It remained for Florida’s At- torney General, Tom Watson, to present organized labor with a set of fifteen questions relative to their methods of operation in connection with the closed shop agreements at the Tampa Ship- yards. Watson contends that the char- ter of the shipbuilding company, as granted by this state, does not authorize it to make closed shop agreements or other ex- clusive employment contracts. He filed a quo warranto “action against the company and seeks information that should shed plenty of light on the subject if he succeeds in securing complete and unequivocal answers. Watson asked how much the unions had collected in member- ship fees ... How many working permits they had issued .. .

Rickenbacker a short time before he started on what is believed to have been an ill-fated trip in the Pacific on which he has been reported missing. The report covers a survey trip to the European theatre air fight- ing front and said that “the trend is entirely in our favor”. Captain Rickenbacker, air ace of World War I, expressed belief that “the European theatre will remain an air theatre until we have secured superiority over the German Air Force and paralyzed the production capacity of the German aircraft industry”. “There is no question that we} will win this war,” he said. “The only question is how soon.” {Captain Rickenbacker recent- ly inspected United States bomb- er and fighter stations in the British Isles and several times saw Flying Fortresses in action, dispatches from London state. News of his recent visit had been banned until now.) Captain Rickenbacker’s report to the War Department was made public by Secretary Stimson with the explanation, that Captain Rickenbacker was sent to Eng- land to survey Army Air Force personnel and equipment under attual combat conditions and in The captain concluded that American conceptions of Army aircraft and their, tactical em- ployment are proving sound in combat and at “the British look upon the practical applica- tion of our air war theories with increasing approval”. Captain Rickenbacker estimat- ed that the total German Air Force “does not exceed 4,700 op- erational combat planes of every type, a very small percentage of these being bombers.” “It would be a mistake, how- ever, to draw the conclusion that German air power is on the de- crease,” he continued, and ex- plained: “While we may hope that Brit- ish and American bombers have crippled German air craft produc- tion and maintenance in Ger- many and France, the case may well be that the Germans are working feverishly on new de- sign planes to offset the aerial superiority which, at the present writing, is definitely on the Al- lies’ side. ‘ “We are bound to suffer loss- es, maybe even great losses, be- fore the conquest of Germany is completed.” He praised American and Brit- ish combat planes, both bombers and fighters.

Taken to a hospital, sur- geons found that a live German Messerschmitt cannon shell was imbedded in the thigh and that, on the slightest touch, it might explode. After consultation with a bomb-disposal squad, Dr. Don- ald Hall, disregarding the dan- ger to himself, volunteered to undertake the delicate opera- tion. Assistants and nurses quick- ly volunteered to help, and lucky for Coates and them, the opera- tion was carried through without mishap.
