Touted enthusiastically by sponsors and press as the "greatest," "biggest" airport, New York City's new terminus lags far behind Boise's (Idaho) 8,800-ft. runway; Berlin's 14-minute convenience from Templehof to downtown and London's new Lullingstone Airport's area-700 acres. But none of these has New York's seaplane facilities which might swell the total of all air passengers into New York to 1,000,000 a year instead of the 300,000 that now pass through Newark.

Soon he was put in charge of Bund propaganda activities. Back in Chicago fortnight ago Metcalfe exchanged notes with Brother James Metcalfe and Mueller, who had also done extensive prowling among German-Americans.

Last week New York's Bishop William Thomas Manning, who faces a convention fight if his rigid ideas on marriage and divorce are to prevail over those of churchmen who would liberalize Episcopal canons, let loose a blast at the C.
