A 16 April letter from the 495Ist Commander (Col,
Alo
Apritics
Stcinkrauss) to the
Commander of the 4950th, notes several problems at Eniwctokand their
status.
The Army personnel reduction which seems to be questionable
is to whether it exists and the Navy personnel reduction which is down to
. figure of 40 or 50 are noted.
The activity of PMR in the Eniwetok area
o install a hydrophone net is noted and the fact that the 4951st seems to
ave reached a pretty good point in numbers of personnel as to having
nough to do but not too muchis noted.
