siles by saying cit has been deter
mined that there is q definite need
today for a proving ground capable
of testing missiles having ranges in
excess of $50 miles" A site has been
approved and enabling legislation
will be submitted to Congress, he
added. Range has been one of the
principal difficulties in the develop
ment OF such missiles.
Mr.. Symington listed numerous
Air Force achievements during the
year, chief Of which was the i'm
provement Of management practices
designed to eliminate the possibil-
tiles of waste and duplication and
assure maximum economy.
Chief among the items on which
there has been unsatisfactory
progress" is housing, Mr.. Symington
reported. He expressed concern over
the. service s desperate need Of both
family and troop housing. He SAID
it represented serious and imIni-
nent threat to the entire Air Force
The end result Of the Air Force
housing shortage has direct ad-
verse effect on enlistment and re-
enlistment rates, as well asaons ila-
dividuaf efficiency and productivity,
he said. More than $4,000 airmen
$50 have declared that they do not
intend to re-enlist unless adequate
family housing, to which they are
legally entitled, is provided.
Will Mean Loss of Airmen.
Failure Of these airmen to re-en-
list will represent loss Of many
millions Of dollars in training costs
plus three years OF training effort
plus the loss of their much-needed
skills," he concluded.
| Mr.. Symington also listed under
unsatisfactory progress:
/. Inadequate base facilities.
2. insufficient medical care.
3, Production delays in the air.
craft industry.
4. 1nadequacy of research and de-
velopment facilities, especially in
the fields of supersonic aircraft and
guided miss les.
He also reported that the Air
Force lacked an adequate source of
of1cer personnel trained as pro-
fessionals, such as is provided for
the Army and Navy. The depart
ment has proposed that 1t receive
one third Of the Annapolis and West
Point graduates, respectively, he
added, and that the balance come
from the Reserve Onicer Training
Corps.
May Need Air Academy.
IF the proposal is not accepted
and supplemented. 1t will be neces-
sary to provide some alternative
perhaps an Air Academy comparable
to West Point and Annapolis" he
warned. The Air Force will re-
ceive 40 per cent of the West Point
graduates and per cent of those in
the Annapolis graduating class this
year under a plan worked out by
Mr.. Forrestal.

and impressive showing of the

TOUR OF ALAKA
 IN COLOR FILM
 FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

Juneauites will remember the great Alaskan Color Variety Shows of the past two years conducted by the Parent Teacher Association in behalf of the PTA Scholarship Fund.
 These highly successful programs were fine entertainment for a worthy cause. This year, the same great program bigger and better than ever and more conveniently arranged for the public, will be concentrated into nearly 5000 feet of color movies, the best of 10 years experience by one of Juneaus best photographers, Trevor Davis. The program is called a Circle Tour of Alaska"
 Starting at Skagway and going over the famous White Pass Route to Whitehorse the movie takes an interesting trip down the Yukon nearly 1000 miles, short stop at interesting Circle Hot Springs. Scenes of Fairbanks and Anchorage taken ten years ago will interest old timers. There is an unusually fine visit to Mckinley park with perfect views of Denali, and the various species of big game found there, including grizzly bears, twin moose, calves, mountain sheep.
 Most interesting is a complete pictorial description of the work of the big gold dredge operations around Fairbanks.
 A fine close up of Columbia Glacier, an air trip over the worlds largest glacier covering 1900 square miles, aerial views of Mt. St. Elias and Mt. Fairweather, closeup inti- mate shots of bears on the fishing ground, very rare whale fight, an exploration of Glacier Bay, Tracy Arm, all will be shown in vivid color Friday evening, April at the High School Gym at 8 o'clock.
 During a brief intermission an offering will he taken for the Scholarship fund. There will be no admission charge for this excep- t.onally fine selection of pictures, 50 come early for a good seat. Children must be accompanied by and remain with their parents.

MongreI, Eskimo
 Strained Dog, Awaits fl Months for Ship

ELIZABETH, N. J.-tR-A mon grel dog of Eskimo strain has been waiting Il months on dock here for a Norwegian tanker that left him behind.
 Brownie, as he is called by en- ployees of the Esso Standard Oil Company's BayWay Refinery, takes food, but seemingly without in- terest. He crawls under a loading platform when it rains, and he hugged a snowbank during the winter storms.
 He ignores all offers of affection.
 The dog was ashore when the tanker, the Maria Cristina D., sailed from the refinery dock last April.
 Whenever a tanker docks, guard John Socha says, Brownie walks over to it, sniffs and returns to his sleeping area with head hang ing low.
