Man Power from U.3
___^
Dear Cribbett,
I have seen the report of the Joint
* /jY   Staff Mission meeting on November Uth (M.M-(W)199)
/       in which there is discussion about the British
requirements for technical personnel from the
United States and I see that you will be pursuing
the matter.    The only point which I would like to
/      raise is that dealt with in my letter to you of
- (fr   September 23rd about the Ordway scheme.     This may
seem to you to be a rather half-baked idea and
indeed I think it is so to some extent.   On the
other hand it is a pity to discourage people of
this kind if it is at all possible to make any
use of their services, and I think that to have
them in England would be a value in itself apart
from any actual contribution that they were able
to make to the war effort.     I was wandering
therefore whether you had got any further with the
• suggestion for the creation of a category for
semi-skilled labour in the C.T.C., either here
or in London* and whether Air Marshal Harris had
found occasion to raise the matter with Stettinius.
Yours sincerely.
W.O. Hayter.
