ARMY CHEFS AP G NEW AR BASES Alaska Probably to Get First Project Allowed by Wil- cox Measure. By the Associated Press. Frankly elated at passage of the Wilcox air base bill, high-ranking Army Air Corps officers today turned their eyes toward maps to determine where to build six new air bases au- thorized by the measure. Under the bill, which passed the Senate yesterday and now is awaiting presidential approval, the would be established at key points in #ix specified defense areas at a cost of $120,000,000. Inasmuch as the bill simply author- izes, instead of appropriates, the funds, progress will depend on the financial backing of the Public Works Allotment Board. But in the opin- jon of Representative Wilcox, Demo= crat, of Florida, author of the meas- ure, funds will be made available this year for “at least one or two” bases. Reports from an authoritative source indicate Alaska will be chosen first. It was said the need for an ex- treme Northern Air Corps outpost, and a desire to experiment with cold weather flying are contributing fac- tors. Fairbanks is the most probable site, Seattle or Portland Base. The second area probably will be that including the Pacific Northwest. Portland and Seattle will vie for the. honors. This base will occupy a key position, it is explained, since it will serve as a connecting link with Alaska and play a vital part in West Coast defense plans. Several cities are seeking the base planned for the Rocky Mountain area. Denver would like it and so would Salt Lake City, Pocatello, Idano, and Albuquerque, N. Mex. With the Rocky Mountain base serving largely in a secondary defense move as am- muntion and supply depot for the ‘West Coast, & similar base is planned to assist operations along the At- lantic. Situated somewhere in the South- eastern States, the field probably will be constructed, according to one au- thority, in Western Nortl: Carolina, ‘Western South Carolina or in North- ern Georgia. This would serve the other two Atlantic Coast bases, one in New England, the other in Florida. North Atlantic in Doubt. Air Corps officials have not yet narrowed down their choice in New England. The present East Boston Airport is favored by some because of its central location, easy access, and because it would provide ample opportunities to study fog and per-| form heavy weather flying. But New Haven, Conn., has been mentioned, as have Portland, Me, and Concord, N. H. If Representative Wilcox has a word in choosing the Southeastern and Caribbean air base, it will be at Miami, Fla. Not just because that city lies within his own congressional district, he says, but because it is ideally situated for setting up & primary defense of the Panama Canal, the coal and iron mines of Alabama | and the Texas oil flelds. Chapman Field at Miami, though undeveloped, was purchased during the World War for just this purpose, ‘Wilcox says, and if used as an air base would permit the United States to -‘maintain aerial supremacy over the Caribbean Sea. Scattered between the six key flelds, officers plan to establish intermediary flying flelds, but their locations will not be determined until later. & 2 Houses Occupied 415 Years. Realty agents have no trouble in renting a group of houses at Augs- bergm, South Bavaria. Since they were built 415 years ago they have| never been vacant. The buildings are | among 53 houses constructed by Jacob Fugger, the German banker, in 1520. They rent for $1 a year. Navg_' Radio Helps Cupid Send Darts To Fleet Sailors Note Every 30 Seconds Relayed to Vessels in Secttle Harbor. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, July 30.—Uncle Sam’s naval radio operators were very busy today helping Dan Cupid with hu} * target practice. ‘They were kept on the jump trans- mitting messages from girls on shore 1o sailors of the 40 warships anchored here for “fleet week.” 5 Three telephones, especially installed for communication with shore and between the various fleet units, were { fn use. The messages came in on an .7 average of one every 30 seconds during the rush periods, said Lieut. T. O. Cul- lins, communications officer of the . cruiser Chester. Plain mash notes got no farther than the receiving pads on which they were written, but all romance was not weeded out and there was no objection . to a young lady signing her messages, £ *“love and kisses, Mabel,” if that was the way she felt about it. ' One message read: “Tear up my " last letter. Didn’t mean what I wrote. Meet me tonight but meet me alone.” Another: “Grandfather isnt sick % end grandmother isn't dead, but I'd like fiye more days' leave anyway.” This was from an ensign to his superior. One woman telephoned to ask what time the fleet’s searchlights were turned on. When advised not until 10 p.m., she said: “Well, I have to be in bed then. Please turn them on at 8 o’clock.” ..QUICK RELIEF FOR INDIGESTION Acid indigestion causes gas pains, upset stomach, nausea and frequent headaches.
