MOUTH E FISH
is ZOO ATTRACTION

SAN FRANCISCO UP The
San Francisco aquarium is calling
the attention of visitors to its fe-
male Egyptian mouth : breeding
fish, whose mouth now is full OF
eggs being Matched.
William B. Richardson, tropical
fish expert at the California
Academy Of Science, explained
that the fish picks up her eggs
after they have been fertilized and
holds them in her mouth until
they hatch.
During the Is day incumbation
period, the little fish refuses all
food. And after the young are
Matched the mother carries them
in her mouth. They venture out
occasionally, but when danger
threatens they quickly swim back
into their mothers mouth-untll
they get too big.

U. S. TO BUILD
HUGE AIR BASE
Construction To Start
About June Is Near
Canadian Border

WASHINGTON, April 80. -(P)-
The United States will build a base
for its heaviest and longest range
bombers in Aroostook county,
Maine, the corner of the nation
closest to troubled Europe.
This important development in
the nations strategic planning was
disclosed today in a routine an
nouncement by the Army Air forces
that construction of the new base,
four miles from the Canadian bor-
der, will start about June IS. 1t
probably will be completed in the
fall Of 1913, at a cost estimated
between S13, 900, 900 and $14, 900, 900.
While the announcement did not
mention particular types of bomb
ers, the AAF now uses B-29's and
expects delivery in the near fu-
ture of B-50's and later of B-36's.
Unless a new very heavy bonn
bardment" WHB) command is
created before the field goes into
use, it is probable that one of the
two forces of the strategic air
command, the 9th or 18th air
forces, will operate superbombers
from it.
The new field, to be built four
miles northwest of the village of
Limestone, is about 80 miles north
east of the AAF base at Presque
Isle, Me-, starting point for trans
Atlantic flights during the war.
When asked why a new base was
being constructed instead Of inn
proving one of the existing bases
in the area, an AAF official said
that ''the criteria for very heavy
bombardment bases has increased
so much that no field in the area
could be converted as quickly OF
cheaply as can be done by con-
structing a new base"
Construction plans call for a
runway 10, 600 feet long by 300 feet
wide, taxiways 100 feet wide, park
ing aprons 700 by 1000 feet, a
hangar 300 by $40 feet (the wing
span of the B-36 is 230 feet; sew
age disposal plant, water supply
system and electric power system
capable of serving 1000 men and
which can be expanded later, ope-
rations building and control tower
and barracks and dining hall IA
cilities for a security detachment
of $50 men.
Local labor and construction and
materials will be utilized as far
as possible, the AAF said.
1t was recalled that the Army
and Navy Jointly announced a new
unified military command system
last winter which included a
'tNorvt command" Beyond the
original official announcement that
such a command would 'include
bases and forces in the northeast
ern approaches to the United
States" no description of this
plan has been issued up to now.
Speculation has been that the
northeastern command would be
headed by an air officer. Con-
struction of the new Maine base
presumably would fit into plans
for a complex of air fields, Army
installations and presumably would
lit into plans for a complex of air
fields, Army installations and ma
val bases for guarding the north
