Planes From Alaska Gould Blast Japan

BOSTON, Jan. - The bomb ing of Tokyo by planes shutting between certain points in Alaska and Russia was pictured as a possibility by a young scientist who has spent a dozen years studying the topography of AL aska by aerial exploration.
 Bradford Washburn, head of the New England Museum of Nat ural History, said in an inter viey he thought it possible for bombers to blast Tokyo by sWerv ing from a direct course between the nearest land points enroute.
 The Alaska-Russia route he wis toned as approximately 1000 miles shorter than flights from Hawaii to Tokyo. Weaher condi- ions in the North Pacific are not insurmountable, he asserted, add ing that the bombing of Jap cit ies by Alaska-b based planes is even more practical than ferry ing bombers to England or ship ping them across the Pacific to Russia for the ultimate purpose of b asting Japan.

WINGED SQUADRON PREPARES
 FOR TAAE-OFF AT LADD FIELD

Noiselessly, in the strietest sec reey an entire squadron of Unit ed States Army fliers is warming up at Ladd Field, preparatory to a mass takeoH into Arctic skies, probably next week.
 What will be attached to the undercarriage of each flying unit is known only by the command at the Air Corps Cold Weather Experiment Station - and the command says: "There is no news about that"
 One thing is certain-it won't be bomb. That is, unless they're putting up bombs now in quin- inc capsules.
 Because the squadron which will soar into the sky is com posed of censored number of pig cons, detailed to the Cold Weath CT Experiment Station for cold weather experimentation.
 The soldier birds are recent ar rivals at Ladd Field from the Signal Corps school at Fort Mon mouth, New Jersey.
 In command of the detachment are Privates Thomas Meade and Edward Vancho of the censored censored regiment. N eith Q r Meade nor Vancho is a pigeon himself, but both were familiar with birdlife before Selective Service came to Pittston, Penn sylvania. and Garfield, New Jer sey, their home towns.
 Alaska's experimentation with pigeons in communication is new, but advanced. Innovations devef oped by the Signal Corps within

the past two years will be put to proof under frigid tests.
 Mobile lofts,' on trailers, will be employed in the nigeon man euvers.
 Use Mobile Lofts
 Use of the mobile loft-a trav- e'ing pigeon cote-requires spec tally trained pigeons with super for IQ's, because the homeward bround birds must learn to look around for his rolling nest in stead of mechanically returning to the same spot.
 Part of the training will in- clude being released from an Army bomber.
 How the pigeons will take to bitter weather is one of the dis coveries set up as objectiveS of the experimentation. Pigeoneers Meade and Vancho claim their winged troopers should be able to stand the cold better than men, since their body tempera- ture is as high as 1O7 degrees.
 The mobile loft, however, will be heated, and the pigeons may use the quarters as a day-room. Once they give signs of complete cure of their homesickness for New Jersey, they will be permit ted to venture from the cote, as the men do from the barracks.
 Meanwhile, the pigeoneers are working on a device for the heat ing of the mobile loft, so that the Army couriers can warm their tootsies after a hard day on the wing from Pt. Barrow o Melt ushkin.

 The President told the news men that it will be impossible to move whole plant from one locality to another, but certain divisions of a factory, however, he said, might be moved back from seacoasts at a moments notice.

able to offer them.
 So long as the aliens in this country conduct themselves in acordance with law, they need fear no interference by the De- partment of Justice or by any other agency of the Federal Gov ernment. They may be assured, indeed, that every effort will be made to protect them from any discrimination or abuse This as- surance Is given not only in jus tee and decency to the loyal non-citizens in this country but also in the hope that it may spare American citizens in en- emy countries unjust retaliation.
 Inevitably, there are some among our alien population who are disIoyal. The Federal Govern ment is fully aware of the dan gers presented not only by such persons but also by disloyal cit izens. The Government has con trol of the activities of these elements. At no time, however, will the Government engage in wholesale condemnation of any alient group.
 The Department of Justice be- lieves that an alert and vigilant citizenry can aid in the defense of the nation against hostile ele- ments. The Department is con vinced. however, that it is ag anst the best interests of the na- ton for citizens 10 attempt them selves to apprehend or punish real Or fancied v.olators of the law. Citizens should transmit all evidence of hostile activity eith CT 10 the rearest office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or directly to the Department of Jus ice in Washington.
 The Department also urges 1-7t States and local authorities take no direct action against sus pected alisneienthr in -.-.. ... pec.ed aliens in their eommunit- .es but instead consult with rep resentatives of the Department of Justice, which is qualified by law and experience to handle any situation threatening the in terests of the nation.
 The defense of our country will be hurt, not helped, by any persecution of our non-citizens. If we create the feeling among aliens and other foreign-born that they are not wanted here. we shall endanger our national unity. Such an impression could only give aid and comfort to those enemies whose aim it is to infect us with distrust of each other and turn aliens in America against America. To do this would be to defeat what we our selves are defending.

ment of policy With regard to the position of aliens now in the United States. The statement was prepared, the Attorney General said, in the hope that # would help to eliminate uncertainty and confusion which exists among alien groups and to make clear to the public generally the position taken by the Federal Government.
 The United States is now at war. Every American will share in the task of defending our coun Try. It Is essential at such time as this that we keep our heads, keep our tenpers = above all. that we keep clearly in mind what we are defending.
 The enemy has attacked more than the soil of America. He has attacked our institutions, our freedoms, the principles on which this nation was founded and has grown to greatness. Ev- cry American must remember that the war we wage today is in defense of these principles. I. therefore behooves us to guard them most zealously at home.
 There are living in the United States today aliens who make up only 312 percent of our total pop ulation. These aliens for the most part are here legally and are loyall 10 this country's institu- t;ons. Many of them are aliens in the technical sense of the word on'y. Four out of five of them have family ties i0 this country in most cases. Ameri- can-5orn children. Forty per cent of those elig. ble for citizen ship have already taken steps tc become American citizens. A suh stantial number of our aliens are ineligible for citizenship either because they are under eighteen years of age or because they have been here for less than the two years residence required of citizenship applicants, or for other technical reasons.
 The great majority of our alier population will continue to b. loyal to our democratic princir les if we, the citizens of the United States, permit them 10 be AS a matter of justice and ou' of duty to our country and tc our own institutions we must therefore, foster their loyalty and give it our encouragement We must, remember especially that most of those who cam, here from other lands did so bl cause they revere and respec the freedoms which America i
