ice with offices here Is directing the
work. .
An act of the 74tb congress au
thorizing a recreational study on a
national scale Is permanent legisla
tion and Its results will likewise be
permanent In effect. The atudy Ickes
eald, Is the most far-reaching of Its
kind ever attempted In the United
States.
Gov. Charles H. Martin accepted
Secretary Ickes' offer to cooperate In
this undertaking and called atten
tion to a long-time program of state
recreational development formulated
by the Oregon state parks commis
sion. Work Organized
This undertaking Is an outgrowth
of emergency conservation work co
operation between the federal gov
ernment and the states through
which hundreds of state park and
recreation areas nave been extended
and developed by the civilian conser
vation corps since 1933.
Using emergency funds, the na
tional park service has set up under
Its branch of recreational planning
and state cooperation a basic organ
ization for initiating the atudy.
It la the hope of the national park
service to enlist the assistance of the
Oregon state planning board and
ether state, private and federal agen
cies concerned with planning for
present and future recreational development.
Pour-Fold Study
In Oregon the study will Include
(1) the gathering of data relating
to existing parks and facilities: (3)
a study of social. Industrial and pop
ulation trends: 18) an inventory of
potential park, parkway and recrea
tional areas; and (4) a formulation
of definite plans and recommenda
tions for meeting the present and
future recreational needs of the peo
ple, covering further development of
existing areas, legislation, finance,
administration and maintenance.
The atudy. It was emphasised, will
have Immense value In connection
with emergency conservation work
activities in that It provides for plan
ning to produce master development
programs for 30 to SO years In the
various states. This procedure. It
was pointed out, Is In Una with
President Roosevelt's plan for a na
tional program for recreation.
It was further emphasized, now
that there Is a definite authority for
a closer cooperation between the
federal, government and the states,
that It la expected state and local
park, parkway and reereatlonal-area
planning will receive greater consid
eration and that the work will be
systemlsed and correlated on a state,
regional and nation-wide basis.

AERIAL DEFENSE
IN PACIFIC AREA
Fleet of Giant Bombers Is
Planned for North, East
and South Outposts As
Operation Scope Widens
8AN DIEGO. Cel. (UP) The navy
Is lengthening and strengthening its
"first line of defense" in the Pacific.
Before the end of 1036 huge patrol
bombing planes, most powerful air
fighters of their type In the world.
will be droning along almost dally
over some part of an area embracing
some 5.000.000 square miles. The
planes will be stationed so ss to be
Instantly available should trouble
rise In the Pacific.
It Is the plan of the navy to have
140 of these most modern fighting
craft on duty in the great semi
circle extending from the Aleutian
Islands, through Guam, Wake and
Midway to the Hawaiian group and
then bending eastward to Panama
before another 13 months pass.
Planes designated for this duty
are the PBY-3's, with a cruising
range of nearly 4000 miles, a top
speed of 160 miles an hour, with a
full load. The full load consists of
at least 10.000 pounds of gasoline, a
crew of six or seven men. machine
guns, munitions, and more than a
ton of bombs.
Massed Flights Planned.
In order to have these fighters at
strategic points, the navy, during
the next few months, will sponsor
at least nine long distance, mass
flight similar to the three carried
out already this years as "routine
transfers."
Hardly had the planes of the VP
Z'T squadron landed at Coco Solo,
O. Z after a 3065 -nautical mile
flight from Ban Diego than It be
came known at least two more Pan
ama flight are to be undertaken in
the near future, with the crews al
ready here for Intensive training. The
new PBY-3's are to be ferried to the
Canal Zone In each Instance to re
place older, less formidable patrol
bombers.
Three more flights across the 3500
nautical miles from Ban Diego to
Pearl Harbor are being planned, with
two already successfully completed
since January 1.
Seattle, near the Canadian border,
and the operating base for the Ber
ing sea and far northern waters, also
Is to receive two squadrons of the
powerful new flghttng craft.
Squadrons at Norfolk.
On the east coast, at Norfolk. Va
the navy will station two more
squadrons of the planes which are
vital dreadnoughts of the air. They
will be for the protection of the
Atlantic seaboard.
In all, the navy la building 10
squadrons of the patrol bombers,
and 14 will be stationed In the semi
circular "first line of defense area."
Of those, 14 squadrons, of 13 planes
each, to be stationed la the Paeifla
area, five will be In Hawaii, three
in Panama, two in Seattle, and four
In San Diego.
The navy la closely guarding the
actual construction and operating
details of the huge bombers, and
likewise is maintaining strict secrecy
to the time of the pending "de
livery flights."
