Prime recommendation of the Baker Board last summer was immediate organization of an independent General Headquarters Air Force composed of all Army Air Corps tactical units under a separate commander.

Coming from Perth Amboy in Middlesex County, however, he will have no great local influence with the jurors in Hunterdon County. Last week he charged an attempt...
