S. rubber as against 55% two years ago. Akron rubber workers, however, still cling to their high wage rate (an average of $1.05 an hour...
...making a fine airport even finer, Washington could do no better last week than agree to regulate traffic around its 140-acre Hoover Field "to prevent collisions." Too close to military fields, cut in half by a public road, overhung by high tension wires, a bluff and an omnipresent Goodyear blimp, airline pilots last year protested to the Bureau of Air Commerce against Washington airport's further use for big, modern transports, threatened to quit landing there in 60 days. This speeded bills to enlarge the port, which were vetoed by President Roosevelt on the ground that no private...
