''Alaska Could Be We'll Defended"

JUNEAU, (P)-The command ing general of armed forces in Alaska thinks the Territory would be ably and we'll defended if it were attacked by an enemy force.
 The commander, It. Gen. Will liam E. Kepner, expressed his confidence here Sunday in a speech at the opening of the 3lst annual convention of the Ameri- can Legion, Department of Alas ka.
 Alaska can be defended with the troops we now have," he said. "I don't say Alaska couldn't be taken by an enemy force nor do I say it could be taken, but any ag- gressor would receive big jolt in any attack on Alaska"
 He said that present military strategy is to defend the heart lines of the Territory rather than engage in a costly deployment of men along the many thousands of miles of coastline.
