The House committee, headed by

fleets a clear desire to give special

quire this field"
1t found that the award to the
school was announced prior to the

Even though this award was made
subject to the appearance of another

Britain Plans 10 Shift
Orient LifeIines With
Great Africa Highway
3,000-MiIe Road Moy Link
Tremendous Bases on
East and West Coasts
By Arthur Govshon
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent,

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Reorgani-
cation of Britain's lifelines to
the Orient may include establish
ment of tremendous military
bases on both the east and west
coasts of Africa linked by a g.
000-mile superhighway bisecting
the dark continent.
z,- The shape of this. gigantic i'm
perial defense program was out
lined today by Whitehall, Colonial
Office and War Office sources as an
imposing group of Middle Eastern
experts and leaders, in both mill
tary and political fields, gathered
in London for a series of confer
ences.
Behind the planning lay the Brit
lsh decision to withdraw from
Egypt, the manifold political
troubles of the Middle East and the
costly lesson of World War IL
that the Mediterranean link is far
from invulnerable.
Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech
Jones gave the first clear indica-
ton of the magnitude of the pro-
posed reorganization.
Huge Installation Planned.
In an exclusive interview, the
new cabinet minister disclosed that
plan is being discussed to set up
in Nigeria. on Africa's west coast,
huge installation similar to that
which Whitehall sources earlier had
said was being considered for the
east coast colony of Kenya.
Mr. Creech Jones, conhning his
remarks to colonial activities, did
not elaborate on the plan, but from
an informed military source came
the disclosure that if the two
coastal bases are established, de-
Tense advisers will then recommend
construction of an arterial high
way linking them across equatorial
Africas deserts, jungles and swamps.
This source said examination OF
these interconnected proposals
would be one of the first tasks con-
fronting A. v. Alexander who has
been designated as the new defense
minister, and that Alexander was
expected to submit an overall i'm
perial military strategy plan to the
cabinet soon after he assumes Of
flee. Creation of the Defense Min
istry is one of the first orders of
business on the Labor government S
new legislative program.
