A Craig, commanding general of the askan Department An airborne division and support- ing forces would require approxi- mately 21,000 men, or almost twice as many as the Army has now in the entire Territory. ad Other milite needs of the Territory, the committee members aid, are more adequate housing for and essential civilian person- an expanded program of train- nel; ing in Arctic warfare; improvement and maintenance of the Alcan that Highway as a truck route from the! olis and cookles, as announced by United St terior; ¢ es to the Alaskan in- elopment of a highway Anchorage and Fairbanks, and de- velopment of Whittier as a port of entry. | AIR SUPERIORITY VITAL Because of the remoténess of the Territory north and west of the Fairbanks-Anchorage area, military leaders do not believe any foe could maintain an invasion force there without air superiority. Fighter planes and hi bombers based at Ladd Field in Fairbanks are with- in reach of Nome, onl short hop the acress Bering Sea from Si- beria and within reach of the farthest Aleutian islands on which an invader might launch rocket devices on Pacif seaboard cities Development of military bases in Alaska began on a large scale in 1940, and was intensified two years late en the Japs occupied Kiska and Attu. The Army now main- tains bases at Adak and Shemya on the Aleutian Peninsula.

This alternate procedure will ac- count for the fluctuating weight or price which consumers may have noted in the past two months. The new ceilings on bread now represent an additional two-cents on white bread per loaf or per dozen rolls, three-cents on rye, and one-cent on whole wheat — over their June 11 ceilings. A straight 15 percent price increase is simul- taneously granted on cookies, OPA announced.
