about 1700 passengers to Kwajalein, exclusive of JIF 7 personne}
assigned to the vessels for billeting.

The Bureau of Yards and Docks, Navy Department, conducted
certain tests of material and structures on Engebi (X-RAY Test) and
Aomon (YOKE Test) Islands.
Inspection of structures and gathering
of data was completed by the BuDocks representative on Engebi on
24 April and on Aomon on 7 May.
All data and information regarding
these tests were forwarded to Washington by special courier on
8 May 1948.

Wo BuDocks tests were planned for ZSBRA Day.
A movie exchange was established early in December in
COMSTOCK to provide daily issue of film to all vessels present.
This functioned at first only on sea prints which were turned in by
individual vessels.
In January, circuit prints were received from
Comservpac at a rate of 5 new 16mm prints weekly.
This exchange was
open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, to insure that operators would
be able to draw film at any time.
In addition to keeping all vessels
supplied, and with the approval of the Bureau of Naval Personnel,
Iscom Eniwetok was supplied film to supplement the Army motion pic-
ture service for Army units on the various islands.
20.
Reoreation facilities were set up on Eniwetok, Parry,
Rujoru, and Runit Islands.
These were, of necessity, meager and
confined, because of the restrictiaons imposed by security of the
islands and the limited time for granting liberty.
In addition,
the hazard of swimming in radiologically contaminated water
‘restricted the use of these facilities.
