German AirIines-
Preparations for Their Return Far ALonq:
Buying Modern Planes Is Big Obstacle
By Joachim Joesten

A new Lufthansa is in the

AS soon as the occupation

airlines will be in operation by
midyear.
Originally it had been planned
to make q start in civilian avia-
ton even before the end Of
1852. But the slow pace Of
ratification Of the peace con-
tract-the Parliaments of Ger

so there has also been an "un-

a boom year for this, or, per-

It lis obvious. for example,
that more long distance tele-
phone calls will be made on
Mothers Day this year than,
say, 1875. There are more
people to pick up the telephone
and call home to Ma. Besides,

Schools will take on more
pupils in 1853 and the pupils
will have more history to study.
More history is being made and
there are more historians to

large backlogs of orders on

The Germans, though they may

There's Still Hope at u. N.
By Ann cottreIl Free

Now that United Nations dele
gates from 81 nations have de-
parted from their 10 acres Of
international soil on the East
River. they ask themselves one
question: what have we ac-
complished SO far?" Obvious
ly, their satisfaction with the
session Is rated in accordance
with their aims. Thus, the
United States felt unhappy
about Korea. India and Pakis-
tan frustrated about Kashmir.
and the Arab bloc discontented
about Tunisia.
Nevertheless-even with all
the painful setbacks this session
there is still q spirit Of hope
abroad in the terrazo corri-
dors and streamlineo confer
ence rooms. OF course. q. N.
delegates from the demo-
cratic" nations and many MEM
bers Of the secretariat are de-
pressed. But few have given in

that the sum is being repaid in
annual installments. Then they
say, "An aircraft carrier costs
