Two Lees Lose Federal Air Posts in Aviation Shakeup
James Marlow reports on two men named Lee, Josh Lee and Frederick B. Lee, who lost key civil aviation posts. Josh Lee, a Democrat, left the CAB as his term ended. Frederick B. Lee, a Republican, was forced to resign as head of the CAA amid friction with Secretary Weeks and political maneuvering over aviation policy. The episode sparks Senate inquiry and charges of partisanship and power struggles in shaping U S civil aviation.
