Bartlett de- scribes every foot in Alaska as be- ing wide open to invasion. Thirst Knows No Season In a review of the Territory’s defense situation for the Post- Intelligencer, Bartlett declared: Southern terminals of Alaska’s railroad, the vital life-line to the Interior, are undefended and vul- nerable to attack. ‘There are no military installa- tions or soldiers in Southeast Alaska to protect the sea and air routes. The Air Force's three bases are ill-equipped and undermanned; they are centered in an area one- fourth as large as the United States and lack any outside defense perim- eter. There is not a single Naval craft in Alaska waters. The total Nava: air strength con- gists of 18 fighting planes. No actual construction will start until next spring on any part of the $93,000,000 military works pro- gram authorized by Congress. Bartlett recently made an in- spection tour of the Territory. Rep. Hugh Mitchell of Seattle said during a Tuesday talk here: “Alaska needs an entire develop- ment program of highways, roads, docks, hydroelectric power and radar defense screens.” The Washington Democrat added: “Men are living in disreputable shacks, even the commanding offi- cers. They need 12,000 troop bar- racks and 7,000 sutstantial and|' comfortable family quarters.” "Col\e Ask for it cither way + . both trade-marks mean the same thing.

Their newest co-starrer is a highly combustizle mixture of dan- | gerous love, intrigue and sudden death, and its Far Eastern locale greatly enhances the motif of the film. ! The latest leg of Ladd's screcn wanderings—he was last seen over- seas slugging and loving his way out of a murder rap in “Calcutta” —finds him in China with two bud- dies who had flown with him m‘ the war., The boys undertake a well- | paying secret commission to fly a| Shanghai business man and his secretary to Saigon. The flight turns out to be a gi-| gantic money-smuggling scheme, with enough wealth at stake to lead men and women to lie, cheat,; steal and murder. Love, ing female. Only the grim finality of smashing bullets in the pulse- pounding climax brings about a just ending. STORIS CREW CHANGES ANNOUNCED BY (MDR. Russell E.
