The new joint command is designed to speed up the airlift of U.S. troops to overseas trouble spots and to guarantee them close aerial support once they swing into action.

True worked in a shipyard, served as an aerial-gunnery instructor in World War II, acquired a small avocado ranch in the Pauma Valley. In 1953 some U.C.L.A. anthropologists interviewed local Indians, fired up True to publish archaeological papers in learned journals. In 1959 he sold part of his ranch for $10,000, let his wife and children...
