Carloads of pro-control mail have cascaded into Washington. Senators whose mail had run 100-to-1 against gun laws now found the ratio reversed. New Jersey's Republican Senator Clifford Case alone has received 11,000 letters since Senator Kennedy's death, 400-to-1 in favor of strong legislation.

New York's proposed superport in Morris County, N.J., is being blocked by protests. Last week the House Interior Committee, urged on by New Jersey Governor Richard J. Hughes, moved to make the Great Swamp area, where the field would be built, a wildlife preserve instead of an airport. Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley is contemplating a plan to build a 12.6-sq.-mi. airport on landfill in Lake Michigan, and Cleveland...

Born in Newark in 1906, he graduated from Penn in 1928, and Harvard Law in 1931, and became first a labor lawyer and later a judge in New Jersey.
