DEFENSE FOR ALASKA
SURE SAYS GRUENING
•
Back from Washington, D. C.,
■where he found World War II
and all its involvements, the mat
ter of chief concern among offic
ia s with whom he talked, Gov.
Ernest Gruening declared in Ju
meau recenty that the one bright
£pot on the otherwise dark hori
zon was that Alaska was to have
tire defense for which he and
Delegate Anthony J. Dimond
have been working, says the Ju
neau Empire.
Anchorage is now assured its
Army air base. For the proposed
.Navy base at Dutch Harbor, $2,
503,000 has been set aside to be
gin work, the Governor said.
“And I have every reason to be
lieve that this is just the begin
r.i g,” he added.
Effect of the move toward na
tional defense in Alaska will be
far reaching, Gov. Gruening said.
Work will start immediately on
the Ketchikan airport. Military
necessity will require the en
largement of Juneau plane facil
ties. Airfields will be increased
t! . oughout the Territory and ex
isting fields will be enlarged as
a ^qrt of the national defense
prtgram.
Ciov. Gruening deplored the
■war as a cause of bringing to our
attention the need for national
defense.
‘ It is tragic that we have had
to have this cruel lesson, but I
am glad that there is no longer
a' y doubt about Aaska being in
to uded in our national defense
.program,” he said.
