After Runway Broadened Every New Foot Grown iAGE TEN NT 111 KHABAROVSK, Soviet Ruula (Cor, respondence of the Associated Press) Soviet Russia'! far eastern foroes a powerful army whose strength Is a closely guarded secret and an eren more mysterious navy are kept constantly on the alert. Marshal Vaslly Bluecher, the "Red Nspoloon," chief of the army In the far cast, has returned to his post after consultations In Moscow which foreign observers believe con cerned Russia's defense against the Japsneac. Moscow apparently considers war with Japan a remote possibility while Japanese armies are trying to subju gate China but the vigilance of the far eastern forces on the 81berlan frontier and In outer Mongolia, buf fer state which the aovleta are pledged to defend, never relaxes, Clashes Continue, Clashes and forays along the Manchoukuo frontier constantly keep alive the threat of war. They also give the soviet forces training In chasing off Invaders and hunting Japanese spies. Soviet defense plans are secret, but huge, long-range bombing planes rrom Vladivostok, or even Khabar ovsk, could strike devastating blows at Japanese Industrial centers, vaierl Chkalorr, who flew over the North Pole to the United States last year, recently wrote In a Mob, - cow newspaper that "the country aoie to send planes to the North Pole will be able to send them elsewhere and crush the foe without pity." The round-trip from Vladi vostok to Tokyo Is only about lflOO miles. Bluecher's command In the far east Is believed to number between 100.000 and 600.000 men eaat of Lake Baikal with from 300 to 1000 tanks and from 800 to 1500 air pianes. in case or wsr, the red army probably could count on 100.000 reserves In the troops of Outer Mongolia, which Russia has equipped and trained. Naval Forre Mystery. The naval force defending the soviet coastline facing Japan Is even more of a mystery than the army. Military observers believe Russia may have as many as 60 submarines around Vladivostok, which could be used with airplanes to offset In aome degree Japanese superiority in wft forces. Tile far oaatern forces supposedly uro equipped for months of fighting. If necessary, before . oxhauatlng their upplles. For several years, large depots of " supplies and munitions have been stored In the fsr east to maae uie army as Independent as possible from Its main llfollne, the long trans-Siberian railroad, which runs too close to the Manchoukuo border for safety. The Trans-Siberian runs within 100 miles also' of the Mongolian border one reason for soviet protec tion of the territory Moscow recog. nlws as part of Chfna. From Mon golia, enemy troops could drive northward In the Lake Baikal re gion and cut the line connecting the far eastern army from European Russia. Ilillldlng New Hood. Against such a nmulhmtv uuMuiug a parallel railroad line north of Lake Baikal to Komaomolsk on the Amur river, which is plsnned as a new soviet port to free far eastern shipping. If necessary, from .mine on viantvostok. Komfomolsk, now a city of 100 -000 inhabitants, has been erected on scrubby, sub-Arctic plains and amps in aix years. Although de oa ami a raw city, with building materials scattered about, huge shlpyoiYls and machine works already are reported to be operating Named for the young communist league, the Komsol.. it la peopled largely by men and glrla of that organ trnt ion, sent out as pioneera in nrvriopmg the Soviets' eastern frontier.

Rettla, a mem ber of the national resources board, told the opening session today the Institute of northwest affairs at Reed college. . Estimating tha forest growth at four billion' feet annually, Rettle said that three feet of timber was being used for every new foot grown and he pointed to the unemploy ment possibilities of the future In the fact that the makers of forest products, described as the backbone of northwest Industry, hired one out of every seven men employed, Management of natural resources will largely determine the north, west's future, Rettle predicted, quot lng a statement that the country ahould plan to "live on its Income and stop relying on the spoils of conquest." Dust storms, floods and the like may serve to awaken th country to the need for a "balanced budget" for natural resources, he declared. Rettle said that abundant water power would bo available for gene rations If the watersheds of the northwest were protected wisely. Twenty million horsepower of pres ent or potential energy could be available 90 per cent of the time If the northwest's water power re sources were fully developed, he eatl mated.
