Ernest Gruemmng issued ‘a proclamation today which pulled no punches regarding Alaska's vul- nerable position in event of any major foreseeable war, and called upon all communities in the Terri- tory to “prepare immediately for any eventuality.” The proclamation particularly called upon the director of civilian defense — named recently as Col. Joseph D. Alexander, acting adjut- lnnl general of the Alaska National Guard—to establish and organize defense facilities on a Territory- wide basis and to “cooperate with the various communities in pro- moting similar preparedness and organization within their bound- aries.” Alaska’s geographical and logistic position suggests the possibility of its direct involvment in any con- flict, the governor proclaimed, and so “all communities are urged to avail themselves of whatever facili- ties may be procurable.” Preliminary work toward organi- zation of a civilian defense agency was done last week in Anchorage, at a meeting of the governor, Col- onel Alexander, and Lieut. Gen. Nathan F. Twining. Mayors of all cities were called upon to make plans for defense and to issue suggestions as to what should be done to suit the particular terrain in event of attack.
