Navy Subs Making
i Tests Beneath
Arctic Ice Cap
I -
VANCOUVER, B. C., (/P)—Arc
tic explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins,
said here Monday night that U. S.
navy submaries are undergoing
tests beneath Arctic ocean ice. He
made the statement in a speech to
the Northwest Aviation Planning
Council.
Wilkins predicted that in the
event of a future war, submarines
hiding under Arctic ice would be
used to control guided missiles. He
i said radar would be unable to de
tect the subs through the huge
thicknesses of ice.
They would carry radio-control
equipment, rocket bombs and bor
ing tubes to enable their crews to
reach the Surface, Wilkins pre- j
dieted. Such subs, he said, would
get 3,000 miles closer to target in
dustries, no matter which side
used them.
1 Wilkins said that in the new ver
I » .
sion of the “cold war,” bases
would be established on the sur
fact of the Arctic ice cap, which he
said is strong enough to support
them.
The explorer was the main
i speaker at Monday’s session, at
tended by nearly 300 representa
tives of all branches of the avia
tion industry. Delegates came
( from as distant as London.
In a talk yesterday, D. W. Rent
zel, civil aeronautics administra
tor, reviewed past progress in fa
cilitating U. S. and Canadian fly
ing and outlined plans for future
standardization and expansion.
He told of CAA plans for the
construction of 30 modern airports
in Alaska at a cost of $8,249,000.
He said only 67 civil airports
currently are reported to have suit
able facilities. These include 21
CAA intermediate fields, 30 muni
cipal airports, six commercial and
private airports and nine seaplane
bases. #
Rentzel mentioned Congression
al expenditure of $12,500,000 for
the construction of a class 5 airport
: at Anchorage and a class 4 at Fair
banks as part of the planned ex
pansion.
He said the CAA plans to build
12 new airports in Alaska at a cost
to the government of $7,000,000
j and to improve 18 airports with a
federal outlay of $1,161,000. He
said this program awaits the ap
I propriate modification and Terri
! torial legislation to permit Alas
i kan participation in the federal
! airport plan.
i Monday, Norman Allen, assist
I ant to the president of the Boeing
Airplane Co., said the American
aircraft industry mfist continue to
lean heavily on military production
to stay in business.
