Sir Hubert Wilkins In Alaska To Study
All-Purpose Uniform For The Military
FAIRBANKS—Sir George Wil-'*
kins, Australian polar explorer
and author of several books about
the arctic regions, arrived late
Friday evening to make a semi
inspection and familiarization
tour of the Air Force ’s arctic aer
omedical laboratory and the Ar
my Quartermaster Corps at Ladd
Air Force Base.
In a meeting with Brig. Gen. T.
Alan Bennett, commander, llth
Air Division <defense> Saturday,
Sir Hubert discussed the winter
clothing used by the Air Force
in this theater.
Under contract with the De
fense Department, he is primarily
interested in coordinating the ac
tivities of the Army Quartermas
ter Corps in Alaska.
Improvements Made
Sir Hubert remarked there is
quite a difference between winter
clothing as he knew it a few years
ago in relation to that used today.
He feels that the military has pro
gressed to the maximum in pro
viding comfort through many
layers of clothing in the arctic.
From this, the present goal is
to go to the minimum quantity
with the maximum quality.
Based on this idea, efforts are
being coordinated to provide a
field force uniform which can
% be used in the tropic hot-dry and
hot-wet climates and through add
ed layers, be suitable for the cold
wet and cold-dry climates.
This uniform would of neces
sity delete underwear, sox and
any other garment which would
require washing, since in regions
such as Alaska, water to do a
laundry is often nonexistent. The
material when it requires clean
ing can be sponged off.
In the tropics, the uniform
would have a inner layer to pre
vent it from becoming sweated, as
well as inner layers to provide in
sulation in the arctic regions for
warmth.
Half Sleeping Bags
Particular to this region, helf
sleeping bags will be put under
study. This bag will cover the
lower extremities, but a parka
will be used as the upper half of
the sleeping bag. This would elim
mate hulk in the combat soldier’s
pack, and many pounds from the
pilot’s plane for more necessary
equipment—such as ammunition
for the soldier and fuel for the
plane.
Masks Retard Radiation
The outer garments will also
have an added feature. Face
masks will be provided with the
garments which will tend to re
tard radiation from the nuclear
weapons of today. This is consid
ered a very necessary feature,
since the threat of nuclear weap
ons in a future war is so preva
lent.
This will mean that a man
could carry on his back a com
bined uniform which will be suit
able in all parts of the blobe.
To the generals, this will mean
a lot. Troop mobility would be
greater, with almost no clothing
supply problem. Troops could be
shifted from Alaska to the tropics
without added issues of clothing
being needed.

Natonalists Evacuate
Three Small Islands
By FRED HAMPSON
TAIPEH, (£)—Nationalist China
has stripped three small islands
near the Red mainland of their
entire population — civilian and
military — and begun redeploy
ment of its forces on the burned
and blasted Tachen Islands, the
defense ministry said Thursday.
A communique said all the
civilians from the two Hushan
islands, 30 miles north of the Ta
chens, and fropn Pishan, 32 miles
southwest of the Tachens, had ar
rived in Formosa.
The communique said guerrilla
forces from those islands had been
redeployed—indicating they pos
sibly were taken to Quemoy,
Matsu or Nanchishau.
There was still no sign of Chi
nese Communist interference.
Explosions reverberated around
the Tachens as Nationalist forces
blasted and burned a maze of
underground defense works.
U.S. 7th Fleet warships churn
ed the East China Sea around the
island and jets swept overhead
protecting the critical military
withdrawal.
