...time of the Key West agreement, the Army had about 200 aircraft, used mostly for liaison and artillery spotting. Today it has about 4,000 (helicopters, light planes, transports) and is grasping avidly for more, which it says it needs to provide airlift and close support for its divisions. Lieut. General James Gavin, farseeing chief of Army Research and Development, says that "20,000 planes for the Army might not be enough."

Di Salle (5 ft. 5 in., 212 Ibs.) gathered more votes than his four Democratic opponents combined, while State Attorney General C. William O'Neill (5 ft. 5 in., 160 Ibs.) drubbed Lieut.
