Harbor in Unalaska, at the tip Of
Alaska. as the United States super
first line Of defense" Is under con-
sideration by the Navy. it was learned
yesterday.
Important links in this chain would
be bases at Midway, Wake and the
newly acquired Canton Island in the
mid-Pacific.
The quasi-oficial Army and Navy
Journal asserted yesterday that Admiral
William D. Leahy, chief of naval
operations, has referred to this line
Of observation" on which will be based
the Nays latest long-range patrol
planes"
Because Of long-range naval flights
from Norfolk, Va. to Coco Solo in the
Canal Zone: from Coco Solo to San
Diego, Calf, and from the West Coast
to Hawaii, officials here are convinced
that long-distanoe patroling is now
entirely feasible
The journal envisions powerful radio
sending and receiving stations set up
on these key points to speed COM
munication between the patrol planes
and the fleet; says that further de-
velopment Of the patrol plane IS con-
tingent upon development of aircraft
engines Of between 5000 and 1000
horsepower and quotes authorities as
saying that planes nearly twice the
size Of those now existing could be
built II motors Of sufficient horse
power could be designed to power
them"

LIBRARIANS HEAR
FREE-PRESS PLEA
Dodd and Rev. {. A. Walsh
Call It Barrier to
Dictatorship,

Two speakers told members Of the
District and Middle Eastern. Library
Associations last night that an un-
censored press Is one Of the most for
midable bulwarks against dictatorship.
Speaking before a joint dinner
gathering at the Carlton Hotel that
marked the end of the two associa-
tions' annual meetings, William e.
Dodd, former Ambassador to Ger
many. and the Rev. Edmund A.
Walsh, 8. j., vice president Of George
town University, both reviewed condi-
tions in countries where freedom In
publication Of newspapers. magazines
and books has been "trampled under
foot"
Mr.. Dodd pointed to conditions in
Germany, saying 1903 newspapers
were suspended by the Hitler regime,
while Jews. who owned and edited
many of the large publishing houses,
were forbidden to engage in the busi-
ness longer. He added:
mo paper prints anything except
what the minister Of propaganda
permits. You can easily see why the
subscriptions to newspapers there
have fallen of so per cent. No pub
fishing house can print any except
those books that have the official
stamp OF approval. The censorship
even extends to the theater and
moving picture houses"
Father Walsh told the librarians
he considered them watchers on the
ramparts of truth and democracy"
THE librarian Of today Is more
than a keeper Of books. more than
meerly a supervisor of records on
what books are taken out" the
Georgetown educator said, rather he
is q beacon light and must guide and
counsel the reader"
The speaker pictured conditions in
Russia that have caused the deaths
of from nine to ten millions of peo-
ples," he said. adding that In 1888
and 1884 more than six million were
allowed to die deliberately in govern
ment-planned famine"
Turning to Spain, the educator told
how 10 persons, trained in the Soviet
schools Of propaganda" were sent
there before the present civil war be-
gan. Within 18 months, he said,
they succeeded in getting more than
1000 persons killed in riots and in
destroying over 900 printing presses.
Dorsey w. Hyde, jr., for the past
year president Of the Middle Eastern
Association, presided at the gather
ing.
At the session yesterday morning,
Miss Eleanor W. Falley. librarian
Of Goucher College. was elected presi-
dent to succeed Mr. Hyde, who is
director Of the archlval service for
National Archives.
At the same time, new officers Of
the District Library Association for
the coming year were announced.
Ralph L. Thompson. Central librarian.
was elected president, succeeding Miss
Adelaide Hassel, w. P. A. librarian.

School Float
Misses Parade
Through Error

The float constructed for yesterdays
schoolboy patrolmen parade by pupils
of the Janney School got lost and
never did get there.
Frank Perna, whose son TAFT was to
oe one of those to pull the float and
in whose garage 1t was built, said
a colored truck driver employed by
him left with the float on the back
of the truck at $50 am. yesterday
with orders to be at the starting point
at $50.
Mr.. Perna said the driver, Warner
Louis, could offer no explanation for
missing connections except Il went
where you told me to and the police
men wouldn't let me by" Mr.. Perna
said he believed the driver possibly
didn't read the street signs correctly
and went to the wrong place.
The driver. with the float intact,
pulled into the Perna driveway as
Mr.. Perna drove up short time after
the parade was over. He told Mr..
Perna he had tried to join the
parade at several places along the
route, with no success. The Pernas
live at 1912 River road NV.
