A four-engined York machine lands at the airfield of RAF Gatow. She brings the millionth tonne. The Commander of the British airlift units, Air Marshal of Williams sat at the wheel. Quickly a short balance sheet: each ton flown to Berlin food has received two Berlin alive during the blockade. While air transport is increasingly expanded to Berlin from West of Germany, the police of the eastern sector further restricts traffic within the city. She erected roadblocks on the border of the Soviet sector partly were the torn up after roads leading West Berlin, partly made impassable by veritable barricades for vehicles. But Berlin is not isolated--to West Germany remains. So, the Bureau of the German Städtetag in Berlin for a meeting came together. Berlin's Mayor Professor Ernst Reuter, welcomed his colleagues, representatives of the German cities. The visit of the composer Paul Hindemith, who gave a concert with the Berlin Philharmonic took greatest interest.

The occasion is no stem Assembly, no wedding and not a market day. They promised them a completely new sensation. A transport plane takes the first sheep who will be here from Australia. Sheep and natives meet initially with slight suspicion - but that will change. The natives learn to breed sheep to shear the wool and apply later even farms. The great experiment, which launches Australia, is To give a new life Foundation the Valley of eternal spring. The chiefs of New Guinea soon swap holding sway with the crook.

03. Ruhr area: performance curve rising coal and steel production on the rise All the time. Time and again, the Ruhr area reports new performance improvements. With 328,000 tons daily average, the coal has reached its highest level of the war. An impressive number that identifies the rise of German economic power. As the industrial heart of Germany and Europe is the Ruhr area of crucial importance for the European reconstruction programme. To make them subservient this tremendous economic arsenal for the peace and progress of Europe is the purpose of the Ruhr Statute promulgated by the Western powers. A control authority will oversee production and distribution with representatives of these Nations and Germany. Steel production was at the beginning of the year about 650,000 tonnes of crude steel per month. Almost 40,000 tons are more than in last December. In addition to the satisfaction of the German demand is the coal export of great economic importance. Because the coal as foreign exchange provider in the first place. Coal are around 300 billion tons in the Ruhr area still in the womb of the Earth. This means work and coal for another 2,000 years. An inexhaustible richness that makes the land between the Ruhr and Lippe becoming a decisive factor for the future of Europe.

04. sports: the preliminary round games to the Cup are discharged a. English football in England at the time. The sympathy of the sports enthusiasts is enormous. One of the most exciting fights was the meeting of Liverpool (white trousers) against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

After the break, Liverpool strives to enforce the compensation. And it succeeds! 1: 1 is the game. Wolverhampton then attaches to the final sprint. As it happened: 2: 1 for Wolverhampton.

05. streiflichter from Germany: a. Mittelland Canal Bridge is again in operation of the Mittellandkanal over the Weser bridge destroyed in the last days of the war. By blowing up the Canal Bridge at Minden, Weser and Canal were blocked for a long time. In cooperation with German and English engineers this important connection piece of the Canal across the river Weser has been restored now. The water of the channel is embedded into the trough of the new bridge. The main artery of the Central German waterway system works again. About 50 million tons of goods are transported each year on German waterways. A big part of it now make its way across the Canal Bridge at Minden.
