N. E. Must Be
 Air-Minded

Boston, Nov. Frederick S. Blackall, Jr., newly elected presi- dent of the New England Council, declared today that New England must be air minded to assert its rights" in this day of rampant sec- tionalism."
 Addressing the final session of the councils third New England conference, he said New England must be intelligent in planning and maintaining its competitive posi- ton, consumer conscious in shouting New England'S wares and vigorous in asserting the rights of the re- zion.
 of course, we must fight tooth and nail political proposals such as those of Senator McCarran for pen alizing industry in the northeast, '' he said, but there is less danger to New England in crackpot political proposals than in failure to put New Englands house in order and make New England competitive. , The president-treasurer of the Taft-Peirce Mfg. Co.,, of Woon- socket, R. l., added that it was vital to the region to have the best in transport faciliteis.
 "The railroads have been win us for century or more, and l haven't the least doubt that they will be a vital element in the transport o1 the future" Blackall said. But nc railroad man, no interstate trucker and no sea captain of vision will argue that air transport is not en- tering a phase of tremendous de- velpoment; and while it is in the embryonic stage, it is important that we make sure that New Eng land shall share in this develop 1 mentn
