WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

Reservation of a small area near Kodiak was made by executive order signed by the President on Noyem- Der 2O The order Withdrawing the area from settlement or entry states that it is reserved for the use of the Navy Department for present and prospective naval uses.
 The reservation set up embraces about square miles of land and water southwest of the town of Ilo diak, dimensioned to include the entrance to and a considerable part of Womens Bay together with the shore region on two sides of the bay.
 Official announcement of the present and prospective naval pur- poses" for which the reservation is made has not been released by the Navy Department, but it seems al- most certain that this is another step forward in the program for the naval defense of Alaska, as urged by Delegate Dimond since he first started to serve the Territory in Congress. In line with customary procedure the Department has not disclosed it's intention as to the amount of or character of construc- tion projected for this new reserva- ton.
 The first step in the present pro- gram of naval defense taken this ,yoor ,,r,. ino,,g,1rotaIs Jos4 gprir 1r when the Navy Department com menced rehabilitation work on it's buildings on Japonski Island near Sitka. Construction there will cost about $1O0,OO0 and it is expected that nearly S3O,000 more will bel required before the project is com plete. This establishment was made to be a seaplane base to serve al twelve-plane squadron of patrol planes and a plane tender. Operat ing personnel will require 3 officers and 15 men. In view of the location of the reservation now established near Kodiak it seems probable that it too will be primarily used as al seaplane base.
 At present all naval stations inI Alaska are under the 18th Naval District with headquarters at Seat tie, Washington, However, becauseI of the prime strategic importanceI of Alaska in national defense, Dele gate Dimond is working to have al separate naval district established for and in the Territory. Continued development of naval operations in northern waters may be expected to. require such establishment in the reasonably near future.
 In reporting to the House Commit tee on Naval Affairs on the DimOnd bill now pending before Congress, which would authorize the estab- lishment of a naval station in Al aska and carrying authority for an appropriation of 100 million dollars for that purpose, Hon. Claude A. Swanson, Secretary of the Navy, sta ted, Present indications are that the strategic importance of Alaska will soon increase to a point where naval facilities in those waters suf- ficient to support a limited naval force will be essential" He then pointed out, however, that naval operations in the area will be lim- ited, "at least initially," so that extensive shore establishments will not be required flor the time be-

R | N C PROTEGE

Two local boys, Marty Gala
CHER and Lou Gevinson, will learn
tonight whether they are to con-
tinue as WaShington's biggest fis-
tic drawing cards.
Out at Griffith Stadium tonight
Gallagher and Gevinson will be
pitted against two tough, hard
hitting fighters on the all-star card
staged by Turner and Ahearn. The
first bout it at $3.50 p. m.
Gallagher's opponent is Eddie
Hogan, the 235-pound giant from
New England, who is Jack Demp-
sey's latest heavyweight white
Hope" and who in his only ap-
pearance at the stadium a few
months ago on the Variety Club
show iquidated one Buck Everett,
former District champion in less
than one round.
Gevinson, the Jewish Scrapper,
is up against Frankie (Kid) Co
velli, Brooklyn Italian feather
weight, who once defeated Petey
Sarron, present featherweight
ruler, in a local ring.
Each bout is scheduled for 10
rounds.
Between 5000 and 5000 spec.
tatorS are expected to sit in on the
proceedings. Forty-two rounds are
scheduled.
Irish Johnny Dean, the trans
planted Philadelphia who has
kayoed AL Dunbar twice, and more
recently beat Rusty Rosete in his
three local appearances this
season, faces a tough assignment
in Sailor Boon, of New York. They
are to step eight rounds.

in a six-rounder, and Maynard
Daniels, the Marine fighter. and
Tom Wire, the Third Corps Area
heavyweight champion from Balti-
more, clash in a four-rounder.
Mike Morton, former golden
gloves featherweight champion,
meets the experienced preliminary
boy, Doug Swetnam, in an open
ing four-rounder.
Gallagher will be making his
third start of the season, having
previously drawn with Sandy Nc
Donald and bowed to Jorge
Brescia, the Argentine assassin.
But in neither fight did the foggy
bottom battler lose any OF his
prestige.
Hogan figures to give Marty no
end of trouble. Personally trained
by Dempsey, Hogan has turned in
some creditable victories. He is
six feet four, veritable giant,
with a puzzling style, and is en-
tered in Mike Jacobs heavyweight
elimination tournament in New
York.
If Gevinson can flatten Covelli
the chances are local promoters
will match him with Petey Sarron
at the Stadium october IL. But
if he fails to win either Covelli or
Joey Archibald who put the hooks
to Lou five weeks ago, will get the
call. Thus it is important that
Gevinson win impressively.
Covelli has shown in Washing
ton numerous times, and always
has been impressive. He is the
lad who gave Henry Armstrong
such a terrific fight on the Coast.
