Said forthright Captain Gill Robb Wilson, former National Aeronautic Association president and onetime Lafayette Escadrille pilot, in his copyrighted New York Herald Tribune column this week: "An International Air Conference is due to open around Japanese cherry blossom time.

Bohn, onetime teacher and Socialist lecturer, writes most of the editorials and a chatty, personalized column-"so there'll be something the working man can understand." Daniel Bell, 24, who was a working Socialist on Manhattan's lower East Side at 13, is an associate editor. Another is tall, grey, ex-Communist Listen Oak, who was "disillusioned" by a trip to Russia and by experiences...
