MANY people joke about surgeons leaving assorted instruments in their patients. Not John Everard, 33, a worker in an airplane factory in Glendale, Calif. Shortly after Everard had undergone a gallbladder operation, he began to feel pains in his lower right abdomen. His physician assured him that his discomfort was normal and would soon disappear. It persisted; more than two years later, an X ray revealed why: Everard's surgeon had failed to remove a hemostat, or surgical clamp, which had lodged in his patient's abdominal cavity.

Chidlaw's successor: General Earle Everard Partridge, also 54, commander of the Far East Air Forces. An enlisted infantry soldier in World War I (St. Mihiel, the Argonne, Verdun), "Pat" Partridge re-enlisted after the Armistice, won an appointment from the ranks to West Point, joined the embryonic Army Air Service after graduation in 1924. A test pilot and flight instructor in the years that followed, Partridge never lost his love for flying as he rose to top command, e.g., Eighth Air Force in Europe, Fifth Air Force in Korea...
