ARNOLD BEM0ANS
WEAK AIR FORCE
Former AAF Commander
Saws Alaska Vulnerable
To Sneak Attack

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S-W.D-
Gen. Henry H. Arnold, wartime
commander of the Army Air
Forces, said today that the air
forces are not properly equipped
to defend Alaska-our first line
of Polar defense.
In an editorial in Flying Mag
azine, he warned that any sur
prise attack on the United States
will come by air via the Arctic
circle.
"Alaska is ours, to arm as we
please" he said. "We could
make it the next thing to one
solid air base if we wanted to-.
in view of the fact that we al
ready know that our greatest
danger lies over the Arctic. why
aren't we doing it?"
ITO outward appearances,
Alaska's tremendous importance
in the air world is known to
almost every thinking group OF
people except, perhaps: a few
in Washington"
Arnold said the us airforces
are so meager that they could
barely defend isolated sections
of the American frontier-let
alone the vast regions of Alaska.
Compares Figures
"Our present Army air forces
all together could hardly defend
the Northeast Atlantic coast"
he said. First live combat
planes of the Army and Navy
together total just 1900 today.
Russia is supposed to have A..
o00."
He said bluntly tl-at, because
of the condition of the air forces,
1--WE + as vulnerable to
modern warfare today as we
were on Dec. Z, 1914"
1T is quite possible that we
are even more vulnerable than
we realize" he said. "The de.

and rockets in other countries

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18-R-
Rep. Eaton (R-NJ), chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs COM
mittee, said tonight 1--WE must

Eaton spoke over CHS shortly

Nations Assembly. Eaton. how

of this attack at the time he

GORDON RECITAL
WELL RECEIVED
Appeared Before Enthus-
iastic Audience Al New
Hanover High School

In his recital last night, IN
the New Hanover High school
auditorium, Norman Gordon gave
a finer exhibition of his powers
than many of his auditors who
were familiar only. with his re-
cordings previously realized.
This reporter has felt that he
among all the top flight bass
baritones in recent years more
nearly matches the full, rich dia.
pason tones that distinguished
Chaliapin in his heyday.
Cordon's performance last
night confirmed this estimate;
nor is it wholly fair to him tc
measure his attainment only by
comparison with the great Rus
sian singer, for in addition to his
musicianship he has a sense OF
proportion, a discretion in inter
probation, and a talent for friend
illness with his hearers that
Chaliapin lacked.
Gordon thanked the South
Eastern North Carolina Beach
Association and the Junior
Chamber of Commerce for max
ing his Wilmington visit possible,
which really was in reverse Eng
lish, for the Jaycees and the
SENCBA were, and still are,
under deep obligation to him
for coming and giving a recital
without compensation so that the
entire revenue might help defray
the expenses of the fishing rodeo:
His program was designed
primarily to satisfy the musical
