Seven New DfcW Line
Stations Put in Operation
HANS COM FIELD, Mass. UT> —
Seven new stations of the Distant
Early Warning (DEW) Line have
been placed in operation half way
across the Northern Atlantic, the
Air Force announced yesterday.
Known as “DEW East” the new
segment, covers 1,200 miles of air
space from Canada’s Baffin Is
land across Greenland to the
western coast of Iceland. It con
stitutes an extension of the main
DEW network stretching nearly
6,000 miles from the Aleutian Is
lands at the tip of Alaska across
Northern Alaska and Canada.
“DEW East" became operation
al upon completion of a radio
link from Greenland to Iceland.
The new segment is designed to
reduce the possibility of an end
run around the main line by
manned aircraft or missiles.
Four of the new stations are
radar surveillance installations —
two on the East and West Coast
of Greenland and two on its in
terior ice cap.
The other three, for communi
cations, are on Baffin Island, at
Sonderstrom Air Base, Green
land, and near Keflavik on Ice

Two Runoff Elections W ?
Appear Likely from
Results in Fairbanks
FAIRBANKS UD — Two runoff
elections appeared likely from un
official results of Tuesday’s Fair
banks city elections.
In the race for seat “A” on the
City Council, Ed Merdes, and
H. A. (Red) Boucher had taken
a considerable lead over the rest
of the field, while Darrell Brew
ington and Arthur Sexauer were
fighting it out for seat “B” at
the top f the eight-man slate.
Wilbur Walker, a Council in
cumbant, appeared the only out
right winner in the elections as
he gained more than a 400 vote
lead over his nearest rival, Lewis
Seversane.
Richard Jones defeated Donald
Pruhs for a five-year term on the
Public Utility Board.
In the City Council races, Fair
banks election laws require a
runoff election if no candidate
wins a majority of all votes cast.
Neither Merdes, with 347 votes
nor Boucher with 304 votes, have
picked up a majority of the 1,407
votes cast in the seat “A” race.
And neither Brewington with 358
votes, nor Sexauer with 324 votes
have a clear majority in the
I, 571-vote race for stat “B”.
In other voting, two city bond
proposals, one for a *1.5 million
issue of general obligation bonds
to pave and repair city streets,
and another for a $6 million issue
of revenue bonds for extension
of the water system were ap
proved.
Another $2 million issue of gen
eral obligation bonds to extend
the water system appeared to
have missed approval by seven
votes.
