Navy Asks For
Giant Radio Station
WASHINGTON. (/P)—The navy
asked Congressional authorization
yesterday to build a new high
power radio station in the vicinity
of Seattle, Wash.
Naval officers told the House
armed services subcommittee that
the station, estimated to cost $7,
000,000, is considered “one of the
most vital projects” in the radio
field.
An appropriation of $3,000,000
will be requested for the year be
ginning* July 1 to get started on
the installation.
The officers said the station
would be designed to serve the
fleet in the North Pacific areas in
times when the fleet must observe
radio silence.
It would operate on low fre
quencies and be constructed to
transmit messages on several fre
quencies simultaneously.

i WASHINGTON, (/P)—The U. S,
| is “in the midst of keen competi
L tion” for geophysical supremacy
with all the world” and particu
larly Great Britain, Finland, Nor
way, and the U. S. S. R.” Congress
was warned today by a Carnegie
Institute scientist.
“They all have established a
large number of geophysical ob
servatories and institutes,” said
Dr. John A. Fleming, “and it is up
to us to carry our share, it seems
to me, of investigations so that we
may provide against the future,
not only as regards progress, but
as regards protection.”
His statement, in support of the,
geophysical institute being built.
in Alaska, was published in hear
ings released as the House appro
priations committee introduced
the 1948 money bill for independ- j
ent government offices.
“Geophysics involves the nat
ural phenomena of the earth con
cerned with meteorology, rainfall,
flow of rivers, underground wa
ters, earthquakes, volca noes,
oceanography, the earth’s magne
tism, and radio communication,”
he explained.
The Alaska institute, a $975,000
project, will be given to the Uni
, versity of Alaska when it is fin
j ished, the committee was told. It
| was authorized by Congress last
| year, and the federal works agen
| cy asked $100,000 to begin work
on it.
