...Charles de Gaulle's R.P.F. (Rassemblement du Peuple Français) or the Communists? If the R.P.F. won, De Gaulle would sooner or later come to power and move against the Communists.

The scheduled lines' weapon was a rate war - the 12?-per-ton-mile tariff recently proposed to the Civil Aeronautics Board by American, United and Pennsylvania-Central Airlines. What roweled the independents was their firm conviction that the scheduled lines could do the job only with the help of their Government "subsidies" in carrying air mail...
