The bill introduced by Del
egate Dimond a few weeks
ago to strengthen the posi
tion of the Washington-Alas
ka Military Cable and Tele
graph System in Alaska by
authorizing the system to use
the receipts of its services and
thus reduce the nominal cost
of its operation has been re
ported adversely by the Sec
retary of War as not being in
harmony with the plans of the
Bureau of the Budget. This
report practically eliminates
any possibility of the bill re
ceiving favorable considera
tion at the present time.
The President signed H R
7022, August 12 enacting into
public law the bill authoriz
ing and directing the Secre
tary of War to determine in
all strategic areas of the Un
ited States, including those of
Alaska, the location of essen
tial permanent Air Corps sta
tions and depots. While the
bill states the purpose of the
stations is “for the effective
peace-timing training of the
General Headquarters Air
Force and the Air Corps com
ponents of our overseas garri
sons” and directs that the
bases be established in six
general locations for definite
purposes of special training
in each location—that in Alas
ka being “for training under
conditions of extreme cold"
—it is generally conceded that
the locations will be deter
mined with a view to their
strategic position in time of
war. This is substantiated by
the following conditions enu
merated for the Secretary of
War to consider in selecting
the bases:
“First. The station shall be
suitably located to form the
nucleus of the setup for con
centrations of General Head
quarters Air Force units in
war and to permit, in peace,
training and effective plann
ing, by responsible personnel
in each strategic area, for the
utilization and expansion, in
war, of commercial, munici
pal and private flying instal
lations.
“Second. In each strategic
area deemed necessary, there
shall be provided adequate
storage facilities for muni
tions and other essentials to
facilitate effective movements
concentrations, maintenance,
and operations of the Gener
al Headquarters Air Force in
peace and in war.
“Third. The stations and de
pots shall be located with a
view to affording the maxi
mum warning against sur
prise attack by enemy aircraft

upon our own aviation and its
essential installations, consist
ent with maintaining, in con
nection with existing or con
templated additional landing
fields, the full power of the
General Headquarters Air
Force for such close and dist
ant operations over land and
sea as may be required in the
defense of the continental Un
ited States and in the defense
and reinforcement of our ov
erseas possessions and hold
ings.
‘The Secretary of War is
further authorized and dir
ected to construct, install,
and equip, or complete the
construction, installation, and
equipment, inclusive of bomb
proof protection as required,
at each of said stations and de
pots, such buildings and util
ities, technical buildings and
utilities, landing fields and
mats, and all utilities and ap
purtenances thereto, ammun
ition storage, fuel and oil stor
age and distribution systems
therefor, roads, walks, aprons
docks, runways, sewers, wat
er, power, station and aero
drome lighting, telephone and
signal communications, and
other essentials, including the
necessary grading and re
moval of existing structures
and installations. He is auth
orized, also to direct the nec
esssary transportation of per
sonnel, and purchase, renova
tions, and transportation of
materials, as in his judgment
may be required to carry out
the purposes of this Act. The
Secretary of War is further
authorized to acquire by gift,
purchase, lease, or otherwise,
at such locations as may be
desirable, such bombing and
machine-gun ranges as may
be required for the proper
practice and training of tact
ical units.”
In connection with the sel
ection of the locations for the
six air bases authorized by the
Act, it is generally believed
that the location of the base
in Alaska will be one of the
two first locations to be de
termined by the Secretary.
Immediate action is anticipat
ed in view of the fact that the
Secretary of War appointed a
commission of five officers to
investigate the localities avail
able for air bases, within 48
hours after the Act was ap
proved.
Dr John Harold Clements
has been commended for ap
pointment as physician in
charge of the U S Public
Health Service station at
Wrangell.

Delegate to authorize the city
