P). ~The war department will announce a new speedup program this week for the economic rehabilitation of the British-American sone in Germany.

~The’ tion's determination to' get Germshy's economy back on its feet has been strengthened, it was said, by the recent Communist coups in the Balkans. The new plan is aimed at rehabilitating the Germany economy as quickly as possible without, however, rebuilding her military potential. The program Mr. Petersen is to outline probably will include: ONE: Allocation of 78 American Liberty ships to Germany on a temporary basis to be operated by

would permit American businessment to set up new trade with that county. It would enable the Germans to pay for their imports eventually, starting in about three Years. THREE: Payment for increased imports to Germany out of future net exports of that country. These payment are to be made before any repargtions or other payments to) pther nations. . * FOUR: Incredsed Anglo-Ameri-

.| can exports of fertilizer, seed and

petroleum products to help rebuild Germany ,

FIVE: Increase of rations for the average German, effective Oct. 1, from the present 1550 to 1500 calories a day. Also additional supplementary’ rations for laborers and for the aged. . a SIX: Efforts to stabilise German currency and finance. SEVEN: Increase in the German level of industry so the city dweller will have something to give the farmer in exchange for food. The

produce has been one of the major food problems.

Local Airport Taps New Income Fields

Airlines Now Pay Only 22% of ‘Take’

By JACK THOMPSON { Weir Cook Municipal airport is!

the United States to delve into the egonomics of airport operation, { Prior to 1946 airlines paid in more than 50 per cent of the income of the loeal port. Since then revenues from fixed-base aircraft operators and non-aviation sources have increased so sharply that ihe airlines pay only 22 per cent of the annual “take.” i Fixedbase operators now are sup-

come as the airlines. Sources such: as concessions, ve machines, | limousine, ‘taxicab and rent-a-car services and land rentals (the airport’ has more than 300 acres of land in farms) fufnish the remaining 56 per: cent. : i Gates Open te Public_ One of the first things P. H. Roettger, airport * superintendent, did when he took charge of the airport was to téar down the wartime “no era” signs and open the gates to the public. i As a result more than a million people visited the termina] last year. And for the first time, said Mr. Roettger, the visitors had adequate parking space. { A-national advertising program is

Recently an econairlines

Many letters have been feceived from airport superintendents at other fields complimenting the Indianapolis airport on courteous, pleasant and co-operative service. Mr. Roettger said he has a number of ideas for future sources of revenue. He wants a dime turnstyle for spectators, like those at Washington National airport and; La Guardia field. He also thinks a well-equipped, air-conditioned bar in the terminal building would pay.
