Flying coast-to-coast and point-to-point faster than men had traveled such distances before, he used to crow: "That's the way the airlines could fly this route if they'd take that outside plumbing off their ships." Recent years have seen most of Frank Hawks's speed records fall to Howard Hughes, but they have also seen the "outside plumbing" disappear from commercial aviation.

But the economists heard nothing the London Wheat Conference had not heard six weeks before: 1) to keep its "fair" share of the world agricultural business, the U. S. is prepared to take "aggressive action"; 2) the world would be a whole lot better if every nation had a crop-control program.
