...Senior who is willing to cram for divisionals at midyears and to do extra reading for special exams or, papers which equal the work of the second half-year. In addition, the College may find other ways of giving legitimate course credits--for example, 1938-39 English 'A; CAA work done before it counted for credit, work done in the army after actually leaving Harvard--engineering or flying training being the equivalent of courses in college. Failing this, a degree-bound Senior could do some study in absentia and get his diploma later. Everyone won't be on active duty...

Airline men had found that the supervision of CAA and the 'crash board' was hard-boiled but good; the lines had set an unprecedented record of 15 months' operation without an accident. Since the change there have been four fatal airline accidents, a fifth in which an airliner was destroyed...
Nevertheless, Nevada's Pat McCarran, author of the old CAA act, trumpeted on the floor of the Senate: "This legalized murder should stop." He sat tousle-headed and glaring while bumbling Alben Barkley tried to defend Franklin Roosevelt's reorganization of CAA which abolished the crack, independent Air Safety Board.
