AIRLINES SUPPORT PROPOSED CONVERSION BRADLEY FIELD

Promoters of the proposed post war use of Bradley Field as a com- mercial air terminal were assured the support of important Airline officials when it was recently an- nounced that the scheme had al- ready entered the plans of at least two such companies.
 A Hartford Springfield stop has been asked by the United and Eastern companies in request to the Civil Aeronautics Board for permission to extend their services whenever conditions permit. Rep resentatives of these companies say they had Bradley Field in mind when they amended their original petition to read, HI f I'd Springfield" instead of Hartford" in listing the new desired stops. Springfield has no airport that could accommodate passenger ser vice.
 One airline official is reported as saying that if the Bradley Field development is effected every com- mercial aviation company operat- ing in Southern New England will feel it necessary to include the terminal on it's schedule.
 This is all of more than ordinary interest to Bloomfield residents be- cause the general plan for the conversion of the field to com mercial purposes contemplates the building of a beautiful parkway from Hartford through Bloomfield to the airport.

Such candor endeared Boris to

could see his point. But there was
something else that was fascinat-
ing about him. For a man of his
rotund figure, he possesses a re-
markable grace with his hands
They are expressive hands.
UP POPS THE DEVIL
AS we watched them, we no.
ticed that they were twirling a set
of beads. However, we did not at
once ask what these beads were,
and so Boris began to twirl them
faster and faster, until there was
nothing else to do but ask.
What have you got there?"
The twirling stopped immedi-
ately. Boris smiled his cherubic
smile and began to draw the beads
affectionately through his fingers.
We saw that they were rosary
beads. Desc? Desc we're gibben

Boris lapsed into a lyric chop
ter about his past in Russia, under
the cZars. He mentioned the revo-
luton and told how he had to
flee the country; how he came to
America, and became musical di-
rector for Balaban q katz in Chi
cago, then conductor of the Or
chestra in New York's Paramount
theater, and finally was brought
to Hollywood to be musical director
for Paramount studio.
