Mr.. Pleven acted after the Ma

The Assembly turned down the

|CAA Weighs Plan to Charge
For Parking at National Airport

No decision has been reached,
the CAA spokesman said.
Estimates have been obtained
from five sources as to the lowest
rate at which such a plan could
be operated. The CAA did not
reveal any further details of the
proposal or say whether all or
part of the present parking spaces
at the airport would be let to a
concessionaire.
The spokesman said that, in
addition to the need for more
revenue for the airport, it was
thought that charge for parking
might help restrict parking spaces
to persons with legitimate busi-
ness at the airport.
The proposal under study ap-
parently would require payment
of a parking fee whether the mo-
torist parks to sight-see or to take

A Soviet economic party has
arrived in Genoa to speed up de-

The Russian orders-on "a

The largest order is for thermal
