tain G.. E. RoScndahl, naval expert

Iy impressed" by sites in the coastal

Back from his district where nc
accompanied Captain ROSendahl on a
site inspection tour, Bonner said the
terrain, proximity to shipping lanes
entering Chesapeake Bay and dis
lance from areas congcStcd by air
plane traffic appealed to the naval
expert.
Il think the northeastern North
Carolina coastal area will be given
serious consideration when the Navy
board meets to decide whether a
scouting base will be established and
where" Bonner said.
The representative expressed the
opinion Congress would quickly APP
prove establishment Of base for the
Chesapeake Bay entrance area, re-
calling that during the World Wal
German U-boats made attacks on
shipping in that vicinity.
Captain Rosendahl, who began an
inspection of North Carolina sites
last Monday, visited nearly d dozen
