GIL DODDS STARS
ON INDOOR TRACK
Plank Pounding Parson
Beats All Ranking
Milers Easily

NEW YORK, March g. Up
TIE indoor track season here has
ended and the whole campaign can
be summed up in two words -
Gil Dodds.
up to last nights Knights of Co
Mmbus games, Dodds had taken
on the ranking milers and two
mllers n night at a time and had
beat them all easily. But Satur-
day, with 5000 fans cheering him
on, the durable deacon climaxed
n Madison Square Garden sea-
o with a spectacular distance
double in which he drubbed both
the milers and two-milers within
O an hour and five minutes.
Not only did he win both events
In his usual handy fashion, but had
he been pressed in the mile the
plank-pounding parson might have
broken his own indoor mile rec.
ord of 1904 which he established
in Chicago, March 10, 1914.

fight, they played hard and it
was a difficult task to pick
the better team. Connie Hes

The Richlands boys team,
under the coaching of D. j.

1t was the first taste of de-
feat for the Yellow Jackets in
"a straight games. The Rich

in the first quarter and were
never headed by the scrappy
Yellow Jackets of coach J. C.
Taylor.
At the half the Richlands
aggregation lead by a 2O-15
count. A large cheering sec
ton of Elizabethtown fans
roared as the Yellow Jackets

up enough points to capture the
title.

ed coach Johnson on their
shoulders ana the victory
march around the floor began.
In the excitement, Coach Brog-
den was unable to present the
trophy. Roy Cook, managed to
edge his way into the crowd
and hand the trophy to the
happy coach. He held 1t high
above his head and the rafters
rocked with yells from the
Richlands team.

Sam johnson and his assocl-
ate referees did a marvellous
Job. Assisting Sam we're Yer

ALASKA SCOUT
 COUNCIL HEADS
 ARE IN SESSION.
Elaborate Program for All of Alaska 0rgdniza-
 lions Planned

Alaska Scout Council executives are putting thei1 heads together this week in order that more boys will get quality Scouting in all of Alaska, Council President Charles Bufdick said today, as the field executives from Anchorage and Fairbanks conferred with Scout Executive Cslbsrt Hanks in order to coordinate the two large districts of the westward and the two dis tricts of Southeast Alaska.
 Under review in the staff con- ference during the weekend and continuing today was discussion of the camping and activities pro gram, including camporees, which train boys to camp by patrols as all the Scout troops in one district come together for weekend of outdoor living and to exchange techniques. Time was also spent in discussing promotional meth ods of having troops camp under their own leadership so that the planned yearly program of the Scoutmaster could be continued in camp under his own supervision. Policies of the National Scout Council were reviewed and brought up to date.
 Field Executive Harold Gribble, Anchorage, and Field Executive Russell Apple, Fairbanks, both re- lated in detail their last summers camping program, and began to lay plans for promoting a long term winter camp under troop leader ship and under council supervision during the Christmas vacation for boys of Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks, to he held near each key city.
 The newly acquired Senior Scout Camp at Mt. Mckinley Ma tional Park, at Savage River, may be the site of a get together camp of Scouts from both Anchorage and Fairbanks, for the long term winter camp.
 Spreading the fundamentals Of the Scouting movement to all peo- pie of Alaska, with emphasis on members of parent institutions which sponsor Cub, Scout or Senior units and on the boys parents was discussed, and it was suggested that District Committees might adopt the plan that Bobcat, Ten derfoot and Apprentice examina- tions be given in the boys own home before his parents. These requirements are the first step a boy takes in entering either the Cub, Scout or Senior program of the Boy Scouts of America, and this method would result in an understanding by the parents of the program their son was enter ing.
 Yet to be discussed by the execu- tives are the annual, Fall Round up, registration procedures, Boys Life magazine promotion, member ship accounting, district opera tion and leadership training meth ods.

NETWORK OF
 AIR FORCE IS REVEALED
(Sontinued rom Pane OTeI


 mony earlier this year by Gen. Carl Spaatz, USAF Chief of Staff and It. Gen. Ira c. Baker, then Deputy AAF Commander and now retired.
 Spaatz said that the combination of large populations and vast in- dustrial resources provided three possible areas in the northern hem isphere from which attacks on the United States might be launched western Europe, eastern Eurasia and nearby islands in the western Pacific, the land mass of central Asia He referred 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 picture; it means, for example, that we must have a chain of radar sta tions looking northward to discover the enemy weapons and we must
 have a means of intercepting and destroying them"
 Baker spoke of the need of bases for American long range bombers closest to possible enemy targets and referred to need for two new major air bases, one in northern Maine (which iS now heinz hllilt at Limestone). The other, Baker said, was urgently needed "in the loca- ton which would put US closest to the industrial capacity in one of the three areas mentioned by Gen. eral Spaatz." His reference here apparently was to Alaska.
