then take up the cudgels for the horse.

Project Description

The artist-enginner described the Galena field as cleared area 1900 feet by $500 feet, with a main runway 5000 by 500 feet. Alongside the runway is a park ing area 2,000 by 5000 feet.
 To date 4,0OO feet of runway has been graveled and graded, and Is in use by commercial planes-including the Pan Amer ican Airways Electra, Vigna said. Half the length of the parking area is also available for use.
 One of the chief advantages of Galena site, according to Vigna, is that it lies at the approximate halfway mark between Fair banks and Meme, and Anchorage and Nome.
 The GAIA project is under con tract to the R. J. Sommers Con- sruction Company. Fifty men are at work on the job. During the process of clearing 135 natives as sistants were employed. Equip ment used for the task included 10 tractors and five giant carry all scrapers. These pieces of ma chinery were brought to the site by boat from St. Michael.

NEGROES VS.. HITLERISM"
TO BE SUBJECT OF FFF
CONFERENCE

Plans for a nationwide confer
ence of Negroes to combat the
menace of Hitlerism were ann
o iced today by Edward Wni'e.
executive secretary Of the Harle 4
Division of the Fight for Freedom
Committee. The conference will
be held in Washington on January
6 and 9.
Every Negro is aware of the
serious situation concerning the
welfare of country today
Mr.. White said in explaining the
Purpose of me meeting. cal
though conditions grow more g.
cute each day, there is still consii-
cradle speculation as to the at j.
tude of the American Negro; that
is. we just dtr't seem to have any
attitude on the question Of Hitle~-
ism.
1.-The intelligent Negro hates
fascism, because he has experience
ed so much of it. This is so true
that we have treated it as some-
thing that goes without saying
and have concentrated all u ef-
fort on what we consider the more
pressing problem. that of
knocking out Hitlerism at home.
But the defeat of France
should teach us something. While
we must continue the fight for our
domestic rights, we must recos,-
nize that with Hitler victorious
there is no future for the Negro
here or anywhere else. We can
not afford the luxury of indiffer-
ence. Hitler hates us more than
the Russians or the British or the
Jews. We have no place in his SO
called New Order.
Negro are determined that Hit
Ter and all other brands of fascism
must be destroyed. The purpose
of this conference is to give su,,-
stance to this conviction and to
put our words into action"
Mr.. White reported that dele
gates from churches, ~fraternal or
CARNATIONS, labor groups, and
press associations are expected to
attend.
