* NEW YORK, UP>—Ninety-six
Navy and Coast Guard vessels
will begin in June the search for
a new practicable route between
the Atlantic and Pacific for cargo
ships to supply military radar
stations in the far north.
The search will be conducted
in connection with the annual
task of re-supplying men and ma
terials to arctic radar stations on
the DEW Line, which stands for
“Defense, Early Warning.”
Vice Adm. John M. Will, USN,
commander of the Military Sea
Transport Service, announced the
plans for the “MSTS Arctic Oper
ation for 1957” at a luncheon yes
terday.
The passage is being sought to
provide ships with an escape
route from the arctic so that ves
sels will not be tied up for the
entire winter when ice floes jam
both sides of the area.
Adm. Will expressed confidence
a passage will be found from the
eastern approach in the Prince
Regent Inlet and Franklin Strait
area, north of Hudson Bay.
The ships will converge on the
area from the Atlantic and Pacific.
Some will leave in June and oth
ers in July, and the groups will
have their own separate radar
bases to supply.
Forty-six ships, comprising Task
Force 5, will service the DEW
Line from the Pacific side and the
Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea.
This West Coast operation,
called “Project 572 West,” will be
directed by Rear Adm. Henry S.
Persons, USN, commander of the
Military Sea Transportation Ser
vice in the Pacific, and Rear Adm.
Frederick C. Stelter, commander
of Amphibious Group 1, in the I
Atlantic.
The operation from the Atlantic !
will comprise 50 ships.
By leaving in June and July, |
ships will reach their areas by the
time the ice is pretty well broken
up. They are scheduled to leave
the arctic before the area freezes
again in late September.
