BIG ALASKAN BASE
FOR AIR FLEET IS
Next Congress May Get Re
quest To Vote Funds-
Need Of Defense For Pa
' cifio Northwest Studied.
By O rattan McGroarty
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON (CTP) President
Roosevelt, on the recommendation of
high navy officials, may ask con
gress next session for an appropria
tion to start development of a pow
erful fleet air base In Alaska to com
plete this country's Pacific "aerial
frontier."
The proposed Alaskan base, long
desired by the navy department,
theoretically would give the United
States complete domination of the
air over a 3,000-mlle stretch of water
from the Aleutians to the Hawaiian
Islands, establishing a battle theater
nearly 2,500 miles from the American
west coast In event of a Faclflo war.
Bltka, Alaska, was officially desig
nated a fleet air base more than
three years ago, but development has
been exceedingly slow and at present
It will accommodate only six or seven
airplanes. The proposed new base
would probably be on Kodlak Island,
and the navy department la anxious
to make it the equal of such power
ful stations as Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
and Coco Solo, Panama canal one
strategy Board Named
A board of navy strategy experts
was appointed recently to study ne
eesslty for new naval shore stations,
and It la understood that the Alas
kan question la being given special
consideration.
Some ranking navy office are
convinced that this country should
have a naval fueling and repair base
In Alaska, also, and It Is probable
that this will be atudled closely In
connection with the proposed air
base. At the same time the war de
partment has tentative plans for fort
ification of some of tne Aleutian is
lands with long-range coast defense
guns. Both of these latter projeots
would require huge expenditures and
In all probability wrn not be under
taken until the fleet air base la
completed. If at all.
However, the recent dispatch of 6
navy patrol planes lor maneuvers In
the Alaskan area Is generally re
garded here as an Indication of Im
minent Improvement of the Alaskan
defense system. This was the largest
number of navy patrol planes ever
sent to Alaska for summer maneu
vers. Kodlak Inlet Sheltered
Some naval experts do not con
sider Sitka Ideally located for a fleet
air base and are urging Its abandon
ment, except as a possible advance
or auxiliary base. In favor of the
Kodlak site, located In a sheltered
Inlet .easy to defend and difficult
to attack. It. Is likely that Dutch
Harbor also may be designed as an
advance air base.
The strategic Importance of Alaska
In the United States national de
fense system Is rapidly Increasing du
mainly to the growing flying range
of airplanes. Military experts point
out that the entire northwest and
Pacific coast Industrial sections of
the United States could be wiped out
toy enemy aircraft carriers from
anchoring In northern waters from
which they could launch an attack
on the Pacific coast. '
