Depend on Authorities

We all depended upon the will ingness of our authorities to furnish the newspapers—that is to) say, American readers — with enough airplanes from our. vast array of aircraft to ferry news back to Africa. We needed three fast planes to | handle all the news that our group {could write. We lose that number of aircraft in one minor engagement, and it was reasonable to think that (the publicity-conscious army, con{sidering the fact that Americans de{mand and deserve news of what our {people are doing abroad, would not {think twice about it. As a matter of fact, we have never {been givep regular courfer service for our stories. They now go by {airplane from here to a psot in {Sicily where they are generally kept {from 10 o'clock one morning until] {early the following day, whereupon | they are ferried on to America and | |delivered at a transmission center | 136 hours after they leave here.

LOWER PRODUCTION COSTS SAVE BILLIONS
