...Army, sick of its bargain, and having at last discovered that its soldiers were better trained at country training camps, wanted to sell the Stevens. This seemed stupidity compounded: where in this land of priorities could anyone possibly buy enough down-cushion sofas, good beds, copper and aluminum kettles and pans to refurnish the Stevens...
...leases on 206 of the 434 hotels that the Air Forces have taken over during the past year.* (The Stevens is the only hotel actually bought by the Army that is to be sold-the others have been converted into hospitals.)
