Dear Monsieur Barbet:

This is a follow-up to my report of May 1, 1946.

On May 14, 1946, Subject was fired by The Flying Wheels Transport Company. I have tried to make discreet inquiries as to the reason, but each time have run up against a brick wall. No one there will discuss it, I can only assume that the Subject did something to disgrace himself, and they don't want to talk about it.

Subject is looking for another flying job, but apparently has no immediate prospects.

I will continue to try to get more information about why he was discharged.

Sincerely,

R. Ruttenberg

Managing Supervisor
