At my last interview with Harold Bender a few days ago I told him he should study the action of paraform, formaldehyde and hexamethylentetramin on [[strikethrough]] tetraphenyl drosy [[/strikethrough]] drosy- [[underlined in red]] tetraphenylmethane [[/underlined in red]]

phenol upon heregophenone I told him to modify the amounts of paraform or hexa so as to obtain either a novolak or by increasing an infusible resin. And after obtaining a [[strikethrough]] infusible [[/stirkethrough]] fusible resin try also to connect the latter by more addition of paraform [[overwritten]] and [[/overwritten]] or hexa and heating, into an infusible body thus making a 2 step process. 
I told him to [[underlined in red]] to study action of acids and of alkalies in various [[/underlined in red]] propositions on [[underlined in red]] droxy tetraphytyl. [[/underlined in red]] methane as such or [[strikethrough]] in [[/strikethrough]] after conjunction with paraform or formaldehyde I must tell him to make me at least 100 grams of [[strikethrough]] tet droxydipl [[/strikethrough]] diodytetraphenyl. methane as a solid solvent in bakelite preparations for resistance molding mixtures.
