Oalewood Phone 2-3451 Air Transportation Joins Billion Dollar Industries In U. IT. S. commercial air transportation in 1951 joined the ranks of the billion dollar industries, according to Dr.

Lewis C. Sorrell, director of research of the Air Transport Association in his annual year-end review. This year ATA included about 50 irregular service lines as well as the 16 domestic local lines, and four certificated cargo lines in its summary of "the commercial air transport industry." Three territorial carriers and the Alaskan airlines other than Pan American were excluded. Passenger traffic accounted for 80 per cent of the $1,043,324,812 total operating revenues, which were 21 per cent over those of 1950. Nearly 25 million passengers piled up more than 14 oillion passenger miles in 1951-- a gain if 29 per cent over 1950.

U. S. scheduled airlines alone collected more than $67 million in transportation taxes for the Federal government. Only mail showed declines in revenues although it increased 26 per cent in volume. The 16 domestic traunk lines estimated mail NINE-A compensation at $38,230,000 in 1951 as against $46,311,000 in 1950.

Mail volume increased from 46 million' ion-miles 63 million ton-miles. MONUMENT TO DEPRESSION The Beckley-Mount Hope airport is a monument to the great depression. It was built and developed mainly through funds made available by Federal agencies set up to help relieve the na-" tian's unemployment problems at that time. Ft. McHenry, the birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner, is now a national shrine.
