In Superman comics, when did the globe first appear at the top of the Daily Planet?

I already read about the origins of the Daily Planet in a wiki %26amp; on this site. I want to know when the Superman comic books began to draw the Daily Planet building with a globe at the top?|||AIRLINE JOINS FIRST GLOBE-CIRCLING AIR NETWORK



Delta Air Lines has become a major presence in California air transportation in the last few years. Now the company is positioning itself to take on the world -- and carry Los Angeles travelers and trade along.



The city figures prominently in Delta's global plan, and Ronald W. Allen, Delta's chairman and chief executive officer, is quick to point out the benefits offered to local business, travelers and shippers.



"In the past four months, we have inaugurated three ...|||The Daily Planet is one of Metropolis's oldest and most respected newspapers. [1] Its headquarters are located at 1000 Broadway in Metropolis, Kansas [2], next door to LuthorCorp Plaza [3] and across the street from the Ace of Clubs[4] . As of 2005, Pauline Kahn was the Editor-in-Chief. [5] Its slogan is "Straight from the Source." [6]



In 2007, Lex Luthor revealed that he had purchased the Daily Planet [7]. He has already started to exert editorial control over the paper. He hand-picked Lois Lane to write a flattering expos茅 about him, but when she instead threatened to detail his numerous crimes, he killed the story. [8] He monitors email and data communication of his employees. [9] He also fired several staff members, including Chloe Sullivan after she lied to him about a key that Lionel had left for her. [10] It is unclear if the Daily Planet's reputation will survive his ownership.



Since the disappearance of Lex, Tess Mercer has taken over ownership of the Planet. Tess then asked Oliver if he wanted to invest his own money into LuthorCorp in a merger deal with his own company, Queen Industries. He agreed and they announced the deal at a LuthorCorp board meeting to the dismay of Lex who used Winslow Schott to plant a bomb to kill Oliver and Tess. Tess wasn't present but Oliver suffered some minor injuries before getting revenge by killing Lex with his own weapon, Toyman.



The Daily Planet building's most distinguishing and famous feature is the enormous globe that sits on top of the building. The Planet accepts four high school students as summer interns from the state.[11]
