Notable successes in publishing New Haven editions of the CRIMSON have spurred the editors to greater efforts than ever before, and 500 special copies of this morning's paper are being flown to the alumni dinner in Los Angeles. American Airlines is flying the copies there free of charge, and two of their most charming stewardesses will deliver them at the Ambassador Hotel tonight...

Ever since a McGinnis group won control of the Boston & Maine Railroad last April, the B. & M. president's chair has been empty, and McGinnis aspired to fill it, as he does the presidency of the New Haven. When he failed to show up before ICC Examiner Homer T. Kirby to push his application, his lawyer explained that he was busy 24 hours a day personally dealing with the New Haven's problems. Asked Examiner Kirby: "If Mr. McGinnis spends all his waking and sleeping hours running...
