Mr. Jenner. He would?
Mr. Powers. Well——
Mr. Jenner. Excuse me. Can you give me any incident——
Mr. Powers. Well, just going back——
Mr. Jenner. That would express that opinion?
Mr. Powers. Well, in Japan or something, possibly in the barracks, I recall, or like in Biloxi, he had some scuffles. I said he was coming out of his shell, and showing more aggressiveness, but I wouldn't say that this guy is a trouble maker. I would say that the opinion of him would be that you couldn't depend on him in a situation, that you could give him the responsibility, but then you couldn't really say that he would accept it, but you could be sure with other individuals; you knew that they would accept it, but I don't think that he did this only because he wasn't sure of himself. I think if you did give him authority and he realized what the position of authority was that he would accept it and he would probably pride himself in it.
Mr. Jenner. But at least during this period of time, he hadn't reached the stage of dependability that you men of higher rank would rely on?
Mr. Powers. Well, I wasn't in a position to delegate authority to him, but again, as I say, this is a personal opinion.
Mr. Jenner. Did—in any conversation that you had with him, or any conversations in your presence which he wasn't present in, was there anything mentioned about his being in Chicago?
Mr. Powers. No.
