BLUETHENTHAL
FIELD LAUDED
BY AIR OFFICIAL
Number One Asset" OF
City, County According

Bluethenthal airport has been
lauded as Wilmington's and New
Hanover county's Number One
asset" by Charles E. Hanst. chief
Of the airport management and
operation division of the Civil
Aeronautics administration, Allan
ia, Ca, Airport Manager Jesse c.
Parker, Jr., reported yesterday.
Hanst, newly-appointed head OF
the newly-organized CAA division,
made an extensive survey OF the
entire huge airfield facility here
late last week, Parker said. The
local survey was n of a series
which Hanst will conduct in the
southe astern district to determine
the airfields' weak and strong
points with a long-range view to-
ward building up all the fields iato
modern, efficient air terminals.
Hanst was "'all praise and prac-
tically no fault-finding" during his
inspection Of Bluethenthal airport,
Parker said. He commended it not
only on It's Extraordinary size
but particularly on its Zine con-
dition."
The only adverse criticism Hanst
had to offer was on the lack OF
adequate facilities for handling
planes, passengers, and cargo
(which you will need when your
main line service starts booming,
Parker said.
The Wilmington-New Hanover
Airport authority is now preparing
plans for a $50, 900 improvement
program designed to eliminate
these inadequacies and make the
airport in reality what Hanst has
declared it already-the city's and
the couaty's Number One asset

NewNauaL Official Was Worlds Richest Baby'
By JOSEPH NOLAN

Newport, R. l., Oct. 29-(UP)- John Nicholas Brown of Newport admitted today he liked his new title of Assistant Secretary of Navy for Air a lot better than the one he's been stuck with for the past 46 years.
 That title was 'The Worlds Richest Baby" and Brown hopes everybody forgets it now that he is going to Washington. President Truman announced the appoint ment of the Harvard educated, Rhode Island socialite yesterday.
 T hope I've heard the last of that baby business" he sighed. Tt was no trouble at all acquiring that title, but it certainly has been job getting rid of it."
 How His Fortune Grew
 Investigation showed, however, that the new Navy secretary was unduly modest in talking about his sobriquet. Actually, he had his first million before he had his first tooth.
 Scion of one of New England s oldest families that had made its money in shipping and textiles, he inherited $4,000,00 from his fathers estate when he was only three months old.
 On his second birthday, Browns fortune was calculated to be $5,- 182,0O0, and by the time he was six, it had increased to more than $10,- 100000. When he was IA, an addi- tional inheritance of $10,000,000 from his grandfather-plus interest from his other holdings-gave him a bank account estimated at more than $22,00O,000.
 His family sent him to fashion able St. Georges School in New port and then to Harvard where he was graduated magma cum laude in 1922. Eight years later, Brown was married to Anne Seddon Kinsolving of Baltimore, daughter of a widely known Episcopal clergyman, the Rev. Dr. Arthur Barksdale Kinsolv- ing. They have three children.
 Shifted Allegiance to FDR A Republican in a Republican family, Brown shifted his political allegiance in 1882 to support the presidential candidacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the time, it was reported that even despite his 32 years, Brown would be given a dip lomatic post, but the appointment never materialized.
 He maintains homes in both New port and Providence, and his resi- dence on exclusive Ocean Drive here is one of the show places of the Summer colony.
 The appointment as Assistant Secretary of Navy comes as a chal- lenge, because Brown knows he will have to accomplish something worthwhile to make Rhode Island CTS forget 'The Worlds Richest Baby" title.
 Only the old timers remember it now" he smiled, but even that can be embarrassing at times"
