LADD FIELD RUNWAY
* IS CHRISTENED”
Ladd Field's 5,000-foot con
crete runway —the largest slab
in the Territory of Alaska—was
“christened” yesterday.
.. Major Dale V. Gaffney, accom
panied by Lieutenant James B.
Rankin, assistant constructing
quartermaster tinder whose su
pervision the landing lane was
completed, glided to the first
landing on the runway in the
0-38 United States Army obser
vation plane stationed there.
Concrete in the 150-foot wide
traffic area is equal to more than
all the other concrete used thru
out the Territory. One single
strip of 20-feet for the length
of the runway contains more con
crete than is laid in the city of
Fairbanks, according to figures
quoted by army officials.
Major Gaffney and Lieutenant
Marvin E. Walseth ilew to An
chorage, the Ladd Field com
manding officer’s first visit to El
mendorf Field since he returned
to Fairbanks from San Francisco
two weeks ago.

Registration Of
Aliens Under Way
In Territory
“Registration of aliens is now
taking place throughout Alaska
in common with other sections
of the United States,” according
to a statement issued today by
E. L. Bartett, Acting Governor.
“If you are not a citizen of this
country and if you are fourteen
years of age you must register
by giving your identification and
finger prints on the official form.
All non-citizens under fourteen
years of age must be registered
by their parents or guardians,
but finger prints will not be re
quired. When these children
reach the age of fourteen, and if
they have not acquired citizen
ship, they then will be required
to register in person.
“In conformity with the alien
registration act of 1940, passed
by Congress and approved by
the President, every alien is re
quired to register by December
26th of this year. This will not
be a voluntary registration. Ac
cording to the law every alien
must register. Generally speak
ing a person who was not born
in the United States and who is
not a naturalized citizen is an
alien. The fact that you may have
obtained your first papers does
not exempt you from registra
tion.
“All post offices in Alaska have
or soon will have the necessary
forms for registration. There is
no registration fee of any kind
whatsoever. After registration
each registered person will re
ceive from Washington a receipt
card which will serve as evi
dence of registration and contain
other information regarding the
requirements of the law.
“Non-citizens should not fear
registration. They should realize
that the measure is intended to
safeguard the land that has giv
en many of them sanctuary from
oppression, the land that has giv
en many of them physical secur
ity and a chance to earn a liv
ing.
“Let me reassure non-citizens
on one very important point.
The law provides that alien reg
istrated records be kept secret
and confidential. This provision
operates from the moment the
registration information is given
at the post offices. Nobody may
examine these records without
the express permission of the At
torney General of the United
States.
“No law-respecting and loyal
alien in this country can be harm
ed because of the registration
program. In fa-at, compliance
with this act will serve to protect
him. The United States Govern
men wants to find out how many
aliens there are within its bor
ders, who they are, where they
are, and what they are doing.
This is basic information which
any guest of a nation, any non
citizen, should be willing to fur
nish.”
