CITY LEAGUE TOUR NAMENT
 ENDS FRIDAY
Bears io Be Hosts to Win ners di Banquet
 Next Week

On Thursday and Friday nights of this week, the final basketball games of the season will be played in the Juneau High School gym. It was announced yesterday that the teams would draw for place on Thursday evening preceding the game, but Superintendent A. B. Philips was asked to see to the drawing, therefore it was done this morning in his office.
 Phillips deposited four slips of paper bearing the names of the four teams. the Coppers, Bankers, Juneau High School, and the Gremlins in a hat. Coach Barney Anderson was summoned from his classroom, and in the presence of Phillips. Doris McEachran, secre- tary to the Superintendent, Erna Meier, office girl, and an Empire reporter, chose one of the slips, which turned out to be the Juneau High School. The reporter then chose one, the Coppers, so the two will play the first game on Thurs day evening, to be followed by a match between the Gremlins and Bankers.
 On Friday evening the winners Of the two games on Thursday will be matched for the play-off to de- termine first and second place, and Thursday evenings losers will play for third and fourth places in the City League.
 Some day next week Juneau Highs Crimson Bears will be hosts to the winners of the City League tournament at a banquet in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel. If they themselves win first place. then the runner-up will be enter tained

The pasting which u. S.
Navy task force administered
the Japs on Truk offers the best
example you could ask for to
sow how naval tactics have ex-
banded since the start of World
War III. For Truk is $500 miles
from Pearl Harbor, principal
base for U. s. fleet operations in
the Pacific. and under the old
concepts of logistics. it wasn't
considered safe for a fleet to OPP
crate in combat that far away
from home.
Today, however. 3500-mile
radius operations for naval task
forces may be considered just a
beginning for long-range naval
warfare, and even a 5000-mile
radius for future naval opera
tons is not beyond the realm
OF possibility.

quently stated as gospel the
maxim that maximum distance
at which a fleet could fight was
$500 miles from its base. Sound
naval taeticians- have never con-
sidered themselves bound by
this 2,500-mile range limitation,
insisting that it has been a mis-
conception and too tight radius
Of operation. Nevertheless, it is
admitted that today combat
zones have been so lengthen-
ed that tomorrow anything may
and probably will happen in ex-
treme range warfare at sea.

propulsion which has increased
the range of some ships by as
much as 1000 miles. 1t has given
the u S Navy a decided edge
over the Japs. 1t has been ef-
fected generally in the U. S.
Navy over the past 10 years,
first through the substitution of
fuel oil for coal. permitting the
carrying of more energy In q
given space; second, through the
use of high-pressure boilers and
turbines developing and using
high-temperature steam, COM
bination that in some cases has
resulted in fuel savings and in
creased efficiency of 35 per cent.
On top of this l,000-mile gain
in radius. airpower has increased
the range of fleet operation by
as much as 500 miles. This has
led to the development of the
aircraft carrier as the central
figure of a task force. Carriers,
needing speed to give their stub
by,winged planes the extra lift
which will get them into the air
and back on the comparatively
short landing decks, have had to
sacrifice armament to get the
speed. But that has meant that
the carriers protecting forces OF
cruisers and destroyers have had
to be built to- keep up with the
range and speed Of the carrier.
All down the line, supply
ships tankers, am munition
ships repair ships, tenders -
have had to be built so they
could keep up with this new
pace and range of naval warfare
Battleships now do 80 knots an

35, for longer ranges. Conveys

replenishing supplies of both
ammunition and food at sea, are
no longer occasional tricks but
established routines.
While submarines cannot keep
up with these speedy move
ments, they have range that per-
mits them to operate out OF
Pearl Harbor for attacks on
shipping lanes near the Jap coast
the full $500 miles, covering
perhaps 10000 miles on one tour
of duty, staying at sea for weeks.
Increased operating ranges of
u. S. naval forces in the Pacific
have not, Of course. been entire
ly dependent on this greater eff
ficiency of ships and planes.
Pearl Harbor is supplemented by
the new and known bases at Sa-
moa, Auckland, in New Zealand,
Noumea in New Caledonia, Bris-
bane, Sydney and Port Darwin
in Australia-all from 5000 to
5000 miles from Tokyo. but only
1000 to 1000 miles from newer
auxiliary bases in the Solomons
and the Gilberts. The job of Vice
Admiral William l.. Calhoun,
commander Of the Pacific Fleet
Service Force, is now one of
keeping ample supplies at these
most advanced positions, we'll
over $500 miles west of Pearl
Harbor, over 5000 miles west of
San Francisco.
AS the war moves into these
extreme range operations, all
pointing towards the Jap base at
Truk, the Pacific campaign CEN
tiers on a new and highly import
ant triangle of Truk- Tokyo-Ma-
Mia. Truk is $500 miles from
Pearl Harbor, but from Truk to
Toyko or from Truk to Manila
is only a little over 1000 miles,
and that's getting the war back
under the old 250O-mile radius
of operation, even though Ma
Mia is $500 miles from San Fran
cisco, 5000 miles beyond Pearl
Harbor.
