Dutch Harbor Enters
 Naval Picture Again
Aeutian Island Port Has New Importance With United
 States Plans Forgotten For Long Time

splendid harbOr almost directly on the Great Cirnie iiae from Seattle to Yokohama, located on the trad ing route to the Befing Sea and North Alaska, and not far distant from direct trans-Paciiic steamer route.
 Toward the end of the 18th Gen. tury, Dutch Harbor generally was regarded as likely to become d nerve center for the United States defensive esta blishment in the Pacific. Alaskan coal was not far distant. Probably the in- creased use of Detroieum instead of coal as navy fuel was one fac- tor that later diseburaEed the de- VelOpMent of base,
 Dutch HafhOf ssPawn's
 At the Washington armament conference, the possibility of q base at Dutch Harbor was one of the diplomatic s'pAwns's traded by the United States to facilitate ar, agreement with Japan on tha treaty provisions limiting fortifioa- tions In the western Pacific.
 At the present time, only a few experts could appraisA the poten- Harbor. Aircraft crossing oceans like to follow approximately direct routes proxinate to land where possible.
 Offsetting this fact, is the no- toriously foggy weather through out the area, which presumably would tend to encourage future America to Asia air travel on lines far to the northward. Only one day in seven is entirely clear. FoG or clouds are almost continual, and throughout the winter there are high winds.

The bus, after the collision, hit a parked car owned by Ray mond Altman before crashing into the house.
 The accident took place right at the Baldwin-Mill street signal light, of which complaints have been made often recently on the grounds that he light switches from red to green too quickly. The bus was bound for Exchange place, and was operated by Edward NJ. Grady of 30 Brewster street.
 Gerald Monaghan of Fairlawn avenue reported that his car struck and slightly injured Michael Bo- wen, 23, of 68 Englewood avenue, at Hamilton avenue and Bridge street. Bowen was taken to St Mary's hospital for treatment of head bruises and a cut on the wrist. Motor Patrolman Joseph Petit investigated.
