems so we 
may still have to make a number of changes - as usual - always problems. 
Anyway, I've checked this out several way^to see what functional 
peop&e would be in Honolulu, etc at various times. The excess might as 
well go back to D.C, 
SAND: Heryford to be replaced in early April by Keplerj Kepler to be replaced 
in early June by man M , Man/could be a Inown dependable like Amerman,or 
perhaps Heryford for a short stay depending on how he works out. Please 
don't make a committment here - too much can happen between not: and then. 
Brat ley to be replaced in late >x pril by man N. Man N. to be replaced in ! 
late June by man 0, Same two possibilities as above for Man N. I want 
to talk with Lehner and several others before senfling anyone else out, 
I realize that ^inion will be upset because this isn't spelled out with 
definite committments through June but it can't be helped. 
How can we have so many people and still not be able to fill all of the slots??? 
By 1 &py at the latest we will have definite committments from fellows who 
wish to stay* In the meantime we may have to gamble on some of the questionable 
people, even for Sgnd. 
KURE: Standen to be reolaced by Wirtz in late March, (probably to Kure on 21 
March if the SHEARWATER goes to Midway; 28 March if the ship returns to 
D.C, If all goes well he will remain to the completion of the rat work 
sometime in June. 
Anderson to be replaced by Heryford in mid April; Heryford to be replaced 
by Bratley on mid May. Bratley to stay through June. 
Kepler to be replaced by Fleet late February. Cam needs to leave Kure 
not later than 26 February. J, his will put him in ^onojLulu the nig^t before 
his flight to Tahiti with Warren, r leet could go to* iWiwf 2 March/to Kure 
li March, If all goes well he would be replaced by Man 1 not later than 30 
May and probably sooner. 
Kure will have a lower priority than Sand insofar as our most dependable people 
are concerned. Somehow I've got to keep track of the personality problems there. 
I'll talk to Cam as soon as he arrives or perhaps by phone from Midway and see 
his side of the problem. 
ATF: Sibley, Standen, Huber and hong are positives. We have problems here again 
with Fred and ^ob. ^ince head-knocking isn't practical a briefing of ALL hands 
on the cruise is in order, Fred can take his pick of any two of the following 
three* Lehner, H 0 eman, Stadel. I would prefer to koep St?del here as probably 
the best choice for filling other slots. 
I would like to know how many of the bad reports are due to personality 
problems or just dislikes. I'm getting suspicious about several but we'll 
just have to wait a while and see.
