...Hughes F-11, he said, had been ordered by General Arnold as the best plane available at a time when makeshift photo-reconnaissance planes were taking heavy combat losses. Low priorities were primarily responsible for Hughes's failure to deliver. Elliott Roosevelt was "well qualified" to recommend the plane. Although the plane had been ordered over the opposition of the Army's technical command, there had been no favoritism.

...could be blamed on the police rather than on any racial group. The force has had four chiefs in five years. Its merit system doesn't work.
