The proposed Lake Erie jetport would take an estimated ten years to complete, the New Orleans jetport nine, and even Chicago's optimistic Commissioner Downes figures on a minimum of four to five years for his Lake Michigan airport.

Until the fight is settled, Electrical and Musical Industries, Ltd., which produces and markets the Beatle recordings in Britain through the Apple label, has frozen all royalties.
