Reich May Get Cotton
To Help CIothe Europe
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Germany may become an outlet
for a part Of this countrys surplus
of low-grade cotton.
The Government is considering
ways of placing at the disposal of
German textile mills a part of the
$500 900 bales of such cotton the
Government acquired before the
war under its price-support pro-
gram for growers.
The objective is to help defeated
Germany get back on its economic
feet and to provide more cotton
clothing for needy Europe.
The big problem in the program
now under study is financing. One
suggestion is. that the cotton be
made available to Germany by
means of loan provided either by
the Export Import Bank or the
Commodity Credit Corp. The lat
ter agency holds title to the Gov
ernment-owned cotton.
Another proposal would involve
purchase of the cotton by UNRRA
which then would take payment for
the cotton from the Germans in the
form of textiles for relief of other
European countries.
The Export-Import Bank last
night announced a 5000, 600 loan to
Finland to be used to buy $4,000
bales of cotton.
Under terms Of the loan to Fin
land, purchases will be made by
private importers directly from
American shippers.

Seen on Rental of
Proposed Facilities
By w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.

Plans for a $4,000, 900 expansion
program at Washington's federally
owned and operated National Air
port were announced today by the
Civil Aeronautics Administration.
Although the CAA will give fur
ther consideration to details of the
plan before making formal recon-
mendation, it was pointed out most
of the proposed new facilities could
be rented tomorrow at profit to the
Government.
The five-year-old airport, consid-
cred the worlds finest at the time
Of its completion, already is suffer-
ing growing pains from crowding
the expanding airline activities into
quarters whose designers had to keep
an eye on the Budget Bureau while
planning for the future.
$4,000 Cleared in Year.
During the last fiscal year the
airport cleared more than $4,000
above maintenance and operating
expenses, and should do as we'll or
better this year, CAA spokesman
said. A portion of the CAA's overall
expansion plan already has been
approved by the House Deficiency
Committee with an appropriation o1

preparation would provide for foul

ected hangers has been contracted
for at figure which would amortize

quest soon for 100000 to build a

lines, which maintains its home
office, training schools and shops al
the airport, already has contract
ed for half the proposed total space
of 250,000 square feet. The CAA
said all the space will be rented in
advance before the item is SUBJ
mitted to the Budget Bureau.
Other Projects Planned.
Other projects planned by Mr.
Law include construction of a COM
plete shopping center, an exhibition
building for showing aircraft ac-
cessories, a 150-room apartment ho-
tel, extension to the hangar cafe
terra and 150-car garage.
A number of manufacturers are
interested in obtaining space in the
proposed exhibition building or an
adjoining area for the display of
new light planes. aircraft engines
and modern flight accessories.
The proposed apartment-hotel
would accommodate passengers in
transit who might wish to rest be-
tween planes, along with a number
Of airport employees, whose duties
require them to be on call at all
hours.
One of the most substantial i'm

system through an overpass over
the railroad tracks and Mount Ver-
non highway.
The overpass already is greatly
