325th Fighter Wing
May Go To Moses
Lake, Wash.
((/P> Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, </P) — An air
force official said it has not yet
been definitely determined whe
ther the entire 325th all weather
fighter wing will be transferred to
Moses Lake air force base, near
Ephrata, Wash.
One of the three squadrons that
make up the wing may remain at
its present base, Hamilton Field,
San Rafael, Calif., or be assigned
elsewhere.
Assignment of the 325th wing to
Moses Lake, and the reopening of
that wartime training base within
the next 45 days, was announced
by the air force.
Hamilton Field will continue to
be used by the tactical command
but there may a short lapse of
time before another unit is as
signed, the official said.
The air force, he added, is weigh
ing the advantages of sending the
whole 325th wing to Moses Lake
for an indefinite period of train
ing against sending two squadrons
of the 325th and one squadron of
an undesignated day fighter unit.

The people “wholeheartedly and

The pronouncement made no

WASHINGTON, (£>)—Chris M.
Lample, veteran civil aeronautics
administration official who has
been a personal champion of Alas
kan aviation for the last 16 years,
now has the job of expediting con
struction of new ports at Anchor
age and Fairbanks.
The CAA said that Lample has
been named administrator of Alas
ka airports and left for the Terri
| tory Sept. 27.
Lample will have headquarters
at Anchorage. He will supervise
the construction and later take
over the management of the two
fields.
Congress appropriated $12,500,
000 for a Class 5 airport at An
chorage and a Class 4 port at
Fairbanks, both to be large enough
to take care of international air
lines and the military.
Lample started his campaign for
aviation aids in Alaska in 1932
when he sought appropriations for
airways for domestic traffic and
for defense.
In 1941, he supervised construc
tion of 11 major fields in the Ter
ritory, and two years later headed
an Aleutian survey which resulted
in the island airways being com
pletely equipped with communica
tions and navigation facilities for
important military operations.

Alaskans Will
Abolish Traps,
Bartlett Says '
Favors Gradual
Abolition Over
Period Of 10 Years
“Alaskans will vote overwhelm
ingly for the abolition of fish
traps,” Delegate E. L. “Bob” Bart
lett predicted last night in a speech
before Anchorage Democrats at
the Legion Long Cabin.
Referring to the referendum on
fish traps to be held on October 12,
Bartlett declared that the Demo
cratic Party would abide by the
people’s decision.
“The Republican platform calls
for the immediate abolishment of
traps, which would cause chaos,” «
the Delegate said. He reminded his
audience that he had introduced a
bill in Congress providing for the
gradual aboliition of traps over a
period of ten years.
Bartlett praised the record of
Democratic legislatures that had
been in session since 1933.
“Alaska was an economic desert
in 1933,” Bartlett said, “but the
Democrats restored a large mea
sure of prosperity.” *
Bartlett listed as accomplish
ments of the Territorial adminis
tration the extension of the social
security act to Alaska, the work
man’s compensation law, the es
tablishment of a full time Depart
ment of Health, the construction of
tuberculosis hospitals, the highway
traffic act the veterans’ program,
and many other achievements.
Bartlett charged the Republi
can party in Alaska with being
deeply split. “Many Republicans
will not support their platform”
he declared.
