The pack reduced to ful | Need for Facilities (Continued trom cage One) Commander Radford said. Modern aircraft suitably equipped, can op- crate over any water that steam- ships can and in almost any weath- er. Of course, when ships are forced by fogs to tie up, planes also would have to lie to, but as long as the ships can run planes can fly. Fog, he said, affects the operation of both alike. Conditions affecting flying are not as adverse here as on some sections of the transcontinental mail routes. “If I had my choice I had rather fly between Seattle and Juneau than between Oakland and Salt Lake City, or Cleveland and New York City,” asserted. Will Be Big Factor “Aviation will come to be a fac- tor within the next few years that few of you can now scarcely visual- ize,” the Commander continued. He cited developments in the States. The Oakland, Calif., airport, he said, was a striking example of the benefits accruing to the com- munity providing proper landing facilities. It had left San Fran- cisco far behind and that city is now making strenuous efforts to overcome its handicap but it will take years to do so. Whenever a town has provided landing facili- ties, it has been greatly benefitted, | he declared. This had been amply demonstrated in the States and he predicted it would be true in Alas- ka, probably on a smaller scale. Air travel in this section of Alas- ka will be by seaplane or in am- phibian, for local needs only| a landing field for such craft would be sufficient. But it will not be long before travel will be moving from the coast, as far away as Se- attle, to the interior and land| planes will be required for inter-| jor flights. Juneau is the logicah‘ center for such travel and would largely benefit from it. Site At Mendenhall A site capable of development into a first class airport for both kinds of aircraft was available at Mendenhall. On the flats there| plenty of room can be found. Once | facilities are provided the traffic will develop rapidly, he said. “And | if Juneau builds such an airport, has it ready for the travel when it comes in the near future, it cer- tainly will derive great benefits. The Commander predicted exten- sive use of planes between Juneau and the Taku River district. Much of this will have to be by land planes for which facilities ought to be provided. Shifting Base South After staying here about two months, the expedition of which | Commander Radford is the head, will shift its base to Ketchikan as | he I W Headquarters for FISHERMEN'S MEDICAL SUPPLIES Phone 25 Free Delivery L s e e between | | of breaks on the weather. | will sail from Ketchikan south on September 15, leaving the barge at Seattle and taking the Gannet and | planes to San Diego where it will | disband, and its p nnel return- ing to the ships or stations from which it came. Stay Most Pleasant Speaking for the entire expedi- tion, Commander Radford said its stay in Juneau had been most | pleasant. Conditions had been splendid for operations and the use of the Government dock as a plane | storage has eliminated losses in | time, and made it possible to keep |the planes in good condition and lotherwise facilitated work. ‘There is a great deal more map- ping to be done in the Territory and he expressed the hope that the Navy Department might see its way clear to continue its work in this direction. It might be pos- sible, he said, that conditions af- fecting the Navy ifself might pre- |vent it, but it was of sufficient im- | | portance to justify all expenditures necessary. The work here has very definitely |shown, he added, that developments of any section must be preceded by accurate mapping. He cited as a concrete illustration the recent discovery by the expedition of a lake near Taku Inlet which, offi- cials of the Forest Service be- lieve, will save hundreds of thous- ands of dollars in the establishment of a local pulp and paper plant. Is Business Proposition This discovery, he declared, will result in a monetary saving which will more than pay for both of the Navy's mapping expeditions to Alaska. He estimated that the cost of each of these was not less than $150,000. Such accomplishments put the mapping expeditions on a real busi- ness plane, he pointed out. it made it possible to go before de- partment boards with a reasonable argument to support requests for continuing the work in the future.| Praises Expedition Acting-President H. G. Walmsley complimented Commander Radford on the high quality of the person- nel of the expedition. He said it had been a pleasure for the town to have had it here and expressed the wish that all the members might return another year. e The Rev. James E. Corder, Bap- tist pastor in Robert Lee, Tex., ministers to other than spiritual needs of the town. He also is the town's plumber. A NEW SHIPMENT OF DR.

Aviation Editor) CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 15.— Capping a year of unprecedented progress in aviation, the national air races here August 24 to Sep- tember 2, will bring together prob- ably the greatest assembly of air- craft and fliers in aviation history. The 10-day race program, under direction of Clifford W. Hender- son, managing director, and Floyd J. Logan, air race chairman, is the most pretentious ever staged. More than 1,000 planes and avia- tors, air race officials believe, will come here to participate in and witness the events. Cleveland is spending $450,000 enlarging and grading its airport and in constructing air race build- | ings and a quarter-mile long grand- | stand seating 30,000. Roads to the airport are being widened and traf- fic will be directed by national guardsmen. On the lake front an emergency landing field has been prepared and a portion of the lake inside the breakwater has been set aside for the landing of seaplanes, flying boats and amphibians. The aeronautical exposition in the municipal auditorium, will be the largest vet held in the United States. More than 200 manufa turers of airplane sand accessories, transport operators and flying schools have taken the 200,000 feet of floor space. Nine air derbies, one from Can- ada, and 35 closed course events will make the 10 days of cvents alive with interest for spectators and aviators alike. For the first time women will have a place on a national air race program. A cross-country race from Santa Monica, Cal, and four closed course events have been set aside for them. Both men and women may enter a contest to break the world’s solo | endurance flight record. The sum of $5,000 is offered the winner of a contest to break the world’s non- top distance record, and -another $5,000 awaits the men who can break the 420-hour refueling en- durance record of the St. Louis Robin.
