Gen. Mundy Pays
Nome Brief Visit
Gen. George W. Mundy, USAF,
Commander in Chief of Alaska,
accompanied by his wife and of
ficial party arrived here yester
day afternoon for an hour’s visit
while on a familiarization trip of
the state. With him was Gen. L.
L. Wheeler from Fort Wam
wright and Col. S. W. Henry, Com
mander at Eielson AFB; Asst.
Chief of Staff Lt. Col. W. R. Ra
der; Lt. Col. Fradenburg and Col.
Frnest L. Smith, information offi
cer for the Alaska Command; Maj.
J. D. Holowell, aide to Gen. Mun
dy and Lt. Wm. Howerton, aide
to Gen. Wheeler.
They were greeted at the Nome
Airport by civic and military
leaders and taken to the North
Star for coffee, where they met
with representatives of local or
ganizations for an informal
gathering.
Gen. Mundy said he Lt~w how
strongly the people in this area
felt about the lack of defense in
this strategic position, but that
it takes time to study the situa
tion and he has been here but a
very short time.
He called attention to the fact
that military programs are re
viewed at high level and some
times we cannot see the defenses
we have. He then explained how
the defense from the big military
bases of Alaska works In the de
fense pattern.
He stated he was proud of the
unique roles the Scout Bat
talions of the Alaska National
Guard plays in the defense pic
ture as well as the Alaska Com
munications System, White Alice
and AFRS.
The conditions in Alaska are
studied constantly, he said, and he
hopes to come back again in the
winter. A visit through Alaska
would not be complete without a
stop in Nome as “you haven’t
seen Alaska until you have seen
Nome.”
Also present were Col. Gene
White, Chief of the Alaska Com
munications System and Lt. Col.
Henry Schneider.
Bob Harwood, vice-president of
the Chamber of Commerce wel
comed the group and Mayor Ros
coe Wilke presented Gen. Mundy
with an ivory key to the city
and all guests ’ received certifi
cates giving them special gold
mining privileges.
