GEN. IGNICO
GIVEN AWARD
HEADQUARERS. 11th AAR
SERVICE COMMAND — Com
mendation of Brig. Gen. Robert V
Ignico, commanding general of the
Uth AAF Service Command, ‘‘for
excepitonally meritorious con
duct” was recently announced by
Major Gen. Davenport Johnson,
commanding general of the 11th
AAF.
The commendation, originally
issued by Maj. Gen. William O
Butler, former commanding gen
eral of the 11th AAF, covered the
period from July 18, 1942, when
Gen. Ignico took command of the
Service Command, to the termi
nation of the Aleutian campaign,
August 15, 1943, when American
troops landed at Kiska. General
Ignico arrived in Alaska shortly
after the Japs had bombed Dutch
Harbor.
Taking command of the ser
vice organization during the emer
gency when there was only one
airbase in the Aleutians, General
Ignico was responsible for man
ning and equipping the many
bases built for the use of the 11th
AAF in the campaign which drove
the Japs from the Aleutians. It
Was also part of General Ignico’s
job to supply and transport the
combat elements of the 11th AAF.
Growth of the Service Com
mand under the leadership of
General Ignico was seen in the
rapid extension of airbases dur
ing the period our troops advanc
ed down the chain of Aleutian Is
lands. Many large bases, as well
as smaller emergency landing
fields now dot the 1500-mile
aerial highway from headquarters
at Elmendorf Field, near Anchor
age, to Attu. Other bases stretch
southeast past Juneau.
General Ignico was commended
for providing complete support
for the air operations in spite of
having to fight against time and

HULL APPEALS
FOR ORGANIZED
PEACE
■
—
WASHINGTON. Apr. 10.—‘AP>
—Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
in fighting for a pos'-war policy
of international collaboration and
‘‘organized peace", appealed to the
Amer can people not to let con
troverses during election year
. create disunity and des'roy the
effectiveness of world affairs and
foreign policy.
His summation was the most
detailed made by an official since
the start of the war, and %vas
built on the assump'ion that Br t
ain. Russia. China and the United
States would cooperate in peace
as well as in war.
Hull said- ‘‘If not there is no
hope of avoiding another great
conflict with n the next 25 years."
To the enemy. Secretary Hull
declared ‘‘There will b eno com
promise with Nazism and Fascism,
they must go from the earth.”
I And he added- ‘‘The enemy
leaders can expec* no negotiated
peace, no compromise and no op
portunity to return to power.”
, Among other points he said the
French Commi'tee for National
Liberation should be given every
opportunity to organize the civil
government of France under the
supervision of General Dwight D.
Eisenhower, but the committee
would not be the government of
France and cannot be recognized
as such.
Hull warned the neu'ral na
tions: "You must cease aiding our
enemy.”
He mentioned none specifically,
but left no doubt that he meajit
every nation on the rim of Eu- :
rope, including Sweden, Ireland,
Spain, Portugal and Turkey, and
said:
‘‘The allied s'rength has grown
to the point where it is on the
verge of great events which must
develop their absolute confi
dence",
Hull made a plea of tolerance
and understanding of the o0 ’ij
fellow’s view and asserted em
phatically that unless the Unit
ed Nations reognize and harmon
ize their basic interests they can
only produce d sas'er.
