Hitler turned his back while the old man talked. The following year, Planck was removed from the presidency of the Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft (a scientific society).

...remained for Pennsylvania-Central's President C. Bedell Monro to epitomize, in his own person, the predicament of the airlines-and the industry. Monro took twelve pages of testimony to tell the commission that his shaky line needed a Government handout, and fast. But nothing the Government could do was fast enough for Monro. After he got back from testifying, his principal creditors got together and eased him out of the presidency. Operations Manager J. H. ("Slim") Carmichael, 40, onetime pilot, was upped into...
