A stirring plea for national de- fense which was made by Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond in the House of Representatives on March 5, has been printed in the Con- gressional Record, a copy of which was recently received in Juneau.
 The remarks were made in con- nection with the proposed plan of national defense which was re- gently the subject of much thought by Congress. The Delegate showed the need of Qualifications and air bases in Alaska to insure against invasion by any foreign power in the Pacific, and he pointed out that any such invasion of the United States would more than likely be by Navy or Air Force over the Great Circle Route, ta- ken by steamships travelling from Seattle and San Francisco to the Orient.
 Alaska Unprotected
 Delegate Dimond showed that an invasion from that source would not only leave Alaska at the mercy of the invaders. but would allow any foreign belligerent power to

Isuand, western tip of the Aleu- tians, before a fleet starting at the same time from Seattle, Dimond says an air force stationed at Fairbanks would have to fly only 1900 miles to protect the Terri tory.
 Emphasizing hazardous flying conditions in the north, the Dele gate described the rugged moun- tains, the vast expanses of tundra lands, the freezing cold of Arctic and sub-Arctic winter as ideal conditioners for army fliers.
 He included in the measure a plan for rotating all pilots to give them experience in the north.
 Hopes For New Equipment
 Forced to combat the elements of our northland," he said, T am certain army fliers and designers would develop new equipment that would make their work easier and safer and at the same time rescue Alaska from the dangers Of becom- ing the battle-ground of two na- tions if war between the United States and @ Pacific power ever came"

gain foothold in North America within a short run from Conti- mental United States, and that bases for operations could be con- structed by the enemy, from which 1t might be impossible to oust him.
 He declared that under any adequate scheme of military de- fense "our air pilots ought to be trained in that sort of flying be- cause Alaska may be the theatre of war in the future"
 Continuing, he said. Some may say, We don't care what happens to Alaska, let the foe take it. That might be all right for the people in Continental Unite d States. but did you ever consider the position the United States would be in if a strong and hostile power got possession of the Terri tory of Alaska? Then you would have a potential enemy within a few miles of Seattle and San Francisco.

OFF EARLY TODAY

MOSCOW, l.pril 11.-Thir- ty-three of the 89 marooned Russians on an Arctic ice floe have been rescued by Rus sian airmen and early today planes rushed for the rescue of the remaining castaways.
 The Russian fliers making the rescues are Pilots Kam- ing, Molokov and Slepnoff.
 Pilot Slepnoff picked up el- even of the marooned Rus sians last night.
 Three separate planes are b ing used by the fliers. Those rescued have been talk en to Cape Van Karen.
 There is a probability that Prof. Schmitz, head of the expedition, is among those rescued. This is seen in earlier radio dispatches which said he has contracted an illness resembling pneumonia. Lat CT advices said he will be flown to Nome or Fairbanks for treat ment should the illness prove to be serious.
 None of the rescued have been identified, however.

West followed with the jack of

THE queen Of spades was played,

He had only diamonds remaining,

Here are two Of my favorite oven
dinners. You probably have your
pet meals that can be cooked in
the oven together in friendly
fashion, with none complaining that
the temperature is all wrong or
that the time is too long.

Grapefruit and celery salad
Apricot Bread Pudding
Roast Leg Of Lamb
Brown Gravy
Baked Sweet Potatoes Buttered Beets

Both Of these meals are planned
around the meat course. The meat
loaf requires about one and a half
hours in a moderate oven, which is
heated to between 325 and $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The potatoes and
onions will be cooked in about the

be cooked at a lower temperature
than the meat loaf. This past year
has brought some new developments
in the cooking of roaSts.
The one which will need consider
alton here is the fact that there is
so much less shrinkage and such an
improved taste when meats are
cooked slowly for a long time that
we are suggesting to housewives that
these changes will be appreciated by
their families.
The best temperature for roasting
a leg of lamb is 300 degrees. The
meat is put into the oven which
has been preheated to that tenn
perature and cooked at that con-
slant temperature allowing about
thirty to thirty-five minutes for
every pound.
The sweet potatoes will cook in
about two hours at that tempera-
ture and the gingerbread will have
to be baked the last half hour at
higher temperature.
