Guard Officers
Meeting Plans
Strong Defense
The National Guard Officers
Association Conference opened
Saturday morning in the Nome
School auditorium, with about 100
officers and distinguished visitors
in attendance.
The opening address was made
by General W. H. Harrison, fol
lowing a welcome by Mayor Stef
fen Andersen. General Harrison
praised the excellent work done
by the Alaska National Guard
under Brig. Gen. Thomas Carroll
these past three years, stating that
the fine record of the 1st and 2nd
Scout Battalions is one to be
proud of, and one which is keenly
watched by all the country, due
to the proximity of Alaska to
Russia.
He stated that during the past
year there were many overtures
for disarmament, and much in
terest and hope was shown inter
nationally, so much so that it in
fluenced the thinking on the de
fense program There were warn
ings that there had been no basic
changes in the land of Commu
nism, which would like to dom
inate the world. He said he was
relieved that the National Guard
did not lessen its program or be
lieve it possible to disarm at
this time.
Since then, Russia has reversed
itself, as is shown in Cuba and
its attack on the Monroe Doctrine.
Defense efforts must be increased
and the program must have bal
ance and be flexible, he explained,
indicating that we must be ready
to repulse any kind of attack at
any time.
As the peace of the free world
continues to be threatened, he
continued, the stronger must be
our defenses.
Saturday evening the National
Guard was host to invited towns
people at a cocktail party at the
Bering Sea Club.
Meetings and side trips were
scheduled for Sunday, culminat
ing in a formal banquet in the
evening, and the installation of
