Dunning, 1011 ALASKA AIRBASE LOCATIONS Defense bases in Alaska have been located, says the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, for reasons of con- venience rather than of strategy. The man who| “the Glacier Priest” declares at “politicians calls himself Francisco that and are responsible” for Alaska airfields being where they are, rather than at such strategic locations as Aniakchak and Pilgrim Springs. The Associated Press story carrying this expres- sion of opinion also states that Father Hubbard is heading for Juneau. When he arrives, we hope he will answer these questions A. What bases in Alaska have been located at the behest of “politicians and real estate dealers”? B. Who are the: “politicians and real estate dealers” who have imperilled the defense of Alaska and the nation for the sake of personal gain? C. How were these persons able to talk the Army and Navy into building their bases in these allegedly inferior and unstrat locations? D. What have Aniakchak and Pilgrim Springs to offer as airfield locations which would make them of greater strategic value than the fields already un- der construction? Father Hubbard speaks specifically of airfields. Presumably he is speaking of the fields at Anchorage, Fairbanks, Metlakatla and Yakutat. As the land for all these xcept for a small part of the An- chorage site) was taken from the public domain at no expense to the Army, it is difficult to see how real ‘estate denlers could have profited directly.

Pearson and Allen certainly get around. Undersea Heroes (Cincinnati Enquirer) A peculiar brand of heroism is demanded of the| | men who go under the sea in their nation’s service. which surround the men of the surface craft is not :\ for them. Not for them are the spectacular dangers of the airmen, compensated for in some measure by the thrills and exhaltation of flight. Not even for them are the more ordinary dangers of the men in the Army. When an officer or a crew member signs for | service on a submarine, he signs for discomfort; | cramped quarters, stuffiness, the reek of ofl and the batteries. He signs knowing that in wartime his as- signment will be one of desperate danger. There is a scheme of protection for most naval units, but not for the submarine—its job is to scout in the most dangerous circumstances, to strike and to take its own chances of escape. It cannot outrun its pur- suers, it must try to outwit them. And the crew | must endure the dread suspense of knowing that | when an enemy locates their craft submerged one two hundred feet below the surface, they are desperately near death, and not a pretty one. Even in peacetime there are dangers peculiar to | the submarine, as we have been shown twice now in two years' time off the Portsmouth, N. H. naval | base. A slight mechanical or human failure can doom part or all of the crew to an awful entomb- ment. Until salvage operations are completed, it is idle to speculate upon the causes of the disaster which befell the submarine O-9. case, and to extract all possible future benefit from them. But, meanwhile, it is not out of place ‘for the nation to salute the officers and crew of the 0-9 as true heroes of the Navy—men who in their nation’s service braved the ugly death which overtook them on the floor of the North Atlantic.

Colorado’s tall, lumbering Sena- tor Ed Johnson, isolationist Demo- crat and foe of the defense pro- gram, sneaked over the dry scheme in the guise of a substitute for a House bill outlawing prostitution within a “reasonable distance” of military reservations. The War De- partment had asked for this bill, and when it reached the Senale, Johnson offergd a substitute whose language appeared to be the same. His colleagues assumed he was try- ing to grab off some political ku- dos and didn’t examine it closely But tucked away in Johnson's bill was a provision that set up rigid liquor control in Army camps and also in an undetermined area around the camps. Had this lan- guage become law, prohibition could | have been restored throughout large sections of the country. Johnson’s scheme ticed and his bill was on its way back to the House for concurrence when Senator Bob LaFollette, who had been absent, stormed in loud cries of alarm Sheepishly the Senate jerked to life and began undoing its boner. The process required several hours and four quorum calls. Then John- son tried another k by offering a substitute limiting the ope of his dry scheme.
