INDIA AIR LINERS

NEW DELHI, India -1ndi-
!, an air lines have established a
new world safety record, ac-
cording to statistics Of the civil
aviation department of the In
dian Government.
. Only two passenger fatalities
/. occurred in nearly 5000, 600
miles of air travel.
The report showed an in
: crease of 80 per cent in passen-
ger traffic, with 121, 060 passen-
. gers carried during the first
half of this year. During the
!. past six months, nearly twice
as much air freight was handled
by India's air lines as was car
ried during the whole of 1916.
The majority of the COM
mercial airplanes in use are
. twin : engined Douglas DC-3's,
plus a few British Vikings.
All larger cities of India are
linked with a network of air
lines surveyed and supervised
by the civil aviation depart
ment.
:. India's air lines played an i'm
portant part in evacuating the
refugees from the riot-stricken
areas. Schedules were tripled
and quadrupled in many in
. stances to handle the heavy in
crease in passengers, most of
whom had never been inside an
airplane.

No report of the terms to be
sought for the shipyard lease at
Wilmington was made.
Prior to today's meeting, how
ever, Page said that the chief
differences between the offered
terms and those the state wants
are:
Under the Maritime Commits
sion terms, the state was to pay
five per cent of gross receipts
annually; now the state wants
to pay five per cent of the net
receipts after deduction of OPP
Grating expenses.
Payment was to have started
after improvements were COM

wait until after paying for the
