Secretary of Commerce Hoover in a recent interview on the subject of Chi- cago's becoming the aviation center of the United States, said in part: "Chicago is the greatest airport in the world. This is the destiny of Chi- cago, already the greatest railroad cen- ter in the world, according to the plans for the immediate development of com- mercial aviation upon which the de- partment of commerce is now at work. "Chicago is to be the center of a vast network of air lines radiating in every direction to the far corners of the country. That the development will be of incalculable commercial value to Chicago is not doubted, for these air- ways will connect Chicago with a score of cities with an aggregate population of 25,000,000. It is going to mean big business for Chicago." Uncle of Frank Bersbach Passes Away in Ravenswood Funeral services for Oscar J.
