What is the engine inside Hoffa that keeps him running so hard? The coal biter's son says a lot about it himself. In Detroit's recent newspaper strike, "at 3 a.m. in the morning three editors came to see me, and we worked things out. I talked and they listened. Can you imagine how it feels to have men like that listen to reason? Did you ever hear of confidence? Did you ever hear of people accepting a man on his bond?

Biter, first of these American-made auxiliaries to be identified in the Atlantic action, began the battles by depth-charging and machine-gunning two submarines. Long-range Coastal Command planes then joined the escort, and one of them, a Liberator, disabled a submarine. A British destroyer and one of the new British "frigates" (somewhat similar to the U.S. Navy's new destroyer escorts) led naval aircraft to another submarine. Attacking in turn, they destroyed the U-boat. Other aircraft, including the first Fortresses mentioned in Coastal Command...
