MEMORANDUM FOR: CHIEF ATB/TR(S)
a. A phone call was received in llllllllllllllllllllllllMonday night
25X1A9a relative to the disposition of the unit. It was rumored
that Col - had phoned to rent a house in town and
25X1A9a that had been contacted in regard to continuing
the lease of

Wednesday night, 13 May with word that they had left
Washington D. C. with confirmation that the school would
25X1A6a remain in By the time they arrived in
25X1A6a - this decision had been reversed.
c. The business people of the town are now sending wires
and telegrams to Washington to attempt to change the decision
to move to
3. ITEMS OF ADMINISTRATIVE INTEREST.
a. From all report is not too good a set-up.
The nearest training areas are said to be between 80 and 150
miles from the base. Buildings are scarce and the temporary
use of tents is being contemplated. Housing is very tight.
Training is to continue uninterrupted, yet to do any kind of
job a minimum period of three weeks of reconnaissance, prior
planning, etc. is necessary. This move has all the earmarks
of being a first class mess for some time to come and it is
doubtful if a really good training program can materialize
for quite a while. If it is being contemplated that we con-
tinue to be involved in this I think it would be wise to hold
off any final decision until the situation can be fully
evaluated.

ei'RIiY INFORMATION
b. I must vacate my house 20 May 1953 and am therefore
requesting that W leave start on or about this date. My
address will be Moose, Wyoming. I can also be reached by
phone at Moose, Wyoming but will have to be contacted by
the local people. This may take an hour or more. The best
way is to ask that I return the call at a certain time.
25X1A9a
c. Mr. has been crating equipment that will
be returned to Washington.
d. I plan to store one safe and the remaining equipment
here at the school or in a suitable place. Mrs. ~ will 25X1A9a
be here to make a daily security check.
e. Have you received any word from Mr. - as to 25X1A9a
whether I can sell certain items of equipment and put the
money in the revolving fund? I have in mind such items as
the table and benches.

SECURITY INFORMATION
f. I had a long talk with Col - relative to past 25X1A9a
and present conditions at the school. I told him that our
position here was to do whatever he wanted done in training,
but that I had to be able to in some way guide the training
if we were to accomplish our mission. I think that Col
will run a much more efficient school administra-
tively than has been the case in the past.
