WAR IN ALASKA’S LATITUDE
Fierce naval, land and air war
fare now raging in Norway and
along her shores between the six
tieth and seventieth parallels can
yiot but impress the circumspect
that the theater of this intensive
acion is identical with the loca
tion of Alaska.
Oslo, capital of Norway, now
occupied by Germany, is on the
same parallel as Seward, Alaska. ■
The northern tip of Norway is on
tht parallel passing a little south j
-of Point Barrow. Between these
two parallels lies the greater i
•part of Alaska.
Alaska is as readily accessible:
from the neighboring shores of I
Siberia as is Norway from Ger- ■
many. And late reports reveal
that the Pacific shores of Kam
chatka Peninsula, Siberia, have
been fortified by Russia with air
and naval bases. Japan has fort-;
ified within comparatively close I
range of Kamchatka and the1
Aleutian isles of Alaska.
No one need think that Russia:
and Japan have not been keep- j
ing eyes on Alaska and are un-:
aware of her exposed and poorly j
defended position.
If Germany gains the ascend
ancy in Europe and should com-'
bine with Russia —and possibly
Japan—in an aggressive move on
Alaska, what then. Russia has
felt out her cruising ranges by
flights across the top of the
world to America. Japan has sent
her flying expeditions through
the heart of Alaska on ostensible
goodwill tours.
Ben Eielson. flying from Alas
ka to Norway, revealed the pos-;
sibilities of flight between the
two countries.
The tragedy that has overcome
Norway and the fact no land—
particularly if undefended — is
safe in these days of ruthless con
quest is enough to quicken Am
erica to a deep sense of the dan
ger of Alaska.
It’s not time to slow down or
delay the national program for'
the defense of Alaska—rather a !
time to speed up and take no j
chances.—Fairbanks News-Miner ;
FLYING ABOVE
THE WEATHER
_
With the delivery to Pan Am- j
erican Airways of the Flying
Cloud, the first of its Boeing air
liners designed specifically for
i
flight “above the wather,” an
other interesting page has been
turned in the history of Ameri
can air transport. This four-en-;
giner airplane can carry 33 pas
jsengers and a crew of five or six
' at four miles a minute. Its most
i interesting feature is its cylin
; drical, super-charged cabin,
i which enables pressures normal
I to altitude of 14.000 to 20,000
feet. In this way advantage may
: be taken of the smoother air con
ditions, the lessened air resist
ance and weather interference,
and the steadier winds of the up
per levels, leading both to in
creased speed and comfort,
i Aeronautical engineers have de
bated at length the economics of
i true sub - stratosphere flight.
There is no unanimity of opinion
' on the question of whether the
I structural and power-plant fac
i tors necessary to provide passen-1
ger comfort and safety in the!
thin airs of. say, 30.000 feet are
justified for such service as that
between our Atlantic and Pacific
Coasts.
It is true that Commander Tom
linson, who probably has spent
more time above the level of
25,000 feet than any other pilot
during his high-altitude studies
| for Transcontinental and West
; ern Air—which also will take de
livery soon of some of the new
I liners — has found that cloud
I formations, with their attendant
conditions of turbulanee and low
visibility, occassionally extend
to 30,000 or even 35,000 feet.
As a rule, however, levels of
i 18.000 to 20.000 feet mean bright
sunshine or starlight, smooth air
with steady winds. For flying in j
high mountainous terrain, and
certainly for transocean flying,
these are the levels to which the 1
new Flying Cloud opens the door.

DEVELOPMENT OF TELE
VISION IS IMPERILED
WASHINGTON, April 15 — j
Chairman James L. Fly of the
Federal Communications Com
mission declared that the orderly
development of television had
been imperiled by what he call
ed “a blitzkrieg” of television
sales campaigns.
Fly told the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee that the
FCC is considering holding up
the commercial development of
television for a few months until
technical equipment of compet
ing companies is standardized.
He predicted that within a year \
unrestricted development could |
go forward, with the sale of!
standard receiving sets which !
would receive telecasts from sev-1
eral competing television sys- j
terns.
He expressed fear that a sales
promotion campaign at this time
would freeze the television indus
try to one system and would ham
per future competition and devel |
opnrent.
