...House Appropriation sub-committee dealing with military affairs last week had Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh interrupt his study of U. S. air facilities (TIME, May 8) to tell (in secret session) what he knew about aerial Europe.

The German planes he saw were not so elaborately made as U. S. craft, could not haul bombs across the Atlantic. He told so little (scarelines in newspapers notwithstanding) that...

The J. & L. researchers guarded their secret vigilantly, declared darkly not long ago that two other companies had tried to swipe...
...Authors.

But Charles Beard is the solid head historian of the history-writing Beard family (Daughter Miriam: A History of the Business Man; Son William: Government and Technology; Son-in-Law Alfred Vagts: The History of Militarism...
