Archbishop Mooney is modest, good-natured, affable in dealing with churchmen of other faiths. In Rochester he drives his own automobile, plays golf in the 80s, stays...
...Ministers of Europe, the imminent likelihood of Soviet planes winging over the top of the world to the U. S. (TIME, May 31 et seq.), a development in air transport even more prodigious than Pan American's bridging of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (TIME, Dec. 2, 1935), revives the old bugaboo of Red Wings over Europe...
