To add to the realism of the imag- inary warfare, dummies are expect- ed to drop in the role of paratroop- ers. Military authorities said the man- euver will proceed on the assump- tion that the invader already has wiped out defense bases near Nome, on' the west coast, and at Galena, McGrath and Fairbanks in the in- terior. (Actually, the “enemy” was theoretically repulsed from the Fairbanks area last week in.the in- terior Alaska phase of ‘“operation Dutchdoor.”) How and where the attackers will strike has not been disclosed. Work- ing on the supposition that Ladd and Eielson fields near Fairbanks have been lost, the defense forces here will use ‘previously prepared posi- tiohs to safeguard Fort' Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Base—in the nerve center of the Alaska De- fense Command. ‘Besides paratroopers, the ‘enemy"] is scheduled to use tanks, artillery, fighter planes and infantrymen. Blank ammunition. will be used in small arms to give the maneuver an added note of realism. The defense test will end Wed- { nesday night. Except for transport and adminis- trative action, no maneuvering will fbe done in the city of Anchorage. {'The military said “civilians might 5 N, MSB» % lé‘s«zpu _i ® Queehi mgn buildef shys bomb }wo—sto:& h‘usmgj sald yesterday each home in the development would have nine-by- nineteen-foot vaults, with reinforced garage. { The homes will sell for $14,200 to $15,490.
