 The air force news announce ment testimony earlier this year by Gen. Carl Spaatz, USAF chief Of staff, and Lt Gen. Ira C. Baker, then deputy AAF commander and now retired.
 Spaatz said that the combina- ton of large populations and vast industrial resources prov l d three possible areas in the north ern hemisphere from which at tacks on the United States might be launched - western Europe, eastern Eurasia and nearby 'S- lands in the western Pacific, the land mass of central Asia" He re- ferred to long range bOmbers and the possibilities of long range guided missiles and the paths for them over the pole. This, said he, changes our whole defense pie lure; it means, for example, that we must have a chain of radar stations looking northWard to dis coveH the enemy weapons and we must have means of intercepting and destroying them"
 Baker spoke of the need of bases for American long range tOmbers closest to possible en- enGy targets" and referred to need for two new major air bases, one in northern Maine (which is now being built at Limestone), the other, Baker said, was urgently needed ''in the location which would put us closest to the indus trial capacity in one of the three areas mentioned by General Spaatz." His reference here ap- parently was to Alaska.

PETE SATTERLEE PRAISES SERPENTINE SPRINGS

Pete Satterlee returned recent ly from the Serpentine Springs where he has spent the early spring and summer, and describes this little known vacation spot, which is in Nome's backyard, as wonderful place.
 He states that it is hard to be- lieve that only 90 miles from Nome there is a region of Sandy black soil, warm and tropical the whole year. All through the win ter, with a few glass enclouSureS for protection, anyone could grow flowers and edibles. There is also a creek nearby, MT. Satterlee states, where Dolly Warden and Arctic trout abound the year round.
 The bath facilities include Is by P foot building with a spa cious tank deeply embedded for a steady inflow and outlet of the health giving spring waters. The tank is lareg enough to accommo- date about ten people at one time. Others can lounge in the dressing rooms or take steam baths.
 The main building is 55 feet long and can accommodate twenty beds. It is partitioned into a main kitchen and two additional rooms for men and women As there is a cook stove in each room, food can be prepared separately if desired.
 Willow wood and branches for fuel can be gathered, and that is all that is needed as the building is erected on hot ground.
 MT. Saterlee states that the spot is frequented regularly by those who know the place and could be developed into a real resort as ev- erythng is there to make it posSi- ble.
