Air Commander
Savs 100 Fighter
PI anes In Alaska
•
KETCHIKAN, (JP) — An Air
Force commander said Thursday
only 100 U.S. fighter planes are
based in Alaska and but 60 per
cent would probably be effective
in case of a sudden Russian at
tack.
Col. Thomas H. Beeson, com
manding officer of the 57fch Fight
er Interceptor Group, told the
American Legion’s 33rd annual
Alaska convention that Russia
could seize all but the major
air fields in Alaska anytime.
The colonel added, however,
that reinforcements could arrive
from the United States within 48
hours, and the four fighter squad
rons in Alaska are o*n a 24-hour
alert with planes ready to be air
borne within three minutes.
Col. Beeson urged the Legion
naires to organize civilian resis
tance for concerted action against
convention’s keynote speech as
the representative of Lt. Gen.
any enemy attack. He gave the
William E. Kepner, head of the
Alaska Defense Command.
Many primitive peoples do not
understand death as a natural
phenomenon and attribute all
deaths to accidents or sorcery.
