WORK PROGRESSES ON NEW RESERVOIR
Considerable Headway Is Made During Past Month,
 Despite Rain

On the basis of the progress r'ade during May despite the many days of rain, City Engineer Charles A. Root informed the finance board yesterday that he fels that the bulk of work to be done by L. G. De- Felice & Son, Inc, in building the third reservoir for the city will be accomplished by September l, said Controller Cornelius F. Maloney to- day
 The board asked MT. Root to re- port yesterday afternoon on the progress made since the last time the engineer met the board six weeks ago, he added, pointing out that the board expects to keep close watch on the construction in view of the fact that the project is far behind the original schedule of last November. However, the lack of manpoWer, materials and supplies disrupted the schedule, he said
 A petition has been given the board of works requesting a 300-day extension on the contract, and ac- tion is expected in the near future. However, under the original con tract the firm must pay the city $50 a day for each day between the time the work was supposed to be accomplished and the day it actu- ally is completed, said MT. Ma,oney
 At the present time dry weather should make it possib~ he firm to make great prOoreSs in the earthern embankment, ,3e pointed out. Meanwhile, the bonding com pany established a new schedule for the contractor to follow which de- mands rush in the work so that the job will be completed at least by September l of this year, and according to Engineer Root, it ap- pears that the new schedule will be met, he concluded.

Arrangements for the dlVlslOn'S Harry J. Collins and his staff and officials of the Rainbow Division Veterans Association, including President Albert Hoyt and Past Presidents Matthew A. Finley, Ruby D. Garrett, Barre Blumenthal and Fred Crawford, Jr.
 The War Department has set July IA as mobilization day for the new diyision-official the 42nd h. fantry Division, which, like its pre- decesSor, will be made up of men from all parts of the country.
 The date and hour, 11:45 D. m. was chosen to permit the Rainbow veterans to celebrate their memo rial ceremony, known as the Champagne Hour," in the pres ence of the Division at Camp Cru der, Okla. It was at that hour that the Battle of Champaigne began.
 Interstate Commerce Commis- sioner J. Monroe Johnson, former colonel of engineers of the Divi- sion, will be master of ceremonies for the event.
 In the Aisne-Marne campaign of July, 1918, called by the French and British the Second Battle of the Marne, the Rainbow performed many deeds of gallantry. The Rain bow left an imperishable record in the Champagne and Sedan areas, at St. Michiel and in the MeuSe- Argonne campaign.
 It was the only American division to withstand the German attack at Champagne on July IA and 15, 1913. With the French, the division launched a counter r-offensiVe and drove the Germans to Sedan-and the Armlstice.
 Five Congressional medals of honor were awarded to members of the old Rainbow including the then It. Col. William J. Donovan, who later commanded New York s famous 69th Regiment.
 A sixth medal has since been awarded to Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, who commanded the Divi- sion in the days of its greatest records. His medal came, however, after the Philippine campaign in the present war.

cials say goods will get going by air cargo express within two hours after it is ordered.
 TRAFFIC WILL BE TRIPLED
 Mayor LaGuardia, & few months ago, said scheduled flights begin ming and ending at the terminal will reach the staggering number of $50 daily-and officials now can that a very conservative figure. LaGuardia Field at peak does 325 operations a day; and the new base is designed to handle eventually five times as much traffic. Four thous- and passengers now are accommo- dated in LaGuardia Fields peak day. A federal official recently esti- mated 17,500 will be New York's daily postwar load.
 Hundreds of pilots, city planners, airways executives have a hand in keeping the blueprints up to date under the direct supervision of Mayor LaGuardia; his Department of Marine and Aviation head, Com missioner John Mckenzie; and his Aviation Director, Major Elmer Haslett. The Mayor jokingly re- marked that LaGuardia Field was outgrown before it opened in De- cember 1939 Within about a year, the U. s. Navy began negotiating for the city's other field, Floyd Bennett, and LaGuardia set his Marine and Aviation Department to hunting seriously for a site for a new base. They found this one at Idlewild, a bleak stretch of marsh surrounding golf course on Jamaica Bay.
 Tentative plans were drawn in December, 1941. Dredging and fil- ling the 2,500-acre site began IS months ago. The former swamp is now raised about 12 feet above sea level. Over 20000,00O cubic yards of sand have been sucked in water from the bay bottom, carried ashore in huge pipes on pontoons, and dumped.
 Estimates of final cost vary, but experts say 1t will not run to any, thing like five times the cost of LaGuardia, around $50,000 900.
