Military Explains
“Defenseless
Alaska”
(Continued from Page One^
complications of carrying out the
program are these:
Money for building in Alaska
doesn’t buy as much as it does
elsewhere. A house that costs
$10,000 in the States, costs $50,600
or $60,000 in Alaska because of
transportation, materials and la
bor cost differences, a spokesman
said. The armed forces are tailor
ing some of their plans to fit re
vised appropriations.
The military estimates it costs
an average of $10,000 to house one
soldier, without his family, in
Alaska, but that by construction
of less durability the cast can be
cut to about $8,500. .
Most military installations in
the States are near large commun
ities, where housing is available
to some degree. In Alaska, there
is no comparable situation.
At present, the transportation
system of Alaska is also a handi-1
cap to the movement or supply of
any large military force. Rail and
highway facilities are few and
Submarine Death
Total Reaches 65
CHATHAM, England (A*)—Frog
men crawled inside the broken
submarine Truculent in Its ocean
grave Saturday and found no signs
of life.
Their report put the seal of fi
nality on a British navy statement
that there could be no hope for
the 55 men who were reported
missing when the underseas raid
er went down Thursday night in
the Thames estuary.
The toll stood at 65 lost and 15
saved. Ten bodies have been pick
ed up at sea. Some of the surviv
ors estimated that as many as 40
of the 80 spewed out through es
cape hatches into the icy waters.
Many were known to have been
swept away on the tide.
Divers and frogmen were try
ing to find the best way of raising
the sunken submarine, holed so
badly that it sank 60 seconds after
its collision with the Swedish
tanker Divina.
have to contend with deep snow
and storms.
Both the building and mainten
ance of airfields is expensive be
cause of the Arctic and sub-Arctic
conditions.

To Be Reduced

WASHINGTON, (/P)— Reduc
tion of army national guard
strength in all States and territor-1
ies except Alaska was announced
Saturday by the defense depart
ment. The cut involves 6,515 mem
bers of the Guard.
Maj. Gen. Kenneth F. Cramer,
chief of the National Guard bur
eau, said the States will have until
Feb. 20 to get -down to a 350,000
man ceiling, set by the current
(fiscal 1950) budget. The guard to
talled 356,515 officers and men on
Dec. 20, 1949.
Alaska is exempted from the
cut-back order because the Terri
tory -is 600 men under its tenta
tively authorized strength of 923.
