Irv Spence's Cartoon Diary: June 16, 1944
A. Arnold "Buddy" Gillespie was a visual effects artist at MGM Studios from 1924 to 1965. In 1943 and '44 he was assigned as an animator on director George Gordon's cartoons. (See prod. #s 103, 106, 108, and 113 at the link.)
"Tree Surgeon," one of George Gordon's MGM cartoons, with Arnold Gillespie's animation.
"Johnny Johnson" might be a reference to this musical.
And we have another appearance of the mysterious "availability certificate." I've yet to find out exactly what this was. Maybe it was something issued by the studio when employees we re-assigned.

Irv Spence's Cartoon Diary: January 24, 1944
Was assistant animator Stod Herbert a lyricist, too? A Google search for "Stod Herbert" turned up, in addition to credits on several Ralph Bakshi features, this item from the sheet music collection at the San Jose library:
Title: Baby What I'm Gonna Do To You
Composer(s)/Lyricist(s)/Arranger(s): Deranja, Jack; Ciarocchi, Gene; Herbert, Stod
Music type: Piano Notes.
There's nothing beyond the name to connect animation Stod to the Stod of song. Searches on the ACAP and BMI websites came up empty.
