Mass B-29 Flight
Reaches Japan
TOKYO, m—A flight of eight
from Fort Worth, Texas,
has arrived for a month’s training
mission in Japan. It is the third
such group sent here by the
United States strategic air com
mand for exercises which include
long-range bombing missions,
n a v i g a tion, and surveillance
flights.
The planes are scheduled to de
part Aug. 1, Air Force Day, on a
one-stop flight to Washington,
D. C., via Alaska. *
highway and the influx continues
at a rate of from 30 to 35 cars a
day.
Its much easier to get a drink
here than a meal. The city has 20
liquor stores, 23 bars and 21 res
taurants. One of the city’s biggest
problems is a shortage of drinking
water.
Anchorage’s greatest contempo
rary pride is its new 1,000-seat
theater built by Capt. A. E. La
throp, of Fairbanks. It is without
doubt the finest building in Alas
ka and a visiting theatrical man
from Hollywood says its is the
“most modern theater in the
world.”
