The questioning of Colonel Alison, an ex-Army Air Corps pilot, was brief and disinterested, until the end “Just a minute, Mr. Alison," Tobey’s sharp voice rang through the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee room ‘Where do you stand on the guestion of a chosen instrument ior overseas airline op- erations?” Alison gulped returned to the tableto face Tobey, who was actin as chairman. He could feel Brew- stef, leading Congressional expor ent of Pan American Airw chosen-instrument policy and great pal of Pan American, eyeing him But he gave Tobey the answer Tobey wanted “I do not think at this time that the chosen-instrument policy is a sound one for our country.” Brewster remarked upon Tobey's straightforward guestioning, but did not pursue the question so dear to the heart of Pan American Alr- ways.
