shows as of Oct 1948 they were still trying to find out
what Mantell was

ftr.

Brad Sparks:
This is the same document. The memos by Griffith and Deyarmond
"conclusively" denying Venus and concluding "unexplained" were like
Comment Nos. 3 or 4 or 5 to this same memo. This copy is an early
copy before Griffith and Deyarmond commented Nov 8 and 10, 1948.
