' Detroit 'TP A double feature making the rounds of Detroit theaters these days: "Twelve Angry Men." and "Three Vio lent People." Within the next few months humpbacked Constellations jam med with a multi-million-dollar payload of radar equipment will begin flying daily from their Midway base to t h e Aleutians and back again.

Midway now is undergoing an expansion program which makes its 948 acres of coral sand some of the most valuable real estate in the world. A Million Goontyi Currently under construction are a 10,000-foot jet aircraft run way, parking facilities for three squadrons of the Navy's WV-2 airborne early warning Constel lation planes, a deep water chan nel capable of handling the largest super-tankers and hous ing facilities for 2,800 Navy men and dependents. The island is located in the middle of the North Pacific. 1,149 miles northwest of Hono lulu and 2,792 miles west of Sar Francisco. It's main population consists of more than one mil lion birds ranging from the gooney a species of albatross with an unhappy habit of fly ing head-on into telephone poles to the wedgetailed shear water which likes to dig holes Practically abandoned after World War II, high speed con struction now has left the island looking as if it just came through the second Battle of Midway. Dilapidated wooden shacks are being pulled down and white coral dust from giant rock crushers clings to the state ly Australian ironwood trees which cover about three-quarters of the island. "They must have just bombed this place," a merchant seaman said recently upon his arrival. 40 Million The Hawaiian Dredging and Construction Company of Hono lulu first began the expansion program in July. 1956. The pro ject was originally pegged at 35 million dollars but most engin eers say it will reach 40 million dollars before its scheduled com pletion in July. The 1,200 construction work ers, almost all residents of Ha waii, are quartered away from the servicemen. Life on the island is pleasant although slightly monotonous. Navy men put in a one-year tour by themselves or one year from the date their dependents arrive. An Armed Forces Radio station is in operation and a closed cir cuit television station is sched uled for early installation. Considered as sea duty, most ! married men find Midway a paradise for their children, free from busy intersections and high speed motorists. Housing is plentiful. Bachelors, noting that there are no native girls and only two single women on the island, are generally more re- ; served in their appreciation. ' The only time morale is notice- j ably low is in-August when the : seemingly ubiquitous gooney ! stumbles into an awkward take- i off and goes seaward for three , months. ; Portland Restaurant Prices May Increase Portland iff!
