Officials at Newark Airport were informed one night by their Baltimore dispatcher that Wallace Groves on the northbound Florida plane was in danger of being shot when he alighted at Newark...
...trip will be possible after April 28, when Pan American Airways begins flying passengers between Manila and Hong Kong (TIME, April 5). It can be made in 19 days.
