Br Sam Jacksoa
(Associated Press Feature Writer)
Juneau, Alaska. This land ol
the eskimo, the totem pole and
the midnight sun has forgotten
tourist-trade color for awhile and
Is concentrating on all-out de
fense. Alaska is close to Japan, and
it is even closer to efficient air
and submarine bases in Siberia,
which Delegate Anthony J. Di
mond charges were constructed
by nazi technicians during the
Russian-German collaboration.
American territory, and Rus
sian territory which conceivably
could be seized by Japan, are in
plain sight of each other on Ber
ing strait. The nearest bodies
of land are Russia's Big Diomed
Island and America's Little Di
omed. Alaskans realize that their
fish, furs, gold and forests make
the territory a tempting prize.
Roll Up Sleeves
Today the situation is different
from that in the World war of
1917-18. Then Alaska was
drained of young manpower with
no returns to itself. The only
substantial war activity was the
production of the great Kenne-
eott copper mine.
But for the last three years
army, navy and territorial agen
cies have been at work to make
Alaska as nearly impregnable as
possible.
Build Air Strength
On far-flung Unalaska island
within flying distance cf Japan.
the navy has been constructing a
large base. Closer to the Alaskan
mainland, bases are under way
at Kodlak and Sitka.
The army has big projects go
ing at Anchorage, Fairbanks and
Annette Island. An Improved
port and rail terminal is under
construction at Whittler.
A string of air fields is being
constructed by the civil aeronau
tics administration. They are
closely linked with similar devel
opment in vast British Columbia,
a province larger than Washing
ton, Oregon and California com
bined.
Siberian Bases?
As forewarning of the coming
storm, at least two members of
congress have demanded in the
last year that the United States
acquire air bases in Siberia
which would complete a rainbow
of airfields reaching through
Canada, Alaska and Siberia to
ward the heart of the Nipponese
empire. What may have been
done along this line is a military
secret.
A project to drive an interna
tional highway through to Alaska
points from the present "lump
ing oft place" at Hazelton, B C,
apparently has developed too
slowly for the present emerg
ency. Alaska must still get its
supplies by sea and weather
permitting by air.
An important prize in Alaska
well worth fighting for, is the
lowly fish. Allegedly ruthless
Japanese methods of destroying
the salmon which spawn in
Alaskan waters have been con
troversial subject for year.
The Immense output of Alaska
salmon canneries likewise Is an
important factor In the Ameri
can army commissary and also In
food supplies to Britain.

HEAVY BOMBING
OF AXIS LANDS
HINTED IN 1942
London, Jan. 1. UP) A
sharp cut in shipping losses
from German sea and air at
tacks and indications that the
axis will feel in 1942 the
weight of bomb assaults over
shadowing the destructive air
offensives of 1941 gave Britons
new confidence today.
To begin the new year, the
ministry In information report
ed that the German submarine
fleet has been hard bit and that
the German high command "is
faced with difficulties in man
ning U-boats and adequate
training of their crews."
Figures were not given but
the ministry said Britain's ship
ping losses from air attacks had
been cut in recent months to
only eight percent of those

Mainland Americans Gayest

Londoners Give Greeting.
(By the Associated Press)
Peoples of the allied, anti-
axis powers saw the new year
in today with varying degrees
of merriment but with the
single confidence that it would
bring them closer to the ulti
mate victory over the great mili
tary dictatorships.
Americans of the United
States mainland, newest comers
to the battle lines, were the gay
est
In New York thousands jam
med Times Square for the tra
ditional horn-tooting, whistle-
blowing welcome.
Far out in the Pacific, how
ever, other Americans saw In
the date change the dread ap
proach of conquest by an alien
race. Failure of any but offic
ial messages to come through
from Manila prevented the dis
tressed Philippine capital from
telling Its New Year s eve story.
Canadian cities, whose sons
have long teen in the thick
overseas fighting, celebrated in
less boisterous manner than
usual. The din of automobile
horns provided the chief sound
effects as factory sirens which
once screamed their salute to
the New Year were silent upon
government orders.
Londoners gave 1943 a warm
but modest welcome. Relatively
few merrymakers braved the un
relenting blackout but many cel
ebrated quietly indoors. Behind
darkened doors of hotels and
restaurants almost unprecedent
ed crowds ate, drank and
danced. Simple souvenir pro
grams reflected the paper short
age but most parties managed
to scrape together paper hats.
A crowd of some 3,000 pers
ons, mostly service men and
their girls gathered In Piccadil
ly Circus to dance in the dark
ness and sing "Auld Lang Syne"
as the year ended.
