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.

According to those who attended

municipal airport at night with the
official sanction of tha bureau of air
commerce, department of commerce.'
Max C. Henne, local manager was no
tified by United Air Lines todoy.
While nothing was said about any
Immediate change, It was anticipated
that the luxurious Douglas Main
llners would soon be substituted for
the ten-passenger Boeings placed on
the Medford schedules when the bu
reau of air commerce ruled that
Mainline might not make night
landings here until the main run
way had been widened an addltlonel
SO feet.

Widening of the runway was re
cently completed as a WPA project
and approval of night landings for

by the bureau of air commerce.

PORTLAND, July e-(AP) Lum
bermen of the northwest out
billion board feet of timber ueh
year but another two and one-half
billion feet is lost, principally be
cause of fires. J. C. 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.
