The loads being varried are sa hoavy that the absens• of any one .A...erte n from his post puts undue strain on all the rest. :; 3at•thifl must be donv about getting Avecn an persennel to S .ypt . The U.S.. War Dnpartsw►nt has definitely refused air transportation to get ris long as the pressure in North Jfrioa oontiswwss. After a very tborou h disouceion, the ,groin ears to the following aonolusionas 1. Dean Radeau +nouba not get to R,gypt by oonvoyed transport until April. The tsavhiog load he could carry at that late date would not be groat. We should th.refora plan to use him in Meriaa with the understanding that the chief em-phasis be put on raising money for ourrent budget or mar emergency items outside the budget. Spooking and other activities should be a means to this end. 2.
