Lt Madsen Alive, Prisoner of Nazis In French Camp Welcome news was received Saturday by Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Madsen Sr., of Lake View, that their son, P. W. Madsen Jr., navigator navi-gator with the U. S. air forces in , England, is alive although a prisoner of the German occupation occupa-tion forces in France. A dispatch Monday told of the bomber which Lt. Madsen was navigating, having been sliot down over French territory, seven of the crew having been observed coming down in parachutes. The information was obtained through the International Red Cross, and relayed to the Madsen family by the adjutant general of the U. S. war department, stating that a letter of information informa-tion would follow shortly. Madsen was navigator " of th Flying Fortress "Hell's Angels" which ho?.ds the record for the greatest number of raids over Europe. The battered fortress was reported to have been on its last trip, before the crew was to have a leave of absence to visit the United States. Lt. Madsen has been decorated five times for meritorious service, receiving the distinguished flying cross, the air medal and three oak clusters. BOMB RAID (Continued from Page One) saturation of Dortmund in the Ruhr on May 23, when approximately approxi-mately 2,000 tons were dropped. Observers believed that the number of bombers over Duessel-dprf Duessel-dprf and Munster last night was not far from a .record for all types of aircraft on a single raid. The armada, which included almost al-most all the Australian squadrons in Britain, battered Dusseldorf for the 53rd time with all types of bombs ranging up to 8,000 pound blockbusters. TTrifi Explosions-- Returning crews reported blasts so terrific that ' it was quite clear they were too big even to have been causd by blockbusters." Volumes of black smoke spewed upwards at the planes, rolling up to a height of almost four miles. Crews said that at the outset, the anti-aircraft fire was not suficient to protect the complicated compli-cated maze of defenses in the heart of Germany's industry. After the first few bombs were dropped, however, a "fairly intense" in-tense" barrage met the raiders until it was overwhelmed by sheer weight of explosives.

Senator Thomas Speaks Against Anti-Strike Bill (Continued from Page One) bill would create a "serious break" in the country's labor relations. He said the bill would "move one step away from the voluntary system of . labor relations in America." He said the anti-strike measure ran counter to the industry labor voluntary no-strike, no-lockout no-lockout pledge and would take away the laborer's lawful right to strike "the only weapon he has when negotiations has failed." fail-ed." The army, navy, maritime commission, com-mission, and war production board have gone on record against the measure, he added, because they believe it will contribute to "unrest "un-rest and ill feeling" that mignt affect war production. "You can't bring about production produc-tion with unhappy workers," W asserted. "By breaking down the voluntary system of labor- relations rela-tions you are inviting it." Four members of the senate conference committee which worked work-ed out the final version of the bill dispute Thomas' contention that it opened the way for resort to court injunctions in labor disputes. dis-putes. Sen. Tom Connally, D.f Tex., author of the original bill, said it gave no jurisdiction to thd courts, except in one case. That simply provided civil action for damages to anyone who suffered because a "person under duty to perform an act" under the bill failed to do so, he explained. . He was supported by Sens. Carl Hatch, D., N. M., Warren Austin, R., Vt., and-John A. Danaher, R., Conn., senate conferees. Connally asserted the measure was no reflection on "the laborer and the union man who is doing his job." "It's against the outlaw," he shouted, "just like pur other laws are against burglars, forgers, and murderers." Sen. Joseph Guffey, D., Pa., opposed the section banning political poli-tical contributions by unions and read in the record a report of Republican campaign expenditures for 1940 filed with the secretary of state of South Dakota showing that the Mellon family and the DuPonts made "generous" contributions contri-butions to campaign funds in that state. Two contributions of $4,000 and $5,000 were made by Mellon representatives, and the LaMont DuPont family contributed $4,000 Guffey said. Connally expressed the belief that President Roosevelt will sign the measure "and make it the laSv-that there shaH be no interruption inter-ruption of our vital industries for the duration of the war." The bill provides presidential authority to seize any plant, mine or facility useful to the war effort ef-fort which is threatened with interruption in-terruption because of a labor dispute. dis-pute. It provides a $5,000 fine and one-year imprisonment for any person who so much encourages interruption of work -after the government 'has taken possession.

Victory Formula Found For Defeat Of Enemy Submarines in Atlantic SOMEWHERE IN ' GREAT BRITAIN, June 12 Cii The formula for defeat of enemy submarines sub-marines in the Atlantic has been found and is being applied with success," a high British naval officer offi-cer told this correspondent today. The battle of the Atlantic recently re-cently has taken a most favorable turn for the allies. In some periods of several days, no sinkings of allied ships ' were reported. On other days there were only single sinkings. "It would be jumping to conclusions con-clusions to claim that the U-boat crisis has been averted or the battle bat-tle of the Atlantic permanently won," this officer said. "But the record for April and May shows that we now know what it takes to defeat the U-boat packs. All we LAMPEDUSA (Continued from Page One) were seen on Lampedusa at 6:20 a. m. An Allied officer landed to investigate, the agency said, and after receiving confirmation " of surrender, Allied forces occupied the island.) Lampedusa is 136 miles from Sicily; 84 from Pantelleria; 100 from Malta, and 90 from Tunisia. Its population is about 3,500, normally, including about 700 convicts. It has an airfield on the southwestern south-western slopes of a rugged mountain moun-tain range which is two miles long and a mile wide. The reduction of Lampedusa was begun by Allied fliers who, without pause for breath, changed targets in mid-air Friday when they heard- of the fall af Pantelleria Pantel-leria and swarmed southeast toward to-ward the new objective, Within 90 minutes the big new push was in full swing and seven to nine Axis ships were damaged in its first hours. - Throughout the afternoon and night the spear-shaped island's 15-odd square miles were kept quaking under a cascade of bombs, including two-ton "blockbusters" "block-busters" dropped by RAF Wellingtons.

The United Nations in April and May for the first time achieved the desired number of escort units for Atlantic convoys to enable equal attention to be given those two aims: The timely arrival of the convoys and the destruction cf U-boats. Previously limited escorts had been forced to stick to the convoys instead of relentlessly pressing home attacks on submarines which had been contracted. Recently, however, as an example of the changed conditions, one escort craft was able to maintain contact con-tact with a deeply submerged submarine sub-marine for 14 hours, finally destroying de-stroying it, without having to s- against the small garrison "who rejected-' an offer to surrender, and is continuing heroic resistance." resist-ance."
