...successfully interwoven chain of command was partly responsible for the unity. Last week, for instance, the New York Herald Tribune's Russell Hill visited a "truly Anglo-American" air unit: "Here is an American group. The next higher formation is ... another group, a British one commanded by a British air commodore. This commander in turn is under another British officer, Air Vice Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham, head of the Tactical Air Force in Northwest Africa. Marshal Coningham is under American Lieut.

Such walls have never before been built-they are made of steel props interwoven with flexible laths of steel and paper, on which is sprayed gunite (cement shot from guns)-the whole only 2¼-in. thick. Architect Wright's plan for the Johnson Wax plant at Racine, Wis. in 1938 similarly set the Wisconsin State Industrial Commission on its ear. Its columns...
