Busy N.Y. Mayor
Uses Helicopter
New York, Aug. 23 Busy
Mayor William O'Dwyer kept a
date yesterday by helicopter.
He finished a ceremony on
Staten Island and was due for
a Manhattan meeting in 15 min
utes.
The Staten Island ferry could-

he boarded a police department

police car then rushed him to
nearby City hall with two min
utes to spare for his date.
