    Damp, muggy, improved pm.

    Ground rice for bread.

    Roll Call 2pm.

    Saw Steve pm. He is about completely run-down sleepless nights & shingles. Hosp treatment for him.

    Blast these little yellow rats & their enforced semi-starvation.

    Jap Paper makes much of combined Jap & I.N.A. successes? in Burma. We cannot get a true perspective of the action & cannot tell its size or scope.

    A hitch in negotiations is blamed for the delay in repatriation & not a shortage of shipping.
