CAA Refuses To
Discuss Bases
In v. Africa
Rumors Of
Construction
Draw No Commen

WASHINGTON. D.C.-(A N P)
Reports of building airports in
Liberia to facilitate overseas trans
portation nave begun to gain wide
ficials of the Civil Aeronautics
authority are loathe to discuss any
phase of the contemplated plans
Although much has been said
about these fields, which would be
landing bases for commercial
planes and useful to the United
States and her allies in the event
of war, it is admitted tacitly that
they are planned as a long range
insurance in the far flung defense
building scheme.
And as part OF the defense
plans it is practically assured they
will go through.
Information on the location and
the size of the fields will not be
made public, although there is
every reason to believe they will
compare favorably with the re-
ported Dekar bases being con.
strueted by the Franco German
forces some 500 miles north of
Liberia.
Sparse information that the
fields are to be built at or near
Monrovia, the capital of the re-
public, filter through the screen
of secrecy surrounding the whole
matter
Such an additional recognition
would be of inestimable CONNER
cial value to the natives and bring
additional prosperity to the Afri-
can republic.
