Prospects Look Good for New “Airline Through Indianapolis By ROGER BUDROW
THE NEW AIR ROUTE THROUGH INDIANAPOLIS, connecting Detroit with Memphis, New Orleans and Houston, is a good thing for this city and ought to be a Mey. paler for the airline, Chicago & Southern.
Getting ready for business June
1, the line has been making. test flights daily since the 15th of this month. It invited newspapermen along the route to take the trip to Detroit yesterday. From Indianapolis to Detroit took only a little more than two hours, counting stops at Ft. Wayne and Toledo. That's quite a contrast to the train trip, but then _ prices ’ aren't the same either, We _have long needéd a north“south "air route, When the civil aeronautics board held ‘hearings on the matter, six airlines scrambled to get the franchise. That would seem to prove the airlines think it can be a paying proposition, too. As a matter of fact, the revenue from the air express and air mail will. be substantial. That explains why some of the schedules, too early or too late to catch some
+ passenger business, will still be good
from Chicago & Southern's point of view, » ~ n EVEN BEFORE the war; Indianapolis industry had@ lot of business with Detroit, oledo and
Cleveland. The war increased” it. A good many businessmen have envied the local General Motors officials (Allison ‘and Chevrolet Commercial ©« Body), who have a private plane at their disposal for rush trips. Chicago & Southern, like other airlines now, is able to branch out because the army air force are returning to. them planes ““borrowed” early in the war. They aren't necessarily the same plane, but are the sanie type. Some are newer than regular airliners. They are C-47 transports, now a gleaming aluminum with the green and drab paints removed and with 21 cushloned seats replacing the “bucket seats.” » ~ » IF THIS COUNTRY’S air traffic is to boom, as it looks, we certainly can ‘use bigger and better airport facilities, The small “waiting room in the Indianapolis Weir - Cook municipal airport was crowded yesterday; so was Detroit's. + The plane couldn't land at Ft. ‘Wayne's municipal airport because it 18 in such poor condition. Apparently the city fathers there had expected to get the fine Baer field army airport by this time. There were’ comments, however, on whether Ft. Wayne could afford to maintain such an elaborate airport. When airports are built, stops are planned _ to serve Marion, -New Castle, Muncie and Anderson, Ft. Wayne's Baer field presumably can be used until the city gets it from the government, although a special stop was permitted yesterday, a 8 a CHICAGO & SOUTHERN was started by Carleton Putnam 11

He was .on the way back from Washington in 1934, after a futile try: for an air mail contract, when he heard the postoilice department had suddenly canceled all mail contracts. He made the most of the opportunity, had the low bid for the. Chicago, New Orleans route, and moved his' planes out “to the Midwest.

H. -Matzen, Purdue university extension economist, today advised Indian poultrymen to take advantage of 4he good market prices expected in the next few months for eggs and poultry and to produce all they cam of these products. .Matzen explained that egg prices would begin to move upward — in keeping with price ceilings, which will also rise—in early June.

WASHINGTON, May 23 (U.

The flat glass involved includes plate, safety, window, tempered and sheet glass. The National Glass Distributors association, Chicago, and its sectdtary, North Storms, were also made parties to the department’s. civil suit filed in the U. 8. district court in Toledo. The suit charged viola~ tion of the Sherman antitrust act.

Production, processing, distribution and sale of flat glass, Attorney General Francis Biddle said, was monopolized by a series of mergers, purchase and dismantling of competing plants and joint trade practices. These practices, he added, included division of territories and customers, limitation of production and price fixing: The complaint also charged that foreign competition was eliminated by an arrangement whereby foreign

PRIORITY GIVEN EUROPE RELIEF
‘Minimum’ Needs Should Be Met,. Says Truman.
By JOHN L. CUTTER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 23. — The needs of liberated Europe for food, coal and transportation received a presidential priority today. President Truman instructed the heads of four government agencies to grant whatever priorities are necessary to meet minimum civilian requirements of European allies. At the same time Britain announced a stringent food ration cut in order to feed liberated European countries. British Food Minister Col. J. J. Llewellin said the decision: followed discussions of the food crisis by British, American and Canadian officials in Washington. | The President acted on recom. mendations of Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, White House adviser who visited Europe recently for the late President Roosevelt,
Results Problematical
Mr, Truman addressed his instructions to Chairman J. A. Krug of the war production board, War Food Administrator Marvin Joves Solid Fuels Administrator Harold L. Ickes and Chairman Leo Crowe ley of the foreign shipments committee, - What the new priority may mean in actual shipments was problematical, however, It may call for a new review of government allocations. Mr. Truman instructed that priorities should be granted to the fullest extent possible in keeping with continued successful military operations. and waimtenance of essential domestic economy, The Rosenman report, released April 30 before the unconditional surrender of Germany, said that geriein types of food, coal and coal mining equipment as well as means | of internal transportation were the most urgent needs of liberated areas he visited. Food, coal and transportation are tight items in our own domestic economy, ever,
Ideas Differ
Dr. Dennis A. Fitzgerald, WFA member of Crowley's export committee, said he believed this country already is doing all it possibly can to help the liberated areas. “Of course, in the,light of the President’s letter, we wi]l re-ex-amine item by item the allocations and see if anything further can be done,” he said. “However, I doubt that this statement of policy from the President will change things radically.” . WPB officials said food and rail- || road. equipment appeared to be the most pressing needs in Europe, They believed the transportation situation could be relieved without affecting our own essential domestic economy.
