Bartlett Seeks To
r Keep Open Marks
Air Force Base
(By Mary Lee Council)
WASHINGTON — Delegate
Bartlett has again urged Secretary
of Defense Johnson to withdraw
previous orders to close Marks Air
Force Base at Nome and to en
p large the base “so that it could be
used effectively to strike a blow
at an aggressor from across Ber
ing Strait.”
The Department of Defense an
nounced in January that the field
at Nome would be closed despite,
vigorous protests made by Dele
-f' gate Bartlett and others interest
1 ed. At that time, Delegate Bartlett
pointed out: “We are said to be
engaged in a cold war. A cold war
is carried on in many ways. Build
ing up of morale among people
disposed to be friendly and giving
them economic assistance are cer
tainly two approaches. Conco
mitantly, the United States, I
should think, cannot well afford
to leave itself undefended physi
cally. I charge that the withdraw
al from Marks Air Force Base at
Nome could well be termed a con
fession of weakness on our part
and may so be regarded not only
among our own people but those
living in other lands. It is not so j
much that Marks Base is a great
military installation, but it pos- j
sesses a significance aside from
size and strength in that it is our
only military establishment on i
the entire Arctic coast. It is only j
minutes away from Siberia by;
plane, and it is probably entirely j
safe to say that no bases are be- 1

In reitering his belief this week
that the base should not be aban
doned, Delegate Bartlett declared
to Secretary Johnson: “Now that
we are engaged in a war in Korea
and now when we must appre

aimed at Alaska, it seems vital
that this government not only
maintain an installation in north
western Alaska but that it be built
up.

For Rent Controls
WASHINGTON, ^—President
Truman today was reported con
