Construction Approval ph

| ‘Expected by Thursday

By JACK THOMPSON Plans are to put $4 million improvements and building at Weir Cook Municipal airport in We next seven years, » This spending program is expected to give the local field a great sendoff toward becoming the fifth largest alr terminal in the nation, A ‘master plan for ‘construction awaits approval of the city board of aviation commisisoners. Indications are they will approve the plan at a meeting Thursday, Indianapolis would spend $1% million on the project. The remaining $2! million already has been requested from the federal government but has not yet been obtained. Two New Hangars The program calls for a new terminal building, two new hangars,

three parallel runways, several miles)

of taxi strips and a number of appurtenances to these improvements. Estimated cost of the new terminal will be $750,000. Tenalive

plans are to join the present ad-| _ ministration building and the Roscoe |

Turner hangar on the east side of the field with the new building. If the above site is used for the new building, the two hangars will

be located immediately east of the! : elongated administration structure,

forming a “U”. The hangars will cost approximately $280,000. Extension of Runways Runways which will be paralleled gare the north-south, the northeastsouthwest and the southeast-north-west strips. This will cost about | $1,013,000, the east-west runway’ from 3800 to 8000 feet. Two miles of tgxi-strips will be built at a cost of $180,000 and the remainder of the $4 million will be used in improvements associated with these main projects. There are many reasons why th future looks bright for the Indian. apolis airport. It has unlimited space to expand. An adjacent railroad siding will enable increased commercial activities. Planes have no trouble landing or taking off because of the open approach zones. And its proximity to downtown Indianapolis makes for a thriving aviation business.

(Quiz Boy Patients

In Baby Slayings

MASSILLON, O., June 9 (U. P). —Police were. convinced today the murder of two baby girls at Massillon City hospital was “an inside b.” 4 disclosed they were questioning séven boy patients housed in a room adjoining the pediatrics ward. Poliee Capt. Clifford Davenport said he had abandoned a theory! that a maniac broke into the hospital to kill Diana Brand, 8- yo old, and Rosemary Morton, weeks-old. “The killings must have been done from the inside,” he said. “We have questioned three young boys who were under treatment in an adjoining ward Friday night] when the babies were murdered. We are still talking to four other! youngsters in the same ward.” ~ 24-Hour Guard

Officers were skeptical story of one 6-year-old tient who said he took the two babies from their cribs and dropped them on the floor before they were found dying with their heads bashed in. They said the youngster, under treatment. for a broken arm, had told several conflicting stories. It would have been virtually impossible for him to have pulled the babies from their cribs and later returned them with one arm, officers said. Capt. Davenport said, however, that marks on the heads of the dead infants indicated they had been pulled through the bars of their cribs. 3 Mayor Robert Seirich ordered a 24-hour police guard at the hospital after officials reported that parents with children under treatment were showing “some signs of panic.” Nine of 15 babies in the pediatric ward were discharged within 48 hours after the double murder was discovered, they said. A student nurse found the two babies lying at the foot of their cradles. They were still breathing but died moments later as the hospital staff adminjgtered oxygen,

Jewish Appeal Asks $55 Million More

The United Jewish Appeal today sent out an urgent call to American Jewry to raise $55 million needed to complete a $170 million fund for overseas relief. Lazure L. Goodman of Indianapolis attended a conference of the appeal yesterday in Wernersville, Pa. He, with other officials, stressed the necessity to meet the situation! created . by the liquidation of UNRRA. A total of 250,000 displaced Jewish persons now are, in dire want, they reported. The Appeal’s total collection for overseas causes to date amounts to $115. million. It is said to be the largest sum ever given by any voluntary relief organization. Gen. J. J. McNarney, former commander of the U. 8S. forces in Europe, warned the conference that unless larger funds are made available from private organizations for the relief of displaced persons during coming months, violent incidents may occur overseas. He predicted severe clashes, in that event, between internees and the. German population or between them and the American soldiers.
