countries. One letter proposed to
recruit Kelly Field graduate to
serve as a machine gun instructor
in China.
Bolivian officials. other letters
showed, asked Curtiss- Wright ex-
ecutives to obtain some American

A letter from Intercontinent

Curtiss office last February read:
"Jack, Allard has asked me to
write and see if you could obtain
from the army list of about p
recent graduates of Kelly Field,
together with their service rec
ords, from which we could pick 4
number for ferrying airplanes to
foreign country with the posi-
bility that they might obtain en-
ployment with that foreign gov
eminent. There exists an open
ING for a man in China who may
also be selected from this list"
Evidence was presented that
the Curtiss company planned to
place false labels on equipment
destined for Peru because the
Grace Line Steamship company
has refused to transport war ma
terials while Peru and Colombia

further about Alagna).
About Alagna. We had had
trouble with certain radio opera
tors. There had been a strike Of
operators in New York two
months ago. Alagna and a for
mer second officer, Barrow, were
leaders in the strike. They didn't
like the food. They called Capt.
Robt. R. Willmott "a dirty dog"
Barrow got drunk in Havana
and was fired. l came on as Sec
ond officer under Pearson. Fear
son quit the ship and l took COM
mand. On the last trip Captain
Willmott talked to me about AL
agna. He called me to the bridge
and asked:
Whats the matter with this
man, Alagna? | think he .scrazy.
We've always had trouble with
him." g..
| didn't know what it was all
about but the captain told me of
trouble Alagna had caused over
landing passes and'trouble he was
always starting with customs Of
ficials when he refused to obey
certain regulations ., 80.
Captain Willmott told me at
the time: 81 want you to get rid
of Alagna when we get to New
York l also want you to take
the key to the emergency radio
room and not. let Algana get to
it. | don't trust him at all"
The captain also told me that
he feared that Alagna would try
to damage the radio compass or
sending equipment. That was on
the captains last voyage.
They were afraid of almost
anything from Alagna, that he
might jam the radio apparatus.
The captain tod me to report the
slightest trouble. He was afraid
something was going to happen.
He, said he understood Alagra
was a vengefuE person and would
not trust him farther than he
could throw a rope.
The captain told me to repeat the
been an aitereatien between AL
agna and Warns and it had led
to bad feeling.
