Capt. Henrich wants to work in my office. Tried to get line on his ability but was not sure - Will investigate him more - Lt. Nelson - Mohanberi does good job of logical analysis - Will watch him too.

Find I must take somewhat firmer position with subordinates - Also works with superiors -

Visited sector last night. They insist I must stay in sector - not monkey with Western Sector - will see - The job is far from finished in E.S. but W.S also needs help - Maybe can find good assistant.

Lt. Merrick came back on [[strikethrough]] Monday [[/strikethrough]] ^[[Tuesday]] (Jan. 26!) After having been at sector. Seems Lt. Reese (sector navigator) instructed him to bring the Polaris (Gerhardt) navigation method down here for me to install. I flatly refused to do it. Wrote letter to sector C.O. explaining position and sent Merrick back to Jerhat.

Lt. Col. R.F. BROMLEY reported for 30 days TD. but claimed he didn't know [[stirkethough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] why he is here except to look over what I'm doing. Says he is to be assigned to Western Sector. Told Page that he was to install there what I am installing in Eastern Sector - Wish HQ would tell people what they are supposed to do! Showed him the works- Checked his daylight contact in C-46 - Pretty good pilot - can see has had big ship time.
