5 . I recommended that steps he taken to get all groups together 
and a better system set up. In this connection we can get our plans 
in better shape and ready to send along JhJough channels. 
6. Copies of each report were left with Coast Guard 1^-. 
Met Capt* Charles Tighe after our meeting. He asked a few 
questions and made a brief policy statement--usual stuff--willing to 
cooperate within limits of normal Coast Guard duties at these stations. 
I explained again reasons for need for third man on Kure but idea 
wasn T t accepted. 
Personnel evaluation - first impressions-- 
Capt. Johnsen --reminds me of a Navy chief. Seems like 
a hard man to deal with, seemed stubborn and not too sharp. Kept 
referring back to single points. Request for Merrill for two 
months when we really wanted a man for entire period. Suspicious. 
I don ! t think he grasped the problem. 
Capt* Crosbey- -had talked with Sudduth about a year ago. Seemed to 
have a better grasp of what it was all about. Seemed to understand 
the whole history and details of what the stations are like. He may 
understand our program??; but I ! m sure it would come second to anything 
Coast Guard. My first impression is that we might be able to work 
with him. 
Capt. Tighe --met him just briefly. He is not yet briefed on our 
program but is an experienced administrator. I think he might be 
sympathetic to our cause when all facts are known.
