Europe by-pass New York for Midwestern airports-such as the Ferry Command's field just outside Detroit. Captain Wilson's words, and his presence at the Book-Cadillac Hotel, were part of a concerted campaign by Detroit aviation men to dramatize the city's postwar aviation possibilities...
...under way, no setup exists in North Africa to distribute them at the right prices. The price angle is important because French North Africa is suffering from serious inflation. Thus BEW last week was frantically teaching Army and Navy officers how to run rationing and price control, how to by-pass existing Axis-established laws when distributing U.S. civilian goods in Africa. This itself was a strange commentary on the Army's and the Navy's "Gauleiter" schools at the University of Virginia and Columbia, where the teaching has been directed at post-war occupation problems...

Then they would stand all too good a chance to by-pass or conquer Cyprus, to pierce the thinly held Syrian shore line by concerted sea, air and land assaults...
Eyes on Astrakhan.

The dream of old Navy men is always to devise official ways & means to by-pass the Secretary of the Navy and any other civilians on the staff. Apparently Secretary Knox's reorganization, after the admirals keelhauled it, would have left him out as definitely as a man overboard...
