...West German end, the two closest to Berlin in the central air corridor, and in Berlin, unobstructed Tegel Airport in the French sector. Using these three fields would avoid the 5,000-ft. climb to clear mountains, cut the average distance nearly in half, permit the planes to flow toward Tegel at a mere 500 ft., returning in a wide northern loop to approach their home fields from the West...
...mainly on one aircraft, the 270-m.p.h.. propeller-driven C-124, which can carry 25 tons. He would pass up some of the Air Force's faster, bigger, new turboprops on the theory that their higher speed would only complicate the job of maintaining a steady traffic flow on the short run.

Likely to replace it is a bill now being drafted by FDA with the more modest objective of regulating the flow of new drugs, testing their efficacy before they get to market, and encouraging prescription by generic names. But with Kefauver regulating the spotlight, a good many unknown and disturbing facts about drugs and the industry have come tumbling out into the open...
