U. S. Forces To
Defend All Alaska
Says Gen. Kepner
• ______
(Continued from Page One)
would be foolish enough to occupy
an isolated position where no real
tactical advantage results, though
he might conceivably do so for
psychological reasons,” the Gen
eral said.
“We cannot overlook the world
wide plan for defense, of which
Alaska is a part. In planning stra
tegic warfare the importance of
Alaska has not been overlooked. |
A portion of the overall defense of
the United States has been given
this command.
“Three years ago the Joint
Chiefs of Staff established a uni
fied command for this Territory
I and developed complete plans for
its defense.
“Alaska has great potentialities
as an advance base for the opera
tion of aircraft going in either di
rection.
“The distance from Moscow to |
Fairbanks is the same as fromj
Fairbanks to Mexico City.
“My job is to see that it stays in
the right hands and to . defend
Alaska. And that means—all of
Alaska. This I will do with the;
troops and equipment I have at j
my disposal according to my best
capabilities.
“We are no pushover right now.j
Anybody who thinks he can walk
in and take over the Territory is
in for a rude awakening.
“This force assembled for the
defense of Alaska is well trained,
very compact and capable. We will
detect, intercept, and destroy any
one who attempts to invade this
Territory or fly over it.

Ike May Be Made
Western Europe
Comm’nd’r in Chief
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Specula
tion increased today that Presi
dent Truman may appoint Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower to com
mand the projected international
army to defend Western Europe.
This talk is based in part on
what Mr. Truman said about
Eisenhower at his news conference
yesterday and in part on the fact
that Washington officials believe
a man of outstanding reputation
and proved ability should ge the
supreme command post.
The mere naming of such a
man, high officials say, would
help to create in non-communist
Europe a new sense of confidence
and progress toward real security.
Mr. Truman was asked at the
news conference whther he was

considering using Eisenhower for
some new job, probably in Europe.
He replied that Eisenhower is al
ways available at the President’s
call but that he has not consider
ed him because there is no ap
pointment to make yet.
The foreign ministers of the 12
; North Atlantic Treaty nations de
cided in New York earlier this*
week that Allied forces for the de
fense of Europe should be merged
