ALASKA—KEY POINT FOR INVASION
Recognizing that, via Alaska, the Pacific coast cities of continental j
United States could be attacked with ease, Representative Albert E.
Carter, of California, proposed that a naval and an air base be estab
lished in the Aleutian Islands. He said many military students are
convinced his assumption is correct and will confer at once with Army
and Navy officials.
Many years ago. Alaskans may recall, the Army and Navy had a
s milar idea in mind, especially the Navy, which cre-ated naval reserves j
Westward and here, on the shores of Resurrection Bay. Probably they ■
may now fortify the Alaska coast, atnd who knows, perhaps on a scale
as gr?at as in the Hawaiian Islands. The Westward reserve, or Resur- j
lection Bay, would make another Pearl Harbor.
For a number of years past, The Gateway has taken the lead in j
advocating protection of Alaska against invasion. A fewr weeks ago:,
the Mayor of Seward, Don Carlos Brownell, publicly expressed himself i j
in similar vein. j’
While nations are warring in the Orient, just a step away from j
Alaskan shores, there has been ho fear felt in Alaska that the coast [
would be subjected to raids, now or in the future, but the thought was j
expressed some system of protection was necessary; “a stitch in . ...” !J
CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY
Fittingly taking its place alongside other well-thumbed books is
sued at Washington, D. C., is the newly arrived Congressional Directory,
72nd Congress, 1st Session, January 1932, a copy of which has been re
ceived by The Gateway. The book is the second edition, corrected to
January 15, 1932, and is published, primarily, for the use of the United
S ates Congress.

! BOOT OF CUPTAIN
! OLE LARSON BROUGHT
! HEREFROMWESTWRRO
After a difficult voyage through
the North Pacific seas, with wintry
winds lashing her superstructure
and spray freezing into ice over
the deck and housing, the halibut
schooner Pacific, with her flag at
half-mast, arrived in port Thurs
day at 3 p. m. from Kodiak with
the body of her skipper, Captain
Ole Larson, age about 45.
The veteran Alaska fisherman
was found dead in his pilot house
bunk Wednesday morning while
the vessel was tied up at the Ko
diak dock.
Dr. A. D. Haverstock, of the Sew
ard General Hospital, and member
of the Public Health Service, was
to have examined the body during
the afternoon. The crew believe
the death to have been accidental
from asphyxiation from a gas heat
er in the closed cabin.
Captain Larson is survived by
a wife and two children residing
in Seattle.
The body is now in the Seward
Funeral Parlor and will be prepar
ed for shipment to Seattle on the
3S Admiral Evans, where inter -
nent wall be made.
The new master, Captain Sof
as Strand, and crew, will return i
;o the halibut banks under the jur- 1
sdiction of the Pacific Fishing &
Prading Company of Seattle. 1
