...idea of manufacturing Dornier boats in the U. S. General Motors reputedly agreed to pay $250,000 to Dr. Dornier for U. S. rights (TIME, Nov. 4, 1929) but did not go beyond considering factory sites. Two four-motored Dornier super-Wals were imported and sold to Stout D & C Lines for use on the Great Lakes.

Since then subdued criticisms have been heard from time to time, occasional horrified ejaculations that a man with a gunner's heart had crept into the Society, was perverting its policies. Last year a pamphlet signed by the late W. DeWitt Miller, vice president of the New Jersey Audubon Society, berated large bird societies for neglecting their duties...
