 The proposed Army Air Base is to teach: Army fliers the particular pitfalls of Alaskan flying and de- vc1op in. them sense for Alaska conditions remarked MT. Beach. Since to accomplish this purpose the fliers will have to travel consid- erably in and about Alaska, it would scem feasible that they utilize this flying to some advantage For a very little added cost geological survey could be made. and photo graphs taken that would be in- valuable to the government in it's development of the project"
 : Carry Supplies
 He said arrangements might also be made whereby Army fliers would bring the prospecting units into out-of- the way places, deposit them, and keep them in supplies during their stay in those places. There are drills made DOW which can be carried in airplanes,n he said '.one the largest piece of which weighs 300 pounds. These drills could be taken into otherwise un- scaleable places by air and deposit ed for the use of these lost gen. eration' units.'
