Povich reported that Marshall "left town, bag and baggage." Soon after Retired Air Force General Elwood R. Quesada, former chairman of the Federal Aviation Agency, bought into the Senators in 1960, the Post's Povich, egged on by Post Publisher Philip Graham, began complaining. Povich thought that baseball was too important to be entrusted to generals.

Investigators from the Federal Aviation Agency, Civil Aeronautics Board and FBI arrived like an army at the crash sites. From Dayton, Ohio, where he had just delivered a speech honoring the Wright brothers, FAAdministrator Elwood Quesada sped to New York to direct the investigation.
