Congress Must Give
Funds To Fortify
Alaskan Defenses
(By Charles Haslet)
<(£’) Special Washington Service)
WSHINGTON, </P)—Rep. Short
(R.-Mo.) said today the next Con
gress must provide more money
for national defense and strength
en defenses in Alaska and the
Aleutians.
Short is slated to head ihe House
armed forces commit'ee in the
new Congress if he wins re-elec
tion and the Republicans keep
control of the House.
’ The Missourian told a reporter
i he does not believe a war with
j Russia will come any time in the
i near future but “the United States
must keep strong.”
“We will have to provide more
money for aircraft and for larger
testing fields because of the power
and distance of guided missiles,”
he said.
“We must strengthen our de
fenses in Alaska and the Aleu
tians. We should enlarge, improve
and strengthen the airports in
Alaska and we must have ground
forces there too.”
Short announced he expects to
introduce a bill to establish a na
tional air academy similar to the
naval and military academies.
