Army Moving
Test Facilities
To Ladd Field
NATICK, Mass., UPt —Lt. Gen.
Arthur G. Trudeau said Army re
search activity soon will be ex
panded in Alaska and tests will
be pushed as far north as the
Arctic basin.
Gen. Trudeau, chief of research
and development for the Army,
said transfer of many Army test
facilities from Fort Churchill,
Manitoba, to Ladd Field, Alaska,
will start next month.
He spoke to 400 military and
civilian experts on Arctic prob
lems at the opening of a two-day
meeting at the Army Headquar
ters and Engineering Command
Center.
Gen. Trudeau told of activities
at Camp Century, an experiment
in living under the surface of the
Greenland ice cap. He said a
nuclear reactor in operation there
was furnishing ample electricity
and heat for the camp, eliminat
ing the need for transport of fuel.
Deep drilling in the ice cap
was bringing up frozen cores laid
down a thousand years ago. These
are being studied for clues to
climatic conditions and a possible
pollen content of the atmosphere
at that time.
Maj. Gen. A. T. McNamara,
Quartermaster General of the
U. S. Army, said international
events since World War II have
changed the Arctic from a fringe
area for military thinking to a
major front line of defense.
