Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Tedder forged air power in war
Quiet sardonic scholar born 1885 in New South Wales, Tedder joined the Royal Navy in 1904 and earned RAFs oldest pilot certificate. As deputy Allied commander he shaped tactical and strategic air forces, helping drive Rommel from North Africa with Allied troops.

Avery Flags Labor Boards Seizure as Illegal and Unconstitutional
WASHINGTON AP Avery, chairman of Montgomery Ward, accused the National Labor Relations Board and the War Labor Board of conspiring to seize the Chicago plant to enforce orders he calls illegal and unfair. He told a House committee Roosevelt exceeded authority, and soldiers ejected him when he refused to leave. He charged NLRB gerrymandered units to back a union, WLB violated the law by granting a contract without proof of representation, and both boards blocked court hearings while trying to impose their orders by force.
