New Haven, Conn, May I'm
another Of those strange wartime
condolences that have buddies
meeting In barracks and foxholes,
two alumni Of Georgetown Uniyer-
sity, class OF ~, both the sons OF
famous fathers, met each other to-
day for the first time In the Spe-
cial Service once Of the Army Air
Forces Technical Training Com
mand School at Yale University.
The two men, Aviation Cadet
Grover A. Whaler, Jr, son OF
Grover A. Whalen, former New
York City police commissioner and
Worlds Fair helmsman, and Avia-
ton Cadet Manuel r. IglesiaS, son
OF the late Santiago Iglesias, former
Resident Commissioner from Puerto
Rico IN Congress, met each other
when they came TO the ONCE TO re-
cure backnumber issues OF the Post
newspaper.
Although both had spent four
years together at Georgetown Uni
versity, located In Washington, ..
O., and had graduated on the very
same day, they had never met.
Recognition came when Cadet
Whalen remembered Cadet lglesias
from having seen him perform In
the great unbeaten frosh football
team OF 1889.
Iglesias' father was founder and
President OF the Socialist Party In
Puerto Rico, and recently had q
Liberty vessel, the s. 8. Santiago
Iglesias, named after him. In one
Of his Believe 1t or Not" cartoons,
Robert L. Ripley featured the fact
that each Of Cadet Iglesias' eight
sisters are named after his fathers
ideals-Light, Peace, Justice, Equal

and Victory.
Both cadets are taking the Com
munications course here at Yale,
and after successful completion OF
the course will receive commissions

CHICAGO UP After rs

oct. II.
Unless something else comes
up, elaborate ceremonies will
make the formal opening Sat

through the tubes the following
day.
And something else may come

a tunnel was built beneath the
Chicago River al Washington
street for cable cars. Engineers
and city fathers believed it
would be part of a city wide

Then, while the people waited,
authorities forgot about it.
In 1909 another subway plan
was presented. Nothing happen

the plans presented IN 1912,
1916, 1923 and 1880.
Finally. in 1897, a workable
presentation was put into oper-
alton. The government, through
PWA, contributed S18,000,OO0.
Dec. l8, 1893, bands played, peo-
